[Music by Raul Ignacio Alvarez Garcia & Sean Veale]
[Lyrics by Raul Ignacio Alvarez Garcia]
Twilight approaches
to a mortal dawn
A blood trail is set forth
A Puma helicopter
From Santiago station
carries in entourage...
The caravan of death!
"Special Commando squad"
dispatched by Pinochet
on a top secret mission
Under mortal command
of general Arellano
"Official delegate of the Military Government Junta"
Black Commando Force
Hatred filled minds
Armed with machine guns
Armed with "Corvo" blades
Carrying a list of names
to dispatch execution
October 4th it commenced (1973)
In Canquenes region
four captives executed
shot point blank in the head
16th of October
La Serena Gaol
Fifteen captives slain
Machine gunned in the chest
Copiapo prison
October 17th
Sixteen butchered alive
Murdered with Corvo blades
Antofagasta
October 18th
Fourteen mutilated
By submachine gun fire
Calama, Ocotber 19th
on Topater Hill
26 prisoners shot and hacked to death
The Caravan of death carried out its mortiferous insidious mission
Enforcing covert military blood edict on where the Puma landed
Massacred cadavers lay mutilated where they fell
Violently executed without trial
Some detainees who were slain were awaiting court martial
Whilst others who were slain were already serving sentence
The majority gave themselves up, in accord to military summons
Accused of being members of socialist and communist parties
When General Arellano arrived
At a prison site
He inspected lists of the detainees
Marking selected names
Signatures them for death
His entourage awaits the blood trial order
Each locations base commander didn't know of the secret mission
hierarchical escort duties denied view of the blood trial
As the entourage drove away in trucks to collect captives from prison
Who were taken to a secret location for final judgement
Colonel Arredondo, Colonel Espinoza, Major Moden Brito, Lieutenant Fernandez,
Execute the final military blood edict
