about

...the story of an abandoned, god-forsaken Tex-Mex town and the mama's-boy sheriff that couldn't save it...

lyrics

Another tumbleweed departing/without a farewell
The empty buildings filled with stories, that they'll never tell.

Who will save us
in good time?

La Caida del Tamale/Fall of Tamale

(dimitta nobis debita nostra) *forgive us our debts

They dipped their cups into the fountain/until it ran dry
And when la lana left without us/we watched our town die *(mexican slang for money, "dough")

Who will save us
in good time?

La Caida del Tamale/Fall of Tamale

(ex toto corde poenitet me) *with all my heart I repent

And now it all comes down to you.
You had to blow it like a fool.
And your maw, she still knows best.
She just don't like the way you're dressed.

Our golden fantasies of power/inflamed our desire
And saw our families, god and friendships/consumed in the fire.

No more candles,
no more prayers.

Donde esta mi ciudad?

(requiem aeternam dona nobis) *give us eternal rest

Left empty-souled and empty-handed/our world fell apart
And here we linger in Tamale/a town with no heart.

Don't cry for history.
Just close your eyes.

Donde esta mi ciudad?
Donde esta mi ciudad?

(te absolvo peccatis tuis) *I absolve you of your sins
