Lyrics

The mountains of Mexico
Stand just a stone's throw away from here
Looking down this canyon
I can hear the Rio Grande and the whippoorwills
The hearts of three hundred women
Cast in plaster, names written below
Still more missing
Families forever left in repose
Call out, I call out
To raise the bones from the earth
I was a bruja in my last life
Cursed to wander this desert for all of time
At the tone of the coming
Of the bloodshed and honor crime
On these borderlands
Not quite human, not quite beyond the veil
I am the smell of the old souls
I am the dust dug underneath your nails
Call out, I call out
To raise the bones from the earth
Call out, I call out
To march on the men who destroyed you
As is not to revenge
Every hand who helped this when we meet their end
I pick them off one by one
One man for each drop, four hundred gallons of blood
Help the good ones pass
Cloaked in white until they cross into Texas
My name is La Loba
And I'll raise my army of dead
Call out, I call out
To raise the bones from the earth
Call out, I call out
To march on the men who destroyed you
Call out, I call out
To raise the bones from the earth
Call out, I call out
To march on the men who destroyed you
