Lena stands on the edge of the crater and that past
Emptier than her faith and larger than her rage
Lena has green eyes, she's born in Mexico
Conceived on the run between Jaffa and the sun
And Poland and Cyprus, Thailand and Cuba
On boats like the Exodus, her mother was called Luba
She was running for her life in a decade of fear
When Lena was born they arrived at the pier
Lena stands on the edge of the crater and that past
Emptier than her faith and larger than her rage
And larger than her rage, emptier than her faith
And her laughter survives, it's loud and it's bitter
It's freeing the blame, five times she changed her names
Life's good for a while, but just for a while
'Til the needles get sharper and thicker than nails
The throat tightens up and the music fails
They've always been there, they won't give up
Those stories of barracks and trains and trucks
Lena stands on the edge of the crater and that past
Emptier than her faith and larger than her rage
And larger than her rage, emptier than her faith
Hey, caballeros, sing a song for Lena
Play your beautiful guitar, lighten up her spirits
Maybe she can hear it, maybe she can hear it
Maybe
In Mexico the air is thin
The smell of sewage, voices of working kids
Everything's for sale like in Mogadishu
Justice doesn't take place, money floats in channels
As long as the earth doesn't shake
Please don't, don't move
It's school time and the angel rules
But at night time the demons come
Lena stands on the edge of the crater and that past
Emptier than her faith and larger than her rage
And larger than her rage, emptier than her faith
Larger than her rage, emptier than her faith
