At a point below zero
There's no place left to go
Six hundred unknown heroes
Were killed like sleeping buffalo
Through the devil's canyon
Across the battlefield
Death has no companion
The spirit is forced to yield
There goes the bandolero
Through the hole in the wall
He's a coward but doesn't care though
In fact, he don't care at all
The general that's commanding
He's defending what he fears
While the troops they are depending
On reinforcements from the rear
If God is in the heavens
How can this happen here?
In his name, they used the weapons
For the massacre
There's a point below zero
Where the sun can see the land
Six hundred unknown heroes
Lay dead beneath the sand
There's no place left to go
Six hundred unknown heroes
Were killed like sleeping buffalo
Through the devil's canyon
Across the battlefield
Death has no companion
The spirit is forced to yield
There goes the bandolero
Through the hole in the wall
He's a coward but doesn't care though
In fact, he don't care at all
The general that's commanding
He's defending what he fears
While the troops they are depending
On reinforcements from the rear
If God is in the heavens
How can this happen here?
In his name, they used the weapons
For the massacre
There's a point below zero
Where the sun can see the land
Six hundred unknown heroes
Lay dead beneath the sand

I never knew such an amazing song existed until I was listening to the recordings of the Axis of Justice Radio Show (Serj Tankian and Tom Morello). They played this song on a show concerning genocide. Such a touching song, with poignant lyrics, and a haunting message about genocides and massacres all around the world.
