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