lyrics

THE COLONEL
(March 14, 2021)



The Colonel’s esprit searches for the lost city
The Lost City of Z… Searching in the 1920s
No certainty of success.

Where did The Colonel die?
Where does The Colonel lie?
How did he die and why?


El Dorado at dawn… Deep within The Amazon
A city of gold… A city of great wealth foretold.

Relics and ruins in jungle mounds
Temples and tombs on sacred grounds
And all around jungle sounds.

Colonel Percy… The City of Z
No guarantees but on they march
Hunting for monuments… statuary
And searching for antiquities.


Cuiaba at dawn… Trekking through The Amazon
Adversity ignored… Leading through lands unexplored
The golden hoard is the reward.

Where did The Colonel die?
Where does The Colonel lie?
How did he die and why?


Oh, where could he be? Lost… Like the Lost City
One hundred years on… Deep within The Amazon.

“I am here to attempt great things. I wish to find the lost city. A man’s reach should exceed his grasp!

I am proposing that Amazonia contain a hidden civilization. If we may find a city, where one was considered impossible to exist, it may well write a whole new chapter in human history!

The river will be our home for the next two years. We shall not fail. Mankind awaits our discoveries.”
