[Instrumental Intro - Tiple and requinto lead, clear Colombian Andean character] [Verse 1 - Driving full band, plucked-string accents integrated] Smoke breaks open on the road, their front is moving fast. I give the word, our rifles rise, the first volley cracks. We drive them back toward Teatinos, but there they turn and stand. Musket fire cuts from the far bank; the crossing waits ahead. [Pre-Chorus - Pressure rising] They mean to hold us here. I will not give them time. Forward! close the ground. [Chorus - Explosive full band] Take the other side! Straight through the fire! Drive them from the crossing, break them from the line! Take the other side! Keep moving forward! Steel into the smoke don't let them stand! [Verse 2 - Full momentum maintained, plucked-string accents integrated] Bayonets level through the smoke, our first men reach the span. The far bank keeps firing back; still more men press on. Our boots take higher ground, their ranks draw back again. They try to close the gaps ahead; I send my men straight in. [Pre-Chorus - Pressure rising] A line begins to open. Another fails to close. Forward! give them no ground. [Chorus - Explosive full band, heavier] Take the other side! Straight through the fire! Drive them from the crossing, break them from the line! Take the other side! Keep moving forward! Steel into the smoke don't let them stand! [Bridge - Sustained full-tempo drive] Their volleys lose their shape. Men turn before they fire. Off to our right, the gunfire starts to thin. Weapons strike the earth. More prisoners fill the road. The line that held a moment ago won't close again. [Guitar Solo - Short, aggressive, drums keep driving] [Final Chorus - Maximum full-band intensity] Take the other side! Straight through the fire! Now the crossing lies behind us watch their whole line break! Take the other side! Keep moving forward! Steel through the last resistance nothing holds us now! Take the other side! No line before us! They try to form— we drive straight through! Take the other side! Nothing left to stop us! The ground gives way and they are done! [End]
