Description

On August 13, 1521, the mighty Aztec Empire faced its final day. After months of siege, the city of Tenochtitlán fell to Spanish conquistadors and their allies. Smoke curled over the once-great temples… the canals ran red… and a new era began in Mexico’s history. Now, let the rhythm of drums and strings carry you to that fateful day.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
In the heart of the valley, the sun burned high,
Walls of stone, where the eagles fly,
Drums of war, and a battle cry,
Tenochtitlán stood proud ‘neath the crimson sky.

[Chorus]
Oh, the empire falls, hear the thunder’s call,
From the temple steps to the marketplace wall,
History turns, as the old ways die,
On August 13th, ‘neath the burning sky.

[Verse 2]
Canoes in the water, smoke in the air,
Warriors fighting with a desperate prayer,
Steel met stone, and the silence grew,
A city’s heart torn in two.

[Chorus]
Oh, the empire falls, hear the thunder’s call,
From the temple steps to the marketplace wall,
History turns, as the old ways die,
On August 13th, ‘neath the burning sky.

[Outro]
Drums still echo in the night,
Torches fade with morning light,
From ashes new stories will rise,
Beneath the same old sky.
