about

I’d been reading a lot of books dealing with the subject of the US/Mexico border, migrants and immigration. Books by the likes of Luis Alberto Urrea, and Francisco Cantú, about desperate people in desperate situations, looking for a better life.

lyrics

The tired mistress
By the ocean
All the lost sisters
We held and let go

In the fading firelight
By the glowing lake
Black orchids
Tremble and shake

Chorus
Through the night
The dark horses run
Through the night
To never return
The barbed wire’s still weeping

The black orchids
Mark the trail of their tears
The black orchids
Show them the way

In the darkness of the heart
In the darkness of the heart
