Marco's shadow falls on the door
To the seven lost cities of gold
Finds a raven's head and a rattlesnake's tail
Dead in his tracks, this godforsaken soul's
Unwanted here and his curse lingers for years
Amalia's face hides behind the mask
Sweating on the TV factory line
That smile on her face is starting to crack
While welding back the pieces of shattered heart
That's scattered out here, with the ghosts of her peers
Searches for her lost child along the river of tears
The river of tears
At the end of the working week
When drunken worlds meet
Both sides keeping a close eye
For a break in the line here
On the crystal frontier
The crystal frontier
The ground is shaking and starting to crack
Can't find the pieces of the shattered heart
That's scattered out here
With the ghosts that never disappear
Searches for the lost child along the river of tears
The river of tears
Blood spills out on the streets
And bodies are missing for weeks
Both sides keeping a close eye
Watching the bullets fly here
On the crystal frontier
The crystal frontier
Ramon tightens up his leather belt
And slips through a hole in the fence
He can get you anything you want
Might cost you a life, might cost you
The whole price of freedom here
On the crystal frontier
