they came for juan gonzalez in the night
they surrounded the village at dusk
they came with their guns
they came with their ropes
they came with their dogs
they waited for nightfall and they entered the village
juan gonzalez was not afraid
he had never been afraid
he had taught the people not to be afraid
not to be afraid for him
and not to be afraid for themselves
when they came
with their guns and their dogs
juan gonzalez was ready for them
he was ready for them with the truth
he knew they could take him away
because they could not take the truth away
they had come for juan gonzalez before
in the places where he had told the truth
he had escaped
but this time there was no escape
juan gonzalez had been betrayed
this time they knew
they knew where to find him
they came with all their force
all their guns
all their ropes and chains
all their dogs
and their tanks
they surrounded the village
when darkness fell they began to enter the village
juan gonzalez came out to meet them
and they took him away
but they left the truth behind
they came with their guns
they came with their dogs
they came with their ropes and chains
this is how they come
this is what they do
they came for juan gonzalez
