Percy Fawcett
He was born in a house in Torquay
Commissioned with the royal artillery
A novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Was inspired by Percy on the Amazon soil
El Dorado the lost city of Z
An obsession always in his head
The Amazon forest a living hell
Percy Fawcett the explorer knew it so well
The horror of the great war he would see
He was an officer of the artillery
And the horrors of the jungle were just as bad
The Amazon could drive the bravest men mad
El Dorado the lost city of Z
An obsession always in his head
The Amazon forest a living hell
Percy Fawcett the explorer knew it so well
So strange to think he was born here
I had wondered where and it was so near
A shame that Devonia Villa has gone
The sight of Shirley Towers feels so wrong
El Dorado the lost city of Z
An obsession always in his head
The Amazon forest a living hell
Percy Fawcett the explorer knew it so well
Commissioned with the royal artillery
A novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Was inspired by Percy on the Amazon soil
El Dorado the lost city of Z
An obsession always in his head
The Amazon forest a living hell
Percy Fawcett the explorer knew it so well
The horror of the great war he would see
He was an officer of the artillery
And the horrors of the jungle were just as bad
The Amazon could drive the bravest men mad
El Dorado the lost city of Z
An obsession always in his head
The Amazon forest a living hell
Percy Fawcett the explorer knew it so well
So strange to think he was born here
I had wondered where and it was so near
A shame that Devonia Villa has gone
The sight of Shirley Towers feels so wrong
El Dorado the lost city of Z
An obsession always in his head
The Amazon forest a living hell
Percy Fawcett the explorer knew it so well
