Looking for direction , the mighty Amazon

Only one ambition , to find the precious stone

When I was a boy it was a vision

Now it all just seems like deja-vu

Maybe it was all a premonition

Searchin' for treasure in the land of Peru , ooh



Diamonds ( diamonds) up , down , in and out of the Amazon

Diamonds ( diamonds) , he won't stop , the kid goes on and on



Saw the holy temple , a man was on his knees

Sacrificion ceremony , the Gods they wanna please , oh

Then the people shouted with emotion

Try to scale the giant pyramid

Following the writing on the sandstone

(saying the stone was in the room of the dead) oh no no no



Diamonds (diamonds) up , down , in and out of the Amazon

Diamonds (diamonds) he won't stop , the kid goes on and on



Oh burning with fever , I'm dying of hunger

I'm searching all night , searching all night , all night



(break)



Then I jumped and run into the jungle

The solid ground gave way beneath my feet

Fallen inside an icy tomb forever

(the rock he was after is now out of reach)



Diamonds (diamonds) up , down , in and out the Amazon

Diamonds (diamonds) he won't stop , the kid goes on and on

Diamonds (diamonds) up , down , in and out the Amazon

Diamonds (diamonds) he won't stop , the kid goes on and on

Diamonds (diamonds) up , down , in and out of the Amazon

Diamonds (diamonds) he won't stop , the kid goes on and on (fade)
