Angol is a commune and capital city of the Malleco Province in the Araucanía Region of southern Chile. It is located at the foot of the Nahuelbuta Range and next to the Vergara River, that permitted communications by small boats to the Bío-Bío River and Concepción. This strategic position explains the successive foundations of this city during the Arauco War. It was first founded in 1553 as a "conquistador" fort of Confines, the fort was later destroyed and rebuilt several times and it was not until the Pacification of Araucania in late 19th century that it was rebuilt with the name of Angol. The city has a current population of approximately 49,000. Within the electoral divisions of Chile, it belongs to the 48th electoral district and the 14th senatorial circumscription.
Modern Angol was first founded in 1553 as the conquistador fort of Los Confines by Pedro de Valdivia, the fort was later that year abandoned and destroyed by the Mapuche after the Battle of Tucapel. In 1560, the city was established by Governor García Hurtado de Mendoza with the name of San Andrés de Angol, after his father the viceroy of Peru, the location to the north of the site of the old fort. It was commonly called Ciudad de Los Infantes for the infantrymen that had been assigned to build the city.
Even now in heaven there were angels carrying savage weapons
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Run, run, run
But you sure can't hide
Does our ruin benefit to earth?
Does it help the grass to grow?
The sun to shine?
Is this darkness in you too?
Have you'd passed through this night?
Run, run, run
But you sure can't hide
Where you're going you're not coming back from
Run, run, run
But you sure can't hide
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Run, run, run
But you sure can't hide
This great evil
Where's it come from?
Had still the end of the world?
Who's doing this?
Who's killing us?
Mocking us with the sight of what we might have known
Run, run, run
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Run, run, run
But you sure can't hide
Are you righteous?
Kind?
Does your confidence lie in this?
Are you loved by all?
Do you imagine your suffering will be any less
because you loved goodness and truth?
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
Run, run, run
But you sure can't hide
