Vanity´s bonfire
Every drop of freedom
comes with it´s bloody charge,
for those who in power extends the hands,
always have the hidden lines
on this perverse social life.
We are the destructive scourge.
The implacable shadows,
that extends with malice and clumsiness,
over everything that is alive.
And even so dreams.
And even so creates,
with desperate devotion,
and though it´s glow hath raised
a ferear flame,
that from it´s shadows claim.
That from it´s shadows claim!
Cuánto saber sacrificaremos esta véz,
en ésta nuestra hoguera de las vanidades.
The parody of life...
Imposed terrors.
Imposed dreams.
Vanity´s bonfire.

The Archaic Censorship Of Your Eyes
Lazy and savage falls,
over my shoulders falls,
the archaic censorship of your eyes.
Eyes that immolate themselves for the lies
of the unique thought.
And violently deny,
the truths of others eyes.
Melancholy...
Forgotten ideas, lacerated knowladge
by ignorance´s contempt.
By ignorance´s contempt.
El conformismo deviene en decadencia,
complicidad,
desidia.
By ignorance´s contempt...
Blackout without questioning.
Blackout without questioning,
towards the wounded heart.
Towards the wounded heart.

Creators Of Shadows
Exalted lies come and go,
to our ears come and go.
Before our eyes dance.
Seems to fly,
seducing the one who fears to think
Devouring the existence of men,
that trapped in it´s net,
no longer wants to fight.
No longer wants to fight.
Creando sombras
mentes infames elaboran,
las mentiras,
a las que llamamos verdades.
Creators of shadows,
in this present full of absurdities,
selective ears,
cut-out thoughts.

Dogma; The Infamy Of Fire
Against individuals.
Against realization.
The infamy of Dogma.
Guilt and forgiveness...
Sublimated spirits.
Tamed dreams and suffering by fear.
The infamy of fire,
and the subordination of those,
who bring the fire...
El destierro de la rebeldía,
ridiculiza las utopías.
The banishment of rebellion,
the emptiness,
that its exile leave us,
has no consolation.

Lux et Umbra
In this abyss full of beatiful infamies
we are the worst of all
that we could be.
A snare in every human path.
Lux et Umbra
El poder y la miseria yacen encadenados.
A beam of light crosses the air spaces,
and in its ephemeral projection,
it´s trail of specks of dust,
burn the arrogant sights
of the knowledge of men.
The darness of this world
endless mixes its shadows,
in the very core of reason,
in the very core of passion.
Lux et umbra.

Illusion Of Freedom

Illusion Of Freedom
The banality of everything shared,
transform the dreams,
in desperate attempts to self-convince
that life deserves to be live.
Existence´s sad truth,
the pain that nobody cares,
the cry that nobody hears.
Illusion of freedom.
Escondidos tras ansiadas libertades,
se encuentran el yugo y las cadenas.
And even so,
this brave spirit of mine,
persistent en it´s looking for beauty,
even in dark corners
and full of dead thing.
Reality and illusion of freedom
had mixed it´s shades
with the shadows of my existence.

Handling Cognitive Factor
Hunting eyes are following
the traces we leave,
by curiosity and need,
with the innocence and unconcern,
of those who have nothing to hide.
Hunting eyes...
Knowledge is the weapon,
the dagger in the heart of submission.
Knowledge still submit
to the interest of few.
For the rest, confusion.
For the rest, common sense,
overwhelmed with information
mix with lies and hate.
Mix with lies and hate.
El conocimeinto es el arma,
el puñal en el corazón del sometimiento.
Knowledge is the weapon,
the dagger in the heart of submission.
Knowledge still submit
to the interest of few. Big Data!
Knowledge is the weapon,
the dagger in the heart of submission.

Out Of The Blue Comes The New Plague
In this world of suggested depressions,
chemistry becames the cell,
from which only few can escape.
Suddenly no one seems to be strong enough
to hold his own cry.
Doctrine:
words must be from power and manhood,
to be heard,
to be believed.
Enfermedades programadas,
depresiones inducidas,
melancolías perpétuas.
Out from the blue, comes the new plague,
from which we already have,
a lifetime treatment.
Chemical conspiracy...
