Night follows day
Day follows night
Light with your smile
All in the dark
Those who can never find you
Try to make it not worthwhile
Fight them as indeed they'll fight you
Can you save me tonight?
Fear not the worst
Fret not tonight
Save all your strength
Save my life!
For those who could never hunt you
Still try to ruin your day
Fight them as indeed they'll fight you
And punish them inflicting pain
Natural stranger
Everyday saviour
Dance with their eyes
Set them alight
Go hard on them
Stay alive!
Save all your strength
Save my life!

En este trecho triste y gris
busco perderme, pateando en soledad
Sin rumbo fijo hacia adelante
y sin darme cuenta me encontré con nuestro antiguo bar
Puente tendido para encontrarnos
en un espacio distinto
A salvo del tiempo ordinario
tan teñido de dolor.
Humedad en el ambiente
Yo te observo sin que me veas
Y la amargura aflora en mis entrañas
Con la certeza que ya no habrá un mañana
Te envolvías en tu antiguo y oscuro gabán
con esa misma mano arrugada
Tu mirada vacilante y vacía
y tu rostro ensombrecido
Entreverado en viejos reproches
es este nuestro último café
Sin perdón y sin olvido
Tus palabras saben a musgo y perdieron sentido
Así tan de cerca me desconsuelan
nuestros tiempos perdidos
Y te hablo muy suavemente
para que puedas seguir soñando
Escuchando el murmullo
del aire estancado
mas el polvo va tiñendo todo en blanco y frío
Son imágenes tejidas en libre albedrío
Pero ahora, si es que puedo decir ahora
en este tiempo sin edad y sin memoria
Debo aceptar la derrota que cada uno habita
en su lado de una misma realidad

1. Peaceful blades
So long ago there was a road,
A driven path, a sterling home
To walk away when things were wrong,
A silver light does grow.
A stone is thrown, the river’s cold
The greener grass is what I own
Now everything will turn to gold
As soon as I am gone.
2. Crumbling down
I know tonight I’m all alone,
The waterfalls start to show.
The atmosphere is getting cold
Don’t draw away from me my love.
Don’t want tonight to be the last time
I can stand and look you in the eye.
Don’t want tonight to be the last time
All the skyline is driven out of sight.
A sparkling mirage sets the tone,
A foggy cloud amidst the fog.
The incantations of the old,
A shining mirror gets me wrong.

Es una mentira
imagen vacía
No te ilumina,
es viral
Y todos lo miran
Ya te contamina
muy falto de vida
es virtual
En su paso fugaz
todos ya le darán
valor a lo irreal
calamidad
Falta contenido
es todo muy frío
no tiene sentido
efímero
En su paso fugaz
todos ya le darán
valor a lo irreal
calamidad
Pantallas que no dan
respuestas ni paz
son aguas de un mar
de oscuridad
Lejos de lo que amás
Lejos de la verdad
Lejos de lo que da
seguridad
Lejos de tu pasión
Lejos de tu ilusión
Lejos ya vas a estar...
No es tan fácil detenerse
y observar qué está fallando
Afuera o no, seamos parte o no
la hipocresía está al mando.
Como esclavos de que nos vean
queremos ser...

Punishment...?

My mistake was far too great
I will never set it straight
Now I come to realise
I have crossed the line.
Once a man, alone in bed
Thought a plot to regain his fate
Took some lives, repented twice
Careful strokes of a careless life.
Ever-lasting is my pain
No more bars, no jail again
There’s a smoke over my eyes
Blood of victims rise.
Carefully I drive again
Through the fields of immortal pain,
I will spill over my eyes
The redemption of many souls in fright.

Lullaby

Sleep,
oh my child, go where you'll feel
never ending warmth and breeze
rest your head and dream.
Take me with you, sailing by
islands where the water's dry.
We will find the way to fall
down for ever more.
Sleep,
oh my child, go where you'll feel
sense of pleasure and release
take your time to breathe.
I will be beside you
when you fly
And then together
we shall land.

Glory Row Again

I don’t wanna be in Hollywood
I just wanna be in my ‘hood
Feeling fine and smelling the food
That my mama cooks in the wood
And I don’t wanna see Hollywood
I am much too good for those fools
I will keep on feeding the poor
‘Till I find there’s nothing to do
I would like to see Glory Row
People tell me it’s the real turf
Nothing will distract me for sure
‘Cause I’ll keep on getting the mood
In Glory Row the streetlights do glow
In Glory Row
In Glory Row the wind is so pure
In Glory Row
I don’t wanna be in Hollywood
No one will distract me with lure
Everybody saying it’s good
Even if they don’t know for sure
Now, this is the truth
All the while it’s up to you
Come and be part of the show
Walking down on Glory Row
I don’t wanna be in Hollywood
I just wanna be in my ‘hood
In Glory Row the street lights do glow
In Glory Row
In Glory Row the wind is so pure
In Glory Row
In Glory Row my life is so good
In Glory Row
In Glory Row there’s no room for you
In Glory Row
