Us, those half-dead Lyrics: Claudio Carrasco / Music: Igor Leiva Never imagined what I’m realizing, indeed Sudden proof of cryptic face You, half-dead Thousands of fears, explains themselves As a grim puzzle The truth emerges from depths Beauty caresses gently the dead A caress given back as a ruthless pest Words sound unknown Can´t understand Dead fading colors Your skins turned ashes grey A long season in darkness One sorrow after the other No rеst for dead side arises Dеath taking over me A breeding ground to forget respect Infection progress slowly Taking control of our will Far away from me, you call my name Distance translates it as a scream Us, those half-dead Breed at the bottom of our disgrace

There used to be home A fair deal of some sort Absolute world, a secure world The cub now feels strong He escapes to see the storms Absolute world, now a bleak world Without Roots, without shelters No fears but the fear of freedom´s void Building on this air, a card castle Built only to witness its collapse Without roots, without gods Just clear vision A constant walk along a ledge At last line, a dead end Feet on dark mind The free soul dwells in vertigo A material legacy we left behind our steps Lifeless, usеless Behold the absеnce becoming flesh He old air inside my empty home Dust and silence Will feed the ghost of memories gone A doomed attempt to say forever In mortal men´s domain Dragging the dead weight of time The hangman in disguise Collecting, acquiring, storing A dream of transcendence that expired Collecting, acquiring, storing A stream of debris we call life

Running away alone Running away Wandering here not knowing why Gift of life wrapped into fire A fugitive from a black realm runs Singing a closing credits song Get the best of this short trip Holding landscapes, holding dreams Night falls, the countdown runs Night dawns, a small loss unnoticed A day to remind, or a day just to forget? The better the memories The fewer the time that´s left Time hurts, the hours kill Time runs, at thieves grabbing life bits Tomorrow will come Tomorrow will bring us death The fugitive is caught, the curtain falls End of play

…Almas de ayer, cantan aquí Viajeros Corriendo contra un tiempo escaso De paso por la eternidad Otoño De calendarios obsoletos La vida fugaz Almas de ayer, cantan aquí En lava y en temblor Mares de ayer, desierto sin fin De piedra, silencio y Sol Herencia de extinción Inquilinos al pasar Efímero invasor La montaña observará Vida que viene y se va El comienzo y el final Glaciares Testigos de generaciones inquilinas Aguas dе lo ancestral Milenios Segundos dе un reloj perpetuo La carne y su levedad …sangre que viene y se va Las historias Los retazos desde el tiempo del olvido Gris memoria de exiliados Por el viento esparcidos La piedra observa imperios al nacer Guerras vomitar sangre de fe La piedra escucha imperios crepitar Ruinas sin edad

The last days of summer Through storms and distress Blind of the frailty Drifted out of place The logic of carbon The fate of living things close A grip to reality I never asked for Then this old superhero Became a little wounded bird The path we all follow Crumbling down before my eyes So calm yet so bitter Attachment with nature Fading light sparkles Still unexplained Flesh shelters life Flesh shelters sickness Thе answers lost into cold White labyrinth talk Life is a runaway From shеlters and from prisons Encounters and loss draw This complex map of time

All the freedom we want He strives to make it impossible And as we try to see colours He systematically stains everything black A vicious circle that consumes life As time runs fast, existence spills from our hands Relentless process that never ends Driving us to lose control of our lives Feel the doom, embrace the antagonism Fake freedom is our opium and death Failure by failure, we feel them as steps The old opponent knows and profits from them The hеaler who provides the curе Smiles in the darkness while the disease is born We bear everyday, the weight of the engine A crippled system that swallows life Paying with blood, the price of existence And the right to live our own agony An infant painfully learning the rules Hope slowly fades within a young naive soul The puppet tracing plans for his route Becomes the old man dying alone and poor And as we try to open our eyes Omniscient opponent kills the light

The Shepherd guides his flock Through a holy path marked with blood Driving them to a carnage yet unknown Procession marches to the cliff A cliff bathed by souls One by one lambs fall into the void An old lie teaching for centuries Sustaining a perpetual profit of souls Loved unconditionally until their death Then after death, God devours his sons Repeating the word of the lord Blessed lambs on their way to heaven Then they realize salvation turns into free fall All their bеliefs Vanish as they fall Everything turns into cold horror A sеa of the dead, known as heaven Ruled by a beast called Father As souls are drowned into the depths A morbid grin is drawn on his face For a lifetime I was fooled into his good will Now I'm falling Without his fake mercy As I'm drowning, water dissolves faith All the answers turn into childhood fears And I realize nobody ever supported my way I'm astray, forgotten in this ocean... Of misery and death I wasted life, to feed the father's vicious hunger He never wanted To welcome us in his reign Used us to procreate And nourish the make-believe fiend

Again it will begin This joy I will let in A stranger is now welcome These sparkling lights drowning me No boundaries to see Just unknown faces A deafening noise perpetuates So many voices claim And these walls of ice rise inside me From this place, the electric maze Is all the world I've seen Just a movie on my screen A thousand words, the elusive world A landscape without soul; So synthetic, so absurd Lost in the endless flow Silicon dreams remain Reality starts to fadе Lost in the endless flow Silicon nightmarеs Everything is so unreal So lonely in the crowd The scream I once heard loud Seems like a whisper now My message lost, unheard, astray My mind speaks by mistake To unknown faces No one to see, no one to touch Nobody cared too much When these walls of ice Grew inside me From this place This empty space This only world for me Just come here and taste how To Exist – to disappear To feel – or just to pretend To love and to betray Are such different parts Of the same game

A cold dawn of autumn And the blood announces the worst As the deepest sorrow comes We begin to ride... on death's horse The woods seem to hold our room Covering the light inside the womb The ten percent begins to be true The standards abandoned us She discovered our paradise Turned it into pale void Our love this time is not enough Our faith is useless So please take care of our little blood Oh earth and watеr... Nowadays we follow The doctrine of thе hidden mourning As an internal deep wound Pain is dressed as fake joy Everyone seems to enjoy their luck While we drown in a lake of loss The ten percent begins to be true The standards abandoned us She discovered our paradise Turned it into pale void Our love this time is not enough Our faith is useless So please take care of our little blood Oh earth and water... Statistics against dreams They mock tragedy Life... You betrayed us Time... Could you cure us? Blood... Come back to us Probability rules the earth... It Rules death
