01/// WHAT DOESN’T KILL US…  [up]

(Martínez / Rocha)

 

02/// … MAKES US STRONGER [up]

(M: Millán / L: Millán, Rocha)

 

Overwhelming pile of doubts ‘round my head

Barbed-wire scarf too tight on my neck

Running barefoot in a field of broken glass

Along the coldest river I swim against the tide

 

Working hard, the best I can, but that is not enough

Eaten up with anger and things you can’t control

Everything is telling me I’m in the wrong direction

But I’m not like the ones who yield to awkward situations

 

Clench your fist and show your teeth

We won’t give in, we still resist

 

You hit us once... you hit us twice

We can bleed, but we don’t change our minds

If you’re going through hell, just keep going

What doesn’t kill us... makes us stronger!

 

I can hear the children of the fascists

Instructing me in democracy

On the other side, betrayers selling out

They stole our parents’ dreams

 

You so-called our politics, you’re not representing me

Wasting all our time discussing ‘bout frontiers

Hard times for everyone but it could be even worse

Lucky to be born in the First-fucking-World

 

The same ol’ shit on my TV

Hypocrisy it’s all I see

 

You hit us once... you hit us twice

We can bleed, but we don’t change our minds

You should know, as we get older

What doesn’t kill us... makes us stronger!

 

Sometimes you don’t know where you are

Caught in the middle of your life

You hold your breath with all your might

Under a storm of sharpened knives

 

Solo: Vendido Maroto

 

You hit us once... you hit us twice

We can bleed, but we don’t change our minds

My hopes and bones are almost broken

What doesn’t kill us...

Makes us stronger!

 

03/// WINNERS RACE [up]

(M: García / L: García, Rocha)

 

Ready, steady... go!!!

 

“Come along, children!

Have a good time with this race!

Where the first prize is a shattered life!”

 

Get rid of your innocence

And now you’re ready for success

Your bloody parents will be proud

 If you take part in this event

 

Enjoy a golf game with your brand new friends

Where no one cares if you can’t play

See a fashion rock show, be a rebel for a day

Change your expensive suit for a Rolling Stones t-shirt

 

Just walk the road they set for you

Beware of getting lost

In the Winners Race

You are the number one

Men’s envy, high-class whores

Pats on the back and high-class drugs

You hold yourself in high esteem

But not so far is your fall

 

You have no time to lose

This is an offer you can’t refuse

If you crush each other,

You must have good values

 

Passing all the pricks at full speed

Reflection of your personality

You don’t get along with anybody

It’s something that you can’t conceive

Treading on the others to make it to the top in the firm

 

Just walk the road they set for you…

 

Your pretty girl is just for show

Does she really start you up?

Who cares?

She’s the perfect daughter-in-law

 

Solo 1: Miguel

Solo 2: Dani

 

Just walk the road they set for you…

 

Can’t stand the loneliness

There’s nobody by your side

Those little things you miss now

Never again in your life

 

You wanna burn your land cruiser

You don’t give a shit ‘bout your loot

Your artificial family

Expected nothin’ but welfare from you

 

04/// DECADE [up]

(M & L: Rocha)

 

Face down in the mud

It’s not the first time, sure won’t be the last

Stand the fuck up once again 

And there’s nothin’ more to say

 

Gathering my teeth up off the floor

I spit out the blood, I’m coming back for more… yeah

I have kissed the hard cold ground a thousand times before

 

Lead fill: Joey

 

The fire remains intact

We can feel it burn inside

Fan the flame and keep it up!

 

All the sweat & sacrifice is just a matter of pride

I just want to stand right here for all my goddamn life

It’s hard to walk this road

But I sure know it’s worth fighting for

 

Back in ‘98, when we were born

We were determined to bang down every fuckin’ door

As years go by, we came across the thickest walls

Yes, we kick’em harder ‘cos we have not had enough

 

We are the ones who have the right to say how hard it is

We have gone through shit

But it’s the price for livin’ on a will

 

The fire remains intact…

 

All the sweat & sacrifice…

 

Solo 1: Miguel

Solo 2: Ber

 

All the sweat & sacrifice is just a matter of pride

I just want to stand right here for all my goddamn life

I just want to stand right here

Never thought of givin’ up

I just want to shout it loud and clear

 

05/// IN THE NAME OF (      ) [up]

(M & L: Rocha)

 

Solo: Dani

 

Oh, say can you see

By the dawn’s early light

We, Defenders of the Earth

For Liberty we have to fight

 

I pledge allegiance to my guns

And my justice ain’t for all

We build the Empire, full of pride

We got The Almighty on our side, yeah!

 

In the name of (      )

All in Thy name

 

Non-believers be prepared

We bring the hell upon your race

This is the Book, guidance sure

Slay you all in Holy War

 

We teach our people how to die

They will rest in paradise

Shed our blood for The Mission

Beat the world into submission

 

In the name of (      )

All in Thy name

 

You and I know we could live in peace

Despite our different minds

Tell me you don’t want to see

Your children playing free with mine

 

Solo: Miguel

 

In the name of (      )

 

06/// CROSS OF SHAME [up]

(M: Millán / L: Millán, Rocha)

 

The gods in man's form have descended on our lands

We received them with arms wide open and offering our wealth

And without provocation they took all our possessions

With the benediction of their kings, in the name of a god and a nation

 

How dare you judge me as a savage?

I adore the Sun, the Rain and the Stars that guide my way

Use my blood to wash away the white man’s sins

I won’t reject my beliefs for two crossed woods that mean nothing to me

 

Our paradise has turned to hell

No mercy, no justice

Under The Cross of Shame

Black Legend spreads like disease

Murder and death walk everywhere

Under the shadow of The Cross of Shame

 

Solo split in four sections:

1st and 3rd: Miguel

2nd and 4th: Dani

 

The convicts of your bulging prisons stand out in our fields

You razed our culture to the ground; you changed our gold into misery

 

An empire built with greed and pride

Converting by fire and sword

In the New World heads are rolling

While in Europe people burn!

 

07/// INNER ENEMY [up]

(M & L: Millán)

 

Into the void I am

The conspiracy of my mind is taking control

I´m losing the fight, I can’t breathe, no ask for mercy

Life is passing me by

Loneliness is taking me to darkness

You’re watching me from above

As I’m sinking in these quicksand

Will you throw me a rope?

 

It seems that I’m falling deep

Into the twilight of my life

I’m just a shadow of what I used to be

Man, it’s hard to carry on like this

When sadness keeps on devouring me

 

I am my Inner Enemy

The only one I can’t defeat

My deadly foe, my archenemy

All the time it’s me versus me

I am my Inner Enemy

The only one I can’t defeat

 

In my nightmares I always lose

 

Now I’m back on the road again

Too many miles of sorrow under my wheels

Hours become days as they turn blue to gray

I don’t have the right to complain

‘Cos this is the path that I’ve chosen

Always feeling selfish because I’ve got it all

Trapped in a circle of melancholy

And I can’t take no more

 

You are the only one that will never disappoint me

The only one that will never leave me

Guide me through this sea of sadness

I’ve always known you’re my true love

 

I am my Inner Enemy…

 

Don’t you hear my call?

I’m helpless

If I ever meant anything for you

Please, heal me!

 

08/// SEEDS OF HATE [up]

(M: Millán / L: Millán, Rocha)

 

I don’t know how it begun

Were you an insecure boy?

Did the other children treat you like a broken toy?

You saw the force in them

And all your fear became hate

Blaming everyone, the easy way

 

In hell a madman smiles

His crop is feeding mankind

 

All of us feel the fear sometimes

Bearing the rage inside

I can´t conceive what’s wrong with you

What the hell are you trying to prove?

Sowing the seeds of hate

Seeds of hate

 

You show emblems you don’t understand

You cover your face and skin

I believe your soul is rotten and mean

Alone you have no guts

Without your legion of clones

You’re nothin’ but the Dead Man’s puppet

 

In hell…

 

All of us…

 

Solo 1: Dani

Solo 2: Miguel

 

All of us…

 

Hate!!!

 

09/// THE HOLE  [up]

(M & L: Rocha)

 

The straw that breaks the camel’s back

Blood stains on broken glass

Primal reactions I can’t repress

Refresh the demon again and again and again...

 

Down in the basement I shut my wrath away

But there’s no more room in this rusty cage

Like a pressure cooker where my air is getting thin

The air is getting thin

 

Storming around the place

Gritting teeth, cursing under my breath

I feel better if I hurt myself

I’m still searching for the hole

Where all my anger began to flow

It’s an ugly trip inside

I’m afraid… I know just what I’ll find

 

There’s something here that isn’t right

I don’t wanna hurt you

I don’t want to see you cry

Hidden in a corner, my hands cover my face

I must admit that I need help

 

Down in the basement…

 

Storming around the place

 

Solo 1: Joey

Solo 2: Miguel

 

Angry for this, angry for that

I am done for, there’s no turning back

In my mouth a bitter taste

Molotov cocktails to quench my thirst

 

10/// A LAST ADVICE [up]

(M: Rocha, García, Martínez / L: Rocha)

 

Be careful…

Because the hole leads you to the place

Where the fear begets the rage

You must break this vicious circle at some point,

Or you will be forever enslaved

In a spiral without beginning

And without end
