"The Pope Is Dead"

(1st Verse)
From the sreets of Buenos Aires, a young boy dreamed, 
Worked the door, mixed the potions, fought the fevered screams. 
In the shadow of sickness, his faith took flight, 
To serve the Maker, the church, to be a candle in the night.

(Chorus – English) 
The Pope is dead, but the spirit stays, 
Through broken dreams and the burning faith. 
Tradition's hand and reformer's tread, 
Now silence reigns — the Pope is dead.

(2nd Verse – Spanish) 
Desde joven, fue un siervo fiel, 
del suelo pobre al altar del cielo. 
Diez años de fuego, luego sacerdote, 
Treinta más, un cardenal en duelo. 
Francisco eligió, la cruz abrazó, 
En tiempos de hierro su voz alzó.

(Chorus ) 

The Pope is dead, but the spirit stays, 
Through broken dreams and the burning faith. 
Tradition's hand and reformer's tread, 
Now silence reigns — the Pope is dead.

(3rd Verse ) 
His heart beat cautious in a world gone blind, 
Saw the left grow rotten and the right grow wild. 
Old ghosts returned with their iron jaws, As freedom fell to broken laws. 
Now in marble halls they fight and plead, The war of words, the war of creeds.

(Final Chorus) 
The Pope is dead, but the battle roars, 
Through shattered hopes and closing doors. 
Tradition's hand and reformer's tread, 
The soul lives on — though the Pope is dead.
