Nightmare of the Gun
Music and Lyrics by Isabel Guzman

I will sing a song about a gun that wasn't supposed to be given
To a woman who never knew this gun was just the beginning
of a nightmare to her living days... And the mess she’d have to face!
The night before her husband told her:
"My love, tomorrow you'll receive a package, please be aware..."
She said: "Of course my darling, but what's the nature of this package and tell me where... should I wait for it"
He didn't really give her a logical explanation,
so she became uncertain by the oddness of his behavior
the problem was that she’d lately noticed in him some tension,
she pretended not to worry about his suspici ous endeavors...
Well... The day of the arrival did come.
She tried to shake those bad feelings, but she still had some...
The minute she heard the doorbell, she felt something didn't go well... She opened the door, but suddenly, no one was there!
She looked right down and then picked up
the so-called package and then she thought: " What if I open this?"
Twenty minutes passed before she realized the gun was in her hand and she could barely understand why she opened that package, now she's troubled with a gun! She sought reasons but got none...
Right after this overwhelming feeling she found a note with her husband’s handwriting, and this is what he wrote: "Forgive me darling, if you're reading this it means I won't be coming back to you...
This gun was destined for me, but now I leave it to you
I love you... Pull the trigger if you need to."
She didn't even have the chance to take a glance,
Before she heard some noise, her stomach dropped
then rose the gun because she had no choice
Then, surrounded by strangers she found herself in danger
They screamed at her: " Just surrender!"
Her husband was gone and no one could save her
She needed to find the truth about her husband and where he went She thought: "What if I start to shoot to all these men?...
I will save my life with his gun!"...
So she pulled the trigger several times and then she ran!
She ran to save her life, and oh...
The nightmare of the gun has now beGun!

Incidental
Punzadas en mi cabeza son tus palabras aunque no quiera
Ayer te dije: No ir hacia atrás, no hay freno, no dudés más
Lo que viste hoy mañana... Frente a tus ojos se repetirá
Te ofrecen mar, cielo y tierra.. El corazón de otro en bandeja de plata
Pero insistís cuando esta sociedad de mierda nos consumirá,
lo que viste hoy mañana frente a tus ojos se repetirá

Acaso vas a aguantar hasta el final, cruzado de brazos
El quedarte en la espera a que algo pronto te suceda
no es la realidad.

Parecés tan inseguro, tus miedos ya tienen dueño y te juro
que el hecho de haber pagado mordidas de nada te funcionará
Lo que viste hoy mañana frente a tus ojos se repetirá. 
El temor mañana quedará,
mañana sobrará,
mañana surgirá...

Acaso vas a aguantar hasta el final, cruzado de brazos
El quedarte en la espera a que algo pronto te suceda
no es la realidad. (x2)

El temor mañana quedará,
mañana sobrará,
mañana surgirá..
