I lost my right hand trying to be someone
And I’m nothing but a grain of dust
Struggling to be real in this dystopia.
Money’s burning out the people´s eyes.
In the night another story is left untold
While a sandstorm takes our dreams away.

Stories to be told
Treasures to be taken
In Baghdad 

Thieves and merchants bargain over our lives.
In the name of Money they destroy.
Brought a great machine to drain our blood
While in veils they give us swords and stones
Kill a brother, slay him, he is the enemy.
Let the sandstorm claim this barren land. 

Stories to be told
Treasures to be taken
In Baghdad 

In Baghdad from the underground.
Every day we live is dry and dead.

Baghdad from the Underground

I´m Nothing

Wouldn’t it be nice to live forever,
And have a drink with all your friends
And laugh aloud?
 
Watch a sci fi movie on your couch 
And fall asleep
while all the aliens come to earth?

Wouldn’t it be nice to play those records,
That you bought
When your hair was long and black?

Blow the dust of your guitar
And play the tune you love the most
The song remains, remains the same.

Everybody wants to live forever.
It’s too soon to ascend.
Everybody wants to live forever.
It’s too soon to ascend.

Wouldn’t it be nice to never hurt
Someone you love, or to be hurt 
And have regrets for all your life?

Make amends with the lady of the past
And have an ice cream in the park
To see the sunset in her eyes?

Everybody wants to live forever.
It’s too soon to ascend.
Everybody wants to live forever.
It’s too soon to ascend.
Everybody wants to live forever.
It’s too soon to ascend.
Everybody wants to live forever.
It’s too soon to ascend.

Love Forever (Ascend)

Clouds of dirt surround the city.
Happy faces  to disguise the news.
Everywhere people bow their heads
Without knowing
Who to obey.
Who to kneel to   
Who to praise

In this era of plastic smiles
Negativity reveals the truth.
Beliefs are the weapons of the liars
And the shackles of the rest.
Of the left behind.

Neon signs are brighter than stars.
Mannequins are fitter to be loved.
Poisoned water has a sweeter taste
And the screams of thousands are just white noise.
 
Neon lights are brighter than stars…

Sunset of Promisses

The City

Wake me up. I’m still breathing.
This nothingness, cracks my skin and my will.
Another day, I see no clouds. I have no hope.
I die and yet I live. I don´t know what to feel.
This numbness aches, covers me grain by grain.
What people say, is nothing but white noise.  
I cannot sleep your mumbles pierce my ears.
I have no say, the cutting wind decides my faith.  

I miss the rainy days.
The flowers bloomed             x4
The trees were green.

Wake me up. I´m still breathing.
I order you to come.
I am thirsty.
Please…
I cannot even weep.
I die and yet I live. I don´t know if I feel.
The present’s dry / I fear the future too.

La lluvia no llega

It’s a shame
They have taken the sky.
It’s our fault.
We weren´t able to rise

ohh
ohhhhh

Peaceful anguish in our hearts,
Calm is made of  resignation

Clouds of dirt
This is what we deserve
Our minds were sedated and grey
The stars will never shine again.

Clouds of Dirt

No hay nada allá afuera
que me haga querer más.
Aunque las alarmas suenan
no me puedo levantar.
Los segundos son muy largos
y no dejo de pensar.
Este ruido blanco
envuelve todo lo demás
