So cold is the skin that i've been running from
To explode from within without any control

I'm stealing your warmth with every kiss i fake
Brand new tally mark i'm adding to my list

While searching for my soul I found that any could be mine
So why just have this one?
Do you believe in love, like i believe in God?
Keep crying while i run away

I look like a hawk, but that ain't what i am
From sparrows i've learned to fly and break apart

The monster in me
Has doubled its size while you were gone
Let's hope that it's ready to forgive

While searching for my soul I found that any could be mine
So why just have this one?
Do you believe in love, like i believe in God?
Keep crawling while i run away

I don't know the price for my mistakes cause i won't yield
Don't teach me wrong from right
This isn't the time or place to show you i believe in love
Just take your clothes and fade away

While searching for my soul I found that any could be mine
So why just have this one?
‘cause you believe in love, like I believe in God
Keep crying while i run away

Tally marks & Sparrows

Leaning forward
Believe in forcing the faith
An emptiness you've kept fed
The fragile truth to be claimed
Hypocrisies all around us
Their rules and plans are opposed
Imposing cult of the cruel

And today, we pray in awe
Today, we pray for more
Today, we pray for love
Today, we pray for war

Heard them all
So many lies had been said
To sheep that doesn't know better
Their ignorance and its bliss, it’s what they embrace

And today, we stand in awe
Today, obey their lord
Today, we crave his love
Today, we go to war

Lost in my mind
i'm naked, i'm broken
tears for that life
i'm losing, stolen

where is now what i've loved?
where is now what i've cared for the most?
Is there anything meant to last, in the end?

everything falls apart, in my mind
swimming this emptiness
is getting hard, so dark... it's killing me

existing, not living
just dreaming, in this everlasting void
now caring, is killing
i'm drowning, so far away from shore

the muzzle is loose
i'm feeling, i'm starving
the hero has lost
it's useless, i've fallen

there is nothing left to prove
there is nothing left to give
the reasons i used to have, ain't there, i quit

going back through time, re birthing all my life

existing, not living
just dreaming, in this everlasting void
now caring, is killing
confusing right from wrong

the future is out, come back now and save me
from the darkness of my mind
the black side of my soul is opened so tempting
everything falls apart in my mind

In My Mind

Preachers seeking power in the masses
Liars with excuses as their assets
Masters for the puppets of all classes
They'll deny they're crows

Hiding in the blind spot of believers 
Biting every hand that ever fed them
Laughing when you call them all deceivers
Every time you fall

this tank is full of sharks, waiting for your blood
smiling back at you while no one cares

With bullets they moralize
With battles they emphasize our faith
With murder they justify
With death they prioritize their gains

Haters of the choices that you carry
Hunters of the freedom that you cherish
Forgers of the words that you're repeating
Many times before

Crawling undercover while we protest
Maggots with addiction to control us
Faggots that disguises like a prophet
Do they think we fall?

With bullets they moralize
With battles they emphasize our faith
With murder they justify that you vote,
for those swines.

Rules of engagement

They've tried to teach us love, through bad intentions,
This carnival is loud, full of deceptions.

We taste the blood and lust, with fascination,
Sweet fantasies of fame and depravation.

If you know... who you are,
Tell Death: "not today", then fight back.

Don't buy the idols they’ll shove you
Don't answer riddles thrown at you

Behind those masks they hide, from judge and jury.
With enemies like us, they'll taste the fury.

If you know... who you are,
Tell Death: "not today", then smile back

Don't buy the idols they’ll shove you
Don't answer riddles thrown at you

Lyrics: Pablo Stefanini

Carnival

With the secret of your sin
Walking dead by your side
Endless victims of your soul and sword

Buried bodies underneath
your corruption and lies
there's no pray or begging that could save you

My thirst is growing
it won't be bind
five senses fold in
sarcastic smile

One's impunity is a drug
that could explode in your face
i was in need of a clown to roast

Giving meaning to my thrill
to my new hunting skills
It's the beauty of karma that will kill you

My thirst is growing
it won't be bind
five senses fold in
sarcastic smile

Seventh Circle

All the voices that talk to you
scream in hunger for dimes and the justice is deaf
All this anger inside of you
it keeps asking for pain and the violence you choose
For the agony that you crave
Justifies your decisions of taking those lives
Every tear and the scars you made
Are forgotten when numb and the ashes are gone

Oh no, i don’t blame it on to you.

I don't blame the game or the player and,
I don't blame your history or past
I don't blame your God or religion, i'm
Tired of this, tired of you
Message delivered

All the voices that talk to me
Scream in hunger for blood and their justice ain't blind
All this anger inside of me
It keeps asking for pain and it'll be paid in kind
For the agony that you're keen
I'm the hammer that karma will smash at your trial
And every tear and the scars you made
It's a brick on the road where i'll drag you to hell

I don’t blame it on to you.

I don't blame the game or the player and,
I don't blame your history or past
I don't blame your god or religion, i'm
Tired of this, tired of you
Have this message delivered

The Omen

Are you there? Somewhere out there?
Are you crying this radio silence?
Now i remember how it feels, the detachment
Stinking feelings that I should’ve left in the shadows
Maybe you were just a stumble in my way
But now i gotta say that i really care

Isn't it supposed to be that when you leave you should be absent?
Isn't it supposed to be that when you lose you should be crying?
Isn't it supposed to be that this means that i've lost?
Or maybe i haven't. I have an order, I'll just obey

Do you feel? Are we still breathing?
Do you like it? Or you are still aching?
Now i remember how it feels, the demon inside me
Now i remember how it sounds, silent screaming in my head

Isn't it supposed to be that when you leave you should be absent?
Isn't it supposed to be that when you lose you should be crying?
Isn't it supposed to be that when you bleed you should grow stronger?
Just give the order, command me to wake

Oh, i see is not enough? But it seems it’s never enough,
Now i’m not just carving stories

Isn't it supposed to be that I should be a source of light?
Isn't it supposed to be that I should be a cure for sadness?
Isn't it supposed to be that I should be a bit more cautious?
But hey, i'm just a little boy trying to save the day
But i’m just a little boy trying not to lose his way
But I'm just a little boy trying not to die in vain
so please untie me, untie me, untie me
Please untie me, and make me swear i will stay
Cause i will stay… I'd be there for you... like i once did...

Last Dance

Fire bursting through your heart
Spread your wings and shake the ash
Flames will set you free
Feel the sun ignite

Through the burning pain we’ve drowned
As we reach for the stars
Legends ride in heat
Feel the rage inside

Don't be afraid of what might come... remember who you are
Don't ever quit your right… to stand again and fight
   
Cry your name out loud, and let your soul become the wind
Fly and rise again, evoke your soul, become the wind

Ruling silence from above
The eternity won't last
As i come undone
Feel it's still alive

Shadows racing to defy
The gravity won't last,
Never doubt your light
Feel it through the night

Cry your name out loud, and let your soul become the wind
Fly and rise again, evoke your soul, become the wind

Lyrics: Pablo Stefanini
Music: Pablo Stefanini, Francisco Rodriguez Mendez, Gustavo Alvarez

Hey you, don't you see?
the real and essential things
hey you, don't you feel?
disenchanted as we speak
 
it's in you, it's in you, it's in you... the way to stop all grief
 
hey you, you're just like me
sick and twisted living thing
hey you, on your knees
don't look up for what you seek
 
now you will, now you will, now you will...on your knees!
 
my eyes see, i won't forget
just deal with, the mess you've made

my eyes see, i won't forget
I'm losing, that one last bet

hey you, look at me
and tell me what you get from this
hey you, does it feed?
the old broken self esteem

my eyes see, why don't you care?
we are losing, that one last chance
 
my eyes see, i won't forget
i'm healing, the wounds can mend
 
now you see we're still not dead
we can take that one last breath and never we drown

Mirror

Zhaga was created in Buenos Aires in late 2011 from the audiovisual dreams of Pablo Stefanini (Singer), Francisco Rodriguez Mendez (Rhythm  Guitar) and Gustavo Alvarez (Lead Guitar). The three ex members of Eloree, ask Em Galarraga (CNNBS) to join the band.

The project evolved fluently, and then the composition and pre production work, for the debut album, began.

Almost a year later and after writing 30 new songs, Zhaga recruits drummer Mariano Mattos (Titeres de Trapo, Tres Mantras) to complete the formation.

In the album there are influences from Deftones, Linkin Park, Foo Fighters, Avenged Sevenfold, Killswitch Engage, Smashing Pumpkins & Sevendust, to HIM, The Ramones y Muse.

In february 2013, along with producer Czar Torelli (Pork), Zhaga recorded drums and basses in Joder Studios owned by Andrés Vilanova (A.N.I.M.A.L., Carajo) in Buenos Aires City, who also participates as the Drum Doctor and recording engineer.

The album "The beauty of Karma" has 10 songs in english, going from an acoustic balad with 90's influences, to songs with sharped guitars, solid bases and a blunt sound that fights to define itself between alternative rock and nü metal.
