Promise Of Destruction
05:22
|

You, find yourself among devastation,
Come, get closer to me.
If you feel fear and uncertainty,
Come, stay under my cloak will do you well.
Look at me, fall into fascination,
Submit yourself and deliver me your eternal devotion,
You will never see the shadows in the same way again,
Enter my embrace and give me your suffering.
Destroy yourself with your passion,
Come into the abyss, away from the sun.
In this land, where to be alive is a horrible thing
You will have a promise of destruction.
Start a cult to the ancient fear
And cover your body with blood.
We shall make a pact of fire,
Your essence will burn, as a flame...
Under the night you will get consumed,
In a voyage by the serene darkness.
Life will get extinguished,
But then after your death you will transcend.
An immortal night awaits us,
Primeval fear will stay behind.
Your most distant laments will get smothered.
In the end you shall be unchained…

I’m on the battlefield,
Willing to fight.
The invader I will have to defeat,
Today his blood I have to drink.
In a ritual we prepare ourselves,
Offering sacrifices to Huitzilopochtli.
But some suffer a strange disease,
They advance towards the Mictlán.
With the fire we dance,
Coexisting in an astral trance.
Observed by the ancestors,
We will protect its legacy.
I sharpen the obsidian with my brothers
We will fight like one.
Our freedom and lands we will defend,
Over their corpses we shall triumph.
The battle has begun,
Roar the drums and several thunders.
The earth is bathed in blood,
There are only mutilated bodies.
The invader has found allies,
Our losses are increasing.
It is a feast of pain and death,
Many march towards the Tonatiuhichan...
They have razed my people,
Defeated, I have been captured.
Now, they want to enslave us
And our culture remove.
But I prefer to die than to serve,
Soon I will be executed.
In the cosmos with my people I will meet
And I only know that I have failed.

Exalted by a mundane origin
I deny belong to a divine plan
I conceive and execute my own doctrine
Futile convictions I don’t have to emulate
Absorbed by the apparent universe inscrutability
I shudder in his sublime vehemence
I know that being here is just causality
And its mysteries don’t cause me fear
I don’t need a creed to abide
My principles I have to conceive
I don’t need an institution that wants to subjugate me
My directives I have to trace
I don’t need a temple to worship
My body is the sanctuary that I’ve to glorify
I don’t need a purpose to serve
My fate I have to determine

Bones and Dust
06:18
|
|||
Embraced by the warm breeze;
In the name of the silenced voices
Bones and dust narrate joys and sorrows
From a lost world, a world that was ours.
The carved stone spit the echoes
From a culture stranded in time.
It’s an incomprehensible and pale image
Proud of itself, proud of its origin.
The vigorous Sun reborn and die
In an endless funereal dance,
Waiting for the day when their children,
Formidable, come back to dance with him.
A raped land by those who can’t appreciate,
From the rot it moves away, doesn't want their conversion.
Slowly succumbs for the pass of time,
Now, only bones and dust are left.

Here, where we think we understand what happens
There, where truth escapes our comprehension
In any place where the order seems to thrive
The omnipresent chaos acts there
Every change, every eventuality
Everything is invariably connected
An ironic network spreads the inertia
It leads everything to a fateful and unique end
As a black hole it devours everything
Nothing is able to evade its irremediable labor
Every expression of beauty and horror conceived by nature
Eventually unarmed they must perish
There is only one certainty in this chaotic cosmos:
Death is the only true sovereign

Speaking to the Void
07:25
|
|||
An irrelevant and ephemeral existence
It’s consumed trying to solve trivial matters
An insatiable quest for answers
Answers that don’t fill the existential void
Reality is manipulated at our convenience
Foully speculating about what is ignored
Fragile certainties as clay
Absurd as our illusions
Stranded in denial
Wandering around alien chains
Poorly tied to dogmatic pillars
False pillars imposed as prescripts
Taking firm steps towards self-deception
Loving to creeds, doctrines and ideals
Hating yearnings, passions and desires
Denying that to our screams only silence answers back
