Two Sides Of A Coin
04:19
|
|||
|
Do you want free will,
and to pull the strings?
Be the centerfold of these torn out sheets?
Exchange your worth for hedonism.
Another slave of escapism:
A feral animal trying to tame what's left of itself.
No one wants the consequences,
no ones dares to look or fight.
And the afflictions that once made us human
are gone with a pill.
Don't evade the truth,
there are things we can't undo.
Do you want free will?
Arbitrary divinities by such judgemental humanitites.
Do you want free will?
I have seen the devil in a suit,
misery filling every corner of the world.
And you pious god went mute.
I begin to think they're both the same,
or none of them ever cared.

The Gates
04:57
|
|||
|
Monsters and dust,
terrifying lucid dreams.
No wisdom was learnt through suffering
All bridges were burnt
there's no path that leads to salvation
while god smokes a cigarette.
Only fear and power stayed,
only starving souls survived.
Echoes of laughter tear-stained,
an uneaten hope remained.
Prayers for Our Lady of Ashes.
Monuments carved out of our penance.
The once joyful voices rust
and we sleep with the serpents.
We sing in whispers, we worship our broken
beliefs
Only fear and power stayed,
only starving souls survived.
Echoes of laughter tear-stained,
an uneaten hope remained.

Modern Catastrophes
03:17
|
|||
|
Just one touch of tragedy
is enough to rethink all my life.
Simple drops of catastrophe and
we become scavengers.
What do we seek? Eternity in front of a screen?
Someone that forgives all our sins and makes us
forget what we fear?
No one? Anyone?
No one? Anyone?
No one? Anyone?
No one? Anyone?
What do we seek? Eternity in front of a screen?
What do we seek? Eternity in front of a screen?
Legacy exchanged for dignity,
a parade of golden calves.
An idol for another.
Enjoy what you're given.
Don't question your prophets...
Is this what we're supposed to do while we live?
Am I too young to think about time?

Generational Curses
03:11
|
|||
|
Be careful about your shadows,
It's so easy to shatter in a world like this.
It's harder to forgive when you're full of sins.
''Have you tried to escape?'' says the hangman.
And when I turned, his name was mine.
We're not the first, we're not the last.
Your gray, shadowy name has lost its voice.
Another sacrifice in the name of the old times,
One more generation of sorrows marches on
with you...
To the ground. Six feet down.
It could have been better, I want you to know.
You could have done better, not now...
Perhaps never.

Nightfall
03:33
|
|||
|
As soon as the sun rises red
the strangest forms of beauty are born.
No symmetry, no man made silhouettes:
An abditory for the restless.
This isolated sense of existence
over nature unbothered.
Are we all doomed to feel forever apart?
Precious things have the darkest price:
Craving to be alone but lost in the crowd.
Should we sedate our fragile hearts
and keep them same from the nightfall?

Static Beast
03:40
|
|||
|
Shadows of forsaken times,
from the life I once had.
A handful of bleeding wounds...endlessly, willingly...
All my strength goes towards ignoring the signs.
All my strength and one more day behind.
How much do you think I regret?
How much do you think I have missed?
A few moments of bliss in exchange for a life of
living in hell!
I have bleed all I could, I have nothing left for you!
Static beast, a false atonement.
Untrue grief, what a pathetic play.
Wretched you, deserving all your loss.
|

Don't run out of rage,
deconstruct all you can change.
It is hard to look inside
and see the wasted time
taken for granted.
This one sided version of a story
still hides centuries of glory...
We were more once upon a time,
much more than now.
Are you willing to break the rules
that suit you?
Are you ready to be thrown away
when you stand for what is right?
Change the world and break the walls,
until this rotten system falls.
Growth has always hurt, lose your
chains and burn.
Can you really live like this?
I wish silence wasn't a virtue
and that we fought for the same side.
What is life under conditions that
deny us our humanity disguised as free will?
''You're worth what you can produce'',
that's what they say.
That defiance is stubborness...
That the meek shall inherit the earth.
Change the world and break the walls...
Until this rotten system falls...
Change the world and break the walls...
Until this rotten system falls...
Growth has always hurt, lose your chains
and burn.
Can you really live like this?
I wish silence wasn't a virtue
and that we fought for the same side.
What is life under conditions that deny us
our humanity disguised as free will?

Fallen Saints
03:41
|
|||
|
The halo sits on your head.
Sunlight and warm.
Paradise has gone wrong,
look what we’ve done.
Why believe in senseless tales
If goodness doesn’t come with faith?
You are all the things you hate,
So you choose to look the other way.
You will fall to the ground
warmed by your lies
If goodness doesn’t come with faith...
You are all the things you hate...
So you choose to look the other way.
So you choose to look the other way.

People Like You
04:15
|
|||
|
Some men will make up lies so carefully
they'll taste like truth.
A spider weaving its silk trap making us all
follow through.
This kind of rage wears you out...
yielding and smiling, avoiding the conflict.
Trust should be something you earn,
yet you buy it but forget to pay
and then make us feel like we owe you.
No more ''point of view''s
Paint the truth as it is
You can keep your circus going on
but the patterns are obvious.
You erase people around you and I should've
known better.
This is the last silence I hold out of courtesy,
I'm fed up with my own diplomacy...
But who the fuck are you?
A golden calf for the fools,
A trojan present past the gates.
People like you make people like me want war.
I am no longer your trophy,
And I want blood and I crave fire.
The illusion of power leads to disillusion of men.

The Debt
04:58
|
|||
|
Tonight the veil lifts so we can see
each other.
The reckoning I waited for is here,
The past will have no power over me.
Now I know that it wasn't my fault,
now I know that love isn't blood red.
All the pain you put me through will
turn back to you.
Come over and surrender, come over and surrender.
The past has no power over me.
How can I forgive? If this is the price
I pay to make you feel what I still deal with.
I can't put the past behind me and
just forget, and sometimes I wish I could but this rage has become fuel.
I've destroyed myself to protect me from my thoughts, to be the one who twists the knife.
You will never take power over me again.
I'm breaking through the cage and I'm leaving my chains behind.
I need to forgive myself for trying
to heal people like you.
Nothing and no one can bring me peace anymore.
I've burnt with the sun and cut with the cold wind,
Nothing and no one can hurt me now.
There's just one thing I can't forget:
You owe me my light.

Farewell
03:27
|
|||
|
Ah, the way love falls...
Ah, a cold that burns...
I paralyze, I paralyze and watch you leave.
It makes no sense to look for you.
I know things fade, I know it hurts.
We both knew I had to go...
You never said "don't".
I never meant to break you down but I had to see myself in you.
This silent resignation was the warmest farewell we could have,
And even if I had the chance... I never want you back.

Hetaira Decrépita Mexico
A mexican project, usually labeled as a darkwave band. The inspiration behind Hetaira Decrépita lies in the sight of a ravenous society disintegrating: The mechanical dehumanization that we allow to happen and the depth of every emotion and experience; It is born from a hunger to purify the soul of its hopelessness and as a resistance to anguish through the catharsis of creation. ... more
