Quiero el fuego de los viejos que lucharon por amor,
el coraje de unos pocos contra el F.I.E.S.* en prisión,
quiero de Hamid* su fuerza, por mostrarnos el horror.
Quiero la perseverancia de los que pelean hoy.
De los que sienten la pasión y caminan con decisión.
Yo no tengo su memoria, ni tampoco su valor,
pero no cambian el mundo llanto y autocompasión.
Y en medio de mis tormentas nado por ellos también,
que es infinito el camino pero lo vamos a hacer.
Porque sentimos la pasión y es esta nuestra decisión.
Y si vuelve la niebla recuerdo que en la guerra
no siempre son visibles las victorias más bellas.

I want the fire from the elder who fought for love / the courage of a few, against F.I.E.S.*, in prison / I want Hamid`s** strength, for making the horror visible / I want the perseverance of those who fight today / Of the ones who are passionate and walk with determination / I don’t have their memory / nor their heroism / but tears and self-pity will never change the world / And in the middle of my storms / I swim for them too / ‘cause the path will be infinite / but we will make it anyway / Because we feel the passion and it is our decision / And anytime the fog comes back / I remember that the most beautiful victories in war are not always visible.

Opener absolutely rips. Falls into the ranks of tracks like “Dance” by ESG, “Eisbaer” by Grauzone, “Damaged Goods” by Gang of Four or like the album description says Kleenex. This is some really good stuff. Favorite song is the opener but dedicate “Blue” to my friend Blue who lost her life at 22, she would have loved this album. TheBloodofChrist
