| I was born
| Nací
|
| to potential and limitless grace
| a la gracia potencial e ilimitada
|
| with the flashing of light
| con el parpadeo de la luz
|
| it was gone when the smoke cleared
| se había ido cuando el humo se disipó
|
| cast in ash and powder
| fundido en ceniza y polvo
|
| I was raised to obey and respect but
| Me criaron para obedecer y respetar, pero
|
| at the edge of the lake
| a la orilla del lago
|
| was dead and disruption
| estaba muerto y perturbado
|
| when the water splashed across my back
| cuando el agua salpicó mi espalda
|
| it burned
| quemó
|
| for the dead there’s no comfort in fate
| para los muertos no hay consuelo en el destino
|
| and the lie is faintly declined???
| y la mentira se declina levemente???
|
| and the purpose of living is life
| y el proposito de vivir es la vida
|
| I wasn’t chosen
| no fui elegido
|
| I didn’t choose the path
| yo no elegí el camino
|
| my heart’s not built to hold his love
| mi corazón no está construido para sostener su amor
|
| I was schooled
| yo estaba escolarizado
|
| in a place of tradition
| en un lugar de tradición
|
| but something was missing
| pero algo faltaba
|
| in faces of classmates
| en caras de compañeros
|
| eyes declared too blue, too deep
| ojos declarados demasiado azules, demasiado profundos
|
| in the church will lead us to worship
| en la iglesia nos llevará a adorar
|
| fighting to pull it apart
| luchando para separarlo
|
| with my nails
| con mis uñas
|
| as they chewed solid unpaid misery???
| mientras mascaban miseria solida sin pagar???
|
| from the bloods took the truth from the lies
| de la sangre tomó la verdad de las mentiras
|
| and the lie they took greatly to god
| y la mentira se la llevaron grandemente a dios
|
| when the lies after death is a prize
| cuando la mentira despues de la muerte es un premio
|
| I wanna reach out
| quiero comunicarme
|
| I wanna shake your hand
| quiero darte la mano
|
| your war is noble and divine
| tu guerra es noble y divina
|
| oooooooooooooohhhh | oooooooooooooohhhh |
