lyrics

EQUAL

CENTURIE I.
A powerful and fragile species
Wants to decide where and how
The life of another living being
Has the same value as its own

Always showing off, adamant
Made of raw materials
Created above everything
These higher grounds

Power exists for crushing
With heavy hands
Holding so tight that
There is no use in trying to escape

The usual unequal
Is better defined
To be shown as scars
A few seen under the skin

If we are Truth itself
We are the pulsing Truth

CENTURIE II.
Others are high above
Ridiculously high
EXes mark their spots
At the fringes of reality

Lands to conquer
That the rich bargained
All of the waterways
Lives of smaller men

Women always in sacrifice
Feeding their children
Dreaming of any beautiful thing
It's the best they can do

From trenches
Men declaring ownership
On the fallen bodies
Their possessions looted

If we are Truth itself
We are the pulsing Truth

CENTURIE III.
Carved in clean, rotten meat
Fresh corpses to choose from
Are swept under the rug
Always youngsters, a purpose

Every cemetery mumbles
The grass grows with no vigour
On the edges of their gravestones
Forgotten children

A past of poor history
Threatening everything that lives
The expansion of the meaningless
Money talks, always

But they keep their hands sterile
Clean their mouths from crimes
Blood on stained clothes
To polish their shiny shoes

If we are Truth itself
We are the pulsing Truth

CENTURIE IV.
Uncertain, of course
The tendons trembling
As if to undress
But forced to move

And finally Truth
Wears worn underwear
Blind before the uncertain future
Weak arms and legs, as always

They left you spooky
Stitching you the worst possible way
For the money, yes, the money
Some kind of santeria

Thrown into the lake of lies
I thought it would die
From the bottom it came up
Thinking about how different it could be

If we are Truth itself
We are the pulsing Truth

CENTURIE V.
A new trick for Truth
With a magic wand of the realm
A backlash against a little piety
A heavy heart is needed to do this

You and I
Together
The lie won't last
Call a spade a spade
‘Cause a lie has no legs

If we are Truth itself
We are the pulsing Truth
Truth
pulsing
pulsing...
