They say no one stops the hours
That no one stops the waves
They say it's only you
When you talk to yourself and dialogue alone
They say you only control five percent
That the rest is destiny
They say this divine universe already has the path traced

And today I look at the planet, my pale world
Everyone with their reason and a whip
Ignorance at its peak
Corrupt judges, referees
Hollow beats and pulses
Due to dry, tired, and arid habits
Right and left hungry for votes
Changing the discourse so quickly
I know their scams, the chaos we live in
We wanted to hate, divide ourselves
Be crows instead of blackbirds
Surrender to the boss, be silent and serve him
The guilty do it
We are the accomplices for allowing it
By falling asleep in an easy dream
While the neo-Nazis sing their hymns
Even though my garments tear
I prefer the plains of Alaska
Far from the vast mass
That among expensive masks rots and gets stuck
They scratch the wound and it hurts, of course
The hours in unemployment lines
And greedy ones anchored to golden rings
Always go under the protection of the most expensive lighthouse
How sad the shot in Kabul
The blood staining the cheerful birch
How sad the sky, so sad and blue
How sad the lazy and idle politician
How sad to be born in Mosul, in Darfur, Palestine
Terror is routine
How sad to kill the loving archangel
To free the murderous beast

I paint my days with calm (exodus)
Peace in the soul is my weapon (exodus)
My light shines strong
Facing their hatred, preventing it from burning (exodus)

I paint my nights without cages (exodus)
The thirst of my mind saves me (exodus)
Looking for a different world
An exodus, a bridge, far from their claws (exodus)

I paint my days with calm (exodus)
Peace in the soul is my weapon (exodus)
My light shines strong
Facing their hatred, preventing it from burning (exodus)

I paint my nights without cages (exodus)
The thirst of my mind saves me (exodus)
Looking for a different world
An exodus, a bridge, far from their claws (exodus)

They say God has left tired and won't return
That nothing makes us feel guilty
They say honor is lost
Touching the germs of a green paper
They say the Earth boils
Between wars of coltan, diamond, and oil
They say there are wolves and hyenas
Hunting prey by the hundreds from the capitol
We had it all
Technology brings the world to the reach of a finger
Pornography and gambling
Hypocrisy today is the new cancer
The prison of the ego I've seen
How easy to steal and be smart
I insist on loving the different
Taking the brother by the hand
And quickly getting him out of his labyrinth
Everyone murmuring prejudices
Storing their vices in trunks
At the service of the vile and his fallacy
Of a democracy on the edge of the precipice
You will be worth if you give them benefits
That's the great circus of leisure
Food that makes you sick and pills that cure
Safe profits for their business
I have nostalgia for meadows and valleys
The asthma in the streets exhausts me
They order you to play and be silent
Until you faint and explode with each defeat
To pay the fee, to be masochistic
An idiot patriot, their docile pet
To lick their boots, to flatter the king
And obey his law or he whips you
How horrible the drops of fear in Aleppo
How horrible the ghettos
How horrible the blindfold on the rest's eyes
That observes and stays so still
How horrible to die in Caracas, Sudan, or Mecca
The pain squeezes us
How horrible to feel it knowing
That the only homeland I have is my entire planet

I paint my days with calm (exodus)
Peace in the soul is my weapon (exodus)
My light shines strong
Facing their hatred, preventing it from burning (exodus)

I paint my nights without cages (exodus)
The thirst of my mind saves me (exodus)
Looking for a different world
An exodus, a bridge, far from their claws (exodus)

I paint my days with calm (exodus)
Peace in the soul is my weapon (exodus)
My light shines strong
Facing their hatred, preventing it from burning (exodus)

I paint my nights without cages (exodus)
The thirst of my mind saves me (exodus)
Looking for a different world
An exodus, a bridge, far from their claws (exodus)

They say no one stops the hours
That no one stops the waves
They say it's only you
When you talk to yourself and dialogue alone
They say you only control five percent
That the rest is destiny
They say this divine universe already has the path traced
