Desenredo

Throughout all the land I pass, everything I see amazes me
Death weaves its thread of life inside out
The gaze that captures wanders free
The gaze that releases is trapped
But when I arrive, I get entangled
In the webs of your desire
The whole world marked by iron, fire, and contempt
Life is the thread of time, death the end of the skein
The gaze that frightens is lifeless
The gaze that warns is lit
But when I arrive, I get lost
In the braids of your secret
Oh Minas, oh Minas, it's time to leave, I'm going
I'm going far away
The candle wax burning, man setting his price
Death that life is plotting, life that death is having
The weaker gaze is bold
The stronger gaze, defenseless
But when I arrive, I get tangled
In the strands of your hair
Oh Minas, oh Minas, it's time to leave, I'm going
I'm going far away...
