The Tower

If ten battalions came to my street
And 20 thousand soldiers knocked on my door
Looking for you
I wouldn't say anything
Because I gave you my word

Your white body already growing hair
Reminds me of the time when you were small
I don't intend to take advantage
And in any case, who goes back
Alone to the house is me

Sex buys money and company
But never love and friendship, I think
And after a hard day
I thought I saw you
Enter through my window and say

I am your death
I came to talk to you
I came to ask for shelter
I need your warmth

I am
I am
I am

The homeland that forgot you
The executioner who tortured you
The general who gouged out your eyes
The innocent blood
Of all the disappeared
The electric shock and the screams

Please stop, this hurts
I am
I am
I am

Your death
And I came to visit you as a friend
We must flirt with danger
Follow our primitive instincts
Who knows if these
Will be our last fun moments?

I am the memory of terror
Of a shitty revolution
Of generals and a shitty army
No, we can never forget
Nor should we forgive

I didn't grant amnesty to anyone
Open your eyes and heart
Let's be alert
Because the terror continues
It just changed its smell
And uniform

I am your death
And I care for you
Forget the world, I came to explain what will come
Because I am
I am
I am
