Pandora

Pandora arrived here long before existence,
her gift was evil in potential,
she spread her essence and waited calmly since then,
knowing where weak man falters,
she scattered seeds of pain and hysteria around the world,
blooming branches of horror and misery.
Her soul is murky, feeds on fury and deprivation,
insult, envy, rage.
She knows how to proceed, has the power granted by Lucifer,
knows how to overcome your fears,
when Jesus Christ was born, she whispered to Herod,
told him to kill the children, do not delay.
She was the one who injected doses of anger into Genghis Khan,
today she imposes her law between George Bush and Saddam.
Her plan is infinite, her ritual is crime and murder,
ungrateful dealings as her only habit.
From her pulpit of evil, she plunges us into loneliness,
she's in the ghettos of Sogüeto, the reality of Islamabad,
her malice is unique, she inspired the Punic wars,
devastated Guernica and activated the atomic bomb.
Look at her, Pandora, some fear her and others adore her,
they beg for her power, she destroys fauna and flora,
expanding hour by hour,
the world ignores that treacherous conscience that suffocates us in our fears and jealousies.
She makes us want to be first, not to stop and covet without restraint.
Her spirit nests in every suicidal and homicidal instinct.
Pandora is like a poison that liquidates our lives.

[Chorus]
When the power of ambition possesses us,
it makes the world tremble and stagger, and she is there.
When the noble sells to the poor, exchanging gold for copper,
man kills man and she is there.
When we pour our anger into other beings,
we turn into cruel executioners and she is there.
Pandora, dark lady who loves to see us suffer,
vile soul that controls our destiny.

Pandora is cunning and cold, she guides our flaws,
she detests joy and affection,
because love hurts her and dies,
she strikes where it hurts the most and crushes us like insects.
She hides behind the mirror and enhances your complexes,
provoking feelings of shame,
she undermines your self-confidence and hope,
placing in your head a desire for vile revenge.
Her ways are as old as injustice,
her reflexes cripple and derange us.
She disguises herself as jaundice, bubonic plague and typhus,
AIDS, hepatitis, cancer and other viruses.
She never sleeps, loves it when your body gets sick,
when your defenses weaken, her self-rejection germ,
is an arrow that pierces and devours us,
ambition sores appear, and the heart fades away.
She lined up ordinary people before Attila's rage,
causing immense harm, her perverse spirit,
united guerrillas, putting innocents and defenseless on their knees.
She made a pact with Adolf Hitler and had him as an ally,
she spilled seas of blood at the gates of Stalingrad,
she had us dominated by feudal lords,
corrupt popes, dictators, and heads of states.
In the past it was Lepanto and Normandy,
today it's the hitmen of Colombia, the famines of Ethiopia,
it's not a utopia to kill her,
only peace and harmony will make us strong one day.
She perverts your subconscious and uses you
through a television that lies and hypnotizes.
Pandora tears you apart, drugs you and alcoholizes you,
she oppresses you because love terrifies her.
It seems like there's nothing to stop her,
but believe me, she is very fragile and fears us.
Pandora is 9/11, 3/11.
When she comes, death smiles and entertains herself.

[Chorus]
When the power of ambition possesses us,
it makes the world tremble and stagger, and she is there.
When the noble sells to the poor, exchanging gold for copper,
man kills man and she is there.
When we pour our anger into other beings,
we turn into cruel executioners and she is there.
Pandora, dark lady who loves to see us suffer,
vile soul that controls our destiny.

Pandora lives inside you, and empties you little by little.
Pandora is your hatred and frustration, your self-rejection for being fat or ugly, for being poor and anonymous, for being disabled or for being a woman, for being black or Jewish, for being homosexual.
For not being perfect she makes you feel different and rejected, she has transmitted that instinct from generation to generation, it's the hatred that you will pass on to your children and then to your grandchildren, and so on.
She lives inside you and you won't be able to kill her until you accept yourself. Pandora is evil and in her box we have hidden all the unpleasant things inside us, free yourself, Peace
