Éxodo

They say that no one stops the hours
That no one stops the waves
They say it's only you
When you talk to yourself and have a dialogue alone
They say you only control five percent
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 highest point
Corrupt judges, referees

Hollow heartbeats and palpitations
For 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, to divide
To be crows instead of blackbirds
To surrender to the boss, to be silent and serve

The guilty do it
We, the accomplices for allowing it
By falling asleep in an easy dream
While the neo-Nazis sing their anthems

Although my garments tear
I prefer the plains of Alaska
Far from the coarse mass
That rots and clogs among expensive masks

They scratch the wound and it hurts, of course
The hours in the unemployment lines
And the greedy anchored to golden hoops
Always under the protection of the most expensive lighthouse

How sad the shot in Kabul
The blood staining the cheerful birch
How sad the sky is, so sad and blue
How sad the lazy and lazy politician

How sad to be born in Mosul, in Darfur, Palestine
Terror is routine
How sad to kill the archangel who loves
To release the killer beast

I paint my days calmly (exodus)
The peace in the soul is my weapon (exodus)
My light shines brightly
Facing their hatred, avoiding 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 clutches (exodus)

I paint my days calmly (exodus)
The peace in the soul is my weapon (exodus)
My light shines brightly
Facing their hatred, avoiding 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 clutches (exodus)

They say that God has left tired and won't return
That nothing gnaws at us
They say honor is lost
Touching the germs of a green paper

They say the Earth is boiling
Between wars of coltan, diamond, and oil
They say there are wolves and hyenas
Hunting prey by the hundreds from the Capitol

We had everything
Technology brings the world at the touch of a finger
Pornography and gambling
Hypocrisy today is the new cancer

I have seen the prison of the ego
How easy to steal and be clever
I insist on loving the different
Taking the hand of the brother
And quickly pulling him out of his maze

Everyone murmurs prejudices
Storing their vices in trunks
At the service of the villain and his fallacy
Of a democracy facing the precipice

You'll be worth it if you give them benefits
That's the great circus of leisure
Food that makes you sick and pills that cure
Secure profits for their business

I have nostalgia for meadows and valleys
Asthma in the streets exhausts me
They order you to play and be quiet
Until you faint and burst with each defeat

To pay the fee, to be masochistic
An idiotic patriot, their docile pet
To lick their boots, to play ball with the king
And obey his law or be whipped

How horrible the drops of fear in Aleppo
How horrible the ghettos
How horrible the blindfold on the eyes of the rest
Who watch and remain so quiet

How horrible to die in Caracas, Sudan, or Mecca
The pain tightens us
How horrible to feel it
Knowing that the only homeland I have is my whole planet

I paint my days calmly (exodus)
The peace in the soul is my weapon (exodus)
My light shines brightly
Facing their hatred, avoiding 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 clutches (exodus)

I paint my days calmly (exodus)
The peace in the soul is my weapon (exodus)
My light shines brightly
Facing their hatred, avoiding 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 clutches (exodus)

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