Por Un Corazón de Piedra

Opera Magna's song "Por Un Corazón de Piedra" delves into the profound themes of love, betrayal, and eternal suffering. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a soul that has experienced the highs of passion and the lows of treachery. The protagonist begins by reflecting on a time when their heart was filled with passion, only to be left with a fleeting memory and an immortal dream buried deep within. This initial passion and subsequent loss set the stage for the emotional journey that follows.

The song's narrative continues with the protagonist expressing a loss of faith and direction, describing themselves as a 'dead man walking' and a 'jester without a script,' highlighting the depth of their despair. The betrayal they experienced has left them wandering aimlessly, feeling like a victim of fate. The tempest that seems never-ending symbolizes the ongoing struggle and the difficulty of moving forward while haunted by past memories. The protagonist's life without their lost love is depicted as a constant mockery, emphasizing the pain of their existence.

As the song progresses, the protagonist identifies themselves as the 'guardian of the eternal,' a being who cannot cry because they are incapable of love. This metaphor of being a captive soul in a crystal dream underscores the isolation and emotional imprisonment they feel. The lyrics convey a sense of resignation to their fate, acknowledging that they are a product of a curse. Despite this, there is a glimmer of hope as they leave behind memories and the infinite anguish of love. The song concludes with the protagonist's kingdom fading into darkness, their heart turned to stone, and a sorrowful end, encapsulating the tragic essence of their story.
