Los Ojos Del Dragón

“Los Ojos Del Dragón” by Rata Blanca is a powerful and evocative song that delves into themes of truth, sacrifice, and the eternal struggle between good and evil. The lyrics tell the story of a mystical woman, a sorceress, who arrives from a distant place bearing a profound truth. Her soul, never at peace, spreads faith and hope. The imagery of a 'woman of light' with a gaze that holds immense power suggests that she possesses a magical ability capable of saving the world from the 'eyes of the dragon,' a metaphor for a looming, destructive force or evil presence.

Despite her noble mission, the world fails to heed her warnings. The 'foolish tyrant' condemns her, leading to her downfall. Her eyes, once bright with power, are now dimmed, and she is left in bitter solitude, returning to eternity. This part of the song reflects the often tragic fate of those who bring uncomfortable truths to light, only to be rejected and punished by society. The sorceress's plight symbolizes the struggle of visionaries and prophets who are misunderstood and persecuted.

As time passes, the world faces the consequences of ignoring her message. The imagery of terror covering the sky and the sun exploding signifies a catastrophic event, possibly an apocalypse. The narrator, however, finds solace in the sorceress's spell, which will protect him from the 'eyes of the dragon.' This ending suggests a glimmer of hope and redemption, emphasizing the enduring power of faith and magic even in the face of overwhelming darkness. Rata Blanca's song is a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between hope and despair, and the enduring impact of those who dare to speak the truth.
