Faro de Alegandría

The Lighthouse of Alexandria lights my way
I'm a burnt book in the agora, a lost story
The light enchanting the moth
Me against my other self, dreams and nightmares

I tend to distrust, living without a plan doesn't limit me
It encourages me to see how my country screams
Let me trust again, take away the darkness
My Lighthouse of Alexandria

Light against darkness
Loving each other in poverty and sickness
Together until one of us dies
Swearing in front of the altar, raising your own flag
Enjoying peace until war returns

The sirens will sound, eh
Not the ones from the sea, but the ones on the ground
In the Amazon, dark clouds
My lungs hyperventilating smoke to the rhythm of the jungle

I only fear for my voice
For the lighthouse and its light, more than for my destiny
Because only a ray of hope lights the way
In my loved ones is where I've seen God

Looking at the clock, I rot
Looking in the mirror, I age, there's no gold in what shines
The lies I lack are the truths I expel
If I take stock, there are fewer merits than sweat

I don't believe in the future, I believe in the present and in actions
In the consequences of my outbursts
Every illusion granted is a reality I silence
They say every disappointment makes you older

And at 20, I already feel almost ancient
Here we build castles of shattered bricks
We defend the guild like a Roman his empire
(And if Alexandria burns)
Remember that you are the lighthouse's light

Let the gods come down and say otherwise
If after this I'm not dead, it means something, don't you think?
With all due respect to their divine power
No more than that of a person convincing themselves

May the earth swallow me, may the sky cloud over
May the seas drown me, may hell take me
Leave the message in life, I no longer fear death
I swear there's no place where the light doesn't reach

My Lighthouse of Alexandria, show me the way in the darkness
Everything clouds over, wind against me
Where your light is, there is mine
I live in darkness stuck to my shadow

And I need
My Lighthouse of Alexandria
Show me the way in the darkness
Everything clouds over, wind against me
Where your light is, there is mine
I live in darkness stuck to my shadow

And I need
My Lighthouse of Alexandria
Show me the way in the darkness
Everything clouds over, wind against me
Where your light is, there is mine
I live in darkness stuck to my shadow, eh
