Hijo De La Ira

Warcry's song 'Hijo De La Ira' delves deep into the psyche of a person consumed by fanaticism and the inevitable downfall that accompanies such a mindset. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is blind and deaf to reason, yet not mute, indicating that they are vocal about their misguided beliefs. The phrase 'solo un fanatico mas' (just another fanatic) underscores the commonality and danger of such individuals in society.

The song's protagonist expresses a desire to witness the end of this fanatic's reign, suggesting a personal vendetta or a broader societal wish for the demise of such destructive ideologies. The line 'El enemigo habita en tu interior' (The enemy resides within you) highlights the internal struggle and the self-destructive nature of fanaticism. This internal enemy is a step back in evolution, indicating that such beliefs are regressive and hinder personal and societal growth.

The repetition of 'Solo una patria, solamente un color, solo una creencia, una ley y un amor' (Only one homeland, only one color, only one belief, one law, and one love) emphasizes the narrow-mindedness and exclusivity of the fanatic's worldview. The protagonist's disbelief in the fanatic's self-righteousness is evident in the lines 'crees que el infierno no esta hecho para ti, crees tantas cosas pero yo no creo en ti' (you believe that hell is not made for you, you believe so many things but I don't believe in you). This stark contrast between belief and disbelief underscores the futility and isolation of fanaticism, ultimately labeling the fanatic as a 'pobre infeliz' (poor wretch).

Warcry, known for their powerful and emotive lyrics, uses 'Hijo De La Ira' to critique the dangers of fanaticism and the self-deception that accompanies it. The song serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of open-mindedness and the perils of blind faith.
