[English]

Everyone blames me for what I've done

But no one tells the truth here

They think that life is eternal

They believe they have it all, but they don't

And it takes courage

To be able to carry on

Bearing this weight all alone

Woh!

Mute, blind, foolish, a stupid man

By the time you open your eyes, it will be too late

I am waiting for my rematch

They won't be able to defeat me, I am reality

The battle will be

As worthy as the truth

I have always fought until the end

Like thunder, he returned

An ancient sword shines in the sun

From other times, it will come

With its magic to fight

Everyone used to tell me it couldn't be done

I was all alone in a storm

Submerged in mud all the time

I could see their eyes, I could see the evil

Now I can scream

I won't let it be silenced

I have always fought until the end

Until the end

Until the end

To fight

Until the end

Until the end

Until the end

Fighting until the end

[Spanish]

Todos me reprochan lo que hice

Pero nadie dice una verdad aquí

Piensan que la vida es eterna

Creen tenerlo todo, pero no es así

Y hace falta valor

Para poder continuar

Cargando este peso en soledad

¡Woh!

Mudo, ciego, necio, hombre tonto

Cuando abras los ojos muy tarde será

Estoy esperando la revancha

No podrán vencerme soy la realidad

La batalla será

Digna como la verdad

He luchado siempre hasta el final

Como el trueno regresó

Vieja espada brilla al sol

De otros tiempos va a venir

Con su magia a combatir

Todos me decían no se puede

Estaba muy solo en una tempestad

Sumergido en lodo todo el tiempo

Pude ver sus ojos, pude ver el mal

Ahora puedo gritar

No lo quiero callar

He luchado siempre hasta el final

Hasta el final

Hasta el final

Luchar

Hasta el final

Hasta el final

Hasta el final

Luchando hasta el final
