[English]

Hidden in some forest

You will find a door

Its power is the path

That can transform us

Oh-oh, oh-oh

I must search until I find it

Oh-oh, oh-oh

It will be the salvation

Powerful religions

Manipulate our faith

The infamous ones who rule

Will trample humanity

Oh-oh, oh-oh

You must search until you find it

Oh-oh, oh-oh

You must fight, children of the sun

Uoh-oh

You will run through the mist

And perhaps you will get lost

But you know that your fire

Will conquer the darkness

Oh-oh, oh-oh

You must search until you find it

Oh-oh, oh-oh

You must fight, children of the sun

[Spanish]

Escondida en algún bosque

Una puerta encontrarás

Su poder es el camino

Que nos puede transformar

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Debo buscar hasta encontrarla

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Ella será la salvación

Poderosas religiones

Manipulan nuestra fe

Los infames que gobiernan

Pisarán la humanidad

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Debes buscar hasta encontrarla

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Deben luchar, hijos del sol

Uoh-oh

Correrás entre la niebla

Y quizá te perderás

Pero sabes que tu fuego

Vencerá la oscuridad

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Debes buscar hasta encontrarla

Oh-oh, oh-oh

Deben luchar, hijos del sol
