Soy de un sitio, de un lugar 00:51
De un tiempo que 00:53
Llaman eternidad 00:55
Y al viento, mi hogar 00:55
Donde la realidad 01:00
La puedes cambiar 01:05
Si sabes preguntar 01:09
Y no das nada por hecho 01:09

[English]
I'm from a place, a location
From a time that
They call eternity
And the wind, my home
Where reality
You can change it
If you know how to ask
And you don't take anything for granted
What does pain taste like?
Is love eternal?
Is bitterness a woman?
What are dreams made of?
How much does a goodbye weigh?
Why is peace mute?
Can betrayal sleep?
Ask yourself!
And you will see that my voice
Lives in you, I am The Sleeping Voice
Of those the Holy Office managed to silence
If you want to follow me
We will fly over the rainbow
Where sorrows die and kisses are born in bloom
My voice lives in you!
...
I have seen Rome fall
And Egypt die
And Jesus of Nazareth
Expire without knowing
That in his name was to be born
A sect of power
Traffickers of illusion
Merchants of broken souls
Why is faith deaf?
And the believer blind?
Does a prayer know how to kiss?
How much does celibacy cost?
Is the altar for sale?
Or do you rent it...
For use by a dictator?
In one, Hitler fucked!
And you will see that my voice
Lives in you, I am The Sleeping Voice
Of those the Holy Office managed to silence
If you want to follow me
We will fly over the rainbow
Where sorrows die and kisses are born in bloom
My voice lives in you!
I have descended to your hell
And I asked your fears
Where do failures live?
And if they accept a tarot
I have ascended to his heaven
His god did not receive me
Franco is on his right
And between the two there is a gap for Pinochet
...
And you will see that I am the Sleeping Voice
Follow me, my voice lives in you
And you will see that my voice
Lives in you, I am The Sleeping Voice
Of those the Holy Office managed to silence
If you want to follow me
We will fly over the rainbow
Where sorrows die and kisses are born in bloom
And you will see that my voice
Lives in you, I am The Sleeping Voice
Of those the Holy Office managed to silence
If you want to follow me
We will fly over the rainbow
Where sorrows die and kisses are born in bloom
My voice lives in you!
I have burned in a thousand bonfires
I was raped in Peru
I have lived the Holocaust
The Inquisition, Apartheid, dictatorships, power, pederasty, the mark of the devil is the cross
...
