[English]

The curse falls upon me

...

Why have I never been in pain before?

My world spins, I have no control

My soul dies

...

Immense abyss of anguish

You wound my innards

I looked inside my soul

And I saw a prostrate angel

I will die forever

In this sad abyss of tears

Screams of blood

Out of me

I sink into silence

Chaos in my heart

I can only feel

The lack of light doesn't let me see

I experience agony

Why can't you understand?

What is a languid sunset?

When I have been laid low

I will not try to resurrect

...

I will die forever

In this sad abyss of tears

Screams of blood

Out of me

I sink into silence

...

I can no longer feel

...

I can no longer fear

...

I will die forever

...

Tears of blood

...

My soul dies

My soul dies

...

[Spanish]

La maldición recae sobre mí

¿Por qué nunca antes me había dolido?

Mi mundo gira, no tengo el control

Muere mi alma

Inmensa sima de angustia

Aciagas mis entrañas

Miré dentro de mi alma

Y ví un ángel postrado

Yo moriré para siempre

En este triste abismo de llanto

Gritos de sangre

Fuera de mí

Me hundo en el silencio

Caos en mi corazón

Sólo puedo sentir

La falta de luz no me deja ver

Experimento la agonía

¿Por qué no podéis entender?

¿Que es lánguido el atardecer?

Cuando haya sido abatido

No intentaré resucitar

Yo moriré para siempre

En este triste abismo de llanto

Gritos de sangre

Fuera de mí

Me hundo en el silencio

Ya no puedo sentir más

Ya no puedo temer más

Moriré por siempre

Lágrimas de sangre

Muere mi alma

Muere mi alma
