[English]

Airs of greatness, fire on the skin

Wings of a destiny that hasn't arrived yet

Lonely minds, leather and sweat

Eyes that don't shine, light without warmth

To be immortal

They want to feel the wind in their faces

Over the engine

A single heart merges as one

...

Words are unnecessary, they have their own law

They play on the asphalt, there is no king

You hear them approaching, everything trembled

It's the end of the world, your salvation

To be immortal

Judas opened the gates of hell

And soon it emerged

Like a devastating cyclone

To fight to the death and to resist

To let freedom explode

To tear down the great city

The good times will return

To fight to the death and to resist

To let freedom explode

To tear down the great city

The good times will return

...

To fight to the death and to resist

To let freedom explode

To tear down the great city

The good times will return

Yeh-eh-eh-eh

Freedom

The good times will return

To fight to the death and to resist

To let freedom explode

To tear down the great city

The good times will return

...

[Spanish]

Aires de grandeza, fuego en la piel

Alas de un destino que aún no llegó

Mentes solitarias, cuero y sudor

Ojos que no brillan, luz sin calor

Ser inmortal

Quieren sentir el viento en la cara

Sobre el motor

Se funde un solo corazón

Sobran las palabras, tienen su ley

Juegan sobre asfalto, no hay ningún rey

Oyes que se acercan, todo tembló

Es el fin del mundo, tu salvación

Ser inmortal

Judas abrió las puertas del infierno

Y pronto surgió

Como un ciclón devastador

A morir y a resistir

A explotar la libertad

Arrasar la gran ciudad

Los buenos tiempos volverán

A morir y a resistir

A explotar la libertad

Arrasar la gran ciudad

Los buenos tiempos volverán

A morir y a resistir

A explotar la libertad

Arrasar la gran ciudad

Los buenos tiempos volverán

Yeh-eh-eh-eh

La libertad

Los buenos tiempos volverán

A morir y a resistir

A explotar la libertad

Arrasar la gran ciudad

Los buenos tiempos volverán
