[English]

Beyond consciousness

It dwells inside you

...

They are dead images

Prisoners of your being

Suffering and a lament arise

Owner of emotion

What good is being able to have everything?

If you don't have yourself

Your secret is born from your tomb

Forget about flying

Suffering, a lament rises

Owner of emotion

I have seen the hidden fear in your soul

Dead images, prisoner of you

I have seen the fear, locked in your soul

Dead images, you won't be able to escape!

Beyond consciousness

It dwells inside you

A blind mask

Under a never‑ending roof

Search inside and tear out that pain

That won't let you live

Hidden behind a glass

But I can see you

A door waits to be opened

Between you and the truth

Suffering, a lament rises

Owner of emotion!

I have seen the hidden fear in your soul

Dead images, prisoner of you

I have seen the fear, locked in your soul

Dead images, you won't be able to escape!

Suffering and a lament

Owner of emotion emerges

What good is being able to have everything?

If you don't have yourself!

I have seen the hidden fear in your soul

Dead images, prisoner of you

I have seen the fear, locked in your soul

Dead images, you won't be able to escape!

[Spanish]

Más allá de la conciencia

Ha-bi-ta en tu in-te-rior

Son imá-ge-nes muer-tas

Pri-sio-ne-ras de tu ser

Su-fri-mien-to y un la-men-to sur-gen

Due-ño de la e-mo-ción

¿De qué sir-ve po-der te-ner-lo to-do?

Si no te tie-nes a ti

Tu se-cre-to na-ce de tu tum-ba

Ol-ví-da-te de vo-lar

Su-fri-mien-to, sur-ge un la-men-to

Due-ño de la e-mo-ción

He vis-to el mie-do es-con-di-do en tu al-ma

Imá-ge-nes muer-tas, pri-sio-ne-ro de ti

He vis-to el mie-do, en-ce-rra-do en tu al-ma

Imá-ge-nes muer-tas, ¡No po-drás es-ca-par!

Más al-lá de la con-cien-cia

Ha-bi-ta en tu in-te-rior

Una más-ca-ra cie-ga

Ba-jo un te-cho sin fi-nal

Bus-ca den-tro y ar-ran-ca es-e do-lor

Que no te de-ja vi-vir

Es-con-di-da de-trás de un cris-tal

Pe-ro yo te pue-do ver

Una puer-ta es-pe-ra ser a-bier-ta

En-tre tú y la ver-dad

Su-fri-mien-to, sur-ge un la-men-to

¡Due-ño de la e-mo-ción!

He vis-to el mie-do es-con-di-do en tu al-ma

Imá-ge-nes muer-tas, pri-sio-ne-ro de ti

He vis-to el mie-do, en-ce-rra-do en tu al-ma

Imá-ge-nes muer-tas, ¡No po-drás es-ca-par!

Su-fri-mien-to y un la-men-to

Sur-gen due-ño de la e-mo-ción

¿De qué sir-ve po-der te-ner-lo to-do?

¡Si no te tie-nes a ti!

He vis-to el mie-do es-con-di-do en tu al-ma

Imá-ge-nes muer-tas, pri-sio-ne-ro de ti

He vis-to el mie-do, en-ce-rra-do en tu al-ma

Imá-ge-nes muer-tas, ¡No po-drás es-ca-par!
