"Primordium / The Skeptic Beholder"
Decaying we are falling in this course of life
among their solid structures, as thread of knife
we seek all the responses between trash and lies
but no one has the answer about live to die.
I feel kind of weird, something’s going on
estrange is to survive in this paradox
the prophecy take shape, saving none
evolution and advance, the unorthodox…
… The skeptic beholder.
Love brings the glaze of light within my heart
so tripping and so inspired as form of art
to reveal me that existence is something simple
to reveal me the distance of worlds apart.
Only you can see my secrets, know my reasons
only you I trust in this changing season
litigation and pride, will we surpass?
only you know why, why am I…
… The skeptic beholder.
To emancipate this whole world
we shall breakdown to take control.
Regenerate our inner selves
wash our souls and save ourselves.
Too much surrender shall bring us suffering
we must stop being used and end the hurting…
… An open eye it’s an open mind
we are slaughtering our own kind!
We are the skeptics, we are the blind
the right direction is hard to find.
We make a stand, we make it bind,
to be in the end another slave to the grind!...
I’ve come to grief in this ethnic world
happiness and joy beyond grasp
my strength’s hidden in the gale of cold
conviction and sense… In harsh.
No, you can’t save me my love from this profound ditch
my chest hurts every minute, it won’t switch
courage it’s a virtue of the minor being
but I’m just too divided for what I’ve seen…
… The skeptic beholder.

"Noah"
Noah my beloved, tyrants are rising over thee.
Are you the lamb of God?
Unprotected and colors you see…
Noah my beloved, no one like you and for me,
you are older than God!
Experient and wise shall you see.
Noah my beloved, evil in you - sadness in me.
You’re the queen of sympathy,
I crave thee like the air that I need.
Cruelty you witch!
Burning me in the passionate fire.
I dream with you bitch,
With your flesh and your endless desire.
Violence, ambition, virulence, within your fears.
Soreness, dolour, affliction, bringing your tears.
Sodden, onerous, ponderous, the weight of your heart.
Infinite, unending, boundless, my love for thee!...
Noah my beloved, your essence halcyon that I need!
Visions of the white dove, calmness and tranquility.
Noah my beloved, structure of a man as a being.
In my heart I feel your presence,
in your eyes the eternity…
Noah my beloved, your pain as a stormy sky.
Venom in my veins, is your anger poisoning my mind?!
I’m at war with you sorceress!
Earth shall tremble as the angels die.
Whom shall fall away the fortress?
In your tears an ocean of whys…

"A Shape Of Space & Time"
Let's start with a blast, thirtenn billion years ago
of the primeval atom, when existence was low.
Extends through the void, creating the planets and stars
the Universe took form, with suns as norm...
I see clearly a shape of space & time...
My spirit wanders, I bring worlds in my mind...
I believe in a shape of space & time...
Atoms, molecules, all interconnected
we make part of the Universe, cosmic law in our being
from the incandescent nucleus of the stars
to fragments of our flesh, all the same thing.
The chemistry of life is present as a legacy
biologically linked, to earth chemically
what's the shape has the cosmos? "Figure it out", is not easy
stuck to the Universe, atomically...
I see clearly a shape of space & time...
My spirit wanders, I bring worlds in my mind...
I believe in a shape of space & time...
The chemistry of life,
through a vast sea of sorrow.
Into the void we dive,
through the space deep and hollow.
There is a reason why,
for everything we chase and follow.
Fire's burning in the sky,
worlds shall be colliding tomorrow!
Let's finish with a blast, thirtenn billion years ago
of the primeval atom, when existence was low.
Extends through the void, creating the planets and stars
the Universe took form, with suns as norm...
I see clearly a shape of space & time...
My spirit wanders, I bring worlds in my mind...
I believe in a shape of space & time...

"F. M. I. (Ratos De Porão)"
Quando eles resolverem nos cobrar
nosso território nós teremos que doar.
Nossa dívida externa não há jeito de pagar…
Não!
O Dólar aumenta e a nossa dívida também,
o Dólar aumenta e a nossa dívida também.
Não há jeito de pagar!
Não adianta se desculpar.
O F. M. I. não está nem aí!

"Era de Noite e Levaram (José Afonso)"
Era de noite e levaram, era de noite e levaram
quem nesta cama dormia, nela dormia, nela dormia…
Sua boca amordaçaram, sua boca amordaçaram
com panos de seda fria, de seda fria, de seda fria…
Era de noite e roubaram, era de noite e roubaram
o que nesta casa havia, na casa havia, na casa havia…
Só corvos negros ficaram, só corvos negros ficaram
dentro da casa vazia, casa vazia, casa vazia…
Rosa branca rosa fria, rosa branca rosa fria
na boca da madrugada, da madrugada, da madrugada…
Hei-de plantar-te um dia, hei-de plantar-te um dia
sobre o meu peito queimada, na madrugada, na madrugada…

"Quando Eu Morrer (Xutos & Pontapés)"
Quando eu morrer
não levarei flores pr’o meu buraco.
Porque eu vou morrer
de cancro.
E não se dão flores, e não se dão flores
e não se dão flores a quem morre de cancro...
... Não há tempo.
Ou então vou morrer
cheio de radiação.
Devido a um erro qualquer
sem importância.
Agressão nuclear, agressão nuclear
bem planificada e perfeitamente justa.
E se eu escapar
com vida a tudo isto,
morrerei de fome
comido por um bicho.
E não levarei flores, e não levarei flores
e não levarei flores pr'o meu buraco…

A record of wave-like production and washing, encompassing guitar riffs. It's criminal this hasn't gotten further reach, but it's well worth the purchase.
