lyrics

This is my last call to your understanding
Darkness, umbra, shade and light bending
Recover, take over, they cover, their clovers
Emotion, slow motion, the night – commotion

É tanta a dor e frustração que pesa.
É muita oração, fé e reza
Por mais questões que a mim me coloque
Acabo só à espera que sufoque

Sleep in coma for the rest of your time
Wife and son crying as I rhyme
Since the day you went I never lived again
Now I’m (here) alone, empty and filled with pain

A esperança é a última a morrer, tanto que ficou por entender

(chorus)
I ride my soul in this asphalt ashtray
I save all my goals as they start to fade… they fade away

São tantas as dúvidas que persistem
São tantos os cavalos que resistem
O alcatrão que todos querem sentir
Mais um clarão que o fado vai tingir

The wheels roll hard above the pavement they tag
Then a man soon becomes a fulfilled body bag
A dark rainbow shines as the healthiest cancer
Two shots, one bullet thru a Siamese dancer
It’s a death penalty for the unconscious animal
Who in thirst of adrenaline has turned into a cannibal
Lifes stolen, taken, robbed and thrown away
Lost and forgotten, served on a cemetery’s tray

A esperança é a última a morrer, tanto que ficou por entender

(solo : Nuno)

I write my soul every time night turns to gray
I save all my goals today as they fade away
