Sueños Sobre Un Espejo Lyrics

Walked through the black of the night

Slipped through the ink of the dead

Cocked his beret so the pain in his head left his eyes

And traveled straight to his dreams, his dreams





Wrestled with taking his life

Remembered the land that he farmed

His children's lithe spirits dissolved in his arms, his aching arms

His patience has gone, the fever begins

to burn a vengeance, to brand a life within, it sears, it sears....





To feel the pain, to trust the pain: Tristeza, donde estas?





I woke to a dream about smoke

Suffocation, then laughter, a little, then light,

then the slamming of doors, the hiding in barrels

The acid-gouged face of nostalgia was waiting for fire, for fire





Smashed the window wide, checked for life inside

Found a badge that blared for no one





Whose child is this? Whose home is this? Whose soul is this?





The CAUSE

Pulling amnesia through cases of wine

The amplification of the broad and the narrow and the few left behind

The few left behind

The strength of the sighs of the few left behind





Historia habla siempre de los muertos

Y de las vacas negras con flores rojas

No quiero ser una hormiga en las bocas de los muertos

Aqui tengo el martillo para romper este vidrio brillante

que celebra una cultura muerta





Snapped like a photo in dreams,

the passing of light on a denser reminder of faded extinction

The corners leak, the razing fire

the crimson screams, the bloodless eyes





Smashed the window wide, checked for life inside

Found a badge that blared for no one, no one left...





Cracked through the light,

refracting the flash,

The patience of time,

and peace at last . . .
