Cantata del Diablo [English translation]

In the name of the Devil and Belial,

Satan, Lucifer, Astaroth, and Jesus

Nightfall, eternal mist

To hide the light

Cold wasteland, broken and frozen

Tears of the heart

Dreaming the life which I watch die

In fear it is hard to live

Dreams of death, kept awake

Saint's conviction, the crime of faith

In the name of the only religion

We dictate the sentence and condemn you

To the pious purification

Of fire and pain

In the hands of God you must put

Your soul, your possessions and your sins

Accept Christ and commend him

Since soon you will give to him

Devil in Earth, the Lord has sent me

Devil in Earth, the Lord has sent me

I want to be the wind to run from myself

The path of silence mutes the terror

I do not want to die

I will invent myself another life

My dreams I will decorate

And I will cover them with your kisses -it thought-

Burn my soul as well!

Do you deny Satan of your work and your vices?

Of necromancy, magic and tarot?

I am the under the church and its principles

If you do not repent, your soul will be condemned

Today liberty has fallen asleep and silent

Today liberty has closed for death

Today liberty has died of pain and melancholy

Today there is no liberty, today God is not here nor will come here

I want to be forgotten, never to be remembered

I want to be the breeze, and caress life once more

How cold is the promise of another life with God

If he is or not heard from again, the bonfire is your coffin

Before death and the fire does what it should

Do you accept Christ, his church and his power?

Renounce to God, call to Nature?

Earth is only mother

Of sin and terror

Today liberty has fallen asleep and silent

Today liberty has closed for death

Today liberty has died of pain and melancholy

Today there is no liberty, today God is not here nor will come here

In the name of the Devil and Belial,

Satan, Lucifer, Astaroth, and Jesus

Earth, Earth

Today life rains hardship

Drops of desperation

My tears are rivers, veins

The heart is bleeding to death

The memory of a woman

Are the kisses which I recieve

In your lips I live

And in your oblivion I die

Today my tears want to commit suicide

Huddling to die on your skin

They are born dry and thirsty

Today my tears want to die

A promised kiss

Your soul is my voice

I am dead and alive

I am calm, and you are God

Close your eyes and I will take you

Where dreams become songs

Life hurts, I will heal you

Sleep and dream, I cradle you with my voice

Today my tears want to commit suicide

Huddling to die on your skin

They are born dry and thirsty

Today my tears want to die

If your tears want to commit suicide

Keep them because you will cry

Cry oceans of peace

Sleep, for there is no pain!

In the name of liberty

Belief in oneself and in peace

Burn the flags, not religion!

And your God is the song

Composed from the heart

And your country is where your feet take you

Devil in Earth, the Lord has sent me

Devil in Earth, the Lord has sent me

The Lord has sent me

The Devil has sent me

Satan has sent me

Earth

Now finally I am air

And my curse falls

The end of this church will come soon

My voice will awaken

Today liberty has fallen asleep and silent

Today liberty has closed for death

Today liberty has died of pain and melancholy

Today there is no liberty, today God is not here nor will come here

Today liberty has fallen asleep and silent

Today there is no liberty, today God is not here

Today God is not here, today God is not here nor will come!!!!

Our father, of all of us

Of the poor, the homeless

Of the outcast and disadvantaged

Of the disinherited and the owners of misery

Of those who follow you and those who don't believe

Below heaven, there is hell

Below your throne there are wars, hunger, injustice

There is no need to be one and triune

With one who wants to help, enough for us

What is your kingdom?

The Vatican?

The bank?

The political elite?

Our reign is Nigeria,

Ethiopia, Colombia, Hiroshima

Our daily bread is violation

Gender violence, paedophilia

Dictators, climate change

Every day I fall into temptation

No morning where you are not tempted to create a God

Humble, right

A God who is on Earth

In the valleys and rivers

A God who lives in the rain

Who travels through the wind and caresses our soul

A God of the sorrowful and the gay

A human God

A God who does not punish

Who teaches

A God who does not threaten, who protects

Who will lift me up if I fall

Who if I get lost, will give me his hand

A God who does not blame me for mistakes

And who understands if I have doubt

As for that, He gifts me intelligence

To doubt everything

Our father, of all of us

Why have we forgotten?

Our father, blind, deaf and empty

Why have we abandoned you?
