As you are finding your way
Through the troubles of everyday life
No time to stop and think
About the little things
Doing the best you can
To be there for your family
Suddenly, symptoms kick in
As the nightmare awakens from within
Wounded warriors in an unfair fight
Enduring unthinkable pain
Wounded warriors in an unfair fight
So much to lose, so much to gain
Diagnosis, an heavy blow
Anger, tears and denial
Chemotherapy and radiation
Medication that feels like poison
Feeling sick and the fatigue...
While trying to remain positive
Shouting at voices in your own head
That imply that you'll soon be dead
Wounded warriors in an unfair fight
In between hope and despair
Wounded warriors in an unfair fight
Your name in someone's prayer...
In your mind
You never accepted
You had to fight
Until there was no strength
Left in your body
But your heart was full
Filled with love
In your mind
You never accepted
You had to fight
Until there was no strength
Left in your body
But your heart was full
Filled with love
A battle with a faceless enemy
You gave your best
Not enough to be free
Frustration...
Such an empty space
With a bitter taste
The memories you keep
You'll find in the places
You seem to be
Forgotten
Frustration...
Such an empty space
With a bitter taste

This boat... is my home now
I don't know where I'm going... but i know what I'm escaping from
But this life... I tried to fit all the dreams that I had in my heart
But I was weak... I was just too afraid
Sometimes... Sometimes I wonder
Was all this effort...
Sometimes... Sometimes I wonder
Was all this effort in vain
SO MUCH TALK ABOUT HUMAN RIGHTS
BORDERS CLOSED... I CAN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT.
What's illegal?
A family without a shelter is illegal.
Your children starving, that's illegal
Profiting with suffering that’s illegal
Every single war should be illegal
What cannot be illegal
Is a human being
Sometimes... Sometimes I wonder
Was all this effort...
Sometimes... Sometimes I wonder
Was all this effort in vain
Dreams drowned in the sea
Far from the media, where no one can see.
Roaming the sea, we arrive in this land
People look at us in a strange way
Freedom is decided in an office
forgetting the faces, ignoring the coffins
You are legal everywhere you go
there's no border that can say no
What's wrong?
What's wrong with this world?
Sometimes... Sometimes I wonder
Was all this effort...
Sometimes... Sometimes I wonder
Was all this effort in vain

Love Letter

This is a love letter...
"I still remember the first day when we met
The love we had, the words we said
We made our plans and promises...
You and me against the world, till the end of time
I still get chills, every time I think about it
But then..." yes, then... there was silence... Silence!
Let's cut the crap and say out loud what your real life has been?
The more you hide, harder it gets.
You started to avoid your friends, burning bridges around you
It only brought isolation
Leaving all your personal projects aside, they never fitted in
Putting your life on hold
Controlling your social networks, checking your phone and even your email...
This violence has to stop!
No matter what we say, we still live in a sexist society
Between four walls of silence
They always see the ones in the corner, the most fragile and weak
Dominion over the meek
Choking someone till they pass out, spitting all forms of abuse
A trail of blood and humiliation
And when they get home, they force their partner to go against their will
Unconsensual sex is rape!
And when you thought it was over... things tend to move in circles...
wounded inside... wounded outside...
Love led to submission... A spiral out of control...
A life of fear... A life of pain...
All was washed away, ALL WAS WASHED AWAY
No freedom... no self respect...
All was washed away, ALL WAS WASHED AWAY
No dignity... no self-esteem...

Unwanted Change

While we keep thinking this is a great place to live
and we are not willing to address the issues of society
we're all pretending that we have a life of our own
we’re all pretending that we have a life...
When you're forced to move abroad there is something wrong
Broken families connected through a skype call
No memories to match the photos. The distance. The absence.
What about the impact of these broken bonds?
Your family, your friends everything you... LEFT BEHIND
Your habits, your plans, everything got... LEFT BEHIND
Your life on hold in a storage room
Our lives, on hold in a storage room
Please don't, get me wrong.
When you're seeking a new goal.
If you have that ambition.
Those are options! but we are forced to...
Learn a new language because it might come handy
While you keep thinking where's the best place to go...
Why should you get a degree in your own country?
If you only gonna get a chance abroad?
When you're forced to move abroad there is something wrong
Broken families virtually connected through a skype call
No memories to match the photos. The distance. The absence.
What about the impact of these broken bonds?
Your family, your friends everything you... LEFT BEHIND
Your habits, your plans, everything got... LEFT BEHIND
Your life on hold in a storage room
Our lives, on hold, in a storage room
Your life in a storage room, on hold in a storage room
Our lives in a storage room, on hold in a storage room

No Blood Left

...and what really pisses me off
Is that you never commit to anything
Just living your average life devoid of feelings,
You're dead
I'd rather see you crashing into a wall
Unveiling the battle scars of a lifetime
At least we would know what you're made of...
At least we would know what you're made of!
I'd rather, hate you, for your wrong questions
Than just, watching you say, yes to everything
Create a state of mind of your own
Live your life, till there's no blood left!
For at least, once in your life
Don't be the one, in the middle
You’re just wasting your time
Left, right, challenge yourself
Do you wanna be like everyone else?
You never wanted to choose between
The red and the blue pill afraid of getting lost
You never wanted to choose between
The red and the blue pill afraid of getting burned
Be yourself, be always yourself
Não te anules, nao te escondas
Get out there
Out of your comfort zone
Exposed to uncertainty
TAKE THE RISK!
TAKE THE RISK! - rebel, refuse - feeling alive...
TAKE THE RISK!
TAKE THE RISK! - rebuild, resist - feeling alive...
Those scars will mark you, will leave you
With memories inside
Something you will never live
If you keep wasting your time
Left, right, challenge yourself
Do you wanna be like everyone else?
You never wanted to choose between
The red and the blue pill afraid of getting lost
You never wanted to choose between
The red and the blue pill afraid of getting burned
Are you afraid of, committing yourself?
Are you afraid of, committing yourself?
Cause if you keep on playing safe
You are already losing...
Always keep on learning
Knowledge will never hurt you
Instead it will take you to places
Your mind has never been to
We don't always have to agree
Different sides of the story I dare to see
Set them side by side
Integrity will bring out the best in you
Don't even try to be on both sides
You're just lying to yourself
Don't even try to be on both sides
You're just lying to yourself
DARE TO LIVE!
DARE TO LIVE!
NOW!

It’s so hard, it’s so hard to accept reality
Can’t deal with the sadness within me
Frustration. Despair. Desolation.
Trapped in this grim situation
What more can I do?
Every second millions of animals are killed and exploited: in the meat industry, in bullfights, in zoos, in dairy farms, in animal testing, in fishing, in rodeos, in fur farms, in circuses... THIS MUST END!
The smiling animals in the ads
Are nothing but smoke screens
For what really happens
See beyond the bullshit. See beyond the lies.
Break free from cruel habits. Open up your eyes!
Go Vegan!
What most people see as a “necessity”
Is nothing more than
Unnecessary exploitation
What more can do?
The smiling animals in the ads
Are nothing but smoke screens
For what really happens
See beyond the bullshit. See beyond the lies.
Break free from cruel habits. Open up your eyes!
Go Vegan!
But let's face it, I used to be that way too. I was raised eating animals, using them as resources and seeing them as objects. This society based on the exploitation of the vulnerable conditioned us since day one. Culture, traditions and peer pressure push us into accepting the unacceptable. The unimaginable. There is another way, I live it every day.
WE LIVE IT EVERYDAY!
WE CHOOSE TO LIVE VEGAN!
But I find hope in every new face I see
Embracing this struggle and
Fighting right next to me!
There’s something you can do!
Every time you choose to make
a positive impact on the world,
we’re one step closer to our common goal
Every time you choose to make
a positive impact on the world,
we’re one step closer to our common goal
ANIMAL LIBERATION!
FREEDOM FOR ALL!
