01. Origin

Music by Charly Carretón, Luismi Heredia
[Instrumental]

02. Beyond The Chains

Music by Charly Carretón, Luismi Heredia
Lyrics by Irene Villegas
After spending thousands on this thick fog
Having lost the ability to think for myself
At last I had the courage to shout
And I began to dream with it

The only way to keep my freedom is to be willing to die for it.

When I get to gather forces
When I get to win what keeps me here
When I'll fight as a warrior
I'll find the way beyond the chains

I must rise to the horizon
To get what I deserve
And not to be afraid of the battle

The future is waiting for me to do it, do it

When I get to gather forces
When I get to win what keeps me here
When I'll fight as a warrior
I'll find the way beyond the chains, beyond the chains!

When I get to gather forces
When I get to win what keeps me here
When I'll fight as a warrior
I'll find the way?

When I get to gather forces
When I get to win what keeps me here
The only way to keep my freedom
I'll find it beyond the chains!

03. Through The End Of Times

Music by Charly Carretón, Luismi Heredia
Lyrics by Mary Jiménez
This timeless story through the end of times
Where my love was so great that I had to cross borders
And eras

From a world of battles until this cold reality
I hope you come back
A lifetime with you makes sense of this eternal curse

I was born to meet you and miss you
Seek you and fi nd you
There's no life enough to dream
Nor is there time to love you
To comfort the life that you leave
When you're gone

What is my price to pay to live forever?
In view over the years if you are not by my side
And that helps me see the birth of life
If I don't have you in my hands, in my hands

I was born to meet you and miss you
Seek you and find you
There's no life enough to dream
Nor is there time to love you
To comfort the life that you leave
When you're gone

Once again, I failed again
In breaking this curse that will never end?
Hating my immortality!

I was born to meet you and miss you
Seek you and find you
There's no life enough to dream
Nor is there time to love you
To comfort the life that you leave
When you're gone

Past, present and future are in you
I'll fight for our eternity
Through the end of times

04. Firebird's Flight

Music by Charly Carretón, Luismi Heredia
Lyrics by Irene Villegas
Born from the sun he flies over the dawn
Where he drinks the dew that the world gives
His plumage revives the chilly day

Heard is his song. (x4)

Looking down, generates tears
To heal the pain of the world
While building the nest of his setting
Every five-hundred years he reaches it

Heard is his song. (x4)

Time came established, heard is his crying
With stars his sacred history is completed
With his wings fanned the fire
His courage was thrown inside
From his own ashes so revive
And firebird's flying is undertaken again

The same creature is born
Younger and stronger resumes the road
He shines again in his desert and returns home

He is unique and eternal as the soul of each one

Heard is his song as an anthem
His history and soul will be ancient

Time came established, heard is his crying
With stars his sacred history is completed

With his wings fanned the fire
His courage was thrown inside
From his own ashes so revive
And firebird's flying is undertaken again

With his wings fanned the fire
His courage was thrown inside
From his own ashes so revive
The firebird's flight has already started

05. When Words Kill

Music by Charly Carretón, Luismi Heredia
Lyrics by Mary Jiménez
[I: Trapped]

Trapped in the world around me
Starts one more day
In which my body refuses to wake
To survive this life

I take strength to walk
In this emptiness that makes me cry
And to think that this nightmare will end
And that someday I will achieve living in peace

I don't know if it's a punishment
For what's inside of me
For not being what they expect me to be
I need to understand how I am supposed to be
To achieve happiness

[II: Born To Fail]

Who are you in fact? It's worthless
You understand that without your appearance, you are worthless
Be aware of those around you
Since they'll betray you when least expected

You were not the first
Other lives have been destroyed already
The game continues
Architect of this game and his own stage

Look at your own reflection
And it will tell you that the world
Is just an illusion you once created
That never happened, cause you're nothing
And you will never be cause you were born to fail

We'll break your fantasy of hope
You are just a toy without history or truth
In the hands of perfection

Look at your own reflection
And it will tell you that the world
Is just an illusion you once created
That never happened, cause you're nothing
And you will never be cause you were born to fail

[III: Thoughts (Instrumental)]

[IV: Disappear In My Sad End]

I can't take anymore
My biggest fear has taken over me
You pushed me into this hollow
Where they become stronger

There are no more flames to overcome on my way
Is the moment of my sad end

While I disappear in memories,
Memories that no one will think about

There are no more flames to overcome on my way
Is the moment of my sad end

[V: Achieve Happiness]

I don't know if it's a punishment
For what's inside of me
For not being what they expect me to be
I need to understand how I am supposed to be
To achieve happiness

I don't know if it's a punishment
For what's inside of me
For not being what they expect me to be
I need to understand how I am supposed to be
To achieve happiness

"Only true people shine on their own,
never let the evil of darkness turn them off again.
Just loving our inside we will find peace"

06. Glory

Music by Charly Carretón, Luismi Heredia
Lyrics by Mary Jiménez
When I feel the pain
On my skin for all the blows
When my temples burst with anger
For giving you all that I had
It's when I'm stronger
To tell you how I feel
And to show you who I could become

You laugh at the effort that has ripped part of my life
And that someday will lead me to victory

I am where I deserve to be not thanks to your help
But to a work you cannot even imagine

When you miss me
Remember that at some point I've been there
And you didn't value me

Those who stood here one day
Had let me down
And you keep trying to sink me
But I always continue rising

I don't care about your looks
You are nobody to me
You have taught me
That there will always be jealousy

Those who stood here one day
Had let me down
And you keep trying to sink me
But I always continue rising

Now it's me who doesn't want you with me
Now you walk alone on your own way!

Those who stood here one day
Had let me down
And you keep trying to sink me
But I always continue rising

You were willing to tear down my effort
That is what brought me glory
You tried to leve me with hatred
That's all you know

07. The Crusade

Music by Charly Carretón, Luismi Heredia
[Instrumental]

08. God Of Deads

Music by Charly Carretón, Luismi Heredia
Lyrics by Irene Villegas
In red and black sands of ancient world
Lays the land of the dead
Where only his Lord can guide the resurrection

Your trial will begin in the last day
Your heart like a feather must weigh
Or the end will come

Tonight, the hell will shine and the heaven will burn
My decision will lead you to sleep

God of deads!

Have you committed iniquity? I haven't committed iniquity
Have you betrayed the truth? I haven't betrayed the truth
Have you caused suffering? I haven't caused suffering
Have you benefited the evil? I haven't benefited the evil

Your trial will begin in the last day
Your heart like a feather must weigh
Or the end will come

Tonight, the hell will shine and the heaven will burn
My decision will lead you to sleep

God of deads! (x2)

Your trial will begin in the last day
Your heart like a feather must weigh
Or the end will come

Tonight, the hell will shine and the heaven will burn
My decision will lead you to sleep

09. Cross Eternity

Music by Charly Carretón, Luismi Heredia
Lyrics by Irene Villegas
What is this I feel
That press my chest
Draws me a smile
And take me out a tear?
What is it that everyone feels?

But both it's forgotten?
What is that for battles are done
And so are written the greatest stories?

With a joy cloud the air is enveloped

Believing that heaven fits into a gaze
Dreaming this timeless story to cross eternity

You feel the world stops
To leave a life under your feet
There are no limits or chains you cannot break

Without gravity, makes you dream as if it was your last day

Believing that heaven fits into a gaze
Dreaming this timeless story to cross eternity

Believing that heaven fits into a gaze
Dreaming this timeless story to cross eternity

10. Shadows In My Head

Music by Charly Carretón, Luismi Heredia
Lyrics by Mary Jiménez
I open my eyes and I just see
The storm of a place
I don't know
My mind tries to think
How I got here
But I cannot remember...

Where am I?

I don't understand
This is not my site
They keep me here without escape
I don't know who you are
But let go back with those who wait for me
Release me, release me!

Who are you?
Those strangers around me
Where's my life?
They create a life that's not mine
They don't stop talking to me
Have I lost it?

Why am I here?

I don't understand
This is not my site
They keep me here without escape
I don't know who you are
But let go back with those who wait for me
Release me, release me!

I don't understand
But it doesn't matter
Shadows in my head tell me
That nothing will be like before
I only see darkness
This empty story every morning will revive

11. Critical Situation

Music by Charly Carretón, Luismi Heredia
Lyrics by Rosa Villalta
Critical situation, clutter everywhere
Well it seems that the world
Is of the wealthy potentates
Blind without poles, sick of ambitions
Pied piper of Hamelin that no one wants to follow

Who has sown fear
Has an awful name
Called power, and greedy surname
But we must not allow them
Steal the most valuable thing: freedom

They have the power
Have the skillet by the handle
And his friends in pen and ink
Phonies by profession, wizards of speculation

Don't be afraid, because fear paralyzes
Now it's time to walk and not look back
Do our best, take a step forward
To leave our children a planet
Where they can live
An inheritance without mortgage
The freedom that you worked hard to achieve

"Lying is like one of those viruses
That poison the environment
The society and the air becomes pernicious
Hard to breathe, hard to breathe"

But you know What? You can escape the lie
Because lying is imaginary
Artifice of his own stage
It numbs our fighting spirit
Giving us the tranquility amid

Don't be afraid, because fear paralyzes
Now it's time to walk and not look back
Do our best, take a step forward
To leave our children a planet
Where they can live
An inheritance without mortgage
The freedom that you worked hard to achieve

We must evolve
On a scale of values
And not to frightend the oppressors
We have to convince "those who rule"
Stop being a "worm"
And become butterflies

"Let's stop mourning, let's seek solutions
Now or never is the time to be in front of them
To ask what we need and be finally heard
We have the strength and courage
To create your own reality
And guide it to reach happiness"
