Music by Maurício Guimarães, Renato Domingos
[Instrumental]

02. Echoes from the River

Music & lyrics by Maurício Guimarães, Renato Domingos
Slaves we are and will always be
Slaves of our own destiny
They came from the sea, I truly believe
This land they will never... leave!

Invaders of my home, disturbers of my peace
Uninvited guests, the bringers of disease
The ashes turn to powder, the breathing turns to grief
Liar after liar, we own the truth to keep

Run to the trees... and hide!
The darkness is my friend
My enemies won't find me
We are roots buried in the land
So watch your steps
For when you least expect
We shall rise again

History is written by the ones who win
I will erase all those false memories
I remember what you've said and what I've seen
The echoes from the past will whisper in your dreams

Tonight!
The darkness is my friend
My enemies won't find me
We are roots buried in the land
So watch your steps
For when you least expect
We shall rise again

Again!

Order to the reign, the new dynasty begins
Autonomous zones raising up from the abyss
Independence by death, no more secrets to keep
We gather tonight to rebuild monarchy

As it should be...
A new begin...
Reconquer confidence
Spreading the seeds...

Tonight!
The darkness is my friend
My enemies won't find me
We are roots buried in the land
So watch your steps
For when you least expect
We shall rise again

Tonight!
The darkness is my friend
My enemies won't find me
We are roots buried in the land
So watch your steps
For when you least expect
We shall rise again

03. Queen Mary Insane

Music & lyrics by Maurício Guimarães, Renato Domingos
Queen Mary, I claim
Hear the calling
I feel your pain
Let me in!

Queen Mary, I say
It's a warning
Dig your own grave, it shall
Set you free...

Queen Mary, they say
You've gone crazy
What can I say?
Come with me!

The one to blame
Lives inside your brain (Play my game)

Madness is my name (Queen Mary... insane)

Madness is my name (Queen Mary)

Queen Mary insane
Don't you dare to
Disobey
Stay with me!

Until your death
You will serve me
Scream for me
Queen Mary!

Madness is my name (Madness is my name)
Madness is my name (Madness is my name)
Madness is my name (Queen Mary... insane)

04. Canudos

Music & lyrics by Maurício Guimarães, Renato Domingos
Dry is the land...
Dry is the land...
Dry is the land...

Where the church needs wood
And the saints are men
The cross we hold in hands
We chant the holy songs in the face of death
Run, run, soldier run
If you have legs run, run, run
Who wants to stay? Who wants to fight?
You may stay but you will surely die
Poems will be written. The republic will be heard
The land will lie in ruins always burned by the sun

San Sebastian. San Sebastian will not return
Why should we wait here for the day?

Staring at the sky forever
Waiting for the rain to fall
How much time it doesn't matter
We'll wait for the rain to fall

Over our heads the silence will end
The cross and the drought rule the land
Welcome to the resistance come
Welcome to the resistance come
Send them away!

Tell me how the story ends
Dry their bones. No graves for them

Through certain death the silence did end
The mob and the cross rule the land
Welcome to the resistance come
Welcome to the resistance come

After the fight a new day shall. It shall arise
Dust to dust. Dust to sand. And dry is the land...

05. Armahda

Music & lyrics by Maurício Guimarães, Renato Domingos
They hushed our voices. Twice we bled
They swore allegiance and we won't forget
History repeats itself. The land and sea
Through the storms shall duel

Behind the curtain the marshal stands
With fake patriots under command
Their cannons are facing the end

Moments of glory. We'll always remember
Marines are about to conquer. Tyrants will fall
Our nation will stand tall
We shall pass. It's Armahda!

The power drew him away from the light
Yes, I could see it through his eyes
The Sentinel, he was to meant to lead
But it's our fate. We own the seas

Come ride the waves. Prepare the ships
No turning back, attack, resist
Leave us or join our side

Moments of glory. We'll always remember
Marines are about to conquer. Tyrants will fall
Our nation will stand tall
We shall pass. It's Armahda!

"Agonia, peste e miséria
Mentiras de almirantes que afundam a nação
Os que outrora lutam ao meu lado
Falam em liberdade. E eu lhes digo...Não!"

Moments of glory. We'll always remember
Marines are about to conquer. Tyrants will fall
Our nation will stand tall
We shall pass. It's Armahda!

06. Flags in the Wind

Music & lyrics by Maurício Guimarães, Renato Domingos
Listen to me - It's not just a fable
This is the land where flags stand high
Now you must know
It's here we choose to die

Flames in the north. Spears in the south
The first volunteers to join the crowd.
Bring back the ashes of the old emperor now

We shall remain. No moving from here
Nothing to loose as no one to fear

Hear the call - Brazilian avengers
This is my army - To die is to win
We'll always march. Never surrender
Come raise your flags in the wind

No matters the end. Hearts become legends
Hearts that bleed yellow, hearts that bleed green
Colours our banner to make it not a dream
But real!

Our blood melts chains, cages, fears
No freedom for me but freedom at all
This history we just write here, right now

We shall remain. No moving from here
Nothing to loose as no one to fear

Hear the call - Brazilian avengers
This is my army - To die is to win
We'll always march. Never surrender
Come raise your flags in the wind

07. Paiol em Chamas

Music & lyrics by Maurício Guimarães, Renato Domingos
Lembro do que aconteceu muitos anos atrás
Servindo em fronteiras do sul até Minas Gerais
Cavalos corriam temendo o estrondo voraz
Todo o regimento sabia: era tarde demais

Mais um paiol em chamas!
Seis dias a explodir
Mais um paiol em chamas!
E meus ouvidos não param de zunir

Com tal ironia o destino zombara de nós
A pólvora de nossas armas, o súbito algoz
Relâmpagos e fogo! O céu a se manifestar
Na explosão insana

Mais um paiol em chamas!
Seis dias a explodir
Mais um paiol em chamas!
Seus ouvidos não param de zunir

Fugimos levando as lembranças daquele lugar
Trouxemos somente o que o corpo pôde carregar
Perigo no abismo, enxofre e poeira no ar
E hoje eu assisto um novo paiol a queimar

Mais um paiol em chamas!
Seis dias a explodir
Mais um paiol em chamas!
Seus ouvidos não param de zunir

Mais um paiol em chamas!
Seis dias a explodir
Mais um paiol em chamas!
Seus ouvidos não param de zunir

08. Matinta

Music & lyrics by Maurício Guimarães, Renato Domingos
In every whistle darker turns the night
In every whistle darker turns the night

That's right

She wants your smoke
Fulfil the promise
She haunts your home
The old winged lady witch

Let us rest tonight. At dawn you'll get
Your smoke, your right to haunt some more

In every whistle darker turns the night
In every whistle darker turns the night

Don't you forget to bring
What you've promised
Don't you forget

The night invites the shadow to learn
Deny her request, peace will not last
Don't turn

Don't turn yourself away

Who wants?...
Who wants?...
Who wants?...
Who wants?...
What she offers to you

Let us rest tonight. At dawn you'll get
Your smoke, your right to haunt some more

In every whistle darker turns the night
In every whistle darker turns the night

09. Spears of Freedom

Music & lyrics by Maurício Guimarães, Renato Domingos
Save these lands or watch them die
Break the chains. Join the fight!

1836. The army of the black spearmen
Remember the warriors of these lands

True hero's tears unchain my soul
The price for freedom now we know

Ride through the fields
Where they fought to the end
Long live the Bravery
The Black Spearmen
Spears of freedom rise

Injustice. Find the betrayers
We had no chance
But you could have saved us

True hero's tears unchain my soul
The price for freedom. Now we know

Ride through the fields
Where they fought to the end
Long live the Bravery
The Black Spearmen
Spears of freedom rise

Um, dois, três, vai!

Ride through the fields
Where they fought to the end
Long live the Bravery
The Black Spearmen
Spears of freedom rise

Save these lands or watch them die
Break the chains. Join the fight!

10. Uiara

Music & lyrics by Maurício Guimarães, Renato Domingos
Near the wild river she was born
Amazon, the river Amazonas
The most precious entity of all
Legends of the north

Once I met her, now she's gone
But I can't forget her song
So I'll find the third bank of the river
It's her home

Hear me now. I call your name
I'll pay the price: my life
Show yourself. This is my fate
Drown my soul

This time I won't run
I'll have my rest when you come
If you come

I will wait for you in the river
In the river I wait
Every night and every day
My path is settled anyway
I will wait

So long is the night
Long is the night. Long is the night
(Long is the day). So don't be late

I will wait for you in the river
In the river I wait
Every night and every day
My path is settled anyway
I will wait

11. The Iron Duke

Music & lyrics by Maurício Guimarães, Renato Domingos
March! March! March!

Retreat - The bridge is a trap
Under the fire these troops won't last
The Bridge - No place to go
A trap - Is it the end?
The troop awaits the duke command

And so - Behold
The Iron Duke marches on and on

Advance - I can't
My troops will be damned!
Old fool - Don't you understand?
You will fall. Go ahead
Your hope only brings despair

But the Iron Duke cannot be defeated
He marches on and on
His voice, the sound of the drums
His horse, fear and pain
Even the thunder fears his name

And so - Behold
The Iron Duke marches on and on

Attack, attack. Don't you look back
Beware. Jump in the fire
We dare. Could we survive the bridge of despair?
We can. Trust the Iron Duke
We dare. Follow his troops. Remember
The day we crossed the bridge of despair

And so - Behold
The Iron Duke marches on and on

12. What Could Never Be

Music & lyrics by Maurício Guimarães, Renato Domingos
A long time ago
When the world was still young
When the trees could grow high
Far beyond the blue sky
The lightning could guide me through journeys
That era is gone but still lives in mind

Nature was under control
The oceans were mine and peace
I could find in those rhymes
But they're gone. I'll never know why
So I cursed the day and the night

Time to the dark come to light
And the truth to arise to unmake all the rules
You thought were right
I'm revealing tonight what so few had foreseen
The last chance for the world
What could never be

Don't turn your back on this reality
The mob is on march for their own destiny
They march for food and water. Some believe
Redemption is coming and God is returning
The end of it all is ahead

The ark is ready, friends, welcome in
Your kind will be safe although
The mob we will leave
I have been waiting for eternities
So don't disappear in time
Take your place or I'll leave you behind

Time to the dark come to light
And the truth to arise to unmake all the rules
You thought were right
I'm revealing tonight what so few had foreseen
The last chance for the world
What could never be

13. Pathfinder

Music & lyrics by Maurício Guimarães, Renato Domingos
In fact it feels so strange
To the arms of death I finally came
To hell I sent them all but I found
And with my precious I will fall

Let me tell you how

My entire life, my journey
A search through this land
A hunter of men I am the slavery servant
A tool to hunt and kill
Comply with my orders
Or my rage you will fear

Hunger, betrayal and murder followed me
The flag must be stand. Explorers of the land
We crossed the valleys and the hills
In the heart of the backwoods the treasure
Would be revealed

I heard of the legend from the savages
The mountain range resplends in my dreams
Astonishing and dangerous it seems to be
They knew the secret, now it belongs to me!
Two-hundred Indians, will take me there
It is all I need for my journey to begin

Up to the north is where we go
And through the way the river flows
Ready to strike, our hearts are cold
Ohh the journey leads to the unknown

To the unknown
To the unknown, To the unknown
Beware of whom you follow
To the unknown
To the unknown, To the unknown
To the north is where we go

Even you my bastard son
The riot, the madness has begun
The months will pass, the years be gone
The precious emeralds are there, I'm sure
I have no mercy, hang him up

Death is coming near but I don't care
We have to go and you shall come
With me and there ain't no choice
We'll keep... searching!

To the north I'll ride (with the river that flows)
I don't care if I die
(through the unknown we'll go)
For the glory (no more) (No glory!)
For the stones (yes the stones)
For the stones I cursed their souls

So you've betrayed your father my son
Shame on you (you) won't be heard
I will tie your arms,
By your legs hang you up
In the river of death you will die
It's a lesson to learn

Up to the north is where we go
And through the way the river flows
Ready to strike, our hearts are cold
Ohh the journey leads to the unknown

To the unknown
To the unknown, To the unknown
Beware of whom you follow
To the unknown
To the unknown, To the unknown
To the north is where we go
