A Life and A Memory: Espiritus Y Corazones
A life
A life
Before the wave of genocide
Before the reign of terror
That stole so many lives that scarred them too
A memory
A memory
That latches on and never lets go
The separations, the hope that was lost
How you want, how you wish to forgive, to forget
But never will.
A life, A memory
A life, A memory
Before the wave of genocide, that latches on and never lets go
Before the reign of terror, the separations- the hope that was lost
That stole so many lives that scarred them too. How you want, how you wish to forgive, to forget.
But never will.
Un espiritu
Un espiritu
Solito en la oscuridad
Perdido Y esperando
Un espiritu traumado
Que quieren tanto ser libre
Un corazon
Un corazon
Latiendo Pero no sintiendo
Que ha querido Y herido
Un Corazon afectado
Que saben tanto que no Podran irse
Un espiritu, un Corazon
Un espiritu, un Corazon
Solito en la oscuridad, latiendo pero no sintiendo
Perdido Y esperando, que ha querido Y herido
Un espiritu traumado, Un Corazon afectado
