Our Cause

Trazos de hielo y niebla

que se esconden

en las pequenas grietas

de mi nombre.

Luz que ilumina el alba

no me ignores;

entre suspiros llamas

mas no se a donde.

El invierno me encuentra delirando

entre flores cubiertas de desencanto,

miedo y llanto.

Mientras el frio corre por mis manos

mi corazon implora:

"hasta cuando?"

[English translation:

Traces of ice and fog, hidden

in the small crevices of my name.

Light of the dawn, don't ignore me;

sighing you call me;

I know not where.

Winter finds me delirious

covered by flowers

of disappointment, fear and tears.

While the cold runs through my hands

my heart cries: "Until when?"]

Sing to me one more time,

turn loose the waking light.

Unleash the sounds that define me

and keep me alive.

And if I fall into despair,

tear down the walls and call my name

to remind me who I am.

Noches que se dilatan lentamente

derrumbando promesas e ilusiones.

Mientras la luna quema el horizonte

la voz de la memoria enmudece.

[English translation:

Nights that slowly dilate

breaking down promises

and illusions.

While the moon burns the horizon,

the voice of memory goes silent.]

Sing to me one more time,

turn loose the waking light.

Unleash the sounds that define me

and keep me alive.

And if I fall into despair,

tear down the walls and call my name

to let me know

that our cause

is never lost,

our song will forever be heard.

Tear off these chains,

tell me my name.
