Woodland 02:14
Nature surrounds me in all it’s majesty And I’m overwhelmed by the simplicity It’s blood follows down into Warriors peek The buildings burn and I cannot speak Ooh the ghosts around me… Ooh they’re buried deep… Ooh they’re all around me… Ooh Into the bleak I walk through the woods, the trees are like fire And I walk, I walk and I walk The willows whisper long wanted desires And I talk to them, I talk The rage for all the lost, comes to me in my tears The forest demands vengeance for all these years Their screams were forgotten, but now they shall remember The peace of the forest in this last cold December Ooh the ghosts around me… Ooh they’re buried deep… Ooh they’re all around me… Ooh Into the bleak I walk through the woods, the trees are like fire And I walk, I walk and I walk The willows whisper long wanted desires And I talk to them, I talk

Instintx 01:52
Quando olho para trás e vejo os meus defeitos Não quero mais definições nem mais conceitos Porque eu não sou só um/uma guerreirx, Eu sou um ser humano! Tenho medos e problemas emocionais, Por deste sistema insano Mas os anos passam e ainda estou aqui Sem rumo, selvagem, e ainda sou assim. Vamos todxs voltar à infância Para vivermos de outro modo Vamos todxs partir a rotina E começar esta merda de novo A vida foi feita para termos problemas? Ou morrer a lutar contra os seus esquemas As cidades são demasiado grandes Ou eu sou demasiadx pequenx Se nas veias delxs só corre dinheiro Nas minhas só corre veneno (x2) Vamos todos voltar à infância Para vivermos de outro modo Vamos todos partir a rotina E começar esta merda de novo

Tot el que deies, que no es podria fer en aquesta ciutat, Tot el que creies, ho estem fent en centres socials. I si arriaba la carta amb grups d'afinitat s'ideara com resistir, quan els hagin fet fora, entraran a l'edifici del davant. I si venen amb màquines, amb intenció d'enderrocar, on no hi hagi edifici, i faran un hort urbà. Tot el que deies, que no es podria fer en aquesta ciutat. Tot el que creies ho estem fent en centres socials

We are all witches, awaiting our execution They tried to take over our bodies and situation But they can’t silence this scream Let’s smash the patriarchy! Stripped down of all privileges When we roam towards anarchy And all of my life, I’ve been suffocating on tear gas And all my friends, they’re all wearing black masks But none of that matters if we don’t respect each other If we’re going to build a new world, we need to do it together Apathy is death, apathy is their tool Not caring about others isn’t fucking cool It isn’t my revolution if I can’t have my identity It isn’t my revolution if it’s not through solidarity Between projects, between homes Between people singing songs And all of my life, I’ve been suffocating on tear gas And all my friends, they’re all wearing black masks But none of that matters if we don’t respect each other If we’re going to build a new world, we need to do it together

The Downfall 03:22
I will stay with you until the end Will die with a sword in my hand Oh my love, the end It follows me to sleep A call to the mountains deep Lost in legends In the concrete A cabin lost, to never be found A secret outside of their towns They won't find us here, no they won’t find us here And when I die Lay my body in the river In a pire of fire, like my ancestors did A sweet story I will tell you When my eyes close into rest We will meet in that utopia All our lives are such a mess The sound of sirens fills the air Swallow the ground in such despair Their machines will kill us all But not before their downfall And please think about me In that train that you will take A ll the stones that we threw In that bridge across this lake You asked me as I remember Will you break the law with me? And quite nicely, did I awser Let's go burn their factories A sweet story I will tell you When my eyes close into rest We will meet in that utopia All our lives are such a mess The sound of sirens fills the air Swallow the ground in such despair Their machines will kill us all But not before their downfall

Original lyrics in portuguese: Alça a bandeira verde e negra, Que é a bandeira da nossa revolução. Oiçam os gritos, os gritos que ecoam, Tempestades que chegam, chamas que voam. Aí vêm os selvagens, comendo a escuridão, No horizonte uma miragem da nossa revolução. Alça a bandeira verde e negra, Que é a bandeira da nossa revolução. Translated lyrics in english: Rise up the black and green flag Which is the flag of our revolution! Listen to the screams, the screams that echo Arriving storms, flames that fly Listen to the screams, the screams that echo Here come the savages, eating the darkness In the horizon, a glimpse of our revolution Rise up the black and green flag Which is the flag of our revolution!
