Strong 03:16
When your honour is jeopardized You gotta be strong Cut the crap and stand your ground You gotta be strong Show your fists against the crowd You gotta be strong Don't let those bastards bring you down You gotta be strong And after all these years you're in the same streets The dream you live today can be a nightmare tomorrow Stand true to your friends, destroy your enemies If they are merciless, you gotta show no fear With all those problems in everyday life You gotta be strong It doesn't matter who's in front of your sight You gotta be strong Hit harder, be faster and cut them down You gotta be strong You're not a part of that stupid crowd

Father took me by the hand and led me to the river And there I discovered a faith that I still carry now All our colours filled the air with all that mighty beauty Every time our colours fly I feel that I'm back home For you I bled, for you I cried, for you I fought And I don't have regrets at all. You're at the same time a cheap hooker and a king God bless our fucking holy blood I know, I'm gone, But I love you just the same You're never far away As we carry on in life our names upon our actions Always like wounded soldiers after losing a war From the bitter taste of defeat the desire of struggle rises The warriors' faces change but we will be always there I know, I'm gone, But I love you just the same Through the good times and the bad times Men need something to hold fast Some are better, some are worse And life goes on and on And as my friend Edu says, everything can come to an end. But on thing is for sure: Red and White shines forever. So far, so close, I love you so.

You know that grandpa was a soldier once He crossed under the fire the enemy lines Most of his friends returned home inside body sacks He belongs to a generation with balls That proves that you are nothing at all With your serious problems about some banal shit Closes his eyes and sees the battlefield The bombs are falling when men become just pieces of meat Memories of war As a vampire that is ready to bite Young blood is spilt at war of soldiers that kill before they're able to fuck He saw the misery, he saw the fear After the war he raised a family, But the real heros are those who died in pain. Closes his eyes and sees the battlefield The bombs are falling when men become just pieces of meat Memories of war

Pending Deed 01:29
Whenever I'm pissed I sit and think of the good times that passed away Cause I feel no sorrow or no regrets in the things I did or said I've always known that I've done no wrong or at least wasn't deliberate So I just cannot turn my back to those days we used to share. What will be of us if we forget the memories? Do you remember when the world was a pending deed? Older and wise, life's become quite hard but not enough to bring us down I hope you're fine and fucking around, as in the days we hung out I have somewhere that fucking tape you recorded with tacky songs And those crazy nighouts that we weren't allowed in any bars in town No cash nor appeal, just a bunch of pimples, poshy cunts thought we were strange. And I won't forget the morning I woke up with a fender in my bed. What will be of us if we forget the memories? Do you remember when the world was a pending deed? Older and wise, life's become quite hard but not enough to bring us down I hope you're fine and fucking around, as in the days we hung out The world was a pending deed and now it sucks.

Misty Days 03:06
I left my home about two years ago, in the year of the Lord 1832 We arrived to Buenos Aires, all of us really hungry and tired while the morning sun was cuddling the boat. I turned my face and I could smell from there the wet floor by the rain of my land. So goodbye my Anduriña, will I see you back again? And those fields from Galicia, will I walk through them again? I told my mum I loved her but I really had to go. Oh, in misty days I remember you. All of us came into this country where the streets were paved with gold But things don't seem to work like that... Anyhow I carved my way with your memories and my hands And with the faith in a brighter day to come And now I realise that as long there will be seas, brave men will sail on them looking for glory. So goodbye my Anduriña, will I see you back again? And those fields from Galicia, will I walk through them again? I told my mum I loved her but I really had to go. Oh, in misty days I remember you.

Mother 03:30
I've been trying so hard to live upong your rules Try harder, be honest, don't trick yourself It has been the best way to become a man But I may not be the way you expected Mother stands for women that made us fair Father stand for men who made us tough Since you've been there I've never been lost That's a truth I won't forget Give me pride Give strength Give me a path Give me a name Give me reasons Give me rules Give me honour Give me hope Mother

On My Own 03:25
I'm not so good with words but I know what I felt The summer was going away and you went to sleep with me. I know that I was good and that you felt the same thing We had that borrowed time and we had no place to go. And as I look back I reckon you were fucking pretty and that I fell in love with you but all those punk rock nights never last forever and my time there was almost done. And now I know I'm gonna be on my own Well, to be honest it wasn't a bed of roses It was almost written that we were approaching the end Anyhow I enjoyed being around your warm arms But sometimes this is a cold world, even in our hearts It's funny but I don't know why I remember all this Some things are better when they passed away But if you listen this wherever you are now Goodbye forever, my little queen. And now I know I'm gonna be on my own

(Lyrics by Tom Petty - 1989) Well I won't back down No I won't back down You could stand me up at the gates of Hell But I won't back down No I'll stand my ground Won't be turned around And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down Gonna stand my ground And I won't back down. Hey, baby. There ain't no easy way out. Hey, I will stand my ground. And I won't back down. Well I know what's right I got just one life In a world that keeps on pushin' me around But I'll stand my ground And I won't back down. Hey, baby. There ain't no easy way out. Hey, I will stand my ground. And I won't back down. Hey, baby. There ain't no easy way out. Hey, I won't back down Hey, baby. There ain't no easy way out. Hey, I will stand my ground And I won't back down.

I recall the days of fun and warm good feelings I recall the days of faith that I'm still keeping I feel like a soldier going to the front The war is not over there's things to be done Wherever you are, I know for sure You made your mark in this world The path that we walk is not an easy one Sometimes it's lonely like a shot in the sky Now that you're dead I'm a ghost ship keeping your memory deep inside of me Some images just come back to me of us walking the city streets. People will always be born and die, what matters is what's done in between. With grief in my heart I make a toast A great man we loved is forever gone. Wherever you are, my fellow, You made your mark in this world It's always sad when a young life is taken A father should never bury his son You set an example for those who knew you You're always present, your spirit lives on Pain strikes in the middle of the night it burns like an arrow on fire That's the same fire that holds your name You were bound for glory in this life. With grief in my heart I make a toast A great man we loved is forever gone. Wherever you are, my fellow, You made your mark in this world

New Morning 02:49
Beaten up so black and blue, bu my heart still beats for you Oh, yes. My love is unconditional. We are here yo leave our mark, don't give up and fight this life Oh, yes. Fight the enemy inside yourself. Cause tomorrow will bring a new light on you It'll take away the problems that we have been through The hard time will disappear We will stand strong and free Together we are going to wake up in a new morning. It's a new morning. The glory days will never come back You know that future always takes its time and we're here to make a stand. What will be nobody knows but hear me now one thing's for sure We have to stick together Cause tomorrow will bring a new light on you It'll take away the problems that we have been through The hard time will disappear We will stand strong and free Together we are going to wake up in a new morning. It's a new morning. For every time we fall, there'll be a time we'll rise For every broken dream, there's a fight we win. Stand up and rise your fist I will be by your side Until life tear us apart I'll have you always in my heart.

Dead at 28 02:36
This wound will never stop to bleed In the city of concrete and steel You're dead but you're alive Your everyday sheep to the slaughterhouse The morning bell rings everyday are you ready to swallow frustration and pain? Some call it work, some call it life Enjoy being a slave to the modern times. It seems that life is always the same Dead at 28 And you need the money to pay the rent Dead at 28 Wondering if you're already dead Dead at 28 You're in a rut, you can't see the end You arrive to the place where you work Still sleepy and so pissed off. Everyday is a copy of the past day Til you're 65 or you pass away You never had the guts to do nothing with your life so you spend all the weekends at your local bar Don't you realize? Don't you just see that you're dead? Dead at 28

21st Century 03:07
Fast fingers in halted brains, hollow thoughts not used to straining Heading to the future world but there's no gain. Misery around us look so far, war on the screen and it looks so fun Our couches are our trenchesm what's going on? You can run but you can't hide, this is what existence has become Raising voices loud has gone so far Nobody knows there's a right to exist in this New World ...has pulled out what made us worth Great New World This New World What made us humans is tumbling down Great New World Gray days, gray minds wandering 'round, 21st century is to arse about Weak mentalities will swallow anything you say to them The screen gives orders, dodge efforts, dodgy TV is a dodgy mock Your brain's becoming crap and you can't even afford a flat Orwell was just fucking right, lies subjugate any worthy fight The story of your life will be plain shit soon released on DVD. This New World has pulled out what made us worth Great New World This New World What made us humans is tumbling down Great New World 21st century is a fucking lie 21st century, the future is now 21st century wants to bring you down 21st century won't bring us down 21st century, the future is crap
