Hold Your Fire

In the post covid-19 world, where the finality and fragility of life took on a new perspective, it was time to get together and make a mark. It was a coincidence that the Russian war on Ukraine was happening at this same time and the lyrics flowed almost effortlessly.
Countries in the distance. Unpronounceable city names
A leader's ink to paper. A million souls endowed with pain

Oh, hold your fire!
Can't you see? Today's indifference could forever your conscience burn.

No. Can't ignore it.
Got to fight the effective anaesthesia of our TVs.

Cycles of destruction on repeat, foolish human animal.
New generations emulate our wrongs; what have we done ?

Now! Hold your fire.
Can't you see? You take their hope, their innocence there is no return.

No. Can't ignore it.
Got to fight the collective amnesia of what this means.

Just when you feel you've seen it all
Terror from above begins to fall
Shaking the foundations of this reality
While this spooky roundabout, it brings us right around again to the same old place.

Country names are closer now. With pronounceable city names.
Hear the sirens blaring. A million eyes opening wide.

Versione spagnola pure incisa dal gruppo
NO DISPAREN

Países lejanos. Nombres de ciudades impronunciables
Un solo chasquido. Se esfuman las almas de un millón

Ay! No disparen
¿O no ven?
La indiferencia a la conciencia le cobrará
No! No lo ignoren
A vencer la anestesia efectiva de la TV

Repitiendo ciclos destructivos. Tonto animal humano
Generaciones nuevas emulando lo que le hemos de enseñar

Ya! Ya paren
¿O no ven?
Es arrebatarles la inocencia y no vuelve más
No! No lo ignoren
A vencer la amnesia colectiva de lo que fue

Cuando creíste haberlo visto todo
Llueve de los cielos, el terror
Tiemblan los cimientos de esta realidad
Y la calesita tenebrosa nos devuelve siempre a este mismo lugar

Países cercanos. Nombres de ciudades ya pronunciables
Suenan las sirenas. Se abren grandes los ojos de un millón
