De Mentira [English translation]

Your life is a lie

Lies feed you

Appearances are deceiving and you only appear

Your life is a lie

Lies feed you

Appearances are deceiving and you only appear

If you wanted peace, you came to the wrong place

The future never arrives and neither can you go back to the past

All you have is this, this moment

Life beating in your veins, blood on the inside and skin on the outside

The night is long, life is short, a due date that is almost expiring

A shadow that the mortal casts onto the darkness

Life's hard, brother, life's hard

A pit of hate, grief and bitterness

Life's hard, brother, life's hard

Love and pain, passion, greed and wrath

Another reason not to live a life of lies

Your life is a lie

Lies feed you

Appearances are deceiving and you only appear

Your life is a lie

Lies feed you

Appearances are deceiving and you only appear

Put your soul in everything, be what you are

Why should you marry and have children if you don't even like women?

Why should you have a new car if you walk on your foot?

Why should you act nice when you're more of a fool?

But if your desire is deep, sincere, true and deep

Turn your back to the world, fuck it, to hell with it, you only have one life

You only have one life

Be courageous to live what is right for you

I'm sure that you know what is right for you

If it's the storm or a heat

If it's something gypsyish or ordinary

If it's the priesthood or prostitution

If it's the office work or poetry

Your life is a lie

Lies feed you

Appearances are deceiving and you only appear

Your life is a lie

Lies feed you

Appearances are deceiving and you only appear

You say you're a poet but you're just a faker

You fake so completely that you even believe in your pain

It's so much pain that you lie

You say you're a poet but you're just a faker

You fake so completely that you even believe in your pain

It's so much pain that you lie

You say you're a poet but you're just a faker

You fake so completely that you even believe in your pain

It's so much pain that you lie

You say you're a poet but you're just a faker

You fake so completely that you even believe in your pain

It's so much pain that you lie

You say you're a poet, you're just a faker

You so completely believe in your pain

It's so much pain that you lie
