Il muro del suono [English translation]

Under the ever inattentive eyes of the world

under the cover-ups of a democracy

there are those who lived in hope

and those who despaired

and those who lived anyway even though they were dying

there are those who can sleep

no matter how things turned out

no matter how things are going.

Under the weary and inattentive eyes of the world

the bullet is ready to be fired in a beautiful handwriting

the justice you are waiting for

is the same for us all *

it’s just that the judgments are a tiny bit late

lawyers raise their cups to heaven

feeling like they’re God

There is someone who can break the sound barrier

while the whole world is paraphrasing itself

striking a match in the darkness

brings more light than what we can see

there is someone who can break the sound barrier

Under the eyes of a world that has better things to do

each story is rewritten on the cheap

while pitbulls are unleashed on the streets to devour

while bosses are smoking

those who were supposed to pay never paid their dues

There is someone who can break the sound barrier

while the whole world is paraphrasing itself

striking a match in the darkness

brings more light than what we can see

there is someone who can break the sound barrier

the sound

the sound

Under the still inattentive eyes of the world

they are flooding the city center and the suburbs

the vampire doesn’t change

gun to the head

he won’t apologize for all that bloodshed

those who were supposed to pay were never held accountable for the famine

those who were supposed to pay never paid for the silverware

those who were supposed to pay never paid their dues.

There is someone who can break the sound barrier

while the whole world is paraphrasing itself

striking a match in the darkness

brings more light than what we might think

there is someone who can break the sound barrier

the sound
