This house tailored a sense of dread Since the very beginning And these flames giving out the worst of mysteries The filthy runes, the splintered woods And these flames giving out the worst of mysteries I’m blinded And just like that I crashed into sweet slumber And just like that Danger ran amok The fever designed a new crippled face Around the amber cheeks To the branches surrounding The sudden calling You are no match for the tempest to come Around the amber cheeks From the colors clawing You are no match for it The sudden calling This house tailored a sense of dread Since the very beginning And these flames giving out the worst of mysteries The filthy runes, the splintered woods And these flames giving out the worst (One hit!) An excess to the (Two hit!) first-time impressions (Three hit!) My body tangles, (Down, down!) the witching hour (One hit!) In a delicate (Two hit!) fashion the host (Three hit!) merges with him (Down, down!) And just like that I crashed into sweet slumber And just like that, danger ran amok This fever designed a new crippled face An excess, the first impression My body tangles, the witching hour And just like that, I crashed into sweet slumber And just like that, danger ran amok (One hit!) An excess to the (Two hit!) first-time impressions (Three hit!) My body tangles (Down, down!) the witching hour (One hit!) In a delicate (Two hit!) fashion the host (Three hit!) merges with him

Deceiving world And fragile lives Little by little It’s tearing us apart The pureness of our hearts Can be tainted by lies If its a dream its Time to wake up How can I hurt the one thing I love How can I hurt the life that I own The secrets that we kept Deep inside Deep inside my head Over shadowed by suffering and pain Its a process we all have to take Broken souls Bleeding hearts Searching something to hold on Oh God Why Why Why Why Why Why This world is dragging me down Oh God Why Why Why Why Why Why To escape a reality that’s damaging My faith How can I hurt the one thing I love How can I hurt the life that I own How can I hurt the one thing I love How can I hurt the life that I own I believe That something better’s yet to come Never forget There’s still a glimpse of hope inside Our wrecked life Even if we spill our tears A path of flowers will bloom Day by day A miracle subtlety starts To sing A melody that can open the door So you can walk towards the spring You’re looking for I believe that something better is yet to come (Never forget to search a light) Guide me the way, make me understand (Not living life for suffering) I have a purpose to accomplish (A dream to reach out) A shine in my spirit That the world will never have

Campo yo vivo triste Cada día sufriendo mas Ay Dios, que sera de mi Si no bailo esta bomba me voi a morir Campo, campo campo de mi sueño Cada dia te sufro mas Sufro por tus valles, tus montañas Campo de Puerto Rico, te llevo en mi corazón Campo yo vivo triste Cada día sufriendo mas Ay Dios, que sera de mi Si no bailo esta bomba me voi a morir Campo, yo te llevo en mis recuerdos Como el perfume lleva la flor Sueño con tus valles, tus montañas Campo de Puerto Rico, te llevo en mi corazón Si no bailo esta bomba me voi a morir (Si no bailo esta bomba me voi a morir) Ay ay ay ay, le dije a mi abuelita Belén (Si no bailo esta bomba me voi a morir) Esa conexión con mis raíces, no la cambio por nada (Si no bailo esta bomba me voi a morir) De tal palo tal astilla, es mi orgullo boricua (Si no bailo esta bomba me voi a morir) Campo yo vivo triste Cada día sufriendo mas Ay Dios, que sera de mi Si no bailo esta bomba me voi a morir

Poco a poco se desangra el mar Girando en tierras fructíferas Poco a poco se deja guiar Por lo que tú eras En el camino se desangra el mar Girando en tierras fructíferas En el camino se deja guiar Por lo que tú eras Pero sigo anclado en el centro de la hoguera Forzado a sentir las llamas De ella siento nada Brilla y brilla No perduran los trazos de mi voz Entrando vientos de ruidos subterráneos Y con cada paso enciendo imperfecciones Y con cada sueño nacen oportunidades Y con cada convicción liberada me encuentro Me encuentro Estoy en el silencio (De cuerpos añiles) Buscando rastros De un pasado ya sentido En el Horizonte veo un reflejo Un rostro brillante que no reconozco Entre luz y marea tu nombre cala profundo aquí En el reflejo de una ciudad en ruinas Y lo que no se ve Me une a ti Atrapada en el va y ven lucho contra ti Por qué es en mi gran tierra donde se vivir Y con cada convicción Liberada, en ti me encuentro De pie lucho!

(Wake Up!) Are we living or just being taught (Stranger!) To fight battles for them (Wake Up!) Heading towards disaster (Fade out!) Sounds are fading much faster (Wake Up!) See the strangers we have become (Stranger!) And these sacrifices (Wake Up!) Give up to them the sound of (Fade out!) Give up to them your voice Soldiers invade Silver mascarade Nobody to blame Wake up the flesh Of everyone around Just to stop the sound It will always be inside our hearts For all of us to see Always bright always near me Always there just to heal me Take me there never fear me Let me go (Wake Up!) Are we living or just being taught (Stranger!) To fight battles for them (Wake Up!) Heading towards disaster (Fade out!) Sounds are fading much faster (Wake Up!) See the strangers we have become (Stranger!) And these sacrifices (Wake Up!) Give up to them the sound of (Fade out!) Give up to them your voice Oh please just come back to me Where we belong Wake up the sound And Just let yourself Do it again Hear me once more (Do it again! Hear me once more!) Oh please just come back to me Where we belong Wake up the sound And Just let yourself Do it again Hear me once more (Do it again! Hear me once more!) And it’ll always be inside (Inside our hearts, inside) For all of us to see (For all of us to see!) And it’ll always be inside, our hearts (Wake up inside our hearts!) For all of us to see (For all of us to see!) And it’ll always be inside (Inside our hearts, inside) For all of us to see (For all of us to see!)

Hello brother I’ve been waiting everyday since I crashed into sweet slumber Even though the time has passed we’re still together And now I’m no longer blinded, and now I see that This is the sunset between paradise Around the amber cheeks This is the sunset between paradise For All of us to see This Place called Levittown When we first met you ‘Cause everything you do (It brings me back to) Dream about that town When we first met you ‘Cause everything you do (It brings me back to) Good bye flowers that were safely holding me since I woke up from sweet slumber Now the time has come for us to move together for A new beginning And now I see that This is the sunset between paradise Around the amber cheeks This is the sunset between paradise For All of us to see This Place called Levittown When we first met you ‘Cause everything you do (It brings me back to) Dream about that town When we first met you ‘Cause everything you do (It brings me back to) Place called Levittown When we first met you ‘Cause everything you do (It brings me back to) Dream about that town When we first met you ‘Cause everything you do For All of us to see
