Lyrics
English: Today I have shorn / Listen to my voice and you will see that at night you will not be able to go out / It is that things are very different and you will not be able to escape / They have tortured you / You have reached the point today where you think you will not see the sun anymore / In the palm of your hand you spend twenty days in the dark / You move everywhere in search of freedom / With a disaster of bodies around you cannot find control / You have been tortured / You have reached the point today where you think you are not going to see more the sun / In the palm of your hand
