Juão Mayapresents

I SWORE LIES AND I WALK ALONE

I ACCEPT MY SINS

THE NORTHERN WINDS DON’T MOVE MILLS

AND WHAT’S LEFT TO ME IS ONLY A MOAN

MY LIFE, MY DEAD ONES, MY TORTUOUS PATHS

MY LATIN BLOOD

MY CAPTIVE SOUL

I BROKE PACTS, BETRAYED THE RITES

I BROKE THE LANCE AND THREW INTO SPACE

A SHOUT TO GIVE VENT TO MY FEELINGS

AND WHAT MATTERS TO ME IS NOT TO BE DEFEATED

MY LIFE, MY DEAD ONES, MY TORTUOUS PATHS

MY LATIN BLOOD

MY CAPTIVE SOUL
