The Sons of Adam

She said, “With the help of the Lord
I have brought forth a man.”
Later she gave birth to his brother.
The Lord looked with favor on Abel
But on Cain and his offering he did not.
Then the Lord said to Cain,
“Why are you angry?
If you don’t do what is right,
Sin is crouching at your door
It desires to have you, but you must rule over all.”
Cain attacked his brother and killed him.
“What have you done? Listen!
Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground.”
The sons of Adam, the sons of God
They are lost in the spiral of the Lord
They must live and die without pride
Why Lord?! Adam in the midst of his fury has to cry.

Inside the Whale
07:49
|

|
The tail of the ocean lies within me
And I die a hundred deaths
Waiting for the return of God
to bless, confound, circle me.
I have disobeyed the Lord
And tried to run and hide
Down he went into the abyss
Beneath the ocean tide.
The whale opened his mighty mouth
and vomited his wrath out
Now go to Nineveh God said again
and make sure they have no doubt.
Please don't leave me here forever
that's my only wish
Please don't leave me here forever
What can I do inside this fear?
What can I say about my pain?
What should I pray in front of God?
I am your son, my fury whale.

A Stone in the Head
07:14
|
|||
|
There was a war in the land of Israel
One people struggled to survive, another had to kill
Why in the name of God the lands had to fight?
There was the best enemy’s soldier.
He told the King to choose a man to fight him
But nobody wanted to die in their lives
So Goliath shouted to them for forty days
But none of the soldiers would fight him.
David saw the angry soldier
And he saw that the men were afraid of him
Then he looked to the sky and threw a single stone
Goliath fell to the ground.
There is a hurricane of passions
And a stone on a helmet in the ground
Side by side, around
The old times never return again.
We know God helped the little shepherd
But why take the soldier's life
A stone in the head, enough to take a life
Our God is so just, like a game of cards.

The Forgotten Father
07:06
|
|||
|
When the world was born into a new faith
And the magicians announced the return of the Lord
There was a father in pain and sorrow
Because he already knew that the story would be another.
Nobody speaks of the one who gave the light of life
Nobody hears the words of the past
Nobody remembers the beginning of the legend
No one walks on those cobblestone roads.
Sometimes it is said that it is seen in the distance
In the sacred mountains of Nazareth
A shadow floating in the wind
And the sighs of a father in the setting sun.
Everybody praises the son
But few remember the true father
Everyone asks his wife for miracles
Is the destiny... of the forgotten father.
They built an ancient road
With the words of the son
And deified the wife in multiple altarpieces
But no one spoke more... of the forgotten father.
Jehovah is so great to take a life
Jehovah is as dark as the dark side.

Seven Braids
08:03
|
|||
|
In the distant land of Gaza
Lived a man feared for his strength
Like a mountain that breaks the horizon
This man could shake the earth.
But lost in the honeys of love
And he relied on the sibyl of the prostitutes
Leaving its value among the savannas of sin
And forgetting that men are only human.
So when he blind the cry to the Lord
"Give me strength because I trust you"
The Lord answered with the paradox
To have his destiny back facing death.
Seven arms holds the prayer lamp
Seven are the deadly sins
So the Lord is far away and does not listen
When the seven braids fell to the ground.
Seven is a magic number
But good and evil are not in the cabal
Seven may be the beginning
Of eternal suffering and divine apathy.

Another Divine Image
07:01
|

|
I was angry with my friend: I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe: I told it not, my wrath did grow.
And I watered it in fears, night and morning with my tears;
And I sunned it with smiles, and with soft deceitful wiles.
And it grew both day and night, till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine. And he knew that it was mine.
And into my garden stole when the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning glad I see my foe outstretched beneath the tree.
Cruelty has a Human Heart
And Jealousy a Human Face
Terror the Human Form Divine
And Secrecy the Human Dress.
The Human Dress is forget Iron
The Human Form a fiery Forge
The Human Face a Furnace Staled
The Human Heart its hungry Gorge.
Another Divine Image, Is not the altar, is not your God
Another Divine Image, Inside your mind, inside yourself.

The Prodigal Son
07:01

And he said, “There was a man who had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.’ And he divided his property between them. Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living. And when he had spent everything, a severe famine arose in that country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs. And he was longing to be fed with the pods that the pigs ate, and no one gave him anything.
“But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father's hired servants have more than enough bread, but I perish here with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.”’ And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.
“Now his older son was in the field, and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. And he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant. And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf, because he has received him back safe and sound.’ But he was angry and refused to go in. His father came out and entreated him, but he answered his father, ‘Look, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command, yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your property with prostitutes; you killed the fattened calf for him!’ And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.’”
