AGNI’S DYNASTY (Fire I)
Tool or oblation
Incinerate and dominate
Devotion, knowledge and glory
A taste of power to unleash the fury
The scepter to subjugate
Or the royal mace to cultivate
The art of divine libation
Ignition of human ineptness
The ego’s death into the pyre
Denuded immaculate mind
Inherited candescence
Hidden and revealed existence
Settled in all mortal beings
Endorse wisdom and evolution
Agni’s dynasty
Settled in all mortal beings.
Agni’s dynasty.
The scepter to subjugate
Or the royal mace to cultivate
The art of divine libation
Perpetual ignition of human ineptness
A taste of power to unleash the fury.

STONE
Who conquers all its virtues
And has a hard skin surface
And lives in stagnation…
Yet born from mineral
Conversion, transition
(*)… Inspires alchemy
And forms the base of legends
The heart of the temple*
(it) Lies down
In forests
(the) Sculptor’s raw material
War’s weapon artillery
Temple or prison
Idols and gods
Yet born from mineral
Conversion, transition
From raw stone to talisman
Gem to icon
To satisfy worship’s faith
(it) Lies down
In forests
(the) Sculptor’s raw material
Yet born from mineral
Conversion, transition
War’s weapon artillery
Temple or prison
Idols, gods and enemies
Sculptor’s material Idols and gods.

HERESY (Steel)
Dried-out field Civilization Money flow,
Lives not all Matter,
Stagnation,
Cowards march.
Chorus:
Modern heresy, toothless
Schizophasic desire,
On the surface, around the corner,
War with the world with no chance of advance.
Petitions of modern courtesy rituals,
Information flood holds the ship of fools, Adrift,
Narcosis of local superiority,
Artificial circles,
Watchers refuse to take part
In the dance of the dead, they aren’t mad.
(Verse and chorus)
Conspiring fear, traumatized ignorance
Numbing desire to limit the world to the peasant’s eyesight,
Tending the crops on his own,
Never raising the head, expect to protect
The shallow field,
Of vision.

SATI (Fire II)
Igneous stones of transmutation
Birth of the Kailash Mountain,
Crystal meditation, place of transformation
Where world’s desire disappear
Thou hast a wish,
Supreme devotion
Born as a promise
The worship’s sacrifice, sacrifice!
Self-immolation through tongues of fire
As response of humiliation and ire
The funeral pyre purifies thou dignity
Widow’s ritual.
Cosmic cycles of creation and destruction
Trigger the Tandava’s dance
Despite his violent cadence and seduction
Matter is demolished by His trident’s lance
Thou hast just a wish,
Supreme devotion
Born as a promise
The worship’s sacrifice
Self-immolation through tongues of fire
As response of humiliation and ire.
Thou hast just a wish,
Supreme devotion.
Self-immolation through tongues of fire
As response of humiliation.

SIRIUS WIND
A sigh it’s enough to produce a syllable
A slightly breath to devise a music note
Airstream can even shape glass
Or convert itself in hurricane
Sirius star guides millenary winds
Blizzards whistle imitating a voice
Subtle growling across the desert
Natura holds an infinite dance with the sand.
Sirius star!

COATLICUE, SERPENT SKIRT (Earth I)
Gea!
We were born on this hungry ground
Dreaming awakening from sleep
And we live in illusionary peace.
She was sacrificed since the first hour of creation
Two snake figures come out of her decapitated head
Snake Woman
A horrible effigy, a monster stonework
Gea!
Snake Woman
She gives birth to all forms of life.
Teteo Innan,
Coatlicue
Beauty in its entity, mother of gods
Creator and destroyer
Serpents descend over her skirt
Around her bosom, a necklace of human remains
She keeps the seed, feeds on corpses and consumes them all
Two reptile figures come out of her severed head
Her severed head
She gives birth to all forms of life
*With the force born deep within her grows the magma’s core *
Impregnated by feather’s birds or a simple knife.
Dualism without a face.

NOK TERRACOTTAS (MUD)
Triangular eyes
Isolated in time
Look at us from the mud
Telling a story of clay
Sculptured figures talk
Terracotta figures
About (a) millenary heritage
Terracotta bodies emerge
From the hidden beauty of earth
Triangular eyes
Isolated in time
Look at us from the mud Telling a story of clay.

ROBLE PARA EL CORAZÓN (Wood)
Equilibrio y tesón
Valentía de roble para el corazón
Bajo tu sombra dormiré
Y sobre hojas secas soñaré
Palabras que ensucien la boca y la dignidad
Denunciar los vicios de la soledad
Equilibrium and determination
Oak courage for the heart
I’ll sleep under your shadow
I’ll dream on dried leaves
Bajo tu sombra dormiré
Y sobre hojas secas soñaré
I’ll sleep under your shadow
On dried leaves
Efímero es el triunfo
Frágil el segundo
A utopia of wise men
I’ll sleep under your shadow
I’ll dream on dried leaves
A utopia of wise men
I’ll sleep under your shadow.

SMOKE FOR THE CLOUDS (Ahuirán’s Water)
-Enter the tundra-
The flood has come
To deluge mankind’s throne
Spirits from the storm
Will destroy every stone
Praise the haze
To maintain peace
Avoid daze
Chorus:
Water, Ah! Water Ah!
Nail that grabs the trunk
Doesn’t grow
Tobacco
To smoke the clouds (it)
Drops the water
Rainfall on the plateau (it)
Drops the water
To smoke the clouds
Tobacco
Doesn’t grow
Nail that grabs the trunk
To smoke the clouds.
-Exit the tundra-
Every teardrop, every fountain
All Beasts (on earth)
Emerge from rain
Praise the haze
To maintain peace
Avoid daze
The flood has come
To deluge mankind’s throne
Spirits from the storm
Will destroy every stone
Of mankind’s throne.
(chorus)
Praise the haze
Avoid daze
The flood has come
Spirits from the storm
Praise the haze
Avoid daze
(chorus)
The flood has come
Spirits from the storm
(it) Will destroy every stone
The flood has come
To deluge mankind’s throne
Spirits from the storm
(it) Will destroy every stone.

BARREN (Gravel)
Morning light,
Stuck in the fight
Attempting to handle the heavy eyelids,
That dream, left the hollow
Remained like a bullet.
Don’t you remember when
You were a child of the rain,
Dancing in place
Where this city’s grown,
So many threads
Led here, entangled
Into the barren.
Chorus:
Wake up once again,
From one dream to another,
A nightmare remorse within myself
A nightmare desert within yourself.
But you are still there,
On the edge, borderline,
Fuzzy notes blur out the remains
Of meaningful words,
Shallow harmonies
Martyr’s soul
Relentless attempts to get away,
Embracing another love,
Begging for help,
Finding oneself in an empty bed
One hour before the end.
(Chorus).
