To a Mouse!!

«To a Mouse!!

He cried out loud with all his lungs swarming in his breath, the fetid mouth of hell…

End of all the things, the inner land, where all the hopes are lost and left behind…

B.rave mice… Rise once more in this day again…              Lords of the earth

E.nd and beginning of life itself, Lords of Time                  Rulers of the night

S.ince the very beginning you were the rulers                     In the deep could

T.ime fighting the giant beasts Tyrannosaurs                       Behind the moonlight

L.aughing of their weaknesses don’t be afraid                    Weep all of your tears

A.mused pearls were lives the fears, let them flow              Let the worm flow

I.n your loneliness gather all the strengths now                   Inside of your veins

D.isagree with all those that say that you cannot…             Let your strength grow

S.ince the very beginning you were the rulers                     Because the Time is near

C.rying no more again and fight for your rights                  And the promised land

H.ell of all men, paradise of mice, constructing                   Your future house

E.nd of all the injustice, end of all the loneliness                 Don´t be afraid any more

M.ystic house of God for all good and perdition                 Of that fetid mouth

E.ncounter with our slavers who weep tears                       Wen men cry out loud

S.imultaneously; Brave, Fearless and Defiant…                Awakening the lonely mouse

o’ Mice an’ Men                                                                 All Mice are equals in death

Gang aft agley,                                                       Sharing the same loneliness

An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain,                            Small and fragile bodies

For promis’d joy!»                                                 Promised temple of coldness…
