Wither

Forward he marches through scornful laughterAvanza marchando entre risas despectivas

Undaunted eyes set on hopes of here afterOjos intrépidos fijos en esperanzas de un más allá

A gauntlet of piercing stares line his wayUn guantelete de miradas penetrantes marca su camino

And condemning glares say all hate can sayY miradas condenatorias dicen todo lo que el odio puede decir

As he strides ever on stepsMientras avanza paso a paso

In time with his hearts rhythm and rhymeAl compás de su corazón y su ritmo

To the end of his dayHasta el final de su día

Forever seductive smile shatters senseUna sonrisa eternamente seductora destroza el sentido

And bids him acquiesce from this solitary lifeY le ordena aceptar esta vida solitaria

But we don't seePero no vemos

We've made ourselves blindNos hemos cegado

And we don't careY no nos importa

We've closed our mindsHemos cerrado nuestras mentes

And we don't moveY no nos movemos

We're so paralyzedEstamos paralizados

And we, we sit in heartlessnessY nosotros, sentados en la insensibilidad

Watching him dieViéndolo morir

And we don't seeY no vemos

We've made ourselves blindNos hemos cegado

And we don't careY no nos importa

We've closed our mindsHemos cerrado nuestras mentes

And we don't moveY no nos movemos

We're so paralyzedEstamos paralizados

And we, we sit in heartlessnessY nosotros, sentados en la insensibilidad

Watching him dieViéndolo morir

Dead to immunity, dead to societyMuerto a la inmunidad, muerto a la sociedad

Fearing the slow decay of dignityTemiendo la lenta decadencia de la dignidad

The poster child for walking dead menEl niño de cartel para los hombres muertos que caminan

Longs for the now to be way back whenAnhela que el ahora sea como antes

As he strides ever on stepsMientras avanza paso a paso

In time with his hearts rhythm and rhymeAl compás de su corazón y su ritmo

To the end of his dayHasta el final de su día

Forever seductive smile shatters senseUna sonrisa eternamente seductora destroza el sentido

And bids him acquiesce from this solitary lifeY le ordena aceptar esta vida solitaria

But we don't seePero no vemos

We've made ourselves blindNos hemos cegado

And we don't careY no nos importa

We've closed our mindsHemos cerrado nuestras mentes

And we don't moveY no nos movemos

We're so paralyzedEstamos paralizados

And we, we sit in heartlessnessY nosotros, sentados en la insensibilidad

Watching him dieViéndolo morir

And we don't seeY no vemos

We've made ourselves blindNos hemos cegado

And we don't careY no nos importa

We've closed our mindsHemos cerrado nuestras mentes

And we don't moveY no nos movemos

We're so paralyzedEstamos paralizados

And we, we sit in heartlessnessY nosotros, sentados en la insensibilidad

Watching him dieViéndolo morir

And I see him everyday along his roadY lo veo todos los días en su camino

Fading away manifest in the downcastDesvaneciéndose manifiesto en la desolación

Recluse and outcast lepers of this ageRecluso y marginado leprosos de esta era

The innocent in cage by paranoid, misinformed mindsLos inocentes enjaulados por mentes paranoicas y desinformadas

Enter the champions of love so called singing loudEntran los campeones del amor así llamados cantando fuerte

Grinning as they spit out their words, so proudSonriendo mientras escupen sus palabras, tan orgullosos

Hearts unmoved by songs and ideals?¿Corazones inmutables por canciones e ideales?

Wading through the rhetoric to clutch something realAbriéndose paso a través de la retórica para aferrarse a algo real

Don't seeNo vemos

We've made ourselves blindNos hemos cegado

Don't careNo nos importa

We've closed our mindsHemos cerrado nuestras mentes

Don't moveNo nos movemos

We're so paralyzedEstamos paralizados

We sit in heartlessnessSentados en la insensibilidad

Watching him dieViéndolo morir

Don't seeNo vemos

We've made ourselves blindNos hemos cegado

Don't careNo nos importa

We've closed our mindsHemos cerrado nuestras mentes

Don't moveNo nos movemos

We're so paralyzedEstamos paralizados

We sit in heartlessnessSentados en la insensibilidad

Watching him dieViéndolo morir
