Mascaras - Masks

APESAR DO SOL E DAS ASAS DE CERA RESOLVEU
VOAR EM BUSCA DOS SEUS SONHOS
GUARDOU TUDO EM UM AQUÁRIO
JUNTO COLOCOU SEUS SEGREDOS E PARTIU
E MESMO TRISTE SORRIU

MARCHOU RUMO AO DESCONHECIDO
POIS NUNCA TEMEU SEU DESTINO
ENCONTROU NO CAMINHO MIL AVES
COM INÚMERAS VOZES VOOU

DANÇOU SOBRE BRASAS EM FOGO
MAS NUNCA QUE O HERÓI TEMEU
ENFRENTOU MARES E OCEANOS
EM BUSCA DO QUE ERA SEU

CHEGANDO LÁ ENCONTROU ALEGRIA
TUDO ERA FESTA, ERA COR E CALOR
MAS COM O TEMPO VEIO O FRIO E A VERDADE
E A TUDO ISSO VIU E OBSERVOU

VIU ROSTOS SORRINDO, VESTIDOS COM MÁSCARAS
VIU ROSTOS TÃO TRISTES SENTINDO PRAZER
VIU CORPOS PERDIDOS POR ANOS E ANOS
PESSOAS FINGINDO SORRIR SEM SABER

VENDO-SE SOZINHO SE POS A SONHAR
COM O OLHAR PERDIDO TENTANDO ENCONTRAR
VIU NO CAMINHO RIOS E SERPENTES
E DEREPENTE ENCONTROU...

AGORA JÁ NÃO É NECESSÁRIO O USO DAS MÁSCARAS
E AS EMOÇÕES CIRCULAM LIVRES AO REDOR

MASKS
DESPITE THE SUN AND THE WAX WINGS
HE DECIDED TO FLY IN SEARCH OF HIS DREAMS
WHAT HE HAD, HE PUT AWAY IN A FISH BOWL
ALL TOGETHER WITH HIS SECRETS AND LEFT

EVEN THOUGH HE WAS SAD, HE SMILED
AND MARCHED TOWARDS THE UNKNOWN
FOR HE NEVER FEARED HIS DESTINY
ON HIS WAY HE FOUND A THOUSAND BIRDS

WITH NUMBERLESS VOICES HE FLEW
ON HOT COALS HE DANCED
BUT NEVER DID THE HERO FEAR
HE FACED THE SEAS AND OCEANS

IN SEARCH OF WHAT BELONGED TO HIM
ON ARRIVING HE FOUND JOY
AND IT WAS ALL FEASTS, COLOUR AND HEAT
BUT WITH TIME CAME THE COLD AND TRUTH

AND ALL OF THAT HE SAW AND WATCHED
SMILING FACES DRESSED IN MASKS
SUCH SAD FACES FEELING PLEASURE
AND BODIES THAT HAD BEEN LOST FOR YEARS

PEOPLE FAKING SMILE WITHOUT KNOWING
FINDING HIMSELF ALONE HE GAZED INTO SPACE
TRYING TO SEARCH FOR HIS DREAM
ON THE PATH HE SAW RIVERS AND SERPENTS
AND SUDDENLY HE FOUND IT

NOW MASKS ARE NO LONGER NEEDED
AND EMOTIONS RUN FREE
