about

Bittersweet is about morality, war, and the balance with the dichotomy of life.

lyrics

By a cannon cloven the humanity,
Unbalanced heart, justice a necessity.
Far away a way in infinity,
The world walks in the grey line of morality.

Development by survival in egoism,
Impossible solution to achieve an utopism.
Death in war, heroism, patriotism;
Murderers of peace and cosmopolitanism.

By war impulsed of all times the men's progress,
Like muscles, develop by stress;
Of men's minds the exercise could stop the mess,
Wise men knowledge combine, success.

Under the flags the paint of a country's death
Dying by lack of harmony and health
Poisonous temptations of pride and wealth
The unbalance slave man's breath.

One can't take bitterness as existence,
Nor can one live fantasy in distance.
In a world where not everything shines radiance,
Learn and accept to live in balance.

Escape from reality, of a world the end,
Never ending dreams, keep blocking the sound.
Consume an escape, for death spend,
Blood and pain, suicide doesn't mend.

Joy and agony taste bittersweet,
Get through the worst, the best gladly meet.
For anarchic utopia a dream complete.
Acceptance, union and harmony, all else obsolete.

Forward the boat sailing,
Floating dawn, the will o wisp following.
Transition, vision, each instant the future improving.
A distant destiny, the sea, challenging.

Blind to our own destruction,
Only in death find education.
From defeat is born a reflection,
In union is seen perfection.

Of two worlds one I keep near,
But always with the other interfere.
One will die if I hold the other dear,
But united will both persevere.

Between black and white eternal dispute,
Imposition of a truth as absolute,
Freedom of mind from a cage so diminute.
Nothing is true, everything is permitted, follow your route.
Wise and silver shine in a grey morality execute,
Only then can peace in all things contribute.
