[Lyric] Nothing but a Lie (Los Males del Mundo)

From the first breath in this world
The flame of life is slowly extinguishing
Trying to escape from that essential fear
That prisoner of limits and words
Disguise all things

Unaware of the inevitable fate
The veil that conceals the final enigma
Falls as soon as life can be seen
As a prolonged agony

What would happen
If our face could faithfully
Express our inner suffering?
If all the internal torment
Could manifest itself in our expression
Would we still be able to talk?
Could we еxchange words
Without hiding our faces with our hands?

To live would not bе possible
If the truth of our feelings
Could be read on our faces
But words disguise all things
Regardless of our will to communicate
We are unable to express something

And even from the most sincere attempt
You can only expect nothing but a lie

No one would dare to look in a mirror
Since all of our most intimate fears
Are somberly bonded to the horror of the real
