Chamas da Guerra Lyrics ( English Translation ) – Shooter_sz

[Introduction]
There is a place
Where the flames of war cannot reach
A place where wheat turns golden, everything is abundant
A place where meadows green, but it is so distant
And my eyes shone
But where I come from, they romanticize wars
I still didn’t understand
But how I wanted to be part of it
And the men of that place
Yearned to die fighting
They lived in a place where a warrior hid
Because he knew what war causes
You tried to keep me away from that world
I tried to show it made no sense
I was so young and angry at everything
Understand that you have no enemies
If you won’t take me, I’ll find my own way
If you won’t teach me, I’ll learn alone
I want to live and die as a warrior
Even if I walk my own path

[Verse 1]
If a man has something to lose
He becomes afraid of death
He expected my best
And handed me his daggers
Said that a true warrior
Doesn’t need swords
After the tears end
Only hatred remained inside me
I promise I will avenge you
Where or when, it doesn’t matter
Years, decades, now
After that moment
That innocent child was gone
Hatred killed me inside and molded me outside
And now there’s no turning back

[Chorus]
I no longer know what I’ve become
I needed to abandon myself
I haven’t forgotten what I caused
But I can no longer return
I am chained to vengeance
I will make you feel all my pain
If not to avenge myself on you
I no longer know which path
Anger filled my being
And then left me an emptiness, emptiness

[Verse 2]
Ending this will be very easy
In a cowardly way, just like you did one day
But I know whose son I am, so I don’t lower myself
I’ll kill you the way he would kill you
How much weight on a child’s shoulders
A burden I had to carry alone
I don’t accept, I don’t surrender to defeat
Kill me now, or watch me rise
And every time I fell, he taught me something new
Decided to observe my potential up close
I’m not your friend, nor your slave, don’t confuse things
Keeping me close is a fatal decision
Years passed and I felt colder
But I became similar to those men
The burden grew and I repressed it within me
At some point, I got lost, but I don’t know where

[Bridge]
How I hate war, I hate everything it causes
I had to do all this, and I know you wouldn’t be proud
Father, tell me if this is really what you wanted
Mother, sorry, I don’t know when, but I swear I’ll return one day
I helped destroy families, innocent lives
Only when I saw that those people could be you
I realized how painful it is to absorb that I became everything I hate
Everything that took from me, everything that made me
You told me that one day I would understand
That a warrior doesn’t need a sword
But why don’t I understand yet?
And I myself said that one day I would avenge you
To end the suffering
But the more I try, the more I see myself suffering
And I know you wouldn’t ask me to stop the vengeance
Because you know I wouldn’t listen anyway
I remember you saying I have no enemies
But when I look around, that’s all I see

[Chorus]
I no longer know what to do
10 years and nothing changed
Besides me, how many remain?
In the same place I am
Tell me about Vinland
Don’t talk about family
What do you know about me
Since that day?
I don’t want to remember childhood
I want to bury this pain
If I decide to cry, I know
I won’t be able to bear it

[Verse 3]
In that place
Everyone was slaves to men or power
I gave so many years of life for a small chance
I wasn’t a slave to gold or power
But I was to vengeance
What would happen
If the blade that hit you wasn’t mine?
What would I do in life
If the desire for revenge was all I had?
Hatred took me so far, I looked into the distance
And more hatred was all I saw
Suddenly the hatred disappears, dead in front of me
I become an empty shell

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Why would I feel fear if I no longer have anything?
Besides nightmares, drowning in sins
Hatred brought me here, but I no longer hate
That’s why I feel trapped, I feel suffocated
I can no longer repress
The burden grew and became much bigger than me
And I don’t know why I still see you here
Trying to teach my heart what it still hasn’t learned
And you told me
That this battle is only mine
And I should still
Use as support these lives
That I took
And carry them forever with me
Transform the burden into purpose
Be reborn as a true warrior
Yes, I see myself empty
But it’s from emptiness that one restarts
And I will carry them with me
Not to repair, but to fulfill a promise
I will plant much more than I reaped
Build much more than I destroyed
Abolish violence, war and slavery
And for this, there’s only one direction

[Pre-Chorus]
Mother, I’m back, what I went through
Finally I can cry
All that I did, there’s no forgiveness
But today I can say
That I have no enemies
I have no enemies
