By What We Refuse

Pelo Que Recusamos

By What We Refuse

O mundo estava desmoronando.The world was undone.
Éramos bestas correndo soltas.We were beasts running rampant.
Nossa luxúria estava em nossas bocas com a lei pra justificar seu propósito.Our lust was in our mouths with the law to justify its purpose.
Tínhamos nossas próprias ideias do que era justoWe had our own ideas of what righteous was
e encenamos tudo em nossas mentes.and we staged it all of our minds
Era desonesto e um pouco barato,It was dishonest and a little bit cheap,
mas abriu caminho para nossos hinos de guerra.but it made the way for our war anthems.
Nosso amor era mais fraco, então nos alimentamos do nosso ódio.Our love was weaker, so we drew from our hate.
Era tudo o que tínhamos.It's all we had.
Podíamos lutar contra nossos inimigos se nos tornássemos as bestas que dizíamos matar.We could fight our foes if we became the beasts that we claimed to slay.
Ignore as cordas.Ignore the strings.
Criamos uma nova lei, e ninguém forçou nossas mãos.We had created a new law, and no one forced our hands.
Você foi substituído por nossas necessidades.You were replaced by our needs.
Compramos nossa justiça com o que recusamos.We bought our righteousness with what we had refused.
Como todas as leis...Like all laws...
Falhar ou fugir.Fail or flee.
Eu falhei a lei.I failed the law.
