deuses presos

[Intro - spoken, piano and noise]
From above I see it all...
2 million years to get here
And we chose the cave again

[Verse 1]
We who tamed the fire, broke the sky
Wrote god on the stones, bled onto paper
We sailed the seas, we planted the stars
To end up trapped inside our own windows

Perception turned algorithm
Perspective turned into feed
Cognition turned into product
And humanity is hostage of itself

[Pre-Chorus]
What if we had chosen the tribe?
Hand in hand instead of finger on the trigger?
What if "I" had turned into "we"?
What world would be born from our chaos?

[Chorus]
LOOK WHAT WE DID TO THE MIRACLE!
GODS TRAPPED INSIDE OUR OWN MINDS!
INFINITE POTENTIAL TURNED INTO LIKES!
THE BLOOD OF GIANTS TURNED INTO SMALL MEN!
LOOK UP! WE COULD HAVE BEEN EVERYTHING!
AND WE CHOSE TO BE NOTHING TOGETHER!

[Verse 2]
We built towers to touch the infinite
To end up living alone inside a microchip
We killed for the land, we died for the flag
And forgot that the earth was just a passenger

Vínculuz screams in the dark begging for connection
A project born to heal this isolation
But we're scared to really see ourselves
We prefer the Matrix over freedom

[Bridge - whispered with choir]
What if... what if we had chosen love?
What if the war was against hunger and not against our brother?
Would we be among the stars today?
Instead of asking why life is so cruel...

[Final Chorus]
GODS TRAPPED! GODS TRAPPED!
THE UNIVERSE CRIES INSIDE OUR CHEST!
WE COULD HAVE BEEN LIGHT!
BUT WE CHOSE THE PERFECT DARKNESS!
GODS TRAPPED...
AND THE KEY IS IN OUR HANDS!

[Outro - soft, defeated]
From above I see it all...
And it hurts to see that the cave...
was us.
