PENDULUM OF ASHES

Today I'm fire that burns the world
Tomorrow I'm ash the wind carries off
Two climates live in the same body
And neither one is a truce

I didn't choose this inner war
Between the brightness and the dark
Every extreme is true
Even when neither is mine

Pendulum of ashes
Swinging without end
Between the sky I invented
And the ground I can't avoid
Pendulum of ashes
Two climates, one same skin
No one knows which version
Shows up tomorrow, cruel

On the bright days I'm invincible
I build worlds with my own hands
On the shadow days I fade out
Don't even remember who drew these plans

I don't choose the tide, it chooses me and carries me away
Between the fire and the ash there is no ground, only darkness

Pendulum of ashes
Swinging without end
Between the sky I invented
And the ground I can't avoid
Pendulum of ashes
Two climates, one same skin
No one knows which version
Shows up tomorrow, cruel

And the pendulum swings on
Even when I no longer can
