"Por Que?:We are all on those trains:
Atocha 3/11"Quietude and solemn silences
Explosive carnage
A world bereft by evil dalliance
No end in sight.Por Que? We ask
no one answers
As humanity suffers
Again and again
Yesterday and today
AhoraThe Murder of Humanity
Part two or two thousand
The Loss of Humanity's solace
Grief for mankind's folly
Por Que?
Por Que?
Around me daily life
Seems like all is just okay
But nothing is the same again
Por Que?We are all on those trains
As they stop in their tracks
No reason for a future
No reason looking backLives are lost again
And again and again and again
Tonight will it be any different
tomorrow less than before
We ask the humane question
no one answers
Say again
Por Que?No one is safe
No one ever is safe for long
A station in ruins
In which world do we belong?
The world will mourn againAnd again
And again it will seem
Look to heaven and cry
And we still shall ask why
So let's stop and we'll pray
Por Que?
