Altar Lyrics English Translation by Ladrones
Today I ran into death
But it’s not my time yet, let me roll the dice again
I know my mother cries ‘cause she longs just to see me
Those days were so hard, no food or hot water
How bitter defeat tastes, I had no other choice
You’re either with me or against me—respect and loyalty can’t be bought
They got no guts, but we got plenty, we got plenty
Feels so good to do wrong, and that’s on me
I won’t blame anyone else, no one would understand
They’re gone now
You don’t die when you leave, only when you’re forgotten
An altar—I’ll never forget you, bro
Clika for life
And this one’s for those no longer here with me
In the worst of times, you see who’s really by your side
Not all is lost, not all is rotten
You don’t die when you go, you die when you’re forgotten
I’ve cried, but no, I haven’t drowned in alcohol
I’ve suffocated for those who’ve left
Their memory never fades from my mind
In our hearts, we carry them forever
Some have stared death in the face, others weren’t so lucky
Sometimes you just gotta be strong, even when you can’t and it hurts
They’re gone now
You don’t die when you leave, only when you’re forgotten
An altar—I’ll never forget you,
Bro, clika for life
Darkness embraces me, the end creeps in silence
But we’ll live on in your memories
Beyond the light, we’ll transcend in the abyss
