Grandeza e Ruina

Seguro o mundo na mão

Estremece a terra solta

Debaixo de mim

Espero que não caia

Essa esfera contém a selva, o império

O peso do vazio vaporizado

Por entre dedos trémulos

Sintomas da desordem dentro de mim

Escapam ao jugo, a citadela, o reino

Inexorávelmente

Desenraiza-se o sonho

Arracando a terra aurea

Onde se semeiam

Arcaicos arquipélagos

Incrédulos, discordantes

Beligerantes entre si

Amálgama

De vozes dissonantes

Arde Roma ao fundo

Entregue a subterrados caprichos

Enquanto galgo para longe

Louco, admito

Para a floresta

Livre de grandeza e ruina

Ties that bind

I take a glance inside

Stare at the hungry darkness

As if I was not afraid

To be swallowed whole

Countless rooms

Inhabited by several

Severed segments of me

Friendly semblants

Semblances of enemies

Dear foes, acquaintances

Unknown prisoners

Fallen gods, false deities

Familiar devils, fraternal demons

I lock them in their rooms

Were they to escape

I could realise

They are keeping me inside

Desire and Lack

All dark things

They travel together

And the dead

Symbiotic with the living

That foul place

Isolated by rigid defenses

Cast away and impregnated again

An eternal struggle

Desire and lack

Of an immaculate soul

And the unspeakable wishes

For the impaired to perish

In a vain attempt

To unbind from 

Our imposed agreement

Unwillingly signing of our youth
