And When He Falleth
13 de Mayo de 2008Hoy tenía ganas de compartir un fragmento extraido de la canción And When He Falleth del disco Velvet Darkness They Fear, del grupo de Metal Gótico Noruego Theatre of Tragedy.
Me encanta este diálogo que se da en la canción, habla de la religión desde una mirada crítica, pero muy realista, y al final nos deja pensando…
Dejo la letra original, y al final una traducción que hice (puede que tenga algun error, pero el concepto está). También dejo aquí un video donde se puede escuchar la canción (el diálogo se da aproximadamente en el minuto 4:00).
[Male Voice]
That cross you wear around your neck;
Is it only a decoration, or are you a
True Christian believer?
[Female Voice]
Yes, I believe - truly.
Then I want you to remove it at once!
- and never to wear it within this castle
Again! Do you know how a falcon is trained my
Dear? Her eyes are sewn shut. Blinded temporarily
She suffers the whims of her God patiently, until
Her will is submerged and she learns to serve -
As your God taught and blinded you with
Crosses.
You had me take off my cross because it
Offended….
It offended no-one. No - it simply appears
To me to be discourteous to… to wear
The symbol of a deity long dead.
My ancestors tried to find it. And to open
The door that seperates us from our Creator.
But you need no doors to find God.
If you believe….
Believe?! If you believe you are…gullible.
Can you look around this world and believe
In the goodness of a god who rules it?
Famine, Pestilence, War, Disease and Death!
They rule this world.
There is also love and life and hope.
Very little hope I assure you. No. If a god
Of love and life ever did exist…he is long
Since dead. Someone…something rules in his
Place.

Es impresionante como me obsesiona la necesidad de simetría, uniformidad y perfeccionismo. En todas las cosas de la vida, al poner platos en una mesa, al armar una pila de monedas, o hasta al colgar la ropa…
