The Alliance
Album: THE EXCEPTION (2002)
Victim of my adversary,
I set a limit to the unseemly
defeated, looking for an alliance.
Accomplice of my adversary,
mocking and cynical, I tried hard
not to betray discomfort or shame,
fear or uncertaintyâ¦
â ¦the end justifies the means and requires
determination...
The essential thing is to survive
in any condition,
with full capacity to understand,
I will meet the commitment.
Now the wind is favourable,
I am preparing to hoist the sails...
Accomplice of my opponent,
as per the strategy, I dispensed
/> flattery and coaxing with grace and prudence.
The vanity of my opponent
was like the tangled web, which
hosts and traps the spider,
an unaware creator.
Choice of obligation, pure necessity,
even indecision is superfluous,
strike the blow or succumb.
The essential thing is to survive
in any condition,
With full capacity to understand,
I will face the commitment.
And when the moment comes I will feel no
hesitation or indecision...
There The essential thing is to survive
under any conditions,
with full capacity to understand,
I will face the commitment.
Now the wind is favourable,
I am preparing to hoist the sailsâ¦
â¦the end justifies the means and requires
determinationâ¦
