There is no such thing as victory
And there is no such a thing as defeat
In the cycle of nature and life there is movement
Only and always movement

There are neither winners nor losers
There are only stages and chapters
That must be gone through and lived through
When your heart understands
It can be free

When times are difficult do not be deceived by the dark
Neither by the times of pride and glory
Both will pass
Even when love is rejected
it does not put an end to the ability to love

Movimento…

O orgulho de suas cicatrizes
As cicatrizes falam mais alto
do que a lamina da espada, da espada que as causou

Apenas etapas que devem ser cumpridas
Quando o coração do ser humano compreende isso
compreende isso fica livre

Aceita sem pesar os momentos dificeis
E não se deixa enganar pelos momentos de Gloria
Ambos vão passar

O que vale para o amor vale também para a guerra
Perder uma batalha, ou perder tudo
o que pensamos possuir, nos momentos de tristeza
Mas, quando eles passam

Movimento…

What is true in love is also true in war many times
If you lose a battle or you lose it all
After sadness follows strength
What you keep is your heart
That leads you through the days of this unpredictable path

Movimento…

Scars speak more loudly than the sword that caused them
