about

The muerto was for the first time in Russia and Belarussia in 2006, and later on in 2007 and 2010. His hosts were people that showed him the true meaning of generosity and the commitment to a political idea in the face of the most aggressive opposition. This song is dedicated to the young warriors of freedom, tolerance and respect in Russia and it is a tribute to the victims of the facist violence and the racist hate throughout Eastern Europe.

lyrics

The eastern path

Through the eastern path
where the vultures pray
where enormous monsters steal the air
there is still a wall
and our brothers fall

The remaining seed
growing underneath
with pure conviction
nothing less than free
as the goal is set
as we see the threat

Ohhhh
Our fires burn higher
when we honour your dead
the resistance grows
when we see the enemy
we hold our ground

Under the siege
of victorious hate
of big statues
of the smallest men
A new world is built
this creation breathes

Ohhhh
Our fires burn higher
when we honour your dead
the resistance grows
when we see the enemy
we hold our ground
The remaining seed
growing underneath
with pure conviction
nothing less than free

open eyes, big, big hearts
aiming in every direction
an injection of truth
from where things are hard
breathe the fire, breathe the fire
and close your hands tighter
we bow to you
for your injection of truth
