La Vieja Guardia

The Old Guard

La Vieja Guardia

We are children of an old godSomos hijos de un viejo dios
Whose name time erasedal que el tiempo su nombre borró
Heirs to a throne without a kingherederos de un trono sin rey
Protectors of a religionprotectores de una religión

We are monks with no obligationSomos monjes sin obligación
No doctrine to followni doctrina que cumplir
Our stigma was the decisionnuestro estigma fue la decisión
To choose how to livede elegir el cómo vivir

Years go by and inside usPasan los años y en nuestro interior
The flame burns as it beganarde la llama tal como empezó
Feeling, passion, strength, and freedomsentimiento, pasión, fuerza y libertad
We are the old guardsomos la vieja guardia

The offspring don't want to carryLos retoños no quieren llevar
Our signs of identitynuestras señas de identidad
They argue that in the heartjustifican que en el corazón
Is where it should bees allí donde deber estar

I wonder if they want to believeMe pregunto si quieren creer
That the war is already overque la guerra ya se terminó
Or if they just want to playo tan solo pretenden jugar
Being a cat and a mouse at the same timea ser gato y a la vez ratón

Years go by and inside usPasan los años y en nuestro interior
The flame burns as it beganarde la llama tal como empezó
Feeling, passion, strength, and freedomsentimiento, pasión, fuerza y libertad
We are the old guardsomos la vieja guardia

As long as we have the strength to continuemientras nos queden fuerzas para continuar
