isang musmos na lahi
isang munting nasyon
parang itinanim na buto
itinakdang
sumibol at lumago
sa paglaon ng panahon

nag-aabang, naghihintay
puno nang sabik
pero kay tagal dumating
tayo ay nainip
tadhana nating tagumpay
kailan kaya makakamit
kasi

apat na raang taon
hanggang ngayon
lulong pa rin sa putik
nangangapa, nadadapa sa dilim
mga butong nanginginig sa lamig

mga isla
pitong libong isang daan at pito
ito
ang ating lupang sinilagan,
tahanan ng ating lahi
pero nga bahay ba ito o burol?

mga pangarap na
masilayan ang mga sinag ng araw at
mahagkan ang malayang langit
mananatili lang bang panaginip dito
sa bayang natutulog
o kaya namang natutulog lang kunwari

tanggapin mo na lang na
humikbi, humagulgol,
ibuhos mo man ang iyong luha
walang darating
kumayod ka man at magdamag magsikap
diligan mo man ang lupa ng pawis
wala
pa ring mangyayari

kasi
dugo
dugo lamang na dumaloy
mula sa mga palad ni Hesukristo
kung ang Kanyang pag-ibig ay
babaha sa lupa
ng parang delubyo
ito ang nag-iisang paraan
ang nag-iisang sagot:

dugo
dugo lamang na ibinuhos
ang tanging
makakatubos
makakaahon
makakaligtas
sa atin
Performed this as spoken word in Creative Faith's Doxa.
I'm aware that I'm crazy
It's really not a secret
And even if it was
I'd be too lazy
To keep it

I know that I'm annoying
I think everyone knows it
If they don't
I will eventually
Show it

Do you know you're a *******?
Well, I'm sure that you must
If you don't
you will surely soon,
I trust

**** it. Everything is tainted
From the memories of you
All our experiences
Were painted
Over in blue
He always thought that he would marry her
That they were meant to be
Not suspecting he'd soon bury her
Then setting her soul free

His love was taken too quickly
Before their lives could begin
He never even knew she was sickly
His sanity soon wore quite thin

The one thing he had in his poor life
Was taken while he was so young
He never even got to make her his wife
The bee stings had left his heart stung

With time, he continued to lose it
And he knew it was time for the end
He grabbed his hand gun and he used it
So he could see his beloved again

And this tale is only just beginning
For you see, he had found a new place
And he couldn't stop laughing and grinning
He couldn't wipe the smile from his face

He had stumbled upon the secret land
Which was reserved for the best of the dead
But this place was not at all Heaven
I think he preferred this place instead

He looked at his love and he said
"I need you, you're all I think of
I can never get you out of my head.
Will you please marry me now, my love?"

She screamed out with such excitement
And of course her response here was yes
They planned their wedding as it was meant
And the ghosts helped her to make a dress

He finally got to make her his wife
Even if it was after his life...


He and his love
lived together,
Though they were dead
But they were happy,
Though stained red
From his dripping,
blown off head

Nauubos na siya
Bigyan mo ng oras para mapuno
Maghintay.

Nauubos na
Hindi mapigilang magduda
Maghintay.

Nauubos
Hindi mo na kaya?
Maghintay.

Ubos
Sige lang
Maghintay.

Kawalan.
Ano?
Maghintay
