    TAVU took our time making this new album, and we are extraordinarily proud of it. It is the best collection of songs we have composed, and Leo Alvarez made the mix sound gigantic, textured, and impactful.

    We dedicated as much attention to detail on creating the art for the album as in recording the album itself.

    Angel Resto, our inhumanly talented graphic designer, went all out to capture the massive power of the album's music as well as the complex themes within it.

    Now you can also own a physical copy of our amazing new album. Go on, you know you want to!

Hay que superar… Hay que conquistar… Hay que derrotar… Hay que derrumbar… Los muros del terror

Sin Miedo 04:24
Cuidado con el estado De ese orden establecido Que el control es su objetivo Y te han obligado a aceptarlo Pues el orden natural de las cosas No se siente tan natural Se siente más bien artificial Una mentira no tan piadosa No es fácil ser el primero No es fácil romper el hielo No es fácil cargar el peso De andar sin miedo El viento del norte azota tu manera de subsistir Y nadie protege el derecho que tienes para existir Empuña tus manos y conviértete en pura convicción Transfórmate en objetivo, se la causa para la reacción No es fácil ser el primero No es fácil romper el hielo No es fácil cargar el peso De andar sin miedo Tiempo de resucitar Vuelve a mirar Como si fuese la primera vez Sin despreciar Toda tu posibilidad de ser Y encontrarás Que aquel que por primera ves mintió Tenía igual Necesidad de lo que una vez sintió Que era capaz De conquistar en su máxima expresión Al derrotar Y derrumbar los muros del terror No es fácil andar sin miedo

Take a Bow 05:00
I don’t know if I can hide any longer This satisfaction that fills me up inside When it is brought to my attention The repulsion that you can no longer hide The stench is caused by putrefaction Built up, piled on, by methods of distraction Into that fatal corner of your depraved intentions From which it spread your toxic infection And I don’t know if you can hide any longer All that repulsion that fills you up inside When it is brought to your attention The desolation that you cannot hide The waiting, the feeling Of knowing you’ll be on display Unveiling, revealing The unworthiness of your ways Take the stage and take a bow and witness all the devastation you have wrought It’s not like you made just an honest mistake Out of control Have no restraint Cause when you’re wronged Almost everyday The only peace you feel Is when against a wall All your knuckles bleed Remembering your foes And if that should fail, what else is at risk? Other consequences that you can’t foresee How many dreams must you finally drown? How many hopes can you bury in the ground? Some simple choices that everyone makes Year after month after week after day Trying to find a reason, another excuse To ignore all the hurtful things that you do The only thing that keeps me from getting to you The only thing that keeps me from turning into you Is restraint Restraint, it’s what you lack the most And it’s the only thing That keeps my anger in place From taking hold of you And draining your life away So now… Take the stage and take a bow and witness all the devastation you have wrought It’s not like you made just an honest mistake

Jack 05:18
Depredadores, no teman más Sus inseguridades voy a descuartizar Horrores nuevos al paladar Elaborados para cualquier apetito saciar Aristócratas, no hay que temer Sus ansiedades voy a desaparecer Implacable al proveer Elaborados asesinatos sin resolver Ahora soy una obsesión Solo otra fascinación Pues admito que no existe nada Más puro que el filo de una navaja No tiene prejuicios, no otorga ventajas El acto sencillo de una puñalada Desde el frío infierno le escribo, querido Sr. Lusk Le envío este medio riñón Preservado para usted Mientras la otra mitad, a fuego lento y voraz Poco a poco voy a devorar Con gusto y placer Si usted puede esperar, tal vez le podría enviar La navaja que para cortar Con ella utilicé Atrápeme si puede Encájame si puedes Dentro de una teoría O dentro de la fantasía Que más te conviene El símbolo de todo aquello que no puedes comprender, me llaman Jack el destripador El símbolo de todo aquello que no quieres entender, me llaman Jack el destripador Aristocracias Depredadoras Un mundo sin héroes a quien venerar Es una tragedia Que más se puede esperar De una sociedad que hace inmortal… ¡a un animal! Ahora soy una obsesión Solo otra fascinación

What has become your paramount? The inner calling inside yourself It used to be some childish dream Now surrendered for the comfort of worshipping… A system has no sense Of itself or no one else A system simply is It doesn’t need or bleed Why would you worship that Which doesn’t need you back? So give me your tired And give me your poor Give me the liberty To shoot myself in the foot Give me the chance to dance Along the subtle lullaby Of faceless negotiators And the capitalization of time What do you see When you look at the screen Pictographic representations Two dimensional realities What do you see When you take a look at me Certainly not a translation Of what a person should be So if this a representation then why we’re Pretending to be, more than we are Losing our souls, worshipping lies Treasuring what’s feeding our pride Choosing this bile we call a life Instead of ourselves, so tell me now What has become your paramount? A system without shame A system without emotion A system without mercy A system without honor…

Antipoesia 03:30
La moral... lealtad La moral... lealtad... la vanidad Oculta detrás de tu elocuencia Cada palabra que escribes está Contaminada por una traición Víctimas de tu falta de moderación Antipoesía Los medios no justifican el fin Que le transmite a otros dolor Interminablemente así Vas destruyendo sin razón Poniendo fuera de su lugar La pasión donde estaba la dignidad Antipoesía Poniendo el talento Donde iba la moral Poniendo la vanidad Donde iba la lealtad Vas componiendo la destrucción...

Courtesy 04:59
You wouldn’t care, and wouldn’t try To shake hands with a leper, who’s to die Right at your feet, spending his life Spilling his blood in your eyes A smile, a nod, a word, a jest, Some spare change at best and then out of sight and out of mind Locking your doors, washing your hands, You can’t avoid, Seeing the truth while sowing your eyes shut You can’t afford to see me as something that feels all that you see through tv screens is not real to you a suffering that you cannot feel What makes you think that courtesy Can take the place of true concern? A smile cannot replace a soul a gesture of a heart that’s burnt Every day of your life You keep walking away From the humanity That you’ve just left behind Walking by while there is death at your feet Yet by forgetting the whole world you still have blood on your hands Which will not wash away Those who don’t care about the pain in the world They hold in their hands just as much responsibility for it You may plead ignorance, and pretend that is bliss Will not make you immune, and it will not take away your guilt

When your falsehood stains the air It’s hard for anyone to breathe but you... You smile... With acid dripping from your teeth In case you don’t know something That for so long has been tried and true From you... We’ve all become anemic Cause Nothing you say Bears a shred of truth Nothing you do Is worth any respect Nothing you feel Is good to anyone else Ashes from within The forest of your poisoned lies Being purged by flame it burns Ashes from within The forest of your poisoned lies Being spread too far away It has to burn, burn, burn, burn When you wrap your fingers ‘round The arteries of honesty you feed You gnaw, you lacerate our purity In case you don’t know something That for so long has been tried and true To you, we’ve all become allergic The only way you cannot lie Is by ripping your tongue from your mouth The only way you wont deceive Is by shoving your eyes down your throat. The only way you feel alive Is by sinking your hands in your bile The only way you’ll speak the truth Is by carving your words in your bones Heartless… All of your actions have driven you down a heartless path There has always been poison in your veins It has always been winter in your heart And your promises are all laced with suffering Words of salt and ash, words of salt and fucking ash Ash The ash From your lies Stains the air Just like blood In the water There’s no hope To regain peace or clarity Lies are spoken Trust is broken Words unspoken Vows are broken Bones are broken

Apologia 04:10
Una justificación Es lo más que se puede esperar Por tantas disculpas acreditar Es pérdida de humillación Ya no aguanto más... Cada vez que pides perdón Otra puerta se cierra en tu ser Miro a la ventana esperando ver Una salida de esta prisión Si mis disculpas, son errores al fin Porque pido disculpas por disculpas que di Y es un ciclo, es co-dependencia Pues tengo que pedir disculpas para poder vivir Pues Ya no hay más disculpas Ya no hay más excusas No hay más perdones Que exigir Ni más disculpas Soy libre al fin... Ya no como cuentos Pues ya no puedo más ¿Cuál es la razón? ¿Por qué me tengo que defender Ante tu acusación? Mi vergüenza no va a deshacer Lo que ya sucedió Tendrás que derrumbar ese altar De conceptos en ti Y que sólo tu haces real Pues la palabra es viento al fin Las palabras, son solo aire, se disuelven, en el aire... Si no encuentras las respuestas A lo que estas buscando Y todo te va desilucionando Date cuenta ya Que es la pregunta lo que tienes que cambiar Pues las palabras son suspiros que se pierden en el viento La respuesta sólo se encuentra en el ser humano que tienes adentro

The pride, the rise, and all deeds in the making Creation, organization, and the will for the taking No one to turn to, no one to look up to Not one helping hand in my game A victim, a witness and a defendant at my own case Have you ever noticed that It’s never quite the same To be in the front, carrying the torch, and take it to the end The path that I have chosen, it was for me to take And not for you or anybody else I witnessed the peak of an age go down So now I sit at the end Wondering… will I be missed, or be despised as my kingdom falls? To make a difference here Requires courage to act Cause most people despise What you do for them So please accept this sacrifice The will to live, the will to die… It’s easier to complain Than doing things for yourself Have you ever noticed that It’s never quite the same To be in the front, carrying the torch, and take it to the end The path that I have chosen, it was for me to take And not for you or anybody else Have I made a difference at all? Will somebody cry when I’m gone? How I’ll be remembered now? As everyone and everything comes crumbling down… down… So now I sit at the end Wondering… will I be missed, or be despised as my kingdom falls? So now I sit at the end As my kingdom falls... wondering, will I be missed as my kingdom falls?
11.
Perdido en las tinieblas Un sueño se envenena Y arrasa con todo en su camino Las cosas que corrompen El corazón de los hombres Siempre se ocultan en el olvido Todos tenemos, en la memoria Historias tristes para contar ¿Dónde se encuentran, todas las voces Que no se pueden nunca escuchar? Ser, o no ser parte de esta divina comedia Ver, o no ver como es una simple tragedia Que nadie escucha aquello que nadie nunca escucha… El grito del silencio explota los oídos De aquellos pobres y desgraciados ciegos Incapaces de ver en su propio reflejo Las mentiras que forjan el infierno Soñé promesas que no serían cumplidas Las semillas de una nueva vida Ser, o no ser parte de esta divina comedia Ver, o no ver como es una simple tragedia Que nadie escucha aquello que nadie nunca escucha… Todos los sueños perdidos se encuentran escondidos en el grito del silencio… Todas las voces perdidas se encuentran escondidas en el grito del silencio…
