el duende del arbol

In his eyes, I could never find evil
But, sometimes, to not die you have to kill
It all happened that night when blind
And drunk he tried to scare us
But an unlucky blow
Left his knife stuck in his evil

That's how we had to murder the tree's elf
Kill... And cut... And cut

His knife had gutted two elves already
But in these stories, no one can ever celebrate
That's how we had to bury the tree's elf
In parts... We had to cover... And forget... And forget

'What is that law - asked the elf to the Sun
That even if I kill always
I will always get forgiveness?'
But to that law, that night I broke it

Only the sky wanted to see what was left of him
Our fear turned into hatred in a cruel instant
That's how we could give the tree's elf a little bit of peace... Of peace

What is that law? The elf asked God
That even if I kill always, I will always get forgiveness
But that law, that night I broke it

And now I have this elf buried
And already without forgiveness
