El Duende

Without a warning, hope takes him away, out there
To sail the world where he doesn’t have to speak
He comes down when everyone’s already going to sleep
In a corner of the night, his song will wait for him

Filled with smoke, the heart, with the prophet
With the witch and the jester
Today is special, he’ll wait
For anyone who wants to come in
And today, no one will be left out
Because today, no one will be left out

In the early morning when his gate unlocks
A fairy passes by, freezing gazes in the sea
Only he has his piece of warmth left
And his reason will be found amidst the rubble

Filled with smoke, the heart, with the demon
With the wise man and the chameleon
He doesn’t know how to climb
To learn, he crashes into what’s there
A tough nut to crack
That might come back tomorrow
