Otra Religión

Along with the eternal rain fell
After ten millennia, the ground sank
And from the seas, he finally emerged
He said: I am Marduk
Who are you?

I, as king, had the great honor
Of conversing and learning his intentions
If you want to help, show it
Give us food, shelter, protect us

And he gave us his laws, my people prospered

Today I sing to the new idol
To a powerful being, to win his favor
And on my knees, I beg the new God
To take on my pain

All my people knelt before him
His laws were the word of God
And so I made it known, and I engraved it in stone
Changing a few lines

And he gave us his laws, my people prospered
Although power almost took me away

Today I sing to the new idol
To a powerful being, to win his favor
And on my knees, I beg the new God
To take charge of my pain
I will be your slave and subject
I will abide by your law, I will worship you fervently
I will always be faithful to you unless another God
Offers me a better life

Marduk, I love you
Marduk, brother
Marduk, villain
Today we judge you

The day arrived, and Marduk faced
Those weapons he himself had made for them
And banished, filled with confusion
This reflection arose in his mind

When people make you their God
You must draw them out of their madness
And make them see that you are just another pawn
In the battle between fear and love

The same war that rages within you
To win, use your heart
In it, you will find your longed-for protection
Be will, be justice, be honor

You will never believe in another religion
