Cenizas
Amset Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Si es tu deseo enviarnos a la muerte
la aceptamos orgullosos por ser tu voluntad"

Siento temblar lejos de aquí
constelaciones de cristal.
Puedo escuchar tras el rugir
de una amenaza, nuestro fin.
Un. Bajo la luna.
Dos. Perecerán.
Tres. Miles de hombres
consumidas por invasor.
Seis. Entre dos mundos.
Seis. Estallará
Seis. La nueva guerra
deslumbrando a la nocturna paz.

Son derrochados poder y fe
en la esperanza por vivir.
Bajo las nubes que en el ayer
nos dibujaron un porvenir.

Un. Naciones muertas.
Dos. Se alzarán.
Tres. Contaatacando
despertando el arma nuclear.
Seis. Entre dos mundos.
Seis. Estallará
Seis. La nueva guerra
deslumbrando a la nocturna paz.

Cenizas somos de papel,
cenizas son los rayos de luz,




cenizas fue nuestro añorado Sol,
cenizas es el presente atroz.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Amset's song Cenizas offer a unique perspective on war and death. The first two lines, "Si es tu deseo enviarnos a la muerte/La aceptamos orgullosos por ser tu voluntad," translate to "If it is your wish to send us to death/We accept it proudly because it is your will." This can be interpreted in many ways, but one could see it as a powerful statement about the sacrifice soldiers make for their country or their beliefs.


The rest of the song describes the impending doom that the singer can sense. They see the constellations of crystal, but they also hear the threat of war and destruction. The repeated phrases "Un, Dos, Tres" and "Seis, Seis, Seis" give a sense of urgency and countdown to what may be the end. The lyrics also mention the use of nuclear weapons and the resulting devastation.


Overall, the song seems to reflect on the futility and horror of war, but also the bravery and sacrifice of those who face it. It asks the listener to contemplate their own beliefs and willingness to make sacrifices for something larger than themselves.
