After a wildly successful tour across South America in late 2005, the band decided, in their own words, to "stop for a while". Some of their members went on to form side band projects such as No Relax and The Locos. As time went by without further notices, many Ska-P fans feared the band had been gone for good. On late April 2008 and for the rejoice of their worldwide fans, they announced their return as a band on their official site.
Their new album, "Lágrimas y gozos", was released the 7th of October 2008 and its first single is called "Crimen sollicitationis". The band is going to perform various shows around South America and Europe in November and December.

¿Quienes Sois
Ska-P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
¿Como sois, respiráis?
Quiero ver si en vuestros ojos hay humanidad
Mostraros ya, salid de ahí, os haremos sucumbir
Bilderberg, sanguinarios grupos de poder
El mundo está a sus pies
"Lobys man" mensajeros para corromper
El mundo juega al ajedrez. OH OH OH!
Ellos controlan el poder. OH OH OH!
Y los peones morirán. OH OH OH!
Defendiendo a su rey
No, no me voy a rendir, no me doblegaré
Voy a seguir en guardia, quiero ver como caéis
Me tendréis que matar, para poder callar
Las voces de los muertos de este orden criminal
Este orden asesino
¡Rebélate!
FMI y las ratas del banco mundial
Siervos sois, del gran capital
Por detrás caras que jamás se dejan ver
¿Quienes sois? Salid de ahí, os haremos sucumbir
El mundo juega al ajedrez. OH OH OH!
Ellos controlan el poder. OH OH OH!
Y los peones morirán. OH OH OH!
Defendiendo a su rey
No, no me voy a rendir, no me doblegaré
Voy a seguir en guardia, quiero ver como caéis
Me tendréis que matar, para poder callar
Las voces de los muertos de este orden criminal
Este orden asesino
¡Rebélate!
Existe Lucifer, hambriento de poder
Se alimenta de codicia
Puede dominar a la humanidad
E infectarla de inmundicia
El mundo juega al ajedrez
Ellos controlan el poder
Y los peones morirán
Defendiendo a su rey
No, no me voy a rendir, no me doblegaré
Voy a seguir en guardia, quiero ver como caéis
Me tendréis que matar, para poder callar
Las voces de los muertos de este orden criminal
Este orden asesino
¡Rebélate!
The lyrics to Ska-P's song "¿Quienes Sois?" tackles the theme of corruption and power in society. The song begins by questioning who the people in power are and how they operate in the darkness. The lyrics suggest a desire to see if there is any humanity left in their eyes. The song then takes aim at groups like Bilderberg, which are seen as ruthless and powerful, with the world at their feet. These groups are portrayed as messengers of corruption, capable of governing and dominating without any resistance. The lyrics express the frustration of being controlled by these powerful entities, comparing it to a game of chess where the pawns (ordinary people) will die defending the king (the powerful).
The chorus continues to highlight the power dynamics and control exercised by these hidden forces. The lyrics express a refusal to surrender or bow down, pledging to remain vigilant and witness their downfall. The defiance is strong, with the singer asserting that they will have to be killed in order to silence the voices of the dead, representing the victims of this corrupt system.
The song then turns its attention to the IMF and the World Bank, referring to them as rats serving the interests of the capitalist elite. The lyrics highlight the hypocrisy of these faces that never show themselves, bringing forth the question of who they truly are. The song concludes by drawing a parallel between Lucifer's hunger for power and the ability to dominate and corrupt humanity. The lyrics reiterate the desire to rebel against this murderous order and refuse to be silenced.
Overall, "¿Quienes Sois?" captures the frustration and anger towards the hidden powers that control society, urging listeners to question and resist their dominance.
