1. Vox Dei (Latin: God's Voice) is an Argentine rock band. Its most prolific years were the 1970s, having recorded 10 albums.
The band's original members were Juan Carlos "Yody" Godoy (guitar and vocals), Ricardo Soulé (guitar and vocals), Rubén Basoalto (drums) and Willy Quiroga (bass and vocals).
In 1968 they recorded a version of Percy Sledge's "When a Man Loves a Woman", and the company Mandioca organized an audition for them in the Payró theatre. The members of Manal and Almendra were also present, and a few hours later they played together. In 1970 they recorded for Mandioca their first album Caliente.
In the B.A. Rock Festival Vox Dei played the first part of the theme "Genesis", which had no lyrics yet. In February 1971 they released La Biblia ('The Bible'). Being the first Argentine concept album, it became a turning point in the history of Argentine rock; even the Archdiocese, that had asked to examine the lyrics, recommended young people to buy it. Right after the recording of La Biblia, Jorge Godoy left the band and was replaced by Ignacio Smilari.
In 1972 they re-edited their first album and recorded the third one, Jeremías Pies de Plomo. During the first shows after the release, they recorded La Nave Infernal and a few months later Es una Nube, No Hay Duda. After Vox Dei para Vox Dei of 1974, Ricardo Soulé announced he would leave the band to start as a soloist. Carlos Michelini replaced him while recording Estamos en la Pecera in 1975, and then was himself replaced by Raúl Fernandez. In 1976 they recorded Ciegos de Siglos.
Soulé returned to the band in 1978 to record Gata de Noche. Slowly the differences between the musicians started to grow, but they respected the contract that kept them together until 1981. In 1986 Vox Dei regrouped to present and record live "La Biblia" in the Teatro Ópera. In 1988 they made a "come back", to produce Tengo Razones para Seguir with Luis Valenti. Towards the end of 1989, Ricardo Soulé the band left again. In 1992 Carlos Gardellini becomes his new guitar. With guitar Gardellini have recorded the albums: Sin Darle Ya Más Vueltas in 1994, and El Camino in 2005. They have recorded with Ricardo Soulé a remake of La Biblia in 1997 entitled La Biblia II. On November 3, 2010, drummer Rubén Basoalto dies of lung cancer. After that, the band has a not well defined future.
2. Vox Dei is a Christian Progressive Heavy Metal band from Guatemala. Vox Dei was formed in 1989 in Guatemala City, the name means God's Voice. It is usually confused with the secular band from Argenitna Vox Dei. For many, Vox Dei are the fathers of the Guatemalan White Metal.

Vox Dei Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Labrando tierra tendrás tu pan.
Todos los ríos van al mar
Pero éste nunca se llenará.
Todos los ríos
Siempre volverán a donde salieron,
Para comenzar a correr de nuevo.
Lo que siempre hicieron repetirán.
No olvidar,
Lo que ves ya se ha visto ya.
Tal vez un día lo sabrás
Todo tiene un tiempo bajo el sol.
Porque habrá siempre
Tiempo de plantar y de cosechar,
Tiempo de hablar, también de callar.
Hay tiempo para guerra y tiempo de paz
Tiempo para el tiempo y un rato más.
Buenas y malas son,
Cosas que vivo hoy.
No es ésta tierra, no
Sueño color azul.
¿No es quizás que no sé mirar?
Cuanto, cuanto hay a mi alrededor,
Más de lo que mis ojos pueden mirar
Y llegar a ver.
Estas son razones que dicen que:
Sólo sé,
Que sé querer.
Y que tengo Dios
Y tengo fe.
Y que doy amor
Y puedo ser...
Sé que en algún lugar
Alguien me espera hoy.
Sé que ahora tengo yo
Alguien a quien buscar.
¿No es quizás que ahora sé mirar?
Cuanto, cuanto hay a mi alrededor,
Más de lo que mis ojos pueden mirar,
Y llegar a ver.
Estas son razones que dicen que:
Sólo sé
Que sé querer.
Y que tengo Dios,
Y tengo fe.
Y que doy amor,
Y puedo ser.
The song "Profecias" by Vox Dei talks about the cyclical nature of life and its continuous flow. The first verse mentions the importance of working hard to make a living by farming and how rivers always find their way back to the sea. The chorus highlights the concept of time and how everything has a specific time, whether it be time to plant and harvest or a time for war and peace. The second verse is more introspective, as the singer talks about the ups and downs of life and how they perceive the colors of the world around them. They talk about having faith, love, and the ability to be what they strive for. The final chorus talks about finding someone special and the clarity to see everything around them.
The song addresses existential themes concerning human life, such as the uncertainty of the future and the inevitability of change and how it can be hard to understand that flow. It talks about taking a step back to appreciate everything around us rather than focusing only on what is in front of us. It talks about the importance of faith and love and how they can help us become better people.

Good and bad things are all part of life. This isn't heaven; it's more like a dream of blue. Maybe I can't see clearly. There's so much around me, more than I can perceive. These are the reasons that tell me I only know that I can love, and I have faith in God, and I can give love, and be.
