Curiosity is basically the desire to discover, know and find out what is it that surrounds us. From the very beginning of time, human curiosity is what motivates us on the race that is survival. It has sometimes impulsed us to good will, helping others and ourselves. Some other times, we gnaw for uncertainty, knowing what and why, and it makes us be reckless, sometimes… leading us to death.
A young man determined to understand what is behind the uphill cold mountains from Coyhaique, inmerses himself in his own tale, ignoring every warning to not go on this task during winter dusk. Once he has reached the top of the mountain, surrounded by the quiet obscurity that blocks the way back home, he realises his big mistake… as he, unwillingly, began his quest for survival in the middle of the cold and unforgiving “patagonian” nights. Huddled under the mountanious walls, below the white snow that burned his face and limbs, as well as the thin air that sliced through his throat, he prepared to close his eyes in peace. However, after countless hours of freezing and starving, he ran vigurously out of his refuge, seduced by a light emerging uphill from the woods. Surprise is what he felt, when he realised that the bright glowing came from a small plain at the boundaries of the mountain, where in the middle, under an unrealistic scenario… there was a book, but not just any book. It’s the book that contained all of the legends, stories and tragedies from the region. Finally, guided by the madness, nearing the door to his own end, and triggered by his curiosity, he decides to open and read what’s written, not meditating about the consequences that may occur, condemning the townspeople’s lives, as well as his own…

In the deep
Of these unholy waters
There lies a dark secret
This place
Is covered with blood
Serving the curse.
An old man once told me
The river is a fucking killer
And it will always take
The life of the young ones
The river will drag you
Where there is no going back
The stones will hit your head
The water will drown your lungs
Nobody will find my corpse
‘Cause by the river it was dragged down
You can only see how my fucking life is going
The water is turning red
But I cannot scream
There is no turning back
I just have to accept my death
The river will drag you
Where there is no going back
The stones will hit your head
The water will drown your lungs
Dont follow me
To perdition
Just let me go
Just let me go

Mountains
04:26
|
|||
When the night
Is falling
All paths are hidden to me
I can´t go
Back to my home
I will close my eyes forever
All of nature has taken my life
The mountain doesn’t let me run
I can feel the rain on my face
I’ll be the one with the high ground
Don’t seek me
Let me die
Or the mountain will steal your life
All of my blood
Is on the floor
Running cold from my head
I’m dying
Don't follow me anymore
My death will be the new seed
The sun is now rising
But it’s too late for me
My pale corpse is now part of this mountain
All life is gone
The sun is now rising
But it’s too late for me
My pale corpse is now part of this mountain
Watch my blood
Watch my flesh
It’ll be just a memory
For you

The Black Horseman
05:42
|
|||
From the distance I can see
On the road
A man with a horse
I can not see his face
He is completely dressed in black
I can feel the pain
That has been living in this place
As a child I used to listen to the story
The legend of a black horseman
Galloping down the road
Sentencing your death
I am arriving in Coyhaique
In the middle of the night
The fog surrounds me
And doesn't let me move forward
I close my eyes
Only for a moment
And letting myself go with the ground
I can not feel
Anything
Now I’m dead
Those who cross his path
They will meet a painful death
Don’t wait until dusk
Or the black horseman will not leave you alive
The black rider is coming
You must be afraid
You can not escape him
It's your last sentence, your death
I close my eyes
Just for a moment
And let myself go with the ground
I close my eyes
Just for a moment
And let myself go with the ground
Now I am dead

The Fruit and the Bird
05:37
|
|||
A woman transformed into a fruit
Divine punishment for loving the one she should not
A man transformed into a bird
Flying to find what can not be forgotten
So much hate between two tribes
Evil was bigger
Than the love for her father
The magic will take care of separating them
And nature will take care of bringing them back together
A woman who can still hear
A woman who can still love
You will carry this sadness with you forever
You will carry this sadness with you
They couldn't kill you
But they took away what you loved the most
By a sorcerer's spell
You won't be able to see her anymore
You will be stronger
You will be braver
Until the day you find her
A woman transformed into a fruit
Divine punishment for loving the one she should not
A man transformed into a bird
Flying to find what can not be forgotten
A young man who can still feel her
A young man who can find her
Nature will help you in your quest
Nature will help you in this quest
Now the time has come
You feel the sweetness of having found
What you were looking for so long
For so long
You will bring with you forever
The sorcerer's curse
Everyone who consumes your fruit
Will be sentenced to die here

Sentenced to Die Here
05:21
|
|||
It is the forbidden fruit of from nature
That will condemn you to die here
Can’t do anything against this curse
You are already doomed
You are doomed
You cannot run
You cannot hide
You will be part of this sacrifice
You will die
There is no way out
Nature is inside you (nature is a part of you)
A woman transformed into a fruit
Became a threat to people
Nobody can escape their surroundings
Just keep eating
Calafate
Now is the time to recover what is ours
All the trees
All the grass
The nature is for us
You cannot run
You cannot hide
You will be part of this sacrifice
You will die
There is no way out
Nature is inside you (nature is part of you)
You can't run
You cant' hide
You will be part of this sacrifice
You will die
No way out
The nature is inside you (...)

Human Extermination
04:07
|
|||
Everything you saw and everything you'll see
It’s the end of this plague, the human race
For many years we have warned you
But you didn't listen to us
The extermination will begin
We will be reborn
Hectares of forest will grow, grow again
Once humans are removed from this world
Lands of men who wish to die painfully
I can finally recover what belongs to me
My essence
The time has come
The end is here
The new beginning
Just for me
The end of humanity
Is here

The Island of the Dead
09:31
|
|||
The isolation, the fear and disease
For two hundred workers it was one of the blackest years
The anger, the sadness and even revenge
Destroyed families, that will never be the same
A new future was promised for them
A new beginning near the Baker river
But time will reveal what they did
But time will show what those motherfuckers do
Manager: Sir, the company has no money
And we have to feed those fucking slaves
Maybe we should, maybe just kill them
Boss: So it will be a complete, Annihilation,
Total slaughter a complete extermination of
People, time will conceal our crime
No more food, just pain in their souls
It will be sealed in that place eternally.
So the nature witnessed once again
That humans have guided it to its end
Cold nights don't let me cry
I'll die here ‘cause a lie
Our days are reckoned in this land
Useless sacrifice.
Days of agony, months of endless pain
The river will bury what remains of me
Days of agony, months of endless pain
The river will drown what I was, but
Suddenly a light appeared
Is this a dream? I cannot see
What's in front of me, is it you my lord?
Or just a thought, I can not breathe I don't have control
Then a voice woke me up, I'm alive
Few of us survived, we are alive
The aftermath of negligence
Will last forever.
The isolation, the fear and disease
For two hundred workers it was one of the blackest years
The anger, the sadness and even revenge
It will be complete annihilation
Total slaughter a complete extermination of
People, time will conceal our crime
No more food, just pain in their souls
It will be sealed in that place eternally.
So the nature witnessed once again
That humans have guided it to its end
Cold nights don't let me cry
I'll die here ‘cause a lie
Our days are reckoned in this land
Useless sacrifice.
The abyss of pain it's called “The Island of the Death”
My friend, It is dark like an
Abyss of pain it's called “The Island of the Death”
My friend, It's darker than hell

Remorse
05:21
|
|||
Somebody please shoot me in the head
I can not live anymore (blow up my brain)
I know everything
But i wish didn't know anything
Somebody please kill me
Somebody...
Now I am a murderer
I can not save you
Take my eyes and look at what I see
Feel my despair in being a part of this
I know what happened on the mountain
I know the river is cursed
This is part of their plan
The annihilation of humanity
Remorse kills me
There is no escape for me
I cannot do anything for Aysen
“La Piedra del Indio” (La Piedra del Indio)
Is the best option
To end my suffering
My memories will go with the wind
My sentence is to die
No more remorse for me
There is no salvation
No turning back
For me, for us
Now I am a murderer
I can not save you
Take my eyes and look what i see
Feel my despair in being a part of this
I know what happened on the mountain
I know the river is cursed
This is part of their plan
The annihilation of humanity
Somebody please shoot me in the head
I can not live anymore (blow up my brain)
The indian stone (d’indian stone)
Is the best option
To end my suffering
My memories will go with the wind
My sentence is to die
No more remorse for me
There is no salvation
No turning back
For me , for us

Stone Heart
06:22
|
|||
Now is the time to end the story
The remorse is killing (tormenting) my mind
Please tell me how can I live this way
I cannot shout out the whole truth
Death is the only fucking option
To remove the suffering of my heart
The winds will take the lives, the spirit
Of everyone who knows the damn secret
Just leave me alone
Let me fly and die
Only I know the pain i bring
And you will never know x2
Now is the time to end the story
I am going fucking insane
Just tell me, how can I live this way?
I would feel better if I was dead
Death is the only fucking option
To end the suffering of my heart
The winds will take the lives, the spirits
I can not live anymore
