Esquadrão de Tortura – 2013

1.NO ESCAPE FROM HELL
Lyrics: A. Christófaro

MILITARY TIMES
ARRIVED
A BETTER ERA COMING?
NOBODY KNOWS
REASSURING WORDS
PACIFY
APRIL FOOL’S DAY…

A SET OF ACTIONS
FROM JANGO
CONTENTING SOME
OTHERS NOT
OPERATION BROTHER SAM
FOR THE NATIONAL ELITE
AND ARMED FORCES…

THE TIME IS NOW!

FURTHER INTERESTS CORRUPTING LIVES
BURNING MONEY BUYING WHO THEY WANT
EVERYTHING WILL BE SAID AND SHOWN
THE FUCKING MEDIA IS UP FOR SALE

NO ESCAPE FROM HELL
NO ESCAPE FROM HELL
NO ESCAPE FROM HELL
NO ESCAPE…

NO ESCAPE FROM HELL!

POWER ASSAULTED
STATE OF TERROR

PRESIDENT AWAY
CRACKDOWN MEASURES
A NEW CONSTITUTION ESTABLISHED
MANDATES REPEALED
NO ONE SHOULD DARE
TO CROSS THIS NEW PATH… NO!

LAWS BREACHED
INSTITUTIONAL ACTS
THE DOMINATION FUELS
THE POWER CORRUPTS
NOT EVEN KNOWING
THE COURSE OF THE NATION
BUT IT DOESN’T MATTER…
IT DOESN’T MATTER TO… YOU!

“ON THE ROAD TO CIVIL WAR”
THE EXCUSE TO TAKE CONTROL
DARK GREEN NOW IS THE LAW
THERE’S NO EXIT…
THERE’S NO RETURN…

NO WAY!

NO ESCAPE FROM HELL
NO ESCAPE FROM HELL
NO ESCAPE FROM HELL
NO WAY OUT…
NO ESCAPE FROM HELL
NO ESCAPE FROM HELL
NO ESCAPE FROM HELL

2.PULL THE TRIGGER
Lyrics: A. Christófaro

HEY! PEOPLE!
NEW GOD, NEW RULES RIGHT NOW
DON’T EVER DISAGREE WITH THIS
THE “RED SCARE” IS NEAR
YOUR FAITH IS NOT SO CLEAR
THEY GOTTA MAKE YOU BELIEVE

RESTORE THE DISCIPLINE
AND MILITARY HIERARCHY
AGAINST THE COMMUNIST THREAT
IT’S PART OF THE EXCUSE
ABOUT ALL THE ABUSE
UPON ALL WHO OPPOSE THEM

PEOPLE ON THE STREETS
REPRESSION IN THE AIR
MODEL CITIZENS GO
BUT CANNOT RETURN
LACK OF DEMOCRACY
NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS
CAN’T EVEN LIVE IN PEACE

PULL THE TRIGGER
POSSESSED BY THE POWER
PULL THE TRIGGER
DEATH IS ALL AROUND

UNKNOWN… ONE DEAD…
ONE LESS… MORE LEAD…

THERE’S NO OTHER CHOICE!

1968 – THE YEAR THAT NEVER ENDED

WHERE IS THE RESPECT?
WHERE IS THE PEACE?

A THIRD WORLD’S LEADER KILLED
EDSON LUIS SHOT DEAD
KILLING ON BLOODY FRIDAY
ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND MARCHING
IBIÚNA FALLS IN AMBUSH
WORKERS AND STUDENTS JAILED

PEOPLE ON THE STREETS
REPRESSION IN THE AIR
MODEL CITIZENS GO
NO RETURNING…
LACK OF DEMOCRACY
NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS
CAN’T EVEN LIVE IN PEACE
CAN’T EVEN LIVE…

PULL THE TRIGGER
PULL THE TRIGGER
UNKNOWN… ONE DEAD…
ONE LESS… MORE LEAD…

PULL THE TRIGGER
POSSESSED BY THE POWER
PULL THE TRIGGER
DEATH IS ALL AROUND

UNKNOWN… ONE DEAD…
ONE LESS… MORE LEAD…

THERE’S NO OTHER CHOICE!

PULL THE TRIGGER

3.PÁTRIA LIVRE
Lyrics: A. Christófaro

O DEVER DO POVO E DE TODO CIDADÃO
É FAZER REVOLUÇÃO PELAS PRÓPRIAS MÃOS
CONQUISTANDO O PODER PELA VIOLÊNCIA
TROCANDO O IMPERIALISMO PELO POVO ARMADO!

PÁTRIA LIVRE !

4.WARDANCE
Lyrics: A. Evaristo

MEMBERS OF THE CCC PROVOKING RAGE
ON LIBERTARIANS FIGHTING THE DICTATORSHIP
OPPOSITE IDEOLOGIES IN THE ARENA
THE GATES OF HELL ARE OPEN
BEDLAM ON MARIA ANTÔNIA STREET

WARDANCE
DIVIDE AND CONQUER
WARDANCE

“TO PROTECT THE PATRIMONY OF THE SCHOOL”
SHOCK TROOPS PUSH THE CROWD INTO THE STREETS
HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS BURN POLICE CARS
SOLDIERS WITH MACHINE GUNS
MASSACRE ON BANDEIRAS SQUARE

UPROAR!

BOMBS EXPLODE
BLAST OF WINDOWS
RIFLES AND PISTOLS
BRICKS AND ACID

INFILTRATED AMONG STUDENTS
UNDERCOVER AGENTS FROM THE POLICE
TANKS, TROOPS AND DOGS
TAKE OVER THE COLLEGES

MOLOTOVS BURN DOWN “PHILOSOPHY”
POLICE FIRE INTO THE SKY
STUDENTS CHARGE TO THE FIGHT
MANY SAY AN INFORMANT LURKS IN THE CROWD
A PROTESTER TAKES A SHOT TO THE HEAD

WARDANCE
DIVIDE AND CONQUER
WARDANCE

5.ARCHITECTURE OF PAIN
Lyrics: A. Christófaro

REPRESSION TO KEEP THE ORDER
FOR THOSE AGAINST THE “GREEN”
POLICE THROTTLED STUDENTS AND CLOSED UNIVERSITIES
POLITICIANS, PRESS OR ANYONE
GOING TO THE “OTHER SIDE”
WILL OPEN THEIR EYES IN A DARKENED ROOM FACING DEATH

FACING DEATH…

A FIERY SPEECH IS ECHOED
THROUGH THE CONGRESSIONAL HALL
THE ARGUMENT, THEY WANTED TO MANIPULATE THE LAW
THE AI-5 ARISES
AND VIOLENCE STARTS TO BLOOM
“JUST TO PREVENT THE DISINTEGRATION OF THE REGIME”

WE’RE HERE TO KEEP THE ORDER IS WHAT THEY SAY
ORDER AND PROGRESS!

ORDER – THEY’LL KNOW WHERE YOU ARE
PROGRESS – THEY WILL FIND YA
BULLSHIT – THEIR TRUTH YOU MUST TALK

ARCHITECTURE OF PAIN

ORDER – THEY’LL KNOW WHERE YOU ARE
PROGRESS – THEY WILL FIND YA
BULLSHIT – THEIR TRUTH YOU MUST TALK

ARCHITECTURE…

ARCHITECTURE OF… PAIN!

MANY PEOPLE ARRESTED
TORTURED TO THE DEATH
AND THE WORST OF ALL
NOT KNOWING WHY
MANY DISAPPEARED
MILITARY PRISONS
FAMILIES ARE WAITING
FOR ANSWERS THAT NEVER COME
THEN WE HAVE TO SAY

NO MORE… THESE TIMES NO MORE
FIGHT FOR… FAIR TIMES FOR US AND EVERYONE
NO MORE… THESE TIMES NO MORE
FIGHT FOR… FAIR TIMES…

FEAR IS IN THE AIR
THE YELLOW/GREEN TURNS TO GRAY
THE GOVERNMENT “WRITES” ANTHEMS FOR THE PEOPLE TO SING
FOOTBALL TRIUMPHANT
SOME REJOICE ON THE STREETS
NOT EVEN THE “ECONOMIC MIRACLE” RELIEVES THE PAIN

WE’RE HERE TO KEEP ORDER IS WHAT THEY SAY
LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT!

ORDER – THEY’LL KNOW WHERE YOU ARE
PROGRESS – THEY WILL FIND YA
BULLSHIT – THEIR TRUTH YOU MUST TALK

ARCHITECTURE OF PAIN

ORDER – THEY’LL KNOW WHERE YOU ARE
PROGRESS – THEY WILL FIND YA
BULLSHIT – THEIR TRUTH YOU MUST TALK
ARCHITECTURE…

ARCHITECTURE OF PAIN!

6.NEVER SURRENDER
Lyrics: A. Christófaro and Castor

ALN… AP…
COLINA… M3G…
MAR… MCR…
CORRENTE… MRT…

LET’S START THE ARMED STRUGGLE
VIOLENCE YOU WANT, VIOLENCE YOU GET
WE’LL DO EVERYTHING FOR THE GOOD OF THE NATION
RESISTING TILL THE END

MNR… JR-8…
DISP…
MRM… FLN…
PCB…

MANY ARE JOINING NOW
DEFEND OUR COUNTRY, DEFEND OUR TOWN
LOOKING FOR THE BEST FOR BRASIL
HAIL DEMOCRACY!

DARE TO WIN, DARE TO FIGHT
NEVER SURRENDER

PERSISTENCE IN MINDS
NEVER SURRENDER

THE SPIRIT NEVER DIES!

ONLY ORGANIZED PEOPLE
WILL DEFEAT THIS DICTATORSHIP

YOU IMPRISON AND KILL
BUT WE STILL BREED
YOU CANNOT CONTROL EVERYTHING

ONE DAY THIS WILL STOP!

MR-26…
PCBR…
MR-8… RAN…
MEP…

EVEN WITHIN THE ARMY WE ARE
WE COME FROM THE CITIES AND COUNTRYSIDE
WE’LL DO WHATEVER WE HAVE TO DO
TO BRING YOU DOWN!

DARE TO WIN, DARE TO FIGHT
NEVER SURRENDER

PERSISTENCE IN MINDS
NEVER SURRENDER

THE SPIRIT NEVER DIES!

7.IN THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE
Lyrics: A. Christófaro

ELECTRIC SHOCK
CHANGING INTENSITY
PRODUCE BURNS AND SEIZURES

SEVERE BEATINGS
PUNCHES IN THE EARS
EARDRUMS BLOWN, YOU’RE DEAF

TRUTH SERUM
POISONED TO DEATH
DOPED TO CONFIRM ALL THEIR LIES

DROWNING IN BARRELS
HEAD UNDER WATER
NO MORE AIR, YOU’RE DEAD

IF YOU’RE AGAINST THE RULES
BE CAREFUL
THE NEXT TARGET IS YOU

IN THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE
SAY OR DIE

DRAGON’S CHAIR
SIT ON A ZINC PLATE
HIGH VOLTAGE TEARING YOUR BODY

FRIDGE CELL
FROM COLD TO UNBEARABLE HEAT
LOCKED IN A VERY SMALL ROOM
IMPOSSIBLE TO STAND OR LAY

DOPS… DOI-CODI…
CASA DA MORTE…

MILITARY DOCUMENTS PROVE
HUNDREDS OF KINDS OF TORTURE
NO MORALS IN THE QUEST TO FIND
GUERRILLAS ARMED STRUGGLE
TRAINED BY THE U.S. ARMY
THEY DEVELOP A TASTE FOR TORTURE
BETTER NOT BE TAKEN TO HQ
‘CAUSE THERE YOUR SCREAMS WON’T BE HEARD

YOU WON’T BE HEARD!

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
TORTURED AND KILLED
NOBODY IS PUNISHED FOR THESE CRIMES

AMNESTY LAW
ALLOWS THE EXILED TO RETURN
BUT SHIELDS OFFENDERS FROM PROSECUTION

IF YOU’RE AGAINST THE RULES
BE CAREFUL
THE NEXT TARGET IS YOU
IN THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE
SAY OR DIE

8.CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE
Lyrics: A. Christófaro

YOUNG IDEALISTS
THEY BELIEVE IN A CHANGE
OVERTAKING THE POWERS
WITH WEAPONS
ON THE OTHER SIDE, THE RULING POWER
FIGHTING SO CALLED ‘TERRORISM’
GUERRILHA DO ARAGUAIA…

(CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE)

REVOLUTIONARY MILITANTS
AND A FEW MORE PEASANTS
THE SMALL AGAINST THE BIG
THE POOR AGAINST THE RICH
CHINESE AND CUBAN REVOLUTIONS
CONTEMPORARY VICTORIES
THIS IS THE PARADIGM… TO ACT!

CIVIL LIBERTY
JUSTICE BE DONE
FREE WILL
THE COUNTRY IS FOR ALL

TACTICS OF GUERRILLA MOVEMENT
BRINGING PEOPLE TO THE CAUSE
TRAINING IN CHINA OR BRAZILIAN JUNGLES

WARRIORS READY TO FREE THEMSELVES
FIGHT TILL DEATH
WARRIORS READY TO FREE THEIR PEOPLE
FIGHT TILL DEATH
WARRIORS READY TO FREE BRASIL
FIGHT TILL DEATH

FIRST, SOME WERE ARRESTED AND KILLED
BUT… GUERRILLA VICTORY
MILITARY COMING AGAIN
THEY SEEM TO BE READY
END OF 1974
END OF THE DREAM

EVEN OTHER PEOPLE SUFFER
HUMBLE PEOPLE FROM ARAGUAIA
ARRESTED, BEATEN, HUMILIATED
PSYCHOLOGICAL TERROR
SURVIVORS OF THE HUNT
ARE TORTURED
AND KILLED FOR ALL TO SEE

CIVIL LIBERTY
JUSTICE BE DONE
FREE WILL

“OPERATION CLEANING”
THE ORDER IS THE BODIES DISAPPEAR
BLACK SMOKE, INCINERATION

WARRIORS READY TO FREE THEMSELVES
FIGHT TILL DEATH
WARRIORS READY TO FREE THEIR PEOPLE
FIGHT TILL DEATH
WARRIORS READY TO FREE BRASIL

9.NOTHING TO DECLARE
Lyrics: A. Evaristo

ANGEL JONES… VILLAS-BOAS… MARANHÃO DO VALLE…
GONÇALVES FIGUEIREDO… NONATO PAZ…
PAPANDRÉU… DE SÁ RORIZ… FRAZÃO SOARES…
VANINI… NEHRING… LAMARCA…

YOU HIDE YOUR CRIMES BEHIND A CURTAIN OF SILENCE
BUT THE TIME FOR YOU TO PAY IS COMING…

ALFAIATE… KUBITSCHEK… PETIT DA SILVA…
PEDREIRA FERREIRA… DE PÁDUA COSTA…
NASCIMENTO FURTADO… SALES SABOYA…
FREI TITO… FIEL FILHO… HERZOG…

“THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE NEVER DID RUN SMOOTH”

SECRET DOCUMENTS DELETED BY THE SNI
TO GET RID OF THE DATA ABOUT PEOPLE KILLED
ONLY THREE IN COMMAND TO DECIDE
WHAT ROLES “WERE USELESS”

YOU BECAME KILLERS
TO MAINTAIN SECURITY
TO ESTABLISH ORDER
IN THE NAME OF PROGRESS

SLAVES OF CONFORMITY
IS THIS YOUR CONTRIBUTION?
THE BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS
ARE THE TEARS OF THE DEAD

YOU HIDE YOUR CRIMES BEHIND A CURTAIN OF SILENCE
BUT THE TIME FOR YOU TO PAY IS COMING…
YOU CARRY THE BURDEN OF THOUSANDS OF MURDERS
SCUM OF THE EARTH, EVEN SO YOU’VE GOT…

NOTHING TO DECLARE?!

SHAME…
SHAME… ON YOU!

10.FOR THE COUNTLESS DEAD (IN MEMORIAM)
Lyrics: A. Christófaro

EVERY STORY HAS TWO SIDES
TODA HISTÓRIA TEM DOIS LADOS

THE GOOD AND BAD
O BOM E O MAL

THE TRUTH AND LIES
AS VERDADES E AS MENTIRAS

A SUPPOSED SECURITY
UMA SUPOSTA SEGURANÇA

ROADS TEARING THROUGH THE COUNTRY
ESTRADAS CORTANDO O PAÍS

THE GROWTH OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
DESENVOLVIMENTO DE CIÊNCIA E TECNOLOGIA

BUT THE PRICE FOR ALL THIS…
MAS O PREÇO POR TUDO ISSO…

IS IT NOT TOO HIGH?
NÃO É ALTO DEMAIS?

11.FEAR TO THE WORLD
Lyrics: A. Christófaro and A. Evaristo

OIL CRISIS AND GLOBAL RECESSION
AI-5 SUSPENDED
THE BEGINNING OF THE END
HARDLINE MILITARY CLANDESTINE ATTACKS
POWERLESS AGAINST OPPOSITION VICTORIES
STRIKES RECOVER THE STRENGTH OF THE PEOPLE

1983
“DIRETAS JÁ” IS THE SCREAM
DISAPPOINTMENT OVERALL

1985
THE FUCKING GAME IS OVER
THE POPULATION IS READY TO VOTE

AFTER NEVES’ DEATH
MINOR CHANGES IN POLICY BUT
THE DICTATORSHIP STILL REMAINS

1988
NEW CONSTITUTION ENACTED
DEMOCRACY FINALLY BACK?

OBSOLETE POLICY ADDICTED TO NEPOTISM
IS SOCIAL DICTATORSHIP MASKING DEMOCRACY?
SOME PAST HEROES BECOME VILLAINS
WITH THIS REALITY WHAT IS OUR FUTURE?

KEEP THE NATIONS UNDER CONTROL
TO GET THE PROFITS OF WAR
FEAR TO THE WORLD!
GLOBALIZATION IS DOMINATION
TO GET THE PROFITS OF WAR
FEAR TO THE WORLD!

LIVING IN A WORLD OF MUTUAL RESPECT
IT SEEMS LIKE MARTYRDOM
IT SEEMS BEYOND

WHAT DOESN’T KILL YOU
MAKES YOU STRONGER

EXPECT THE BEST
PREPARE FOR THE WORST
GET WHATEVER COMES
BEING YOURSELF

2011
ESTELA NOW IS IN COMMAND
WILL THE TRUTH COMMISSION MAKE ‘EM PAY?

2013
GLOBAL WAR REMAINS
EARTH PLEADS FOR LIFE

ISLANDS OF PROSPERITY IN AN OCEAN OF MISERY

POLICY
NEPOTISM
SOCIAL DICTATORSHIP
MASKING DEMOCRACY?
SOME PAST HEROES BECOME VILLAINS
WITH THIS REALITY WHAT IS OUR FUTURE?

KEEP THE NATIONS UNDER CONTROL
TO GET THE PROFITS OF WAR
FEAR TO THE WORLD!
GLOBALIZATION IS DOMINATION
TO GET THE PROFITS OF WAR
FEAR TO THE WORLD!

…BE YOURSELF!!!

THIS TERRORIST CRUSADE IS NOTHING BUT A LIE!
