Verse 1

The bitter words, the forgotten silences

The lies that they told, to steal a few pieces

How much dust they raised, to show us their greatness

What they really achieved was that they made us sad

And such grief they give, they won't see us cry anymore

How much is what you are worth, how much is what you give worth

They've already taken everything from us, but they won't be able to take

The hope that one day everything has to change

Chorus 1

I shout from the heart, who do those cowards think they are

That they dare to give orders if they don't know how much it's worth

Getting up in the morning to go to work

A farewell kiss, a candle to blow out

Making a couple of wishes that maybe you'll see come true

What would they know about being happy if they don't know how to smile

They've already taken everything from us, but they won't be able to take

The hope that one day everything has to change

Let them dare to look us in the eyes

Let them dare to lock us up with padlocks

We've already waited so long and we must not despair

Because everything that goes up has to come down someday

Let them dare to think that they're eternal

They haven't noticed that they're sick

That we're all going to be here ready to watch

The fall of their story and the road to its end, yeah

Bridge

The road to its end

Chorus 2

Let them dare to think that they're eternal

They haven't noticed that they're sick

And that we're all going to be here ready to watch

The fall of their story, only the memory of the pity they cause remains

And the road to its end, the road to its end

The road to its end

SONG MEANING

Grito De Guerra (War Cry) is Carlos Rivera’s rousing shout-out against injustice. Over stomping rhythms and fiery vocals, he calls out the “cobardes” who rule with lies, steal “pedazos” of people’s lives, and pretend to be eternal. Rivera lists their offenses—bitter words, forgotten silences, raised dust meant to show off their “greatness”—then flips the script: they only managed to spread sadness. Yet even after “they’ve taken everything,” one treasure remains untouchable: hope that things will change.

The song salutes everyday heroes who wake up early, kiss loved ones goodbye, make wishes over a candle, and head to work—all things the powerful can’t understand because they’ve forgotten how to smile. With the promise that “what goes up must come down,” Rivera invites listeners to stand firm, eyes wide open, ready to witness the downfall of corrupt rulers. It’s both a protest anthem and an uplifting reminder that collective resilience can topple any false empire—one united war cry at a time.
