Contando Os Mortos Lyrics in English Ratos De Porão

Contando Os Mortos hurls the listener into a brutal newsreel: bombs overhead, cities aflame, and cynical leaders tallying casualties like entries in a ledger. Ratos de Porão aim their sonic artillery at those who profit from conflict, wielding images of blood-stained smiles, chemical warfare, and children lying lifeless to expose how greed, religion, and power intertwine. The repeated refusal to “cry” or “pray” is not hopelessness but a punk-charged rejection of empty rituals offered by the very institutions that fuel the chaos.

Beneath the thrash fury lies a rallying cry. By shouting “Eles não querem a paz” (“They don’t want peace”), the band strips away excuses and forces us to confront an uncomfortable truth: wars persist because someone, somewhere, is cashing in. The song invites you to trade passive sadness for active anger, to question authority, and to recognize that the world is literally in their hands—unless we rip it back.
