Film Description:
Synopsis:
“Does lack of belief lead to death?”
The video clip deals with the director / composer’s childhood vision in relation to religious practices of Afro-Brazilian origin. The fear of something that is not understood, as well as the prejudiced association of society, led him to create an evil and punitive view portrayed in the film. The answer to the initial question is asked with another question, what price do we pay for believing in the mystical and spiritual more than in the earthly reality itself?
Lyrics:
Cachaça, maria-mole
Candle to light the cigar
inhale, had a sip
Reinvented the tribute
No wonder
Found it beautiful
Understand saint
It’s just another afflicted
No wonder
Found it beautiful
Understand saint
It’s just another afflicted
Didn’t want to get his name dirty
He thought it was a mirage
In the cold, hungry
Alone, on the journey
Doesn’t have that respect
He has no one
Understand this evil
Made by a good boy
Doesn’t have that respect
He has no one
Understand this evil
Made by a good boy
Possessed, entity’s revenge
Chased by the storm
Twelve years old
Out of the reality
Dancing on the street
Waltzing with the moon
And his sentence,
Naive bad luck
The lack of belief
Does it lead to death?
