“Profound Wound” is directly inspired by the story of Mirtha Luz Perez Robledo. She is a mother whose daughter (Nadia Dominique Vera Perez) was murdered by criminals because she spoke out against corruption and was a political activist. This song is about the anguish and sorrow of a mother and the unhealed wound of her daughter’s violent murder.
This song reminds us that “old news” is still “new” for those closest to it. That for many, justice still has not been served. We are reminded what can happen to those who advocate relentlessly for justice. We are reminded of the risks we take spiritually, emotionally, and physically for love.
Herida Profunda
Haz ruido, sé silenciado Llama de las cenizas de mis hijas
Dale forma a la pérdida Dolor fútil del corazón
Haz ruido, sé silenciado Haz ruido, sé valiente Muere por la revelación de la cruel verdad Vive para la eternidad
Grita la pena, tal vez sagrada La solidaridad no sabe muy bien Defiende el recuerdo, sufrimos Fantasmas marchando en calles
Haz ruido, sé silenciado Haz ruido, sé valiente Muere por la revelación de la cruel verdad Vive para la eternidad
Fuego cruzado, estado de deshonor Tierra de injusticia, matanza (corazones inertes, promesas vacías, bolsillos llenos)
