Optastes - You have chosen

E quando acordastes, te sentindo meio que enganado 
Entendeste que te ofereceram fartura mas, do pouco

Que tinhas, te deixaram somente com o engodo.

Levaram tudo de ti, inclusive os teus sonhos.

Acordado, atabalhoado, percebestes que enquanto te 

Permitias ser envolvido pela persuasão do  persuasor

Fostes enganado, lesado no pouco que te restava.

Teus sonhos, tua fé e as tuas aspirações. 

Tomado pela revolta tardia gritas mas, logo descobre

Que o persuasor não perdoa os persuadidos. 

Ele pediu a tua alma e tu a entregaste, problema teu,

Ele não mentiu para ti, sabias de tudo e ainda assim...

Dos sonhos aos pesadelos foi um pulo. Um 

Descuido, a tua fé na inocência da persuasão, ilusão.

O terror que agora cala a tua boca engoliu os teus

Sonhos. Acabou!

Tivestes opções e optastes, errado mas optastes.

You have chosen

And when you woke up, feeling kind of cheated
You understood that you were offered plenty but,

From the little of what you already have, they

Left to you  only with the decoy.

They took everything from you, including your 

Dreams.

Awakened, confused, you realized that while you
Allow yourself to be involved by the persuasion of

The persuader you were deceived, stolen in the 

Little that you had.
Your dreams, your faith and your aspirations.

Taken by the late revolt, you scream but soon you 

Found out that the persuader does not forgive the

Persuaded.
He asked for your soul and you gave it up to him,

So, that's your falt no his.
He didn't lie to you, you knew everything about 

Him and still...

From your dreams to the  nightmares was just a

Jump. 

An oversight, your faith in the innocence of the

Persuasion, an illusion.
The terror that now shuts up your mouth has 

Swallowed your dreams. Now its finished!
You had options and you chose, you chose wrong

But you chose.
