Mother Tongue speaks to Me in the strongest way I've ever seen
I know that she sees in Me, Her proudest child, her purest breed
She speaks to Me in colours that I can't really understand
I only know that they are ours and to those I'll proudly bend
For I am your only child and you my dearest mystery
From an ancient throne I defy the world to kneel before the Power within
For I am your only child and you my dearest mystery
World can't you see it? Am I alone in my belief?

Virando costas ao Mundo
Orgulhosamente sòs
Gloria Antiga, volta a nós!

Alma Mater!

Breaking waves announce my Bride, it is the only way the Sea could sing
Legends of Lusitanian pride, he sings the words I cannot spring
At the Moon Mountain six wolves cry, your lost glory we'll regain or die
For I am her only child and she is my dearest mystery
Pagan Gods in conspiracy for the sword of Tyranny
Mother Tongue has spoke to thee in the strongest way they've ever seen
World can't you see? I am not alone in my belief

Virando costas ao Mundo
Orgulhosamente sòs
Gloria Antiga, volta a nós!

Alma Mater!

Mother Tongue has spoke to Me in the strongest way I've ever seen
I know that she sees in Me, Her proudest child, her purest breed
She speaks to Me in colours I can't really understand
I only know that they are ours and to those I'll proudly bend
For I am her only child and she is my dearest mystery
From an ancient throne I defy the world to kneel before the powers within
For I am her only child and she is my dearest tragedy
World can't you see it? I am not alone in my belief

Virando costas ao Mundo
Orgulhosamente sos
Gloria Antiga, volta a nos!

Alma Mater!

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Amazing

From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
