For the Portuguese Goth Metal Bands Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Set the spectrum for the greyscale that's better
Favorite bold fonts in black letters
Star crossed lovers and their tragic fates
And the one Celtic Frost record
Almost everybody hates
[Hook]
Candlelight playing its tricks on the walls of the cave
Hauling these songs to the night from the mouth of the grave
[Verse 2]
Mark the map out for the treasure don't say where
Find the octave in the shadow and stay there
Sleep till sunset stay up late
Bleed bile all night
Into an SM58
[Hook]
Candlelight playing its tricks on the walls of the cave
Hauling these songs to the night from the mouth of the grave
[Verse 3]
Finally head west but it's a dead end
Come home dead broke but still among friends
Keep what's precious drop what's not
Without a second though
There's not so many of us
But you don't know any of us
Work like a gravedigger let the blood spill
Headline really big festivals
Every other summer in Brazil
[Hook]
Candlelight playing its tricks on the walls of the cave
Hauling these songs to the night from the mouth of the grave
Set the spectrum for the greyscale that's better
Favorite bold fonts in black letters
Star crossed lovers and their tragic fates
And the one Celtic Frost record
Almost everybody hates
Candlelight playing its tricks on the walls of the cave
Hauling these songs to the night from the mouth of the grave
Mark the map out for the treasure don't say where
Find the octave in the shadow and stay there
Sleep till sunset stay up late
Bleed bile all night
Into an SM58
Candlelight playing its tricks on the walls of the cave
Hauling these songs to the night from the mouth of the grave
Finally head west but it's a dead end
Come home dead broke but still among friends
Keep what's precious drop what's not
Without a second though
There's not so many of us
But you don't know any of us
Work like a gravedigger let the blood spill
Headline really big festivals
Every other summer in Brazil
Candlelight playing its tricks on the walls of the cave
Hauling these songs to the night from the mouth of the grave

I'm guessing this song is about how bands from non-English speaking countries work their butts off but don't find any success because the music-buying market is dominated by English-speaking countries. "Finally head west, but it's a dead end:" some bands like Whitesnake say that they weren't popular until they were popular in the U.S.: being popular in their own countries wasn't enough because the largest music-buying market is the U.S. But we speak English in the U.S. not Portuguese so it's almost impossible for a Portuguese band to get popular here. Portuguese bands can headline festivals in Brazil because they speak Portuguese there.
Celtic Frost are a Swiss band. I don't know them very well though, so I don't know which album of theirs is the one that everybody hates.
