The Heirs of Resilience  (A arte da Memória)

[Verse 1: The Secret Faith] There was once a woman Who defied the fashion of her age Who secretly passed along her faith And forged a quiet, hidden name [Pre-Chorus] To the tyrants, her light was a threat Weak men who ruled by fear and pain Who thought that dogma should reign And saw themselves as heroes in the dark [Chorus] They thought they would win, They thought they could break her soul. But she kept on preaching, Passing down a faith that defied them all. [Verse 2: The Migration] Brutality rose, but instead of caving, Her family sought a new horizon. Across the sea, to a distant shore, They claimed a parched and promised soil. A land of ancient volcanic dirt, Where deep roots learned to hold their ground. Until the wild became their home, And the foreign soil became their own. [Chorus] They thought they would win, They thought they could break her soul. But she kept on preaching, Passing down a faith that defied them all. [Bridge] They became the sons of the frontier, Sons by choice, bound to the sun. And when the dark returned to silence them, They found new ways to carry on. [Outro] Keep on resisting, Keep on thriving. Deep roots in the Brazilian West, In the land we now call home.
