about

“Don't Play With Fire” is a sonic bomb that speaks about the current situation of the world and the actions and attitudes that endanger the very survival of our species and our planet. A warning that should reach as many ears as possible.

JP is in charge of the vocals and guitars and is joined, once again, by the prodigious Chus Gancedo on drums and the legendary Brazilian bassist Luis Mariutti (ANGRA, SHAMAN), on the rhythmic base. The solos are the work of Adrían García and Jorge Rodríguez, the two virtuosos that accompany him live, and the mixing and mastering were done by the great Fredrik Nordström (HAMMERFALL, IN FLAMES, DIMMU BORGIR, OPETH, ARCHITECTS) at his famous Studio Fredman, in Stockholm (Sweden).

lyrics

The monster slept until the dawn
Now it's awaken
Hell-bent on getting back the throne
No prisoners taken

Feeding its tentacles with lies,
Madness and hatred
Divide and conquer is their cry
Posing a threat to all our kind

Don't play with fire
Don't play with fire, you'll get burned
Don't play with fire
Don't feed the flames now let's go

Cowards and ignorants that fall
For its behaviour
Fuelling the demon with their souls
They think it's their saviour

Wake up! This is your final call,
It's not too late yet
We've seen it happen once before
Don't let the tyrants rise again

Don't play with fire
Don't play with fire, you'll get burned
Don't play with fire
Don't feed the flames, you're not alone

Don't play with fire
Don't play with fire you'll get burned
Don't play with fire
Don't feed the flames, because you're not alone

No one escapes from that door
It could be the end for us all
It's the point of no return
