This Book |
| Away from the past, this chance is the last, |
| we are changing completely, |
| we are moving the feast, we are motion. |
| I’ve seen you become the bride of the sun, |
| you surrender so sweetly, |
| sacrificing yourself to devotion. |
| This book is ended and I put it down, |
| this book is ended and I put it down, |
| I’m saved, I’m saving for the future. |
| This book is ended and I put it down, |
| find I’m befriended in a foreign town, |
| I’m saved, I’m sailing for the future. |
| But only yesterday night |
| I stood in the pouring rain, shouting at the thunder: |
| I said «Lord, I’m starting to understand the hidden mystery.» |
| Lord, the compass falls in my hand, |
| I can sail to the far horizon… |
| Could you conceive a mirror |
| where you could never see yourself? |
| Away from the past, the iconoclasts, |
| we are changing completely, |
| we are breaking the mould, we are rapture. |
| I’ve seen you astride the wind and the tide, |
| my dark angel, you greet me with a samurai sword, |
| close the chapter… |
| This book is ended and I put it down, |
| find I’m befriended in a foreign town, |
| I’m here, but I’m nearer to the future. |
| But only yesterday night |
| I stood in the pouring rain, shouting at the thunder: |
| I said «Lord, I’m starting to understand the hidden mystery.» |
| Lord, the compass falls in my hand, |
| I can sail to the far horizon… |
| This book is ended and I put down, |
| find I’m befriended in a foreign town, |
| this book is ended and I put it down. |
