[DHS0022] Ailanthi pt.1 : roots

Music by Simone Cicconi, Lyrics by Gianluigi Cocco
---------------------------------------------------

Stepping in the path once I knew
Darkness falls to the ground
I’m sinking in a grey sky of defeats
What does really matters in the end?

Kings of nothing moving fast
and everything goes
further on our steps ever leads us
there’s nothing more than a sea of silence shouting out

Why are the colors of this land
So unbelievably blinded today?
Why are the lips upon their faces
Without any sign of smile?

While the rain keeps falling on my back
Clothes are dry mind is still
She puts a hand upon my chest and say
“If everything still matters, what then?”

Gods of nothing standing still
And everyone runs
With their books of hope full of wisdom
To fill their life with sorrow trying to
understand why

Why are their eyes so awake and dry
So unbelievably blinded today?
Why are their deepest prayers left
Without any kind of answer?

Let it go
To my childhood
When I slept on her knees
The pain was so far when she held me
So tight
It was a beauty I cannot deny
A beauty that still keeps on
killing me

Why are the lips upon my face
Without any sign of smile?
Why are my eyes so awake and dry
So incredibly blinded today?
