Non dimentico il passato
Non trascuro il presente
Non temo il futuro
Vivo
 
 
Words lost in wind, we shout above
smashing of windows
 
rise star of danger, sky burning,
take your place in the firmament
 
knock on my roof
 
trapped in the enclave
behind the lines
 
morning uncovers rubble, crunching,
how can you love the spring
 
the morgues are full
dead children in ice cream cabinets
 
your bed is a trench, house a coffin,
you are reeds that crumple in the storm
 
lashed by hell cannon,
this bloody helter the devil stirred,

the school is blasted
the pinpoints are merciless
the ruins hush valleys
 
blood for blood
one thousand deaths
to avenge one -
 
I can be found
in the midst of silence
 
the displaced scurrying
rats in their cage
this
stretches our imagination,
 
I will
            love
 
Escape, escape, escape
