lyrics

There are these old stairs, upon which we were climbing
Flickering lights, like lamps on the water
Reflected upon windows, from behind which someone is always staring
Looking at us from behind the shades that are closed for all our tomorrows

There is a tunnel, in the old town underground
Under the river that springs from the ice cold jars
In the entrance to the shadowy theatre
In serpentines plaited in the tobacco swirl
The ardour of candles is diffused
And glitters in cold drops
That cling to the red glass

I was on my knees, at her feet, begging
When she was laying in the midst of withered rose petals
I was begging her to be the howling in the darkness
A wind that brings the storm
A dawn on the plains that is scorched by the sun
A black tile of water above the immeasurable fathoms of cold
Of the underwater century

I remember her telling me
Repeating all the time
That those, who fear
Are lost
In the sinful arms of Andromeda
Among speeding flocks of cormorants
In waterfalls of endless nights
Above which flamingos welcome the rising sun
