Newborn

We followed each other's existence
like the wind,
They came and went.
The party of sung apocalypse
went on in parcel of dreams;
'Twas thrown to our houses
each night we slept.
At one moment from that simple
yet obscure point of origin
our souls fired away -
burning the skies with
diffused colours of orange and red;
We never knew the past
Nor had we known the future.
Only the present mattered.
The children dreamt of that place
they once called home;
Fathers and forefathers
were oblivious of history;
We never came to know each other's name
and each other's favorite songs.
All the laws of the physical world
shattered like a fragile glass.
We were undressed like a newborn.
Innocent were we.
Faith dead like that of a soldier's -
Houses burned with fire,
Nurtured with memories -
lethargic and vain.
Equilibrium.
We slept for centuries.
We never knew the past
Nor had we known the future.
But we only lived at that single point in time
where we dreamt about good memories
of each other's existence,
and we were breathing,
we were speaking each other's name.
We were back to the beginning...

Short

I didn't want to go there
where there was emptiness
and souls did not have a home
nor their bodies sacred
and emotions tired.

We sang a beautiful melody,
Nobody listened.

Then the devil spoke of wisdom,
the earth followed.
O God, the dead cried!
They shouted praise in reply.

They didn't know music
They didn't even know how to dance
They'd never spoken the truth

The devil it spoke of love
It spoke of romance
and dear God, a mother cried!
She shouted praise in reply.

The saints they prayed
They shouted Hallelujah...

"God, please give us truth!"
