lyrics

I was walking around, completely bound
to society’s barcodes & ID’s
Working with what I once learned
From this bay to the farthest overseas
I saw a man with no eyes totally disguised
of a person that’s living faceless
He was on his knees begging right where he was standing
Living in his own laziness

I told him a word but then came a bird
And he ran as quick as the light
I fell powerless, I couldn’t care less
But I lost him out of my sight
I remember his arms which kept me alarmed
They seemed like an opened soil
The river ran red but he’s already dead
From the poison he loves to boil

…it was the routine of a single lost man…

(chorus)
Man’s life is a gift we love to resist
And we challenge it from the bottom of our heart
But our love won’t fit while we try to insist
That our sins are our most beautiful art

The stronger we get, the choices we bet
Become as wrong as our fears
We close our eyes to life and trade it for a wife
That leaves us nothing but tears
We want life to be easy, we love to be busy
And then we’re closed in a box
We run but can’t hide, a circle has no sides
We’re the sheep but also the fox

…it was the routine for a single dead man…

(solo : Nuno)

As he walks through the valley of the dead
I pray for him, I pray for all that’s sacred in him
As he walks through the shadow of the devil
I pray for him, I pray for all that’s sacred in him

His face was so sad like a forest with no trees
I did all I could but he misunderstood
All I wanted was to help his pain cease
He thought I came for the worst…
…but the word I said was just ‘Peace’.

(solo : Bruno)

(Humans are the only beings that can’t be human
We feel like giants but we’re nothing but dwarfs.)
