Sommersi

Protector of sailors, tough and cold like glaciers
Mad swallow that tears through the darkest night
Stop the vultures' circles, and the waves in front of us

Inside the iron of this ship called madness
Stealthy glances that you don't want to be confidential
Faces of Christ around the neck and then dagger tattoos
Remember us like this, tomorrow we won't be here

That we are submerged
In storms that never pass and in nights
Where you don't sleep and then you won't even wake up
And we are lost

Clutching to a rebellious vine and perverse dreams
Six horses and a cart carrying what's left of me
Four aces around my body wrapped in the shroud
In silence my brothers, only her in the darkness

While she prays she cries, hands tightly holding the rosary
Crazed splinter, you run and go on fire and thorns
Thinking that the night of the end will never come
Don't stay close to us, one heart is not enough for you

That we are submerged
In storms that never pass and in nights
Where you don't sleep and then you won't even wake up
And we are lost

Clutching to a rebellious vine and perverse dreams
Submerged and lost in what remains
In one hand the creed and in the other a handful of salt
Clever wit just enough to not ask questions

Absolution not wanting answers
To keep asking for forgiveness without paying the price
To shake the hand that commands and not the one that sinks
But I saw the dawn again and it was smiling
Like a mirage that quickly turns into melancholy
