Culpable eternamente

You're sitting on a step
Far from the room
Where voices were heard a century ago

The table, the piano, everything is the same
And the unpainted fabrics
Like a picture of that dense air

If you had never entered there
If you hadn't seen the end
If you hadn't been the killer

After a journey in the darkness
Everything shines until it blinds
The daylight a hundred years later

There were no witnesses or trial
No appealable sentence
But I will be guilty forever

Even if I leave this place
The punishment will be the same
Return to the place but in another time

If you had never entered there
If you hadn't seen the end
If you hadn't been the killer
