Who understands this world?
here miracles,
here impossible happens!
here misery satisfies the soul’s veins
and pain muddles: saints into savages
When Time lies beneath the sun
To quench the thirst of love
in the desert of solitude;
with no sign of rain…
and you face the masked moons
shackled in the iron chain
They still say:
they are true!
they are pure!
Ah! In this playground
sane is insane!
This world of possibilities
has hearts to break
and breaks so hard
nothing never reunites again…!
