Never thought you could understand
Never hoped you could learn
Too tired to apply
Too bored to find the strength
You’re going to model that stone
You can give it any form you prefer
But you can’t transform it
A stone it will remain
You can build a wall for the garden of God
Or just throw it into the air to study the celestial mechanics
It can fly through the sky and reach the stars
You can hide it under a thousand miles of water but
a stone it will remain
What about you?
Are you going to remain the same?

Wait, stand
Come closer when you talk to me
What do you see when you open your eyes?
I’ll tell you if I see the same
Quick, speak
While closer to the dream of ecstasy
I see ancient fears and broken innocence
Once, twice and again

I look around with closed lips
Fear that paralyses every breath
Scenes that I really cannot understand
Well sculpted in my memory again
Sound that pervades my brain
That shakes my heart that seems to stop
Sounds that I know perfectly
Shiver down my spine

He stares in front of me
Eating souls fears and every breath
Scenes that I don’t want to see again
Repeated for ages out of sight
Time lost forever in vain
For reasons men cannot understand
Scenes that I don’t want to see again
Forever repeated and lost.

In the meanwhile people live their lives
Ignoring time
Settling down for ages and ages
Can you tell me what we can do?
A slave to the mystery, I hesitate too
Time wasted forever.

Wait, stand
Don’t come so close when you look at me
Observe the scenes, hiding yourself
For sure I’ll do the same
Quick, speak
Strong is the desire to run away
Far from the abyss of men and pain
Forever captured and chained.

So I really wish to know
Who or what this sentinel is
Silently following my footsteps
I came back to my master again
He’s been here since the dawn of times
He tells me with terror in his eyes
To punish mankind for their crimes
Hidden to the human eye

For ages sentinels have been eating
Souls for all the crimes they’ve committed
Religions revealed to men
Ignore the sacrifice upon his altar
Time lost forever in vain
For reasons men cannot understand
Scenes that I don’t want to see again
Forever repeated and lost


You can give it a spherical shape
You can break it in two half
But you can’t transform it
A stone it will remain
You’re going to transform it in dust
You can set it free in the ocean
But you can’t transform it
A stone it will remain
