...If The Dead Can Speak

I stand at the altar of the liar

And I can see his bleeding face

So tell me now

(If the dead can speak... ?)

How long can you plunge in hypocrisy

Your plastic eyes

Watch the universe

Burning with the heat

Of fate soon to come

So show me how

(If the blind can see... ?)

How you walk your lambs

Through the Tiber's deadly streams

Old man,

You look away, you don't want to see

You hide your face when I say:

"please, look at me"

I'm just a spotless child

Who can really feel...

That your prayer is just like you

You shall burn in your lies!

After the changes,

When you leave your hideaway

I will meet you at your field

Don't tell me now

"lord, please forgive me"

'Cause for ages you've had freedom of will

Old man,

You look away, you don't want to see

You hide your face when I say:

"please, look at me"

I'm just a spotless child

Who can really feel...

That your prayer is just like you

You shall burn in your lies!
