Common Grave (ITA) : Il Male di Vivere
Teksty
1. IL MALE DE VIVERE
Grigiore
Sguardo basso, mente e corpo separati
Un vacuo camminare
Un involucro che si muove da sé,
Pieno di tutto e niente
Lenti, i movimenti delle cineree nuvole
Greve e pesante, la pressione del cielo
Il tempo scorre, incurante della vita di ognuno
Il tempo scorre veloce, fuori di me
Chi si ferma è perduto
Chi si ferma è morto
Non rallentare o si avvicineranno
Non voltarti o ti guarderanno dentro
Insopportabile, il peso del passato
Straziante, la stretta che torce lo stomaco
Il male di vivere
2. MEMORIES
Why does the time pass and you remain ?
Why are you still tormenting me ?
All days and all nights, alone, you force me to sink
In the depths of my thoughts, where lies what marked me most
What thing is worse than the past that returns ?
Which punishment is heavier than turning back and become aware
That what it has been will never come again ?
Memories
Like the waves of the sea, they shatter in my mind
Like the waves of the sea, they bring me something of the past
Like the waves of the sea, they recede and consume a part of me
Illusory hopes, a castle made of them
My refuge is between its walls built on the sand
But the tide brings the truth with it and makes every Certainty crumble
Blow wind, blow!
Sweep the sand
That falls from my hands
Bring it far away from me
Let it stray in the air
Those great emotions that I've felt
Now I grip in my hands
They are soaked with my tears
And their weight becomes impossible to bear
Great is the sufferance, greater the nostalgia
I loose the grip to not succumb and they slip between my fingers
So sad
So distant
So present
So intense
Memories, so true
Memories, so cruel
In some moments I would stop to think
I would fade away to not be found by them
When every thought, good or bad, hurts
Castaway in this stormy sea
Infested by ravenous maelstroms,
They swallow and then spit me out
To not give me the relief of death
“All that remains to me is that image
All that I lost is in that image
I look at that portrait and I die”
Memories
Like the waves of the sea, they shatter in my mind
Like the waves of the sea, they bring me something of the past
Like the waves of the sea, they recede and consume a part of me
There will be a time when the dust
Will cover all with a grey veil
There will be a day when the sand of time
Will jealously keep every secret
And maybe that day I will cry at the thought that I forget
Memories, so true
Memories, so cruel
3. NO TURNING BACK
Days, years...
I look back and I don't see my footprints
A thin and long shadow goes far away from me
4. IN SILENCE THEY FADE
Those words, those words I have never told
Those thoughts... they continue to return
As if I feared to let them out
In silence... in silence they fade
And the more I think
The more I don't know
If it's right or wrong
To keep them in me
As if I feared to let them out
In silence... in silence they fade
I wonder how many times I've mistaken
I wonder how many things would be different now
I will never know...
And I will always live with these doubts
Haunting me, crushing me
Until death will finally rid me of them
The grudge corrodes, feeding on screams
For too long it has consumed me
I found peace only in this way
So in silence... in silence I'll fade
5. FALLING FROM THE SKY
I've died falling from the sky
Have you ever been there ?
Have you ever been there ?
I was there and now I am on the ground
Smashed, my pieces scattered here and there
You have shoved me
You have shoved me
And yet a moment before, we walked together
And while I'm falling through the sky
I see your face fading behind the clouds
Around me only air, air that flows fast
Like the thoughts which accompany my fall
All this seems to me so absurd
And while I'm falling through the sky
I see your face fading behind the clouds
I trusted you
I let you bring me up there
The warmth of your hand made me forget the fear
I wish it could grip me now that I'm falling
I wish it could save me before the crash
I was there and now I am on the ground
Smashed, my pieces scattered here and there
And I see the sky farther and farther
Why did you shove me ?
And yet a moment before, we walked together
And while I'm falling through the sky
I see your face fading behind the clouds
Around me only air, air that flows fast
Like the thoughts which accompany my fall
All this seems to me so absurd
And while I'm falling through the sky
I see your face fading behind the clouds
I wish you could see me from up there
I wish you could hear me from up there
If you were here you would become aware
That my body doesn't bleed
That no lament comes out of my mouth
6. UNIONS OF SORROWS
(Instrumental)
7. FOR A DEAD PERSON
It's passed so much time
Like living an entire life
I would never have thought
That this moment would arrive
I still have in my eyes the image of your smile
I still feel on my face the silent descent of a tear
Now there's nothing more, nothing's left of the past
I can only mourn a remembrance
Of something destined to wither and fade
Something that maybe I'll possess forever
Or maybe I lost for eternity
Too late to say goodbye, too late
I only wish I'd had more time
More time to see
To see that you were leaving
Now there's nothing more, nothing's left of the past
I can only mourn a remembrance
Only you and me at this funeral
Who is more dead between us ?
Nobody's crying
Nobody's praying
Nobody is aware when something invisible disappears
Our seeming life, our death unknown to the most
The eyes closed to conceal the great void inside
You go where I can't follow
A dried rose on your tomb
A flower which is dead and withered, and thus, eternal.
8. THE END OF ALL THINGS
...Time comes to an end
Without telling how and when...
And the end came in front of me...
An astonishment second only to the dismay of that vision
My heart, as stone, fell heavy through me
I felt that it was closer than ever
The end of all things
Pushing me down
With waves of decadence
Cold as a torrent,
It ran over me
Finally, the time had come
I welcomed it, as a liberation
"I was wating for the night before a new dawn
Free me, erase the past
Dust and thorns blind my sight and choke my breath"
Come and take me, end of all things
Forget me and let me forget, end of all things
