The Ruins of the Tower of Babel
When I'm alone, I'll fall into
Antique Italian dreams, among
Thoughts made of marble, tears of paint
And ghosts mouthing rhymes
In churches built of human blood
I'll listen to God's harmony
And when I return, I'll tell
Everyone of my secret life
Who would really comprehend my words
Who would try to understand
Who I really am
For now, I'd better hold my tongue
And work on some new cryptic lines
While German songs and Indian chants
Try hard to overcome the noise
We all belong to it now, and to
The unbridled Irish wind
A frenzied oracle of hope that
Speaks in tongues and we can't see
Who would really comprehend his words
Who would try to understand
Who he really is
Who would really comprehend our words
Who would try to understand
Who we really are
A floating world would be enough
For me to face a sudden change
Although my poor, chaotic talk
Would force me to lie ceaselessly
Concealed behind the shadows
Of countless Japanese identities
I'd greet the darkness, kneel
And, lastly, enjoy my solitude
Antique Italian dreams, among
Thoughts made of marble, tears of paint
And ghosts mouthing rhymes
In churches built of human blood
I'll listen to God's harmony
And when I return, I'll tell
Everyone of my secret life
Who would really comprehend my words
Who would try to understand
Who I really am
For now, I'd better hold my tongue
And work on some new cryptic lines
While German songs and Indian chants
Try hard to overcome the noise
We all belong to it now, and to
The unbridled Irish wind
A frenzied oracle of hope that
Speaks in tongues and we can't see
Who would really comprehend his words
Who would try to understand
Who he really is
Who would really comprehend our words
Who would try to understand
Who we really are
A floating world would be enough
For me to face a sudden change
Although my poor, chaotic talk
Would force me to lie ceaselessly
Concealed behind the shadows
Of countless Japanese identities
I'd greet the darkness, kneel
And, lastly, enjoy my solitude
