Dopo il grande dolore, viene un sentimento compìto -

i nervi siedono cerimoniosi - come tombe -

il cuore rigido si interroga se fu lui che soffrì, 

e fu ieri, o quanti secoli fa?

I piedi, meccanici, vanno in giro -

di terra, o aria, o altro -

una via di legno -

divenuti incuranti,

un appagamento di quarzo, come una pietra -

 questa è l'ora di piombo -

ricordata, se si sopravvive,

come un congelato ricorda la neve -

prima il freddo - poi lo stupore - poi il lasciarsi andare -

Heroes

I, I will be king And you, you will be queen Though nothing will drive them away We can beat them, just for one day
We can be Heroes, just for one day And you, you can be mean And I, I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers, and that is a factYes we're lovers, and that is that

Though nothing, will keep us together We could steal time, just for one day
We can be Heroes, for ever and everWhat d'you say?

I, I wish you could swimLike the dolphins, like dolphins can swim Though nothing,
nothing will keep us togetherWe can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day

I, I will be king And you, you will be queen Though nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes, just for one dayWe can be us, just for one day

I, I can remember (I remember) Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
And the shame was on the other side Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes, just for one day

We can be Heroes We can be Heroes We can be Heroes Just for one day
We can be Heroes

We're nothing, and nothing will help us Maybe we're lying,
then you better not stay But we could be safer,just for one day

Oh-oh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-oh-ohh, just for one day
