|
Intermitting red flashes of a streetlamp |
|
Lit my vienna hotel nights |
|
In room 115 with empty TV channels |
|
Dreaming of you between fear and hope |
|
We saw your imperial majesty fading in the dark |
|
We saw your liberty excess twinkling in the sun |
|
Reflecting sparks in modern crystal dreams |
|
What a town, what a dream... |
|
And we saw your biggest wheel |
|
Turning from earth to the cloudless sky |
|
Above cats and opera phantoms |
|
We saw your white Wagner's church |
|
Where a stony devil and a crossed God |
|
Are the eternal guardians of the trespass |
|
My last fear, my last dream... |
|
I saw your eyes, I saw your shadow |
|
Walking across pasts, reaching our times |
|
I heard the rhythm of your heart |
|
Beating across pasts, joining our times |
|
We saw a rainbow house in your streets |
|
The third skin of a hundreds of waters |
|
Was a madman's colourful dream |
|
You play your own melodies as a waltz |
|
In the alleys we walked through |
|
You often play some others waltz |
|
Between planet systems and kings courts |
|
I saw your crossroad of centuries: |
|
You are so rich, you are so poor |
|
You are so full of life, you are so soulless |
|
In your cage of memories and history |
|
Hiding the evil behind your palace disguise |
|
I saw your eyes, I saw your shadow |
|
Walking across pasts, reaching our times |
|
I heard the rhythm of your heart |
