Gifted with a Roman shield
I soon was slain by barbarians
That's why now I only read history from books
And as I make my way home through thieves and crooks
I still hear the arrows whistling in the air
I look back, no one is there
The hounds are barking at the wrong tree
The pigeons left the sky already
Who said that I was even ready
To throw myself in front of the bullets

I feel the smell of chestnuts in the street
As I am thinking what Mozart would've done
Rejection never fails anyone
It seems that if you want to be happy
You're aiming too low
And if you want to be wise
Then, of course, you're aiming to high
How can you make your life pass by

My empty life reached a new beginning
The years weren't that well fed
I just want to rest my head on the bed
And then see where my footsteps take me

The sheets scream under the burden of memories
My room is empty, no one can hear that scream
My pillow invites me to dream
In the night full of nightmares

Like a thunder I throw my prayers at the stars
With a force that keeps planets apart
The stars echo, and then they talk back
Warding off all that is dark
