Nell’ignoto esplorando come Ulisse
Quando uno squarcio si apre immantinente.
Un uomo curvo col cappuccio nero
Che in tempi oscuri per la chiesa visse
Mi si rivolge in modo triste e altero.
“Per evitar...

From my...

Can I finally now lay you to rest?

From mutual feelings 
shown through quiet years,
How I miss thy company 
ever...

A creek murmurs as it passes past smooth rocks.

Yet another restless night
Bad dreams every other hour
I turn on the light hoping 
It will calm me down 
Yet it takes me back in time
And there he stands
Like a shadow in the night...
