Stuck in memoriesTime will take you downStuck in timeMemories will tear you down
You have been feedingSecret devicesLittle machineries
Made of breathing bonesAnd memory tricks
Oh falling dusk Will you wake up today?
Oh falling duskWill they live or will they fade?
Suddenly, a naked body appeared inside the portraitHis skin was coal-dark as the stones under his feetA reddish sunflower flourishing in the place of his head
Step by step, the thing came towards meAnd stood close and still - like a dead rockThen a voice from the inner deep of the portrait spoke and said:
You will not rise from the ashes of the bodies you have burnedYou will not rise

The model was perfect, ready to sellExcept for one secret, nobody would tell
The perfect proportions, painted in the skySomeone's master piece, they call it mine
A model in pieces, I won't build it upIt's so sadly perfect, for me not enough
No order was made, someone rang the bellA piece of TV came out of the shell
Its commonplaceness, made by ego shineI'll now break the box, don't call it fragile
A model in pieces, I won't build it upIt's so sadly perfect, for me not enough
I'll wait, I'll waitI'll wait, I'll wait
I'll wait till tonightI'll wait till tomorrowI'll wait till the nightI'll wait till tomorrow
I won't be sorrowI won't feel sorrow I won't be sorrowI won't feel sorrow
Wake, backA deep breath
At the end of that nightStill images in my sightMy reminders of youSome days welcome into
May I teach my own fearsMove outside my frontiersWill they take over me And insist I can't be
In the clock of my mindLost the track of the timeAnd my deep memoriesFeed my head's mysteries
It's so early but late I push hardly my breakI push hardly my breakI push hardly my break
Wake me up, push me backStill I wait, a deep breath
Wake me up, push me backIf you'll late, I'll be dead
