A Pure Formality

Esqarial

The wind brings the news that the new one arrives 
The night she'd a tear driven to despair 
The fate does not belong to him anymore 
He must take part in spectacle the nature prepared 

Life, it is nothing but a clean 
Blotted out and patient sheet 
What a great responsibility 
For this who holds the pen 
Reminiscences of youth 
Closed in the old photographs 
Testimony of reality 
Writing it down is a pure formality 

I can see him sitting at the table 
In manners and gestures he behaved so exquisite 
I'll never forget the words he said 
"The world you brought to life I often visit" 

The darkness came 
Scenes before my eyes 
Now I know 
Where the truth lies. 

I close my eyes I can feel no pain 
The sound of blast echoes in my head 
His face with a worried frown 
I can see myself lying on the ground 

Life, it is nothing but a clean 
Blotted out and patient sheet 
What a great responsibility 
For this who holds the pen 
Reminiscences of youth 
Closed in the old photographs 
Testimony of reality 
Writing it down is a pure formality
