[music: F. Torchia/lyrics: A. Marchisio]



Once upon a time I saw a mighty angel

Once upon a time his aura did shine

All the heavenly creatures came to see this angel

But now his glory is lost in the sands of time



Who am I? Why am I here?

What are you looking for in my eyes?

Am I the answer to all of your questions

Or an idol that tells you lies?



Changing skin, holy wine has made me thirsty

Dying like a martyr is not enough to be Christ

Changing skin, all this singing has made me deaf

Once upon a time I saw an angel and the angel was me



Once upon a time I saw a scary devil

Once upon a time his nails scratched my back

People were running scared when they saw this devil

But now his acts and thoughts are allowed to rule the world



Who am I? Why am I here?

What are you looking for in my eyes?

Am I the answer to all of your questions

Or an idol that tells you lies?



Changing skin, holy wine has made me thirsty

Dying like a martyr is not enough to be Christ

Changing skin, all this singing has made me deaf

I saw a devil and the devil was me



Being mocked, being loved, being despised and then forgotten

Is the doom of this clown with crazy eyes and cynical smile



I've been changing my skin

I've been changing my skin
