Martiria - So Far Away songtekst
Je score:
I wonder what my father would say today, If he could see me in this weird place. He that never went a mile away, He that never left his land nor his boat. My bones are stiff, my beard is long and gray, My tired eyes confuse shadows and lights. Still with iron chains they tied my wrists. How much can an old man scare an empire! Chains have no power Won't stop his words Won't stop thoughts from running away. Outside the sun shines The old man smiles And closes his eyes. I went so far away! No fisherman ever Made such a long way. Nets are too heavy, To catch bigger fish, you need to fly. Painfully, sits the old men on the floor Passes the spring through the air. They build a cross, They think is funny. The day is sunny I pity them For all what they miss. "Kephas is your name" This once he said "And on this stone something we'll build" I wish I had known Heavy is the weight A stone has to hold. Iron and walls To bury an idea Iron and walls For an old man Who smiles, closes his eyes and flies away So many friends are waiting for me out there Death does not scare me, why should She? Sometimes I can't remember the faces But their words are still with me. Bit of pain doesn't count When time has come. I just hope he has forgotten Now that time has gone Three "no" of fear I said on that mount. Iron and walls To bury an idea Iron and walls For an old man Who can fly away...
