When There's Nothing to Save the Day

It’s time

For you and me

To know how to be free

(At last)

It’s time

For us all

To learn how to fall

(In peace)

You tell you’ve done all you can

Used everything you got in hand

(You’ve said a lot)

To unturn your world from dry sand…

Now you have dust in hands and sorrow in your heart

(That fades)

At this very moment…

When there’s nothing there to save the day

Then you just have to say:

There’s a reason for it!

But you know this is just not true

You feel inside, you’ve got a clue

Of what makes all around seem to you so cruel…

(In fact you know a lot)

You tried to bend the heart of steel, you claim

And you’ve not succeeded, for your surprise, again!

(What an announced shame)

Sometimes you just have nobody to blame

And all that is left is the weak beating of your heart

(That fades)

In the time…

When there’s nothing there to save the day

Then you’re just supposed to say:

There’s a reason for it!

But you know this is just not true

You feel inside, you’ve got a clue

Of what makes all around seem to you so cruel…

(Your mind predicted it all)

You fight the army of verité in vain

You have all the casualties, no gain

(Not even surrender you can)

You insist not to give yourself a chance

Watching the bodies at your feet, “oh Lord!”

(You shout, in fail)

At the saddest moment…

When there’s nothing there to save the day

Then, for good, you feel like saying:

There’s a reason for it!

But you know this is just not true

You feel inside, you’ve got a clue

Of what makes all around seem to you so cruel…

(Heart in fire, for the mind it calls)

Now you have your battalion’s blood drained

In time, before you too die, life blasphéme,

Stop trying to stop the train!

From death you can bring a living flame

And then you’ll be giving a flaming heart

(That, vivid, lengthen)

For all times…

And when there’s nothing there to save the day

You no more have to say that:

There’s a reason for it

Cause you know this is just not true

You know, for sure, you have all the clues

Of what once made all around seem to you so cruel…

It’s time

For you to know

Only in your knees you must bend

It’s time

For us all

To learn how to fall in name

Of what’s really worth to give

Our lives in bid

It’s the beginning, never the end
