From a soil drenched by tears and dry bitter blood Nine crosses howl like in a spring funerary call
Father forgive your son 'cause he's grown old Nine crosses One time he wore pain like the most splendid crown Nine crosses Time as dust that covers the triumph of the past Nine crosses burn Could you forgive the sin of your own flesh? Nine crosses burn
There's a place in the middle Where all begins and end Around the old stone tree Nine broken axis pay their fee
You, who give them sense and right Please tell them who am I
Cada su di me questa fine per tre volte tre
Fall upon me three times three this denied ecstasy! (Three times three upon me)
Not in heaven, nor' in hell Could you dare to escape this cell?
Have you read those pages Or just sadly dream of them?
Nove croci nel deserto delle nostre voci Nove croci di sconfitta e rimpianto atroci
Have you written those pages Or just loudly call for them?
Nove croci nel deserto delle nostre voci Nove croci di sconfitta e rimpianto atroci
Father, West sun falls down on the horizon line Father, the world you know is just as sand in time
Not in heaven, nor' in hell Could you dare to escape this cell?
Have you read those pages Or just sadly dream of them?
Nove croci nel deserto delle nostre voci Nove croci di sconfitta e rimpianto atroci
Have you written those pages Or just loudly call for them?
Nove croci nel deserto delle nostre voci Nove croci di sconfitta e rimpianto atroci
