THE ROAD
(Pier Morandi)
(the song was inspired by Cormac McCarthy's novel: The Road)
comin’ from the ashes with no answer with no dawn
searchin’ for the place where to rest and lay the light
talkin’ to the child of a mother never known
torches are waving in their hands
like bells a-flashin’ through the land
“the fire you’re carryin’ a light that blows
over towns, over towns and chains showing you home”
movin’ west and south from the daybreak till the dark
facin’ wasted towns with the fear in their eyes
crossin’ dead-end forests with the strong smell of the night
“the world you can see is not the same”
“the home you left has no more name”
“the fire you’re carryin’ a light that blows
over towns, over towns and chains showing you home”
a father and a young son and the desert all around
“there is no then no after there is only what you’re now”
they’re looking for the ocean for the rays of a dyin’ sun
they hear their breath out in the rain
they share their love inside the pain
“the fire you’re carryin’ a light that blows
over towns, over towns and chains showing you home”
the ocean they are looking is a grey and a freezin’ sight
the future has no colour while the past recalls the time
“I’m going to loose my strength let me rest here on the sand”
“I’ll be on your side all night long”
“we’ll meet together the new day”
“you listen? be strong the night will be long
carry on, carry on my son.. for when I am..
carry on, carry on my son for when I am gone”
