we will never walk on the same road
your body's lying next to mine
two hearts on the same battlefield
your arms are around me, i feel nothing

turn, turn, time is growing long
hours and days covered with ice
we think of escape but we're out of time

turning, turning, i am fading
we move like shadows, we are not tender
we are strong no more

what do you say, you, sleeping at the dawn of your very first day
is it true, is it false, have i ever dreamt too much... of innocence...

we won't ever walk on the same road
your heart (keeps beating) next to mine
two souls on the same battlefield
your fingers touch me, i feel nothing

waiting few more minutes more
or few hours so that it comes to an end
our heads are heavy, our bodies useless and asleep

and try and read these eyes that move
like a puppet or a mistress
a hand upon a hand doesn't mean anything anymore

what do you think, you, sleeping at the dawn of your very first day
is it me, is it you, have i ever been so far... from innocence

we won't ever walk on the same road
my heart is beating next to yours
two souls, two hearts and other paths
your hands are calming me, i feel nothing... anymore

threats are circling, round and round
this scream is growing like a merciful release
my eyes are seeing you but you're already too far

thoughts heavier than lead
heavier than the wait, we look at the void
fearing to fall

what do you say, you, sleeping at the dawn of your very first day
is it me, is it you, have i dreamt too much of love

around you there's us, around me there's nothing
i'm standing here like a child wishing he were five years old... oh,
innocence...
