Where's that child who smiled?
I can't recall him yet.
Where's that white sun that lit his face?
It doesn't warm me up now.

Time's left and all I think to see...
Now I know it's left, I am alone here.
His face stamped in my mirror...
Last remains of his illusion.

I am a new body, and new is my mind.
I ate the fruit of knowledge and now... freedom oppresses me.
This dream returns each day... each life.
What do you want from me...? I ain't here...

All our life's a dune, and we've approached the crest.
How long I'll take to hit the ground...?
Why do we go on if we know where we stop...?
Carry me up with you to where something is immortal...

And I wonder when I changed my face,
When my chrysalis eclosioned...
You must have advised me,
You must have avoided it...
Now I destroy in my path, unable to feel, not like before...

The love you spent made me a man
Gave me the wrath and the cruelty...
I embarked on a bigoted way
Made me who I ain't.
