Clepsydra - Vienna lyrics

Intermitting red flashes of a streetlamp Lit my vienna hotel nights In room 115 with empty TV channels Dreaming of you between fear and hope We saw your imperial majesty fading in the dark We saw your liberty excess twinkling in the sun Reflecting sparks in modern crystal dreams What a town, what a dream... And we saw your biggest wheel Turning from earth to the cloudless sky Above cats and opera phantoms We saw your white Wagner's church Where a stony devil and a crossed God Are the eternal guardians of the trespa** My last fear, my last dream... I saw your eyes, I saw your shadow Walking across pasts, reaching our times I heard the rhythm of your heart Beating across pasts, joining our times We saw a rainbow house in your streets The third skin of a hundreds of waters Was a madman's colourful dream You play your own melodies as a waltz In the alleys we walked through You often play some others waltz Between planet systems and kings courts I saw your crossroad of centuries: You are so rich, you are so poor You are so full of life, you are so soulless In your cage of memories and history Hiding the evil behind your palace disguise I saw your eyes, I saw your shadow Walking across pasts, reaching our times I heard the rhythm of your heart
