Faces

English translation

Lumber falls apart

In your arms and your heart

Hanging from your mouth

I leave but fate finds you in the dark

Twisting on our tongues

Bury the lead, forget tomorrow

Rain covers the bed

Drenched in our sheets, drowning our sorrow

Looking far and wide

To Babylon I often cried

Thinking of the ruins

In your gaze I run and hide

Wind caresses stone

Erases me and everyone

Giving sense to you

Acting as anything but true

Faces, passing

Fading, moving fast

Endless faces

Faces, moving fast

Dust fades away

Reveals the wounds of yesterday

I see in our hands

A piece of sand crawling away

Looking far above

We tread below and fall in love

Disappears within years

So desert red, not seen again

These words are less than none

An emptiness, no harm is done

These words are less than none

An emptiness, no harm is done

Who will still remember

Who will be when we are dear?

They don't tell me now

The things I need are in here

Faces, passing

Fading, moving fast

Endless faces

Faces, moving fast
