LILIUM
Lyrics: Mara Campobasso
Music: Nicola Cicerale

Once upon a time
In the garden of memories
A white lily used to dwell
He used to envy
The brightness
Of the gaily coloured flowers.

No, he could not
Be part of them.

He became, growing old,
More and more tired
Of his colour
Slowly he did change
Turning into a gorgeous rose
Mysteriously he did turn
Into a gorgeous black rose.

Still he could not
Be part of them.

He provided himself with thorns
Pointed and sharp
Maybe just for defence
Tight among his own thorns
Now his tears
Were made of blood.

No, he could not
Be part of them.
