lyrics

NARCISSUS METAMORPHOSIS

Narcissus splits in two, remains paralysed with fear.
A flower has grown to the summit of his head.
The fountain is a lake where rests his soul
that the tormented heavens cross over the tumult.

The reflection of his body melts into the water
forming in his hand a barely hatched egg
from which the Narcissus flower,petals of foam,
gushing towards the clouds wich dissolve into the blue.

His shadow swoons on the red waves like a ghost
crossing the dog of which he's the master
and the animal drinks the blood of his victim
weakened by the yellow ochre of the closing day.

And the marble statue,on the draught-board
seems to detest the very plinth of its eternity
which joins the liquid where death drowns
to shine the beauty of its fingers.

A path escapes from the grey mountain
letting Echo,Liriope and Cephise be reborn
but the young man alone with his head on his knees
bathing in the light, his being becomes blurred.

And Narcissus in love with his own face
plunging into the colourful picture of storm
revives the myth, painted by a burning spirit,
of immortal love fading into madness.
