Only Death And Sparrows - Μόνο Ο Θάνατος Και Τα Σπουργίτια

Rating: 5.0


The hands of the clock

are now pointing

to the hour of macabre

Only death and sparrows

are singing and dancing

on the empty streets

It is drizzly outside

but a storm rages

in silence

Inside...everywhere



Οι δείκτες του ρολογιού

τώρα δείχνουν

του μακάβριου την ώρα

Μόνο ο θάνατος και τα σπουργίτια

χορεύουν και τραγουδούν

Ψιχαλίζει έξω

μα μια καταιγίδα μαίνεται

σιωπηλά

Μέσα...παντού
