===============

Through bursts of laughter in a crowded, roaring night,
where all the guests were celebrating under light,
you have forgotten him - the angel you displaced,
while all your passions in a wild dance interlace.

Now tell the truth, it will be hard for you to see
and recognize him in a piano's strict disguise?
Yet he will play all night, with haunting melody,
for all of you who dance in masks and heavy lies.

The useless stars will shine, the bells will sharply toll,
deprived of ecstasy, and blind to passion's fire.
No drop of deep regret or sorrow will inspire
the cascade of your gowns that fall without control.

We only recognize the flesh that has no sin.
It's so absurdly fine, the world we're living in.
And you can cruelly forget the things you knew,
remaining cold to what is happening to you.

But when the morning sun begins to rise and shine,
and touches all your face with just a golden line,
to recognize him there will be too hard to bear -
you'll simply choose to think a new day's waiting there.

And yet the mirror holds the final, hidden key.
When looking at your own reflection, you will see
his silhouette appear right there behind your soul.
A sudden, helpless pull will take its full control.
