Sea of January

Sea of January
You’ve got inside the demons
Trying to be free
But kept locked by god’s eagles

I ask to the sea about my future
If I’ll be again father of the illusion

Sea of January
You’re always a surprise
In the everyday beat
Of this winter so unkind

So let me imagine new tomorrows
Further on disasters and on sorrow

It’s a little present after Christmas
And the ribbons are these rays of sun
I feel brilliant like some nepheline
Found into the mud by night

And I watch your face tired of darkness
And I would like saying something will change
But I can’t lie in front of this sea
We are here only for challenge

We are here to see
If there is little hope
To paint over me
And over you a smile

I know you want to understand my secrets
But I am not hiding anything

It’s a little present after Christmas
And the ribbons are these rays of sun
I feel brilliant like some nepheline
Found into the mud by night

And I watch your face tired of darkness
And I would like saying something will change
But I can’t lie in front of this sea
We are here only for challenge
