To Gog and to Magog

When you are alone in front of the wind
And your mind is working like a mill
There’s nothing to discover but you
You’ve got enormous need of the truth

You know you fell in a fairy trick
Around you only trees and some sheep
There’s some drizzle but the sky is blue
Millions paths to follow with boots

So cut the winter rose today
And bring it now to God
While walking here along the lane
To Gog and to Magog *

Is there some space between
The legends and the prayers
In places like these where you can’t avoid to lose
Yourself for ages

And I go on to walk without
Cognition of the time
Into the mud I find my feet
When the evening arrives

To learn something you have
To miss the well known path
In places like these where you can’t avoid to lose
Yourself for ages

After every bend an hope is lit
To find after it the giant trees
The bible name is right to define
These creatures deeply divine

But there’s challenge into every search
And what you find is just what you learn
So on my way no Gog nor Magog
Only darkness in my coming back home

So cut the winter rose today
And bring it now to God
While walking here along the lane
To Gog and to Magog *

Is there some space between
The legends and the prayers
In places like these where you can’t avoid to lose
Yourself for ages

And I go on to walk without
Cognition of the time
Into the mud I find my feet
When the evening arrives

To learn something you have
To miss the well known path
In places like these where you can’t avoid to lose
Yourself for ages

Glanstonbury, 9 dicembre 2012, lungo il sentiero per Gog e Magog

* Gog e Magog sono querce millenarie che si trovano nei pressi di Glanstonbury e che si ritiene siano le uniche due superstiti di un antico cerchio druidico. I loro nomi sono quelli degli antichi giganti biblici (vedi Genesi, Ezechiele, ecc)
