Siamo peggio dei barbari
forse ancora più bruti
abbandonati a noi stessi
diversamente evoluti
che uccidiamo l'amore
impermeabili, assuefatti al dolore
e ci sediamo commossi
al banchetto dei vincitori
beviamola spremuta
quest'anima caduta
devota alla moneta più che alla vita
perfetta sconosciuta
Noi diciamo dei barbari
senza neppure conoscere
due nozioni di storia
con la presunzione
di come si fa la guerra
di come si prova invidia
di quanto il rancore ci riempia la vita
l'apocalisse dentro
le mani ben curate strette in preghiera
lo sguardo perso in un'ostentata sicurezza
tornerebbero indietro
guardandosi bene dal conquistarci
ci lascerebbero qui
a vaneggiare certezze
a riempire l'aria di parole vuote
Noi diciamo dei barbari
senza neppure conoscere
due nozioni di storia
con la presunzione
di come si fa la guerra
di come si prova invidia
di quanto il rancore ci riempia la vita
l'apocalisse dentro
le mani ben curate strette in preghiera
lo sguardo perso in un'ostentata sicurezza
Se tornassero i barbari
troverebbero noi
che abbiamo ucciso il tempo
facciamo bevute
alle anime perdute
perfette sconosciute
