This night, before you go to sleep... in that particular minute before fadin' away... just stop and think about me... I'll be awake this night.

Benvenuti al piccolo cinema onirico
Prima di dormire ad un passo dal risveglio
Puoi vedere cose che trovi soli lì
È uno spazio grande poco più dell'universo
E se non ci sei, riprova lunedì
Benvenuti al piccolo cinema onirico
Una balena bianca e un sottomarino nero
Un palazzo d'ossa bianche
Dentro una bambina piange
Benvenuti al piccolo cinema onirico
Benvenuti al piccolo cinema onirico

Una parola e un uragano stringo fra le labbra
Una salamandra mi cammina sulla faccia

Benvenuti al piccolo cinema onirico
Ad un passo dal risveglio, poco prima di dormire
Un gigante ha gli occhi tondi
E mi prende per la mano
Fino al bordo del cratere
Per vedere la città
Apre oggi il piccolo cinema onirico

Una parola e un uragano stringo fra le labbra
Una salamandra mi cammina sulla faccia

Benvenuti al piccolo cinema onirico
Benvenuti al piccolo cinema onirico
Benvenuti al piccolo cinema onirico
Apre oggi il piccolo cinema onirico
Benvenuti al piccolo cinema onirico
Benvenuti al piccolo cinema onirico
Benvenuti al piccolo cinema onirico
Benvenuti al piccolo cinema onirico
Benvenuti al piccolo cinema onirico

Scene Eight: The Spirit Carries On

[N:]
Where did we come from?
Why are we here?
Where do we go when we die?
What lies beyond
And what lay before?
Is anything certain in life?

They say " Life is too short"
"The here and the now"
And " You`re only given one shot"
But could there be more
Have I lived before
Or could this be all that we`ve got?

If I die tomorrow
I`d be alright
Because I believe
That after we`re gone
The spirit carries on

I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
But that was before
I`m not scared anymore
I know that my soul will transcend

I may never find all the answers
I may never understand why
I may never prove
What I know to be true
But I know that I still have to try

If I die tomorrow
I`d be alright
Because I believe
That after we`re gone
The spirit carries on

[V:]
"Move on, be brave
Don`t weep at my grave
Because I`m no longer here
But please never let
Your memories of me disappear"

[N:]
Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My questioning mind
Has help me to find
The meaning in my life again
Victoria`s real
I finally feel
At peace with the girl in my dreams
And now that I`m here
It`s perfectly clear
I found out what all of this means

If I die tomorrow
I`d be alright
Because I believe
That after we`re gone
The spirit carries on

original by Trent Raznor/NIN

I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here

what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Thanks...
