Desdemona - Changing Skin lyrics

[music: F. Torchia/lyrics: A. Marchisio] Once upon a time I saw a mighty angel Once upon a time his aura did shine All the heavenly creatures came to see this angel But now his glory is lost in the sands of time Who am I? Why am I here? What are you looking for in my eyes? Am I the answer to all of your questions Or an idol that tells you lies? Changing skin, holy wine has made me thirsty Dying like a martyr is not enough to be Christ Changing skin, all this singing has made me deaf Once upon a time I saw an angel and the angel was me Once upon a time I saw a scary devil Once upon a time his nails scratched my back People were running scared when they saw this devil But now his acts and thoughts are allowed to rule the world Who am I? Why am I here? What are you looking for in my eyes? Am I the answer to all of your questions Or an idol that tells you lies? Changing skin, holy wine has made me thirsty Dying like a martyr is not enough to be Christ Changing skin, all this singing has made me deaf I saw a devil and the devil was me Being mocked, being loved, being despised and then forgotten Is the doom of this clown with crazy eyes and cynical smile I've been changing my skin I've been changing my skin
