Dio è morto [English translation]

I've seen

The people my age going away

In the roads that never lead anywhere

Looking for the dream that leads to madness

While looking for something that they don't find

In the world they already have

In the nights that are bathed by wine

In the rooms that are transformed by pills

In smoke clouds

In the world made of cities

Opposing or swallowing

Our tired civilization

It's a God that is dead

Along roadsides, God is dead

In cars paid by installments, God is dead

In Summer myths, God is dead

I've been told

That this generation now doesn't believe

In what is often masked by faith

In the eternal myths of the homeland and of the hero

Because it's finally time to reject

All falsehoods

The faiths made of habits and fear

Political work that's just careerism

Self-absorbed conformism

The dignity full of emptiness

The hypocrisy of those who always

Back the winning side and never the losing one

It's a God that is dead

In killing fields, God is dead

With race myths, God is dead

With confederate hate, God is dead

But I think

That this generation of mine is ready

For a new world and for a newborn hope

For a future that they already have in their hands

For an uprising without weapons

Because now we all know

That if God dies, it's for three days

And then he rises again

In what we believe, God is risen again

In what we want, God is risen again

In the world we'll build, God is risen again
