An angel came to see me awakening from my dreams
To lay his hands on my mouth, to press his lips on mine
Gently against my heart he spoke about you
He said that you were doing well, that you wouldn't come back
Through a sign of his white wings that meant he had to leave
When I was nothing but tears he smiled at me
Day after day the sun has to set
All the most beautiful things on this earth can't replace your mouth
I am the Christ
And you are my cross
And that makes Rome laugh
I am the Christ
Just an idiot, hanging there
Having loved the others too much
I'm walking between crowds that throw stones at me
Just a bleak raft at sea, welcome in hell
And if love has driven nails into my heart
Then only one second of your love is worth centuries of suffering
The deathly angel told me: "The time has come
My child, have no regrets, love is what you lost"
Thus I go to my cross without remorse
Saying to myself that, yes, maybe one day you'll return to me
I am the Christ
And you are my cross
And that, that makes the good peopel of Rome laugh
I am the Christ
Just an idiot, hanging there
Having loved the others too much
