Il cielo è vuoto [English translation]

Heaven is empty, there is only sun

That blind the earth and makes the grain explode

And us, who meanwhile burn

Heaven is empty because it's waiting for the seed

Of our dreams and of what we'll do

Of what we'll do

Heaven is a bellows, it's a strange office

It's God that forgets to do all his work

The soul detaches, it doesn't make any more noise

You can close your eyes, but you can no longer die

And I care about which light you're illuminated by,

I'm illuminated by the lamps that are all my calm

I can not accept anything less than what

What I expect from you

And I expect a lot from you

Heaven is empty, there is only the breath

It's just a mirage to make fun of us,

You can no longer pretend with me,

Heaven is a limit, it's a secret, it's a treasure

It's God that forgets to do all his work

The soul detaches, it doesn't make any more noise

You can close your eyes, but you can no longer die

And I care about which light you're illuminated by,

I'm illuminated by the lamps that are all my calm

I can not accept anything less than what

Than what I expect from you

Do you realize that heaven is empty

Because our imagination

Needs space, needs space

It's empty because our imagination

Navigates in space

The soul detaches, it doesn't make any more noise

You can close your eyes, but it's forbidden to die

And I care about which light you're illuminated by

I am illuminated by the lamps that are all my calm

I can not accept anything less than what

Than what I expect from you

And I expect a lot from you

I expect a lot from you

I expect a lot from you
