"Omerta"

Davide Galasso

 

 

"I lay wounded.

 

Bleeding, still breathing.

 

I speak to my assailant;

 

 

The code of honour. The code of silence.

 

 

And if you should kill me.

 

Forgivness is bleeding.

 

And if I should live

 

Vengance is screaming.

 

 

He who is deaf,

 

He who is blind,

 

He who is silent,

 

He will live a hundred years in peace.

 

Our one true colour,

Die as an Italian,

Rather than live as any other man.

 

 

And if you should kill me.

 

Forgivness is bleeding.

 

And if I should live

 

Vengance is screaming.

 

 

Bleeding, still breathing.

 

I remember my assailant;

 

 

The code of honour. The code of silence.

 

The revenge, I can not keep inside.

 

...

I'm still breathing."

"He who is deaf, He who is blind, He who is silent, He will live a hundred years in peace. " Just love these lines right here, this is a wonderful write here, very well written.
