Intro: "Qual è quella ruina che nel fianco di qua da Trento l’Adice percosse, o per tremuoto o per sostegno manco, che da cima del monte, onde si mosse, al piano è sì la roccia discoscesa, ch’alcuna via darebbe a chi su fosse" Verse 1: A mountain torn, the silence breaks, The river weeps where the summit shakes. No rock eternal, no fortress remains, The earth remembers, it swallows the plains. Chorus: Nothing stands unbroken, Not the stone, nor crown, nor throne. You are not what you have taken – Only your heart is shown. Verse 2: The landslide roars, the valley cries, A shadow falls from the wounded skies. Possession crumbles, dust to dust, All that endures is love, and trust. Chorus: Nothing stands unbroken, Not the stone, nor crown, nor throne. You are not what you have taken – Only your heart is shown. Bridge (or whispered interlude): You will not be asked what you possessed, Nor the gold you held, nor the halls you dressed. But the weight of your heart, in silence weighed, That alone remains when the world decays. Final Chorus (epic, with choir): Nothing stands unbroken, Even mountains turn to bone. You are not what you have taken – Only your heart is known.
