1. New Frontiers
”..Tu condanniamo al carcere formale in questo Sant’Uffizio ad arbitrio nostro ... riservando a noi la facuoltá di moderare, mutare, o levar in tutto o in part le pene e penitenze.
E cosi diciamo, pronuntiamo, sententiamo, dichiariamo, ordiniamo ...”
2. Stargazer
Freedom now is just a memory of youth
When my future seemed to be in my hands
A thousand dreams now fade
As I discover this new world
And the cage of reality is suffocating me
All I do is pray
And my days keep passing by
Searching for a new horizon
Another world to start a brand new life
Where I can forget my mistakes
Still I won’t surrender as long as I’m alive
I know if I go on mysteries unfold
My inner strength will bring me
Back to the light
Of a new dawn of wisdom and faith
Make my sun always shine
In a new day of wisdom and faith
Make my star always shine
Centuries ago someone left a sign
We should follow until we reach the truth
Someone now is saying nothing can be true
But the laws they write and we obey
3. Rage (instrumental)
4. I Hold The Key (Into The Void)
I fight against my darkest fears
And try to lead myself
Towards a major step in life
And expand my universe
Bound to get the best of life
Working hard all day and night
All I’m working for is fame
All is there for me
No religion to believe in
No rules to abide by
No shadows on my faith
I’m sure I need no help!
Humbleness is not for me
Can anybody lead me to the light?
I know the secrets of the night
I’ve got the power
I hold the key
Simple life is not for me
I deserve much more
Than any ordinary man
I’m the chosen one
I know what’s behind the door
I know what we’re living for!
I know the secrets of the night
I’ve got the power
I hold the key
5. Colours Of The Night (instrumental)
6. Mother
Mother
I still need you
To hold me tight in your arms
Mother
I still need
The warmth of your kiss
7. Let Me Cry (instrumental)
8. Justice (instrumental)
9. Fear (instrumental)
10. Burning In The Wind
Inquisition’s got me
Accusing me of conspiracy
They never see me in church
“We know you don’t believe”
They’re all masters
They’re all servants
They all betray each other
They always obey, politely submissive
They’re all clever intellectuals
They would sell their soul
For a higher rank in society
Their devotion to the wheel
If I don’t do what they say
I’ll be burning on the cross
Now the cross is standing tall
Waiting for witches’ repentance
Burning in the wind
Is religion supposed to kill
The ones who just dare to disagree?
Does religion kill?
I must pay the toll
I don’t deserve forgiving for my sins
Kneel to society!
The cross is standing tall
They’re all clever intellectuals
They would sell their soul
For a higher rank in society
Their devotion to the wheel
If I don’t do what they say
I’ll be burning on the cross
Burning in the wind
11. Aperite! (instrumental)
12. Dungeons Of The Vatican (instrumental)
13. Cold Flames Of Faith
Fear and doubts disappear when the dawn
Comes to sweep my sins away
And my soul is born again
Then the light of the day
Blows away my nightly vision
When I thought that light up in the sky was God
Now I know it was illusion
“Don’t expect to see me up there
You won’t find me in the sky
Don’t expect to see me up here
You will find me in your heart”
I’m alone again
You give us so much joy and take it back
To fill our heart with pain!
“You only get what you deserve
Remember promises you never kept”
You said you’d stand by me
Though you left me in trouble
Despite I call out your name
“Why do you call my name when you need?
Is my word only a shelter for the night?
Do you really think I must be there for you?
I can lead you across fire and the rain
All you ought to do is believe in me”
“Lighting candles in the church
Making faith an institution
While behind it all I see
Is an endless chase for wealth
A sheer display of misery
This misinterpretation of the word
Leaves no doubts
Men believe what they want to believe
Can you hear me?
Hear me, hear me
Voice from your heart
To believe in me first believe in yourself”
Into the warmth of the light
Caring voices all around
They can lock me in a prison cell
They can threat me of torture and death
They can belive I’m mad
Look me up, look me down, but I stand
Cause I know that it moves
The Inquisition won’t bend me
I surely won’t deny my ideas, my belief I won’t sacrifice
I can lead you across fire and rain
All you ought to do is believe in me
14. Suspisions (instrumental)
15. White Collars
“Stand and deliver yourself to the authority
Stand, the trial is to begin”
“You’ve gone much too far”
“Stop him! Kill him!”
“How dare you to challenge the Church?!”
“Your behaviour and your blasphemous ideas
shocked the common sense!”
The holy writings say it all
The reason why I’m accused
Is surely not the sun
I’m rejecting your cliché
I won’t fall into your grind machine
“The imputation’s heresy”
“Satanic doctrine!”
“You attempt to undermine our society’s rules!”
Your sentence was conceived a long time before
Against everyone whose belief is not quite like yours
The holy writings say it all
The reason why I’m accused
Is surely not the sun
I’m rejecting your cliché
I won’t fall into your grind machine
16. Prisoner Of Dreams (Condemned)
Day turns in to night
The light of hope shimmers
Weak and pale
Held here to be judged
Isolation kills deep inside
It’s not a man that I believe in
It’s not an idol made of stone
It’s Love, it’s more
These four walls
Are closing in onto me
Being different to be condemned
Power games
To save the System someone has to pay
Criminal thoughts from a dissident mind
The Academy doesn’t allow anyone
To place any doubt
I’m that someone they call rebel
Arrogant and proud I’ll always be
Prisoner of dreams
17. Black Rose (instrumental)
18. I Can't Smile
How can I smile at the kiss of dawn
Aware of promises never kept?
Dazing confusion is all I feel
As I realize the state I’m in
Fire won’t wipe away
The light of eternal wisdom
That will shine forever
19. Silent Cry (instrumental)
