1. First Embrace
I know a man who now opens his filled eyes and everyday it is his first embrace
The first embrace of life, the first embrace after dark. He saw much more than me, than you.
So shall we live together and divided at the same time
And all I know this grave will be our home from now forever.
All days are nights to see till I see thee and nights
Bright days when you show me in a dream.
Our first embrace of life, our first embrace after dark... as if we were hastened to the end.
So shall we live together and divided at the same time
And all I know this grave will be our home from now forever.
Now there's nothing to be told... at the end of our days
Don't let go... another breath
My last nights were hard to face, when you were not with me
Shadows left me with no peace, but now I wanna rule them
No more falseness... you talk senseless
No more future... I don't... fear
You've the power to hurt me, with all your disillusion
Come with me and we will find, our first embrace again
Don't you remember when I fought against my name and my pride
So you were making a fool of me
Don't you remember that I said that I was living for
You and for that I will return
Don't you remember when I turned back on my right own tracks
But you were making a fool of me
You don't forget that I gave up my name and my home
I did not forget...
So shall we live together and divided at the same time
And all I know this grave will be our home from now forever
All days are nights to see till I see thee and nights
Bright days when you show me in a dream.
I know that all this world or someone who creeps in the dark
Has his role in our burial place.
I want to open my, my filled eyes and now
I want to live our first embrace again
Shadows left me with no peace
Now I close my eyes and pray
My last nights were hard to face, when you were not with me
Shadows left me with no peace, but now I wanna rule them
For the one who ruined our first embrace again
You've the power to hurt me, with all your disillusion
Come with me and we will find, our first embrace again
I want to fight for us again
Here in my grave...
All of my world has been buried with me, please take my hand, come with me
We'll walk together in eternity, now and forever you and me.
2. Münchausen Syndrome
I'm still here among these walls, I'm set apart in my jail
I feel like kept in the dark
Hey you please give me a help
I ask you only a cigarette, why don't you
Give me a sign?
I'm the lord, the lord for you,
I'm the devil in the mirror, are you afraid...
Afraid of me?
I really swear to tell the truth, the ache here in my brain is the worst that
I've ever felt
When I will be all alone at the bedside of Death
I'll tell true God that you have set me apart from the world
You conspire against myself, why don't you realize that the Others
Make fun of you?
I'm here for your science,
I'm glad for this
But God sent me to you,
You will help me
This is my sick brain... it hurts
I told you
You are my jailers, fools!
Oh my disciples save our hidden place
We wait for tonight, live for the escape
Wreck their lives as they did this to me
We wait for tonight, live for your life
They don't believe me, this pain's killing me (I have to go!)
We wait for tonight, we'll set you free
Oh my friends please save this brother
When I will be all alone at the bedside of Death
I'll tell true God that you have set me apart from the world
This pain like cancer growing in my brain
They will hang on my... lips
Oh my disciples save our hidden place
We wait for tonight, live for the escape
Wreck their lives as they did this to me
We wait for tonight, live for your life
They don't believe me, this pain's killing me (I have to go!)
We wait for tonight, we'll set you free
Oh my friends please save this brother
When I will be all alone at the bedside of Death
I'll tell true God that you have set me apart from the world... shit!
3. Tystnaden
This melody could be the story of us,
These sounds recount pieces of our usual lives
Differences join us in a dim canvas
Clashes make us stronger
But at the same time they weaken us.
But when we're there it's as if our cores
Become a single one,
Tears and jokes, rage and thoughts
Let's enter the people's depth
This drama could be the melody of us
Visionary view through our arms and minds
But when we're there it's as if our cores
Become a single one,
Tears and jokes, rage and thoughts
Let's enter the sightseer's heart
As the paint in a gallery
Touches deeply sightseer's heart
Joy is everything skims over our wall
Suffering and pain weaken us as far as going away
But a gaze towards the sky where sun is wonder
Where nothing becomes world,
Where our light shines.
4. Metaphora
Inside we bleed, and search, for something that won't come
Today is too far, realize that, don't try to forget
We wait in silence, this distance take us far from real
There, in my horizon, many empty spaces are
Filled with my nothing
Too many farewells of falseness
Too many blows
Many quarrels never had
Waiting inside is the fight of our lives
Too much of grudge and reward never lived
You know that I've never had time, to leave behind me
Everything I don't want
Me, as nothing had been
As words had not been
I worked hard since here
What I lived, I lived (it) for others
I was saying and thinking not to have time for me in my prayers
I was thinking of having built,
But I've never built up myself
Me, as nothing had been
As words had not been
I see in my horizon desire of sowing
You know that I've never had time to leave behind me
Everything I don't want
I witness with my closed heart and hope to die that
The ripper of my whole life is me and Metaphora of myself
I witness with my honesty: there are my seeds
And witness that I want to reappear again from me.
5. The Foolish Plan
When the heaven falls down
I gulp my sweet poison down and
Withdraw myself into my hide
Oh, I sip my roarin' defeat.
If you'd see in your hands
The blood flowing into thy darkness
Washing away all your pains
This time could build our today
Scream, pain, against this world of gratifications
But against me
This hiding in the shade is burning up your soul
And when you're reborn
Your scars will show me your eyes
Shy great unconsciousness of being carried me
And no one's inclined to admit to me anything
Since I won't find my way
In which I'll meet desires
My Hide in the shade will be the greatest part of me.
When the heavens fall down
I gulp my bitter poison down
Withdraw myself into my hide
Oh, I sip my roarin' defeat.
When we run in the dark
My blood is flowing into the darkness
Washing the whole away
Our hands could build our today.
All I've been, all I've seen
Is the plan of my foolish thoughts
All I've been, all I've seen
Is the foolish plan of my mind wrapped in thought
All I've been, all I've seen
Was created when I was buried in my "rat-race"
All I've been, all I've seen
The night seems so distant and my poison
Gives the suspense to my days
All I've been, all I've seen
The light seems so distant but my poison
Gives the suspense to my days
All I've been, all I've seen
The night seems so distant and my poison
Gives suspense... all I've been.
6. Hamlet
If the dull substance of my flesh were thought
Injurious distance should not stop my way
For then despite of space, I would be brought
From limits far remote where thou dost stay
Not so far, mine eye and heart are at a mortal war
How to divide the conquest of your irresistible sight
When you are here with your poetry.
But ah! Thought kills me that I'm not thought
To leap large lengths of miles when you are gone
These are our sacrifices, roses have thorns and silver fountains mud
But that, so much of earth and water wrought
I must attend time's leisure with my moan
Let me confess that we two... we must be twain!
Rise with your stateliness, dream of us with open eye
Like waves make towards the shore
Our minutes hasten to their end
Not so far, mine eye and heart are at a mortal war
How to divide the conquest of your irresistible sight
When you are here in your person.
But ah! Thought kills me that I'm not thought
To leap large lengths of miles when you are gone
These are our sacrifices, roses have thorns and silver fountains mud
But that, so much of earth and water wrought
I must attend time's leisure with my moan
These are our sacrifices...
Mine are heavy tears, mine is the grief of having you
So shall I compare you to a summer's day? No,
You are more lovely and more temperate
Within the distance my mind dives in yours
Who will believe my verse in time to come
If it were filled with your most high deserts, and with my love?
So long as eyes can see
So long live these lines, these give life to thee.
7. The Joke
What I see with my eyes
A crimson light that strokes my body
I feel the king of my world
All is mine my warriors screaming my name
I'm the queen of my empire
All my words are law
Reflecting my face on their shields
But suddenly the dark...
A blue light shines near me
The mirror twists my face
Tears are running down my sad face
So I wonder where my world is gone now
Fears are running down my sad soul
So I wonder where my world is gone now
I faint into this force
I wake up too far from the light and my terror brings me
That place where I've been before, it was created by my twisted mind
I realize I don't own anything of my world, a cruel joke
What I've seen with my eyes
It completely turns to sand and now
What I want from you is silence
So this stone will be the one to remain
I wonder where my world is gone
I faint into this force
Rise, beyond the sky, and sit to arise the deeps in my mind
Rise, beyond the sky, and sit to arise the deeps in my mind, I burn my
Crying, scream to the eyes that look at my row, we're dying everyday in this war
I wake up too far from the light and my terror brings me
I'm the warrior in a battle of another world
I realize that my name is on their mouth,
On you
I know that I'm the queen and king of my world
Now I wonder and ask the reasons why
Do I have to leave my armour on my path &
This is me.
8. Rewards
Weep with all the passion the guilt of your barren heart,
The weakness in the hope of rewards
And the grandeur of being
Scream with all the power the guilt of your weary heart,
The weakness in the hope of rewards
And the grandeur of my drama...
Weep with all the passion the guilt of your barren heart,
The weakness in the hope of rewards
And the grandeur of being
Memories...
Weaken...
Bitter tears...
Carry on with memories, in this picture I'm carrying with me
I take a look in it and all I can see is
My past, my years, all bittersweet
My future as uncertain beat,
My jokes, my joy, my melancholy, my stolen present
Carry on with memories, in this picture I'm carrying with me
I take a look in it and all I can see is my
Past, my years, all bittersweet
My future as uncertain beat,
My jokes, my joy, my melancholy, my stolen present
Scream with all your passion the guilt of your tired heart,
The weakness in the hope of rewards and
The grandeur of your being
Carrying on with memories, in this picture I'm
Carrying with your big life
I take a look today...
I take a look in it...
All I can see is mine...
My past, my years, my days...
You all bittersweet...
My future as uncertain beat...
Every law, you submitted to,
During your whole life
Has smothered you
Your cuts will heal up if they're only the truth
You live your life to find the right rewards
I've almost got
Ready to go
the matter straight
Ready to go
I've suffered a lot
Ready to go
I feel I'm
Ready to go
Every law, you submitted to,
During your whole life
Has smothered you
Your cuts will heal up if they're only the truth
You live your life to find the right rewards
Scream with all the passion the guilt of your tired heart,
The weakness in the hope of rewards and
The grandeur of your being
When, inside, you lie your tears fall apart
To take your fears, away of your limbs
Today is time to weep your sins high
Or fight because the truth is that
Your rewards won't come in time for you
Life could be the worst or the best but the
Time for you is come to live in spite of all
All I can say is don't wait for Death
9. The Vanishing
When you dream a lot it happens that reality
becomes confused with fantasy
and while you're saying
"do not believe it's all like that
all is different from how you
imagine it" your heart howls a weeping of pain
'cause it knows that will never exist
a reality wonderful like a dream,
will not ever & exist!
When the obsession takes you
Every night I try the spell of my rhyme
Hemmed in by void, collapsing the day
Vanishing in the delicious state of mania
Desire of accepting this living world but we can't
Giddying me 'cause of the pointed thoughts in my brain
Open the dream's eyes and only dive in
An overture of what expects me in a dream
Soil, ink, ills, stroke the hatred of tomorrow
Sky, white, health, lies... of tomorrow
Sun, death, dawn, stroke the hatred of tomorrow
Moon, life, dusk, lies... of tomorrow
A roving in my brain, ending with the cleaning sunrise
A roving in my brain...
...Sham of perfection
I live with echoes' filters
'cause this world is not enough for me now.
When the obsession takes you
Every night I try the spell of my rhyme
Hemmed in by void, collapsing the day
Vanishing in the delicious state of mania
Desire of accepting this living world but we can't
Giddying me 'cause of the pointed thoughts in my brain
Open the dream's eyes and only dive in
An overture of what expects me in a dream
Soil, ink, ills, stroke the hatred of tomorrow
Sky, white, health, lies... of tomorrow
Sun, death, dawn, stroke the hatred of tomorrow
Moon, life, dusk, lies... sham of perfection
A roving in my brain, ending with the cleaning sunrise
A roving in my brain...
...Sham of perfection
I live with echoes' filters
'cause this world is not enough for me now.
It's my sham of perfection.
When you dream a lot it happens that reality
becomes confused with fantasy
and while you're saying
"do not believe it's all like that
all is different from how you
imagine it" your heart howls a weeping of pain
'cause it knows that will never exist
a reality wonderful like a dream,
will not ever exist...
10. Pride vs Intellect
I want to push my life so strong
But now I am so tired
I wanna cry and fight at the same time
I wanna win and loosen my grip
But what do I really want?
I would like to do the whole
I decide to do.
I live between deceits and echoes of my faith
I want to disappoint no one with my escape
You have always to be in strain with all
To never crumble down in my pain
Without ever saying "I can't"
I wanna cry and fight at the same time
I am only a child that poses as a warrior
And the armour again has overwhelmed me
I have always to be in strain
With all and everyone without
Give me a rest or respite
To never crumble down
I can't see my way in
This labyrinthic game of
Opposite forces but I
Have always to be in strain with
Myself, my friends, the ones who trust in me but
All I can now is wriggle
And I live between deceits now
I can't breath, I can't stand up, no one will pick up me
'cause they know I'm too proud and I want to scrape through by myself now
I can't breath, I can't stand up, no one will pick up me
'cause they know I'm too proud and I want to scrape through by myself now
I am only a child that poses as a warrior
And the armour again has overwhelmed me
I live between deceits and echoes of my faith
I want to disappoint no one with my escape
You have always to be in strain with all
To never crumble down in my pain
Without ever saying "I can't"
Without the bitter words "I cannot"
