1. Come In / Curley
Come in enter the Badlands
Territory of Men
Stolen nation of suffer
Sacred and unknown
Let your feelings out of here
Come in enter the Badlands
Territory of men
Stolen nation of suffer
Sacred and unknown
We will never know
If there’s nothing more
We can get to save our lives
Wasting our souls
Poisoning us all
Set the fire all around
Come in enter the Badlands
Here the Reds were born
Colour doesn’t matter
Must be red in your soul
2. Perceptions Of Reality (The Beast)
As the light of the day
Leaves its shining to the darkness
I left my lucidity to something that
I realize just after
After, after…
I drink and wait looking out the window
Something strange grows
A whiff a quiver
My spirit flies on the wings of an eagle
I feel my body far away from me
It’s like if every little noise
Did find a secret way to me
Suddenly fear attacks my mind
My soul is gone and I am going too
Words are like images that
Lighten faster than the speed of light
Colours change
The sight of my inner-self
Returning fast to reality
I’m ready soon to catch my dreams
And to return again
To float into my senses
C Perceptions of reality
H Colours of irreality
O The cold of wind
R Breezes my lips but I can fly
U Perceptions of reality
S Colours of irreality
Now I’m flying now I’m flying
Fear becomes happiness
Objects are moving all around
C H O R U S :
I take my bike and go away
I feel as if I’m motionless
And limpid sounds in circles movings
Spiral of rainbow whirling in the air
As the light of day
Steals its shining from the darkness
I regain my lucidity
From something that
I’ve not yet realized
3. Red Stained Childhood
The light of the morning sky
Knock at your door
The whistle of the wind
Ravish your dreams
Voices from the street
Surround your nest
Like a cricket you wake up
Ready to start the game
Jump and raze across fields
Play the game of olds
Descovering secrets of war
Pretending they’re only lores
Sailing the seas of grass
I flied
All around destructions of war
I ask way?
A lighten draws my view
What is this?
It looks like a pen
But burst like a bomb
Blood red paints my eyes
Vertigo of pain I’m dry
The boundaries of sanity I see
The light of the morning star
Will shine no more
The whistle of the wind
Became a tempest of pain
Voices into my head
Surrounding my grave
We’re children victims of war
Won’t sigh no more
I’ve been watching along
So long into my memories
Darkness is the only thing I see
Left alone in a corner
My life is marked by your greed
Your shitty medals
Can’t heal my wounds
I can only hope that
You don’t make anyone suffer like me
Red stained childhood
The war took its toll
4. Achtung Banditen !
Vivi e lascia vivere
Chiunque ti lascia vivere
Ma fai morire chi ti fa morire
Impotenza dammi la forza di giudicare
La giustizia che da sentenze di morte
Io ripagherò
ripagherò
Stai spogliando di vita
Il corpo nudo della mia donna che
Altrimenti non mi avrebbe
lasciato mai solo
Con la rabbia della mia impotenza
Che mi da la forza dell’esistenza
IL loro nome sta’ sopra tutti
Adesso è tempo della ribellione
Raccoglierò la loro morte
Nel mio nome che spaventa troppo
Sugli scalini della tua ipocrisia
Io salgo verso la porta della sofferenza
E quando ascolto il silenzio
IO posso sentire le loro voci
Spezzate dalla violenza del boia
C IL loro nome sta sopra tutti
H Ma il mio nome spaventa troppo
O Adesso è tempo
R Di cambiare direzione
U E’ tempo di cambiare
S Le sorti del destino
Cinquantanove persone
Uccise come bestie
Uomini colpiti e percossi a sangue
Donne violentate col pugno d’acciaio
Il sospetto è la scusa
Per alimentare la tua fame di sangue
No banditen Partizan
C H O R U S
5. Apo-logy
6. Anna Mae
In the land were witch-hunt is a law
You’ve got to fight to save yourself
Especially if you are a redskinned girl
After Wounded Knee in ’73
Became a legend in indian movement
F.B.I. Plays the card of slander
To denigrate
C H O R U S Anna-Mae
One day Anna-Mae disappear
After a strange phone-call to her sister Talking nosense
She was terrified
C H O R U S
Anna-Mae
Anna-Mae I know you didn’t lie
But lies betray you
Anna-Mae who killed you is free
Free to kill again
Anna-Mae I will never forget that day
Two months after you disappear
They found your body
Lying on the praerie
The dirty joke of federals wins
We forget the sense of our fight
She died for our dream
C H O R U S Anna-Mae
Anna-Mae died for our dream
7. Sententia
