1. More than a man
Someone whose absence leaves a void
A cheerless will in every heart
Each feels the bliss destroyed at all
And mourns the change that came at last
More than just a simple dream, more than a hope
More than a saviour...for all Mankind
It’s hard to be what they need to see
One more time
“Between distress and pleasure
My life's fading away
I’ve tried to raise the veil
That made our faith so weak, so frail”
“I’ve always tried to bear this burden
hunted thoughts repressed just one more time
the fire in my heart still burning
in the name of the Father I won’t die!
Remember me, when I’ll be crucified
There were times I couldn't hide
There were times when this was so drear
When my soul forgot its pride
And longed for one to set it free”
More than just a simple man, more than a name
More than the way to Eden for us all
It’s hard to be what they need to see
One more time
“Between distress and pleasure
My life's fading away
I’ve tried to raise the veil
That made our faith so weak, so frail”
A fearful anguish in his eyes
Fixed strainly on the vacant air
Heavily bursts in long-drawn sighs
His panting breath, enchained by fear - I won't die
The ancient past is now closer again - Crucified
More than a man
They want to see a king
More than a dream
My God will pray because my life
Won’t be spent in vain
I've tried to raise the veil
I've tried to raise the veil
And I believe in you
I won't die
And I believe in you
Solo - Bar, Terzago
Exhaling my last breath
I will rest in the sleep of death
Some weak whispers till the end
Then I’ll lay on desert sand
Now I’m on my way
The sun’s darkening once again
But I won't be back!
Idolized, Sanctified
My words still remain
Idolized, Sanctified...
Sacrificed, Crucified
In vain I've always tried
Sacrificed, Crucified...
2. Towards the unknown
The sun is rising
We are ready to leave
One kiss to our sweethearts
In the rising breeze
The last look and then
Nothing else we can do
But going on board
The ship that will bring us across this infinite sea
We will sail towards a land
That no one knows
And we will show
To every man
There is a heaven
On earth
Day by day
We are losing our faith
No way to come back
There’s no fear, only hate
But when we were
Only waiting for death
A scream made us turn
Cause we were just approaching an island that was still unknown
We will sail towards a land
That no one knows
And we will show
To every man
There is a heaven on earth
Nobody here can believe his own eyes
Finally this journey has come to an end
We've got the prize, we are not mystified
We have discovered our Paradise
Maybe we will live for a long time
But we’ve just found what is the sense of our lives
Solo – Bar, Terzago, La Russa, Terzago, Bar & Terzago
Nobody here can believe his own eyes
Finally this journey has come to an end
We've got the prize, we are not mystified
We have discovered our Paradise
Nobody here can believe his own eyes
Finally this journey has come to an end
We've got the prize, we are not mystified
We have discovered our Paradise
3. Falling
So I’m waking up again
The sun is rising in the sky
It seems to be a perfect day
But all the clouds are in my mind
I cannot tuck my sleeves up
I’m falling down, my friend
I’m swallowed by the darkness
I’m looking for your hand
The days are going by
And no help has arrived
I’ve tried and tried again
But I’m still falling down
I’ve always done my best
To care for all my friends
Even if I’ve seen
That often all my strains
Have been no use to them
I’m surely not the best man
Who’s living on this earth
I made so many mistakes
I’m probably still wrong
I’ve always done my best
To rise and rise again
But no one calls my name
No need to look for me
Because I’m falling...
...free, down the cliff
No way of coming back
It’s too late
My end is getting near
Looking for a grip
A grip to cling to
Darkness swallows me
And there is nothing I can see
But death
Solo - Terzago
I’ve asked myself one thousand times
“Am I so brave to face the end?”
My heart is wounded by a thorn
Couldn’t I do anything more?
I wait alone and silent
To stop this endless flight
A crash and nothing else
The thread is broken, man
I’m only waiting to touch
The bottom of this gorge
I’m even tired of falling
Goodbye to every one
I’ve always done my best
In every circumstance
And what is my reward
It’s not my business now
My life is falling...
...free, down the cliff
No way of coming back
It’s too late
My end is getting near
Looking for a grip
A grip to cling to
Darkness swallows me
And there is nothing I can see
But death because
I have just crossed
The line that ends my life
4. Dream hunter
Evil terror rules the world
He’s called the Lord of the Dark Shadows Throne
Nobody dares to rise against him
But once a prophecy showed him the end
“You will lose thy reign when
The sun (will) shine high three days in the sky”
Blinded with rage he faces the fear
Never believed it would have come true
He evoked a magic creature
He’s called the Dream Hunter
And he steals the dreams of men
No more longing, no more yearning
For any wish, no more
He’s called the dream hunter
Ruins even the strongest will
Nobody will revolt against the Lord
Solo - Terzago
The tyrant now was sure
To keep his dominion all over the world
All the people bereft of their dreams
No hope for them to gain freedom ‘cause
He evoked a magic creature
He’s called the Dream Hunter
And he steals the dreams of men
No more longing, no more yearning
For any wish, no more
He’s called the dream hunter
Ruins even the strongest will
Nobody will revolt against the Lord
Solo - La Russa
Far from this age
A people is giving
A hearty welcome to freedom
The beast even stole
His Lord’s dream of power
He lost his supremacy with it
He’s called the dream hunter
And he steals the dreams of men
No more longing, no more yearning
For any wish, no more
He’s called the dream hunter
Ruins even the strongest will
But he takes both good and evil hopes
5. My last words
Here comes the end for us
Just a prayer
I cannot scream
Not a voice, not a sound
Whatever I could say
Won’t bring me back to you
I've challenged death
I've lost, I pay
The struggle was so short
Too hard even for me
Solo - Bar
A life on the edge
So much to gain
But too much to lose
My life, my love
My last words are for you
The kisses in the breeze
I've to go - the chains are pulling me
No more time - I'll never hug you again
Solo - La Russa, Bar
I don't know why
The Fate played this game on us
Hold on my sweet
I'll wait for you to come
I've to go - the chains are pulling me
No more time - I'll never hug you again
-Please God listen to my last prayer
Don't let her alone-
-Saying you goodbye
My sweet-
6. The sign of the hawk
From the deepest darkness
The Sign of the Hawk
Sewn on the flag
Fed by discontent
And a loud applause
And now
You can set the world on fire
You can see what’s in our mind
Brutal action is your practice
Cold steel in your heart
Pray
For the human race
Shame
For the God that failed
Unawareness among the nations
A good chance for an easy win
A perfect plan for the occupation
-The Emperor of Wrath-
Pray
For the human race
Shame
For the God that failed
Solo - La Russa, Terzago, La Russa
Pray
For the human race
Shame
For its cruel destiny
7. The endless struggle
Darkness coming
Through the trees
I fall again
On my knees
I can’t stop now
I gotta run
I feel its presence
Just behind
No time to think
No time to wait
No time at all
Unceasing rain
Slackens me
Step by step
It’s drawing near
I can’t go on
I’m out of breath
It’s catching me
I gotta face it
No time to think
No time to wait
No time at all
Solo – Terzago
There is no other way
The fight is going to begin
The endless struggle
Between good and evil
Has finally got to
The equitime point
Solo – La Russa
There is no other way
The fight is going to begin
The endless struggle
Between good and evil
Has finally got to
The equitime point
8. The wizard's cave
The old man saw the shadow on the grey floor
His age ruined his once perfect sight
The young one was afraid he wouldn't see his love again
He went there to shun his highest pain
In the wizard's cave
He mixed no potions only emotions, feelings in a silver jar
He strongly shook them, said his prayers and a thunder crossed the air
The young man saw a knight above him who was giving him a sword
It had no edge but on a ledge he could read these words:
What - do you really think you
Know - about good and evil
Love - is the only law you have ever
Observed - Looking outside
The Night - is coming down
Insights - you will learn that often come too late
You're going to find the treasure that no one can steal
It's not around you, you can't see it, search it in yourself
Doesn't matter who you are doesn't matter where you come from
If you really have a dream don't wake until the end
The young man bravely rode to the black castle
Where the wicked prince brought his beloved
The prince was sure to kill him
In a fight without rules
But he surely didn't know the strength of love
In the wizard's cave
He mixed no potions only emotions, feelings in a silver jar
He strongly shook them, said his prayers and a thunder crossed the air
The young man saw a knight above him who was giving him a sword
It had no edge but on a ledge he could read these words:
What - do you really think you
Know - about good and evil
Love - is the only law you have ever
Observed - Looking outside
The Night - is coming down
Insights - you will learn that often come too late
Solo - La Russa
9. The veil
They were two jewels of purity
Divided by a wall that had been built many years before
He used to listen to her breathes
So many kisses have been blown through the years every day
Oh hard destiny
Please let their love come true
So one night, the elopement
A date in the dark wood of hope
No way to warn him, or to come back
Just the veil, the torn and bloodstained veil, on the ground
He stuck his dagger in his breast
The berries turned to red
When she was back and saw him
She saw the blade and met her own death
There was a little cleft in the wall
The only way they had to meet their glances of love
So many letters passed through it
The only way they had to be closer
Oh hard destiny
Please let their love come true
So one night, the elopement
A date in the dark wood of hope
No way to warn him, or to come back
Just the veil, the torn and bloodstained veil, on the ground
Solo – La Russa
So one night, the elopement
A date in the dark wood of hope
No way to warn him, or to come back
Just the veil, the torn and bloodstained veil, on the ground
10. Lucid storm
Mist all around
There’s no light in their minds
Beauty has no shape
Unseen, unrevealed
Heaven is clear
Like the chill of temptation
Curiosity is hell
Believe
Lies rule the game
They’re the hands of subjection
Trust what is said
Human nature is frail
Slavery is done
By the brightness of the sun
Beyond the stars
The dark
Believe in love
The simplest thing you’ve to learn
Get rid of thoughts
That can be like thorns
Watch the sky
Through the eyes of fear
As now you have learned the right - Man
It must be hard to believe
Happiness just a memory
Now, just a whisper in eternity
Trying everyday
To understand
What is the future
The Fate has been drawing for us?
Now We Are, we’re living in a lucid storm
Finally our boundaries are overcome
We are dreaming of a better place
Where heart and mind unite
Solo - La Russa
Happiness just a memory
Now, just a whisper in eternity
Trying everyday
To understand
What is the future
The Fate has been drawing for us?
11. The words you hear
Once again the book is open
Making display of hatred and decay
Turn the amber page don't be afraid
Your golden cage now is a fallen reign
The circle never ends
The sequence never brakes
Returning in my head
The sequence never dies
Again you can have the stars in your hand
And feel like a power caresses you
Confident as a fearless child
You see the immense future defined
The words you hear
The words you hate
They say you must drift away
You make, they kill
You hope, they will talk
And bring you down again
Just as knowledge makes me stronger - I'll hold on
In my mind stars fall with wonder - Again
The words you hear
The words you hate
They say you must drift away
You make, they kill
You hope, they will talk
And bring you down again
I'll hold on
Again...
