1. Intro




2. Letter For An Angel

October the 13th, we're going to the front
My dear I wish I was at home with you
This morning comrades of mine said we can begin to crow
Dirty war's over yet, just a matter of days
Walking in the mud all day, I can hear guns and distant shouts
I have no thought but for you and the cursed day I had to leave

Letter for an angel
Your words won't be carried across the skies
Letter for an angel

My love wait me for some days
On my return, in a while I hope
I'm eager to find you on my way
For a life of peace and joy
Letter for an angel

[Choirs :]
Santa Maria, dale tua benevolenza

Sunday November the 1st we got bad news from the front
We'll never finish with it, shall you still love me ?
Yesterday I had a dream of white lace and deep velvet
I have no thought but for you and the holy day we'll marry

Letter for an angel
Your words won't be carried across the skies
Letter for an angel

[Choirs :]
Santa Maria, dale tua benevolenza
Tragico destino, postuma lettera, cattivo presagio

I've gone for so many days
On my return, who can really know
If you'll be awaiting on my way
For that life of peace and joy
Letter for an angel




3. Torn Dress

[Choirs :]
Vizi degli oumini hanno preso il sopravvento su me
Stammi vicino, non sei qui adesso, aiutami presto subito

Wandering soldiers break into that sweet home
Hidden and scared she's crying
Don't be afraid of some gallant wanderers
Just looking for a good time, trying to forget
Give us a little love
Please let us take a rest
Horrors of war are deep in our minds
Give us your sweetness, your consolation
Or we'll take them by force
Forgive my sin
God shall let me leave in peace of mind
Forget my face
You full of grace

[Choirs :]
Vizi degli oumini hanno preso il sopravvento su me
Stammi vicino, non sei qui adesso, aiutami presto subito

Come appease our lust, and look me in the eyes
Your face is tense with grief
Give us that wonder, don't force us to come to blows
Just shut up and dry your tears, take off all that clothes
Forgive my sin
God shall let me leave in peace of mind
Forget my face
Forgive my sin




4. Usual Tragedy

Autumn morning
On the tiles he's lying
Unlamented
No friend no relative
A good riddance
That cold murderer
Devil incarnate
Thank goodness he's gone
He's gone
Nobody wonders why
Even so
His sins were justified
No one knows, he was just a

Soft - hearted guy
Pleasant n' shy
No shell around and some riches inside
Panting victim of a usual tragedy
Soft - hearted guy
Wandering why
Such a cruel damnation
That was no more than a usual tragedy
The heaven.. a lie.. I've seen no god nor light
Autumn morning
On the tiles he's lying
Unlamented
Wounded to death
In his soul so frail
He turned into wild beast
Thank goodness he's gone
Nobody wonders why
Even so
His sins were justified
No one knows, he was just a
Soft - hearted guy
Pleasant n' shy
No shell around and some riches inside
Panting victim of a usual tragedy
Soft - hearted guy
Wandering why
Such a cruel damnation
That was no more than a usual tragedy




5. The Deserter

I'm scared for war, the smell of blood
Agony rattles make me cry
I feel no hate for my enemy
Why should I kill ?
Why should I stay ?
Mother bring me back home
Mother take me far away

The time has come to take my leave
Don't have a grudge against me
Opportune darkness ... I'm waking up and run
Away in the silent night

Running through meadows and hills
Grass unstained and morning dew
I swear I won't
Come back in the world of steel
Finally my dream came true

Listening to the river flows
Light touch of the wind on the leafs
I escaped from the war claws
Now I will never meet the grief

Full of hazards anyway
Whether I leave or I stay
They'll catch me up
I know lot which waits for me
Death is the price but I'm free

For them I'm a coward, evil comrade
Unfit to be 'cause I've done the choice of life
I'm a deserter

[Choirs :]
Fellonia a suoi fratelli, traditore
La scelta di salvarsi, disertore
Vigliacheria vergognosa, infedelta colpevole

For them I'm a coward, evil comrade
Unfit to be 'cause I've done the choice of life
I'm a deserter




6. Blind

I hold back, no more cries
I dig your hole under moonlight
So much fear in these eyes
I'll never forget that sight

Turn of my life, burying my bride
Madness filled my brain
Obsession to settle the score

Turn of my life, hunting their vice
Madness wash my stains
With all blood that I make flow

Ever since, a wandering beast
No mercy, I've lost my sight
Have I become so blind ?

Ever since, a cold murderer
Cruelty has become my guide
Have I become so blind ?

Forgiveness in no wise
Hate and tears remain inside

Turn of my life, burying my bride
Madness filled my brain
Obsession to settle the score

Ever since, a wandering beast
No mercy, I've lost my sight
Have I become so blind ?

Ever since, a cold murderer
Cruelty has become my guide
Have I become so blind ?




7. Called Up

My dear I've heard a piece of bad news
Events are in all the dailies
And mum is crying her eyes out
All the guys are called up at the town square
- as I will ... I have to go off to the war

My dear don't cry, don't be frightened
I won't follow the way of my dad
And I won't live apart from you

They said that we'll come back in a few days
but for the moment I have to go off to the war

This is the final stage before delight and joy

A kind of devil trial to make us enjoy

All these peaceful nights interlaced, living our carefree lives

I'll be back to you and that day, you will be my wife

It'll left a painful memory deep in our minds




8. Daddy's Grave

Faded rose in the funeral drum of daddy's grave
Bitter tears falling on the stone of daddy's grave

Mother said he will always watch over me
Mother said he will cut me off from cruel fate
She said he sits at the right of the lord
And always feels proud of me

Your life was vain
Dim recollection of you ...
Nothing remains
But golden letters on your cross

[Choirs :]
Nessuno se ne ricordera
Nessuno te ne ringraziera

As the bell's ringing victory, in pain we pray
As the crowd's singing the end of war in pain we pray

Mother said he will always watch over me
Mother said he will cut me off from cruel fate
She said he sits at the right of the lord
And always feels proud of me

Your life was vain
Dim recollection of you ...
Nothing remains
But golden letters on your cross

[Choirs :]
Nessuno se ne ricordera
Nessuno te ne ringraziera




9. My Guilty Absence

Awful sight ... among ruins and dust,
In torn dress, my beloved died in pain
Awaiting my hand to take her astray
Endless agony, crying for my guilty absence

Did we deserve such a fate
Now I'll find shelter in my hate
Sweet dreams have gone, my poor lambs among the wolves

Lord of hell,
I'm kneeling in front of you
I need a shell

Get my soul it's yours now

Lord of hell,
Lend me your force and I swear
To serve your realm

With never-ending hate




10. Slave Of Time

See my friend, as you've always stood in fear
You will face the coming fatal stage in a complete loneliness
Do you hope that your beloved is waiting for you
In this holy world you have in mind
Full of promises, dazzling sight

Hold fast greybeard, keep your fate
Don't think it over, you're on the right way

Baseness of this life
Weakness in your arm
In days gone by
Your feats were glorified
But you were enslaved all the same
Just a slave of time

See my friend, as you've always stood in fear
No one can remind how were done all these scars on your back
They still less know how gapping are those in your soul
My friend, in any case your time has come
With deserted funerals

Hold fast greybeard, keep your fate
Don't think it over, you're on the right way

Baseness of this life
Weakness in your arm
In days gone by
Your feats were glorified
But you were enslaved all the same
Just a slave of time
