Change

Curtains up let’s start the story
Here it comes the show for you
Take the time to listen to me
We’re gonna start kickin’ your ass

We perform the brand new story 
of ye old brave new world
Made of words, made of ash
Set on fire and back to mud
Stone by stone, word by word
Depicting God in mines of gold
Renewed each time, got used to it
Let’s praise the noise of the hollow voice
That answers whys with its golden trustful lies

This is time for a change 
no regret for the sweet revenge

Shout out the rebel yell
Of a thought far from itself
A step ahead from what is cause
A step ahead from its effect
Tales of betrayed by fair betrayers 
Betrayed by their betraying cause
Another day, another time 
Evidence of a history lived again
With obsolete self esteem 

Take the time to behold this story
Here it’s told of layered truths
Like a mouse inside a cage
First tries to escape then looks for food
No, no, no, no, no he doesn't start to doubt the doubt
He clings to his life and forgets his captive pride

This is time for a change 
no regret for the sweet revenge


Too Late

Supposed to sing something else
Supposed to play a different game
Drowned in a sea of remarks
I stay afloat on my throne of hate
You started this war that I won't lose

I'm the freedom you have never known in your life
And you'll never know until the end of your days

Supposed to love you and your kids
Supposed to ignore they'll become as you are
Childhood is not innocence
Just the hall of hotel "Culture"
You started this war that I won't lose

I'm the freedom you have never known in your life
And you'll never know until the end of your days

When you open your eyes it'll be too late for you
If you open your eyes you'll hopelessly regret your time
That won't be back, never again


Lullaby for Mankind

In a cradle of love
The first breath through a misty route
From a pram to your views on your knees you go
On your feet you start mumbling of everything
That’s around, that’s inside of what is good and what is nice
You keep playing with your toys like an animal in its cage
Searching soon for company looking forward to listening to the 

Lullaby for mankind the precious gift for the mind
Wrapped in silken clothes the nanny keeps singing her rhyme

Brought to a shiny field 
You’re shown your first bloomy trees 
You grow up eating fruits you’ve been brought you do
On your legs you keep talking of everything
That’s your school, that’s your job of what is friendship and what is love
You keep trusting in your ghosts the ones that last the ones that’ll fall
A nice prelude a bad omen looking forward to listening to the

Lullaby for mankind the precious gift for the mind
Wrapped in silken clothes the nanny keeps singing her rhyme
Lullaby for mankind the melody played by the time
Soft as silk its sound the lullaby deafens the crowd

Sweet symphony that enchants crowds
Led by a conductor with no face
Who keeps singing

Spent in vain your best days
You doubt of what your hopes have been about
Pictures gone of a pride faded now you see
In your bed you keep thinking of everything
That’s been you, that’s been sure of what is left of what’s your faults
You regret what you did not blaming time praying god
Dying a bit each day more looking forward to listening to the 

Lullaby for mankind the precious gift for the mind
Wrapped in silken clothes the nanny keeps singing her rhyme
Lullaby for mankind the melody played by the time
Soft as silk its sound the lullaby deafens the crowd
Lullaby for mankind the precious gift for the mind
Wrapped in silken clothes the nanny keeps singing her rhyme
Lullaby for mankind the melody played by the time
Soft as silk its sound lullaby, lullaby 


Dream Awake


Good faces, nice smiles
Success plans, for life
Cool projects
Assuring me I’m someone
Expectations for the future I must have
Waiting for a time that’ll come, it’ll come

Living like a dream awake you sleep
Vision of a foreclosed reality
This is the way I don’t wanna be
This is the way I don’t wanna live
I live my way

Groups of people, communication codes
Beauty of relations
Nothing but confines
That kill your inner ego
Compromise to be part of something
Human need lo legitimate an average being

Living like a dream awake we sleep
Vision of a foreclosed reality
This is the way I don’t wanna be
This is the way I don’t wanna live
I live my way

Feel free to choose your life
Be proud realizing yourself
Following needs world created for you
Tasting delights of this dream awake

This is the way I don’t wanna be
This is the way I don’t wanna live
I live my way


Wise Hedonist

This is the tale of a man who made
Truth his awareness
First he tried to see what's life
Day by day, learnt his way
But his surprise faded away

He won't care for what is right
He won't live by rules or plans
Hedonism will be his moral
Carpe diem fills his soul and mind  

Discussing all he was taught
He got new visions
What he saw turned into confirms
One after one
Intuition marked the path 
to a new expression
Cause effect, useless view
Just chosen ones will see more

Cutting like a knife
The gift of an unknown one
Unveils itself

He won't care for what is right
He won't live by rules or plans
Hedonism will be his moral
Carpe diem fills his soul and mind  

Thus ends the story of this man
No one could understand
Daemon he was called by who he knew
No more fears, no mercy
Doubt everything, scare or be scared

He won't care for what is right
He won't live by rules or plans
Hedonism will be his moral
Carpe diem fills his soul and mind


Lovesong

Welcome to this tale where all is unreal and all the men are fair
Chapter one at line one, there's love written everywhere
To the end of this tale it fades more and more

Like a chameleon whose color changes 
To match the environments
The meanings fit to use 
Nothing means love

Welcome to this world where needs of man rule everywhere
Man created love for he's alone and scared
Lie of weakness to justify desire 

Like a chameleon whose color changes 
To match the environments
The meanings fit to use 
Nothing means love

Welcome to this tale where each character
Loves somebody else, duty of chance
Like a chameleon whose color changes
People fit to life unaware of love
As something beyond
Just a little word, a useless word 
Neverending game
Like a flame 
A perpetual flame

Welcome to the end of a timeless compromise, neverending rule
Two can't become one if the one has got a soul
One must be complete, two is just more...

Like a chameleon whose color changes 
To match the environments
The meanings fit to use 
Nothing means love



Dedicated to

Hey you, listen to this voice
Today it’s told about a strange chess game
There’s the tower and there’s the king
Some move ahead, some can’t step back, the only way they can

Imagine you are inside the game
Giving movements to a piece on a square
Black or white, fast or slow, noble or poor
Part of some graceful rules
Look around what can you see?
Are these the disposable certainties that make you live?
(So this song’s not for you)

This song is dedicated to
Everyone who wanted more 
And didn’t fear to dare again
This song is dedicated to 
Everyone misunderstood
Who didn’t fear to stand alone

Scramble pieces, replay the game
Change time and change the place
Move the character inside the stage
Is it different or just the same?
Who doesn’t bet, who just accepts
Who gives it up, who’s sure enough
Sorry, this song is not for you

Hey you, listen to this voice
Today it’s told about the verdict of the board
No matter who the winner is
The opponents play this game, without scores or prize the only way they can

Imagine you are inside the game
Giving soul to a piece on a square
Black or white, fast or slow, noble or poor
Different from the others unaware
Look around what can you see?
Are these the disposable certainties that make you live?
(So this song’s not for you)

This song is dedicated to
Everyone who wanted more 
And didn’t fear to dare again
This song is dedicated to 
Everyone misunderstood
Who didn’t fear to stand alone


Salvation

Strong this great show has been set
All characters are on stage
Which slave wants really to escape
By art directors our masters?
A merry-go-round of cool roles 
Led me to wonder who I am

Starlight blurred
Lights my way
Hopes for some salvation
Lost in a dream
The more the desire the more the denial 
Searching for something that can’t be got
In a role with some rules
Nothing changes just different shows

Theater of roles of a million of roles 
Proudly bringing on the show
Circus of stars main attractions tonight
Fed and feeding their boss in the crowd

Dynasty wars for the sake of thrones
Useless like their actors
Property fights in the name of rights
Dues to pay for a dull race
Freedom image effective coolant for rage
The rage that's chocked with masks
The masquerade of performers who play
Their characters unaware
Sure to find some sense the better 
Their performance is

On stage ready to go
Acting like prima donnas
Slaves of some other slave
With values and rules to respect
But we are not different from leaves 
Led around by a moral wind

Starlight blurred
Lights my way
Hopes for some salvation
Lost in a dream
The more the desire the more the denial 
Searching for something that can’t be got
In a role with some rules
Nothing changes just different shows


Cacophonic Nature

Surprise this is me the devil, the angel
The fool of a dull court the actor, the poet
Whose visions kill the common sense religion of reason
Against those who can't see, blind just like

Who makes sense, who doesn't care
The conservatives, who likes progress
I don't care, don't care for structures
I just care for my intuition
A few can see, many will never be
It's not your life but who you are

Water flows around the ground
Dancing like time in space
Leaves the sign and fades away
Rocks shift shape
One after one
To be the ground to be signed

Surprise this is me the devil, the angel
The fool of a dull court the actor, the poet
Whose visions kill the common sense religion of reason
Against those who can't see, blind just like

Who makes sense, who doesn't care
The conservatives, who likes progress
I don't care, don't care for structures
I just care for my intuition
A few can see, many will never be
It's not your life but who you are

Water flows around the ground
Dancing like time in space
Leaves the sign and fades away
Rocks shift shape
One after one
To be the ground to be signed


4 My

A brand new day the same bulls on parade
Are bringing up the noise
Grown up kids and fuckin' girls
The talk of them all, the talk of them all, the talk of them all to kill my world

Mothers of fathers who teach their crap to the endless
Winners and losers who'll spit their dumb truths on
Their worst errors
For my love, for my soul, for me

You better keep your love for you!

Ain't got no fairy tales
Too many kings for each queen
Slivers of past foreseen
Won't wash what you've been

Mothers of fathers who teach their crap to the endless
Winners and losers who'll spit their dumb truths on
Their worst errors
For my love, for my soul, for me

I'm the king of a land you can't see
My crown of ideals for my freedom is my seal

Ain't got no fairy tales, each time the same
Promises of endless loves broken like waves
In a club the grim set of vulgar talks
Another love among betrayer from the start
Jabbering to find the same nothing to share
What's the prize for being the next to share this fate?

I'm the king of a land you can't see
My crown of ideals for my freedom is my seal

Again and again the bitch never learns
Her mouth is open wide
Just the next among a lot
The talk of them all, the talk of them all, the talk of them all to kill my world

Mothers of fathers who teach their crap to the endless
Winners and losers who'll spit their dumb truths on
Their worst errors
For my love, for my soul, for me

I'm the king of a land you can't see
My crown of ideals for my freedom is my seal


Latin Truths


Just a poet and his art to sing
What his eyes could see
Like a metaphor explains he wrote
Poems of notes, sounds of thoughts for the wind

She was just another doll but with
Eyes as deep as seas
Born with beauty in her mind
She knew that just one man could fill her soul in a life

But it often happens that people 
Lose their faith and hopes
Betrayers of their ideals so say
They love, but they know they do not

Sometimes learning too late what is love

And the gems of the boy can't help being hurt 
By so much beauty already gone

And he knew he would have lived alone cause he
Couldn't have never forgiven all her time wasted in all the wounds of his imagination



Three

Sons of time we are offspring fed with shades
Spaces in a grid set by ourselves from nowhere
Stained truths we claim like a dusty wind
Children changing mind playing adult games in line
Calling numbers with names
Counting names with numbers

If three were two and one four
We'd love the rail to live more

Oracles of life born from rainy nights
Speak of who we are with precise terms and words
Answers for questions that still have to be thought
What eyes can't see pacifies our mind and soul
Calling numbers with names
Counting names with numbers

If three were two and one four
We'd love the rail to live more
If three were two and one four
We'd follow the rail to live more

If three were two and one four
We'd love the rail to live more
