Thinking ‘bout gaining more than you deserve
You put your money on the stock exchange All you have to do is to wait and believe Your swag will increase The graphs go down and rise again This roller coaster makes you feel seasick Yelling and crying and praying in vain Won’t help you save the day Mind the gap, you’ll fall into disgrace Take the rest of your pride and Run away from the evil master plan You’re going to be another ripped off man It’s a virtual world war Where mine becomes yours But they don’t have the right to steal your dreams If you want to change your life Aiming always higher Be sure you’ll scrape the bottom of your soul It’s business and it’s fake, it’s out of control Castles built in the air taking your blood toll See the rich are getting richer The poor are getting poorer The middle class won’t grow And so the story goes Don’t fool yourself again You might end up homeless Remember this wise rule: Enjoy your Stay in this fragile vice den called Earth, It could be Heaven, it could be Hell. Don’t give up the fight to stay alive, Or you will be meat for these vulturous men It’s a virtual world war Where mine becomes yours But they don’t have the right to steal your dreams If you want to change your life Aiming always higher Be sure you’ll scrape the bottom of your soul Kicked out from home ‘cause you lost your control You gamble your last cents on a slot machine. You win a fortune but you cannot stop You’re a breeding ground for this senseless greed Money won is a lot sweeter Than money earned with your sweat But remember this wise rule, Or you will Be another puppet at their command, And you will be another ripped off man It’s a virtual world war Where mine becomes yours But they don’t have the right to steal your dreams If you want to change your life Aiming always higher Be sure you’ll scrape the bottom of your soul 02. Numbers Music by Alessio Gori, Francesco Caccamo Lyrics by Alessio Gori
It’s a mess
I just realized that I’m not a man For the society I am a code A f***ing number has control Of everything I see War victims Are just numbers Casualties Other numbers For the live feed But very soon some commercials will make you Completely forget them I don’t want to see Bloody news today Night, embrace me make me feel like a child again Come take me to the place where no one cry and all fears become laughing tears save me now Like the ants, We move in fixed lines Everywhere How long should we wait for Chip implants? The few will use us like Marionettes in their hands My bank account Marked as invalid My Credit Card Has expired My ID number Non-existent, very soon they will Completely forget me So, in the end it seems That I’m free today Night, cover my escape From a fate worse than death Come take me to the place where no one cry and all fears become laughing tears make me disappear Numb The anger with your gentle moonlight Spread Carefreeness on this condemned man Save me now Let all memories fade away Let me fall astray Give a chance for my rebirth Make me child again In this restful sleep Night, set me free You know what I mean Take me to the unseen I don’t want to see Bloody news today Night, embrace me make me feel like a child again Come take me to the place where no one cry and all fears become laughing tears make me disappear Numb The anger with your gentle moonlight Spread Carefreeness on this condemned man Save me now 03. Loaded Guns In Guitar Cases Music by Alessio Gori, Francesco Caccamo Lyrics by Alberto Amadori
A messenger has travelled through time
He has come to warn about their next strike Armed and dangerous fanatics are attacking Let us greet these guys as they deserve As Paris lights go out The show is taking place tonight Bring a loaded gun in guitar case The concert's just begun We'll be waiting Just behind the scene of Bataclan Be there, stick to your guns Fight for your freedom now Save your people from the slaughter We will be ready To waste them all We'll clean the whole place up And end their holy war Don't be late, tonight is the night We need everyone to fight these fools back A couple spring rolls and a couple beers, then a glass of rum Hey there f***ing bastards, here we come Be there, stick to your guns Fight for your freedom now Save your people from the slaughter We will be ready To waste them all We'll clean the whole place up And end their holy war As Paris lights shine bright The show will soon begin tonight While our gun lays in our guitar case The party's just begun We are waiting Standing here outside the Carillon Be there, stick to your guns Fight for your freedom now Save your people from the slaughter We will be ready To waste them all We'll clean the whole place up And end their holy war 04. Band Of Brothers Music by Alessio Gori Lyrics by Alberto Amadori
Through good times and through bad times we have lived
They'd hit my face but you would bleed for me All for one and one for all: it's always been the way And those who dared mess with us would never get away with it Remember that time your girl broke out and swore At two a.m. some knocks on my door An hour later the four of us were hanging at my place Drinking shouting, laughs to tears We'd wait for dawn, heading for the beach Until the very end A band of brothers shall remain Until the very end Until the sky falls on our heads John's a top model while Jack's lost his teeth Jay is CEO of a tall company I went from hell to stars and back so many times, I won't count But with every string I break I know for sure you'll be here by me Until the very end A band of brothers shall remain Until the very end Always will be Through the years We will stand together as one Luck comes and goes but friendship lasts Strong as a rock when a storm comes Most things in life are bound to change Spare me this one to remain same All for one and one for all : the only rule we know Don't you mess up with my bros or else I will come after you Until the very end A band of brothers we shall remain Until the very end Forever and a day Until the very end A band of brothers we shall remain Until the very end Until the sky falls on our heads Always together we will stand 05. Holdout Music & lyrics by Alessio Gori
Back to the World War II in the far East
Sent to an island of the Philippines With just one assignment Never surrender, guard this place With your own life, if it’s the case For the Great Empire of the Rising Sun I will not surrender I’ll be strong Your leaflets are cheating me My doom and my destiny Belong only to a victory Hidden in the mountains for almost 30 years Companions died soon, but I shed no tears Leaflets announcing that the war is over But I, mistrust you all Keep on fighting alone I will not surrender I’ll be strong Your leaflets are cheating me. My doom and my destiny Belong only to a victory I will be loyal to my Great Empire I will fight until I’m dead Yes, this is my destiny Hold out for the last victory My memories forgotten Survive without fun Live day by day Half human and half beast My life compromised Just wait for the end Wake me from this nightmare ‘cause there ain’t no peace for this freak I, mistrust you all Keep on fighting alone I will not surrender I’ll be strong Your leaflets are cheating me. My doom and my destiny Belong only to a victory I will be loyal to my Great Empire I will fight until I’m dead Yes, this is my destiny Hold out for the last victory 06. Edge Of Dreams Music by Alessio Gori, Francesco Caccamo Lyrics by Alessio Gori
I have found the way
To travel through time and space I have seen technology Make mankind disappear Set free this world from fear Our morbid thirst for knowledge turned Upon us. Our descendants will destroy The world as we know it and human being Are destined to a relentless extinction Oh, there’s no appeal, no second chance, Emptiness surrounds us Fly with your mind beyond the edge of dreams ‘cause everything is so damn real It’s the failure of rationality Let fantasy prevail over it Wars, exodus, Culture walls, Can’t avoid the end We are condemned So don’t run waiting for your doom Fly with your mind beyond the edge of dreams ‘cause everything is so damn real It’s the failure of rationality Let fantasy prevail over it Better find a way to stop this before We lose everything we care ‘bout. Better break the spell that surrounds this Earth, But when you feel lost don’t stop to, Fly with your mind beyond the edge of dreams ‘cause everything is so damn real It’s the failure of rationality Let fantasy prevail over it Stop this endless quest for immortality ‘cause future is so damn unclear. Remember you create your own destiny So plan ahead, don’t live in fear 07. Dawn Of Life Music & lyrics by Alessio Gori
I can’t stop gazing at your mother
Can’t stop dreaming of you Grow inside that sweet cradle Sleep safe and sound I’m here for you And always will be What am I supposed to feel? I still don’t know But I will always love you Caressing your mother’s belly I can feel you move Listening to your feeble heartbeat I can steal the groove This dawn of life enlightens me And like a fire consumes my dreams ‘cause reality is now transcending my fantasies I’ll learn to embrace every moment with you Love you to the depths of my soul Every time you’ll fall down I will teach you How to get up stronger than before You, reset my whole existence You, the shining star that brightens my darkest hour You, will fill every silence And you, will be the sweetest music I’ve ever heard I can’t stop gazing at your mother Can’t stop dreaming of you Grow inside that sweet cradle Sleep safe and sound Caressing your mother’s belly I can feel you move Listening to your feeble heartbeat I can steal the groove I’ll learn to embrace every moment with you Love you to the depths of my soul. Every time you’ll fall down I will teach you How to get up stronger than before You, reset my whole existence You, the shining star that brightens my darkest hour You, will fill every silence ‘cause you, will be the sweetest music You, the greatest gift of my life You, the living miracle that reminds me to rejoice And I’ll be lost in your eyes Wishing to lose myself in you forever and a day 08. Tropical Paradise Music by Alessio Gori Lyrics by Alberto Amadori
I'm leaving it all behind
Say farewell to you all I found the ultimate place to carry on I have been climbing up the ladders of business, of success Only to find them leaning on wrong walls Now I'll tear down these walls, no more disguise To my true Eden I'm gonna fly It's a place where the sun always shines Check this out: tropical paradise! Wild as a caveman On a desert island Fresh fruits and raw fish Are My only worries Slave to the sweet caress of the trade winds I'll be I will dive headlong into the seas Spend the rest of my days Gazing at horizons blaze White-sand visions, neverending waves Ripple crystal clear onto the sand Glistening beach where a cooling shade awaits To carry away all trace of this old pain Where the tranquil waters draw the eye Changing colours with the dazzling light Come and check this out it ain't no lie Join me in tropical paradise We will count sand grains as daylight dies Blowing conches like "Lord of the flies" ! 09. Lonely Road Music & lyrics by Alessio Gori
Walking down this lonely road all alone
Emptiness please, fill my dark thoughts Listen to my prayer, I’m here to atone Whispers of leaves, how I can get through I can’t live with this weight on my shoulders I’m a lost soul in search for forgiveness I shed all my tears since you passed away Now I’m going astray again And when I walk this lonely road I feel the wind I know you are there embracing me forever But we will meet again in heaven I will wait the final day with you in my heart Watch over me from the blue sky Please restore in me, the lost taste of life Walking down this lonely road now I see Mindfulness is setting me free And when I walk this lonely road I feel the wind I know you are there embracing me forever But we will meet again in heaven I will wait the final day with you in my heart Watch over me from the blue sky Please restore in me, the lost taste of life 10.

I’ll tell you a story of liberty
Dear cellmate hear begin The memories of a venetian merchant in the far east Through the lands, then back from the sea 15 thousand miles, more than 20 years far from home Learning that mysterious world. Just fifteen, raised by an uncle and aunt Then my father returned and a new journey began Heading for Cathay, to the Kublai Khan Spices, gems, treasures unfold My thirst for knowledge Spread across those lands unknown And I’ll disclose them all Marco Polo, his travels changed forever history He inspired future travellers To unveil the marvels of the world We started that journey to fulfil Kublai Khan’s requests, The oil of the lamp in Jerusalem. At his court he wanted also a hundred Christians to learn all the Seven Arts Hard to survive, but we reached Dadu Spices, gems, treasures unfold My thirst for knowledge Spread across those lands unknown And I’ll disclose them all Marco Polo, his travels changed forever history He inspired future travellers To unveil the marvels of the world Spices, gems, treasures unfold My thirst for knowledge Spread across those lands unknown And I’ll disclose them all Marco Polo, hai cambiato il corso della storia Ispirazione per l’umanità A raggiungere ogni meta |
