Invisible
A figure lying unseen On those eternal waves The saddest death The distance filling me with fear The sea cliff being the lonely watcher of the fall The only death That could get rid of all my pain Time has come to turn off all the lights 02. Timeshift Box Music by Kingcrow
Instrumental
03. Islands Music by Kingcrow Lyrics by Diego Cafolla & Mauro Gelsomini
Closed in a dark embrace
We'll act against adversity Blurting our minds and souls The fate allowed to lay aside Ashes of broken limbs Remain from our cinder Rest in the fireplace before The sight of awareness (Strained) Down in the deep Of a dying heart's believer Something that crawls And rise up again When the lambs cry It's time for the reason Glimmers of hope That only outstand Scenes from a remote past Can live down the corner Turning the page of life somehow Can be your strength of will Strength Down in the deep Of a dying heart's believer Something that crawls And rise up again When the lambs cry It's time for the reason Glimmers of hope That only outstand Down in the deep Of a dying heart's believer Something that crawls And rise up again When the lambs cry It's time for the reason Glimmers of hope That only outstand 04. The Great Silence Music by Kingcrow Lyrics by Diego Cafolla & Mauro Gelsomini
On towards things
Here and there Threats are posing Everywhere How can each one Face the blow? Maybe, somehow You don't know Hide, behind a veil of still So the cause can't be revealed Is a defense or a shroud If won't never cry aloud? Now moreover of your hush Even tears are coldly brushed 05. Lullaby for an Innocent Music by Kingcrow Lyrics by Ivan Nastasi & Mauro Gelsomini
Lay down and sleep
Peaceful and quiet Look upon you There's someone who cares Lights on the wall Dispel the shades So close your eyes Let the dream go Here on your bed Singing a song Follow my rhymes They'll let you dream I'm next to you (Lay down and sleep) (Peaceful and quiet) Watching you smiling (Look upon you) And nuzzling up to me (There's someone who cares) I tuck you in (Lights on the wall) The candle is burning out (Dispel the shades) (So close your eyes) Can you hear me breathe? (Let the dream go) (Hoo-ooh) (Hoo-ooh) "Goodnight" Silently All your toys Lie around on the floor Dancing dolls Have their rest Near the half-opened door Lullaby As sunflowers Your sweet smile will bloom Close your eyes Dreams are hidden In this silent night 06. Evasion Music by Kingcrow Lyrics by Diego Cafolla & Mauro Gelsomini
When you are stuck inside
By your own decision When you're closest again To a dead-end street Well, the time has arrived For abrupt occasions Can you still see a chance As it will appear? It discloses sometimes With a darkened shining Maybe time and again You will oversleep And a breath gaping now As you've been proceeding When it's late to evade From a certain slip "Take a look inside your vision One mission, one aim Lift filters from your eyes Illusion are shattered by your own will" Oh Yes, I'm wondering why an escape Can seduce a simple occasion In a moment when I hesitate Gives the way for mental evasion Yes, I'm wondering why an escape Can seduce a simple occasion In a moment when I hesitate Gives the way for mental evasion Yes, I'm wondering why an escape Can seduce a simple occasion In a moment when I hesitate Gives the way for mental evasion Yes, I'm wondering why an escape Can seduce a simple occasion In a moment when I hesitate Gives the way for mental evasion Yes, I'm wondering why an escape Can seduce a simple occasion In a moment when I hesitate (Yes, I'm wondering) Gives the way for mental evasion 07. Numb (Incipit, Climax & Coda) Music by Kingcrow Lyrics by Diego Cafolla & Mauro Gelsomini
An evil passion
Remaining hidden Until a runaway spark Begins the action A chain reaction Unleashes what lies beyond (Oh-oh, ah-ah, oh-oh) A growing cancer That slowly increases Is greedily eating inside A scary truth That's creeping hidden Sure you'd be curious to know? Drive is rising As we get closer Dark desire Behind sweetheart Longing for you I'm eager, I'm impatient Can't wait to see your smile Your silhouette again Longing for you I'm eager, I'm impatient Can't wait to see your cry Your silhouette in pain Feel my hugs, so intense and strong Cry in low voice if I hold too much Overlie your emotions now Please forgive me if I roughly act Take me as I am And let yourself go deep Longing for you I'm eager, I'm impatient Can't wait to see your cry Your silhouette in pain Drift away Feel too much While we were feeding the flesh You and I Right below the surface While we were feeding the flesh Can't hear the sound Won't see the scars Your pillow softens all the blows Can't hear the sound Won't feel the tears As they are drawn on our sheets Can't hear the sound Won't see the scars Your pillow softens all the blows Can't hear the sound Won't feel the tears As they are drawn on our sheets Can't hear the sound 08. Washing Out Memories Music by Kingcrow Lyrics by Diego Cafolla & Mauro Gelsomini
Resting on my laurels
One more time of calmness and I'll wake Second thoughts keep waiting Now my will is called to prevail Take up all my duties Put aside a while by your fancy I can't skirt them again This should be the end of the game Something's claiming wildly its right of way Thanks for all the days and nights Your vanilla kisses still rolling Cover mind and spirit Hiding the outer side as a cream Washing out the memories To forgive your face and your taste I know it can be painful So I'll make-believe I don't care Just another mark into my brain Though it's not time to turn the page Love can burn, burn, burn Till the heart Is not too tired to keep it safe Maybe I'll cry, cry, cry Washing out memories Though it's not time to turn the page Love can burn, burn, burn Till the heart Is not too tired to keep it safe Maybe I'll cry, cry, cry Till the heart Is not too tired to keep it safe Maybe I'll cry, cry, cry Washing out memories 09. A New Life Music by Kingcrow Lyrics by Ivan Nastasi
The sun is rising up today
I can see it through the leaden sky I can feel a warm embrace That fills my aching soul Now life is calling you Listen to these magic sounds I'm no longer alone I'll never be afraid again You're coming to life My love will soon fill your heart Holding you in my arms Waiting for your cry My whole life is you Oh-oh-oh 10. Lovocaine Music by Kingcrow Lyrics by Diego Cafolla
A growing understanding
Summers fade into the darkest fall My brief thoughtless youth Slowly walked off Like the Cotard's syndrome Beauty of life spilled out of me After all those years So faithful to you A growing understanding Summers fade into the darkest fall My brief thoughtless youth Slowly walked off, no more regrets I'm drowning in this pain How did this happen? I mean, life seems to be so wrong Which is the meaning When you feel all hope is gone? (Hope is gone) How did this happen? You turned your gaze away from me That howling silence That still echoes in my head (Echoes in my head) Falling behind the events' horizon Of the black hole that replaced my painful heart There is no way to retrace my footsteps I feel so empty inside, anesthetized Falling behind the events' horizon Of the black hole that replaced my painful heart There is no way to retrace my footsteps I feel so empty inside, anesthetized A growing understanding Summers fade into the darkest fall My brief thoughtless youth Slowly walked off, no more regrets 11. Fading Out Pt. III Music by Kingcrow Lyrics by Diego Cafolla
I remember
That winter was so cold Holding my breath while I was walking down the stairs Oh, that was so strange His hands were moving Under her young teen clothes I could feel the smell Of true profanity Oh, that was so insane (Scars on me) Out of the understanding One soul in misery Her eyes aglow with tear drops The face of fear itself (Scars) (Screams) (My world turned gray) (Used) (A big mistake) (Pain) (Never again) (Lust) (Will be his grave) He has sold her dreams for his desire But desire has turned his own life to rust Withered heart and cold, tormented eyes Is this the love that should make us more thick? He has sold her dreams for his desire (He was always) But desire has turned his own life to rust (Much less human) Withered heart and cold, tormented eyes (Than we wished for) Is this the love that should make us more thick? (He will be no more) 12. Phlegethon Music by Kingcrow Lyrics by Diego Cafolla & Mauro Gelsomini
"Ah, again, a fall
For the one who betrays My dear Ah" Praying and mourning The story is not going to change The grand final The floodlights have risen again (Again) Soaring in silence Floating in fire Soaring in silence Floating in fire (Oh) Now go back and think of All our days of joy Smiles that were to leave to a silent fall Bringing again to surface What you did forget What caused all your nightly dreams to fail And my hands desired To hush up the boasts Of who cherished as he said: "A shameful teaching I am charged to correct, father" Alone There he stands Eyes cast down On the water She lays Full of grace On those waves Eyes wide open Alone There he stands Eyes cast down On the water She lays Full of grace On those waves Eyes wide open Seems like yesterday (Alone) (There he stands) (Eyes cast down) (On the water) (She lays) (Full of grace) Us and them (On those waves) (Eyes wide open) But life draws our paths (Alone) (There he stands) (Eyes cast down) (On the water) (She lays) (Full of grace) Some we would not choose (On those waves) (Eyes wide open) Blind and greedy Oh, wrath made me insane Spurs me onward In my endless pain Some emotions Can be deeply scary But we cannot Shut them up, that voice If I can't be The one who possess No one else will Ever be with her Alone There he stands Eyes cast down On the water She lays Full of grace On those waves Eyes wide open Alone There he stands Eyes cast down On the water She lays Full of grace On those waves Eyes wide open Seems like yesterday (Alone) (There he stands) (Eyes cast down) (On the water) (She lays) (Full of grace) Us and them (On those waves) (Eyes wide open) But life draws our paths (Alone) (There he stands) (Eyes cast down) (On the water) (She lays) (Full of grace) Some we would not choose (On those waves) (Eyes wide open) Soaring in silence Floating in fire Soaring in silence Floating in fire Soaring in silence Floating in fire Soaring in silence Floating in fire Soaring in silence Floating in fire |
