Tracks



01. Taken Away To The Asylum

I don't remember how it really happened -
Nor when...
But I was caught and sent to an uncommon room...
Made of chains... made of eyes... and made of... I can't say
But I could feel the harm of their aggressive, and so sad, spirits...
And the room moved on.... on....on...

The trip did not last long but I was borne to a place I did not know.
A place I had never even imagined...
Who could have?
So far from what I believed.

Not a real place so to say.
Oh... This place...

...The machinery is actuating...

A great and old building lost inside of their mind
I don't really know where, don't know why
Bleak and isolated, it is rounded by fields.
What do they cultivate? And they yield?

It looks like a prison - Is it...? Do I...? Do you...?
Let me speak.... Oh please, please... let me one word or two...

Silence seems to rule here... only far muffled knocks
Something is drawing near... Eyes and words made of rock

Corridors - Cold
Doors - Closed
A Cell - Someone
Me...

I can not run - can not see - I can't breathe anymore - I can't flee

Under a gun - made of words - I must be dreaming - Please awake me
Under a gun - made of words - A judgment of my identity

02. The Asylum Pyre

Humiliated in the public place
Condemned, imprisoned, in disgrace
(For) They can't stand the truth that I tell
Out of their sphere - they build me a cell

And you don't understand then condemn
I am a fool under ignorance reign
Before the Wall of bias, Doomed,
The shattered souls are on the move
Beware!

The Asylum Pyre
Law of My Empire
Once My Master
Now, my World's Defender!

The Asylum Pyre
Soul healing embers
The Hopeful Fire,
I wish, will Burn forever
On Asylum Pyre

And you simplify your vision
Easier Than a Revolution
Your Kingdom is a house of Cards
With soulless queens and corrupt guards

In the darkness I wait
I Wait... I hear some voices
I Wait... Growing forces
I Wait... (for)

The Asylum Pyre
Law of My Empire
Once My Master
Now, my World's Defender!

The Asylum Pyre
Soul healing embers
The Hopeful Fire,
I wish, will Burn forever
On Asylum Pyre

I have, now, taken control - over the flame
The rules of your Circus games
Lies in my hand!

Unconscious, your carefree life comes to the end.
And where you once tortured my friends
You're gonna learn!

Pyre
War Gods - Pyre!
Black Gold - Pyre!
Cult of Fame - Pyre!
With Propaganda!

Waste - Pyre!
Profits - Pyre!
Oblivion - Pyre!
With Fatalism!

Fashion - Pyre!
Sheep Flocks - Pyre!
Clichés - Pyre!
You, my Fellow Man
Lazy, selfish
And so self assured
Burn!

The Asylum Pyre
Through My Words and Through My Eyes
The Asylum Pyre
Is Spreading Out
The Asylum Pyre
If You Understand these Words
The Asylum Pyre
You're One of Us
The Asylum Pyre

The Asylum Pyre
Law of My Empire
Once My Master
Now, my World's Defender!

The Asylum Pyre
Soul healing embers
The Hopeful Fire,
I wish, will Burn forever
On Asylum Pyre

03. Laughing With The Stars

I open wide my window
It is the Night of the show
It is the Show of the Night
Better to say

I put my eyes on the infinity circle
I 'm traveling into the space
(And) into the past

He: Lady Blue, oh, where are you?
She: Million light years away
He: Stop Dreaming, Come down to earth!

It's not a dream! We are sailing
'Cross the edge of this world
We're talking 'bout Earth and Universe
And we laugh with the stars

Come with me, you will gawp
Magic will carry you off
Through the refracting scope
To Cepheus we're taking off

It's amazing
It's like I am
Mister Alice lost in?
?wonderland

Sense the sense of it
And seize the day
Embrace the universe

He: There're so many things to admire
She: And many to understand!
He: And many to understand!

It's not a dream! We are sailing
'Cross the edge of this world
We're talking 'bout Earth and Universe
And we laugh with the stars

We are getting further now
We're pushed by the solar winds
The end's getting closer now

Void around me
Void is in me

In distant skies
I can see it all
Stars in my eyes
Stars in my soul

See!

It's not a dream! We are sailing
'Cross the edge of this world
We're talking 'bout Earth and Universe
And we laugh with the stars

Talking 'bout earth and universe
I laugh?and?I?cry?

04. Coral's Riff (Now Hell)

Most ancient ecosystem on earth
Safest place to live or to give birth
Million years, it takes to grow bigger
(But) A few years to disappear

What was paradise's Now Hell!

We must prevent your destruction
(I am - the soul - of the ocean)
Rainforest of the silent place (I'm aching)
Shelter of the Rainbow nation
(Suffering - from - your indifference)
Essential for any race (I'm dying)

Source of knowledge, food and medicine
You protect the shores
But "must-have" souvenir from paradise
Suffocating as mercury rises

What was paradise's Now Hell!

We must prevent your destruction
(I am - the soul - of the ocean)
Rainforest of the silent place (I'm aching)
Shelter of the Rainbow nation
(Suffering - from - your indifference)
Essential for any race (I'm dying)

Take the time to look at it
Part of you is part of it
(It's) not a lie, do you know it?

Something under the surface
Pray for pity, for a grace
Wave at you for a caress

We must prevent your destruction
(I am - the soul - of the ocean)
Rainforest of the silent place (I'm aching)
Shelter of the Rainbow nation
(Suffering - from - your indifference)
Essential for any race (I'm dying)

Stop your crime or I'll change?
By My tide: My Revenge!

If we repent now
Will you forgive us? Our Hell.

What Was Paradise is Now Hell

(I) hope it's not too late
To save coral's fate

This is not a secret
I'm fed up with your lies!
Everybody knows - I'm dying!

They can buy the future
Can they stop the tide?
Simple words are sometimes right

Simple is not naive
Please forget your pride
Try to be a little wise?.

Can you stop the countdown?
Put off our crown?
If you look out of your towns?

Five, four, three, two, one, zero

05. Don't Waste It

She loves you?

She is so fragile
Don't Waste it!

A Place I did not know is spreading out
A new day's birth
A new blow for my lungs?

Do we deserve the lights of spring?
But this is her way - She Gives!
How can she offer all these things?
But this is the way - She Lives!

For so long she's been resisting
But she is weakening
In my heart, I can feel it!
And It Hurts!

Don't waste it!
You need it!

All: She Loves You!

She's providing the air you breathe
(The) Places that fulfill your dreams
Animals to show to your kids
In your eyes, the light that gleams

I know you have your own problems
(But) Without Her - No future
In your heart, you can feel it!
And It Hurts!

Don't waste it!
You need it!

She loves you

You help yourself as if everything was free
But you will pay it soon I'm afraid
I beg you to give up some of your habits
If we all want everything we are dead!

Not The way we should go
The Hammer hits the fingers

Don't waste it!
You need it!

The Wisdom Voice: Don't Waste it?.

06. Love Ecstasy

In all that I am
I try as I can
To be true
To put through

In all that you do
You ought to try too
Willful and Heart? Opened!

In any leaf, any real landscape
In any tune that can provide me a soul escape

Love, Love, Love Ecstasy

Help yourself my dear
Your life is just here
On a Tray
No Need to pay

Make the most of it
Heart out of the pit
You will see
Ecstasy!

In any good joke, for all your friends,
And for all the splendid bodies to kiss and caress

Love, Love, Love Ecstasy

07. Different Sides, Same Thoughts

"Heir of God
We are the one
To rule this land, their mind
Follow Me and you will meet the glory"

"Love as (the) 'One'
Love as goal
Love as a way to live
To my clan I will bring the harmony
I'll follow and I will meet the glory
Follow me and you will see?"

Oh Please, Please, Listen to me!
Till the end of the song
Listen to me? me?

For my land, my god, my King
I would give everything
And even if I have no chance
I'd die for you my beloved fence

Here is my point of view
I mistrust all what is new
And I've grown up with all these ideas
But I still believe I am me?
Angry for I was told to be!

By the words or by the steel
This token of love you will feel
And Even If It has No sense
I offer to you my last dance

I do know it in my heart and my soul
Story begun a long time ago
Why do we follow this way?

All these words echo
Over the field
But not any foe's
Ready to yield
They all fear the woe
Coming across the hill

People at my left
So numerous - So scared
People at my right
So numerous - So scared
People behind me
So numerous - So scared
People in front of me
So numerous - So scared

I can't speak - My Heart beats in my temples, And I? can hardly breathe

And the horses jump
Some people run
Oh - The weapons clash

Strange kinds of dreams
Some souls leave
Oh - The weapons clash

The Ares' song
Is deafening
Oh - The weapons clash!

Now I feel it in my heart and my soul
Story begun a long time ago
Why do we follow this way?

Anywhere I go
I can see the pain
And the sorrow
But inside my veins
Oh Lord I know?
I know this is in vain!

(I) can not believe in what I see

Seeing all these men
Hurting each other
Holding in hands
Flags and dead feathers
Don't understand
That they all are brothers

About the Nations
About Religions
Any Decision

Job, law and so on
Incomprehension
Incomprehension

Can't you feel it in your heart and your soul?
This story that is hurting you so
Will you carry on this way?

Fighting for ideas
That are not yours
Thinking what you see is
The only truth
Hiding in showbiz
And do not watch the news

Well do you understand that

This is not another story of kings and queens you've already heard of but a Timeless discord that you are part of

Everywhere - Everyday

Day and night we claim
Others are to blame
My heart's open but theirs are closed
They are losing my game

But deep inside their heads?
They think all the same?

Different Sides - Same Thoughts, It's a Nonsense
The most difficult way

And at different levels? (And ages!)
It will always lead to some kind of War....

08. Jester Of The Power

When he was younger
He heard 'bout the war
Skilful as a learner
"Science star"

Brain Chained by the brainless
(The) Brainless, (The) Soulless
Soulless and Mercyless
He is now restless

Hidden in the shadow
He's born to be a slave
His life's made of sorrow
There is no exit to his cave

He had read everything
And he knew everything
He had seen everything
And He gave everything
For They wanted everything
And even more...
And more...
And more...
'til No more...

Now He lives without his children
Deep - Deep inside the forest
He waits for the Heaven
So far from the rest

Jester of the power
A puppet handled
To create a killer,
Slay and swindle

Books may reveal his name
But not the kind of fame?
He dreamt about!
Not the fame?
He dreamt about!

Soldier in the Deceit
Because he was the best
He fought like a puppet
For fear and not against

He had read everything
And he knew everything
He had seen everything
Anyone is falling
All those faces are yelling
They yell again
Again...
Again...
And Again...

Now He lives without his children
Deep - Deep inside the forest
He waits for the Heaven
So far from the rest

Gods lead him through men decease
Everywhere sparks spread disease
He mourns: "Men have killed Men"
Feeble he says that: "History ends"

Now He lives without his children
Deep - Deep inside the forest
He waits for the Heaven
So far from the rest
?Without his children (For They died)
?the forest (Of dead trees)
?for the Heaven (He's the last)
?far from the rest (So Far)

He cries? He Cries?

09. Whispers Of The Jester

They said he's born under a lucky star
A golden one?
Born under a lucky star?
Gold-plated!
