Ravenscry - One Way Out lyrics



Tracks



01. Calliope

Emotions take shape
(Of poetry)
Conquer bright hues
(And freedom)
Mind reveals a taste
(Like that one of)
A cherry splitting
(Inside your mouth)
So pouring
(Its sweet soul)
Now your singing comes head
(Mysterious)
Among the foliages of this nocturnal wood
(Mysterious)

As you rose and heard the noise of life
You loved who glorified it
In a fight, you knew, with no end

Then nine sisters
The most wise and noble
You slip into the mind
Of those who can listen
And maybe tell of deeds
That sound among this swarming

You sang so the worth wouldn't melt
Like foam into the sea
But gave light to the new men's way

Hardly you sing, all imposing
Shadows stand out of past and future heroes
Ever alive, across the time and the space

02. Elements Dance

Relentless water flows
Along a deep declivity
Carrying away with her
Traces of the past

As a sweet mother Earth
Instinctively embraces her sons
For the last precious time
Before setting out

Light my eyes
I want to see the world moving without me
Light my eyes
And let me enjoy this wonder
Let me see

Set my heart on fire
While the forest shouts and cries
Like a sublime show
Makes you cry

Under the silent sky
Air wings bear a deep low voice
To tell a fairytale
To lull the clouds

Light my eyes
I want to see the world moving without me
Light my eyes
And let me enjoy this wonder
Let me see

So I think, I realize and I'm lost in this image
Because it's happening
I can finally see
Fire flames, water waves
They are painting this reality like now I want
I really want

Set my heart on fire
While the forest shouts and cries
Like a sublime show
Makes you cry

Light my eyes
I want to see the world moving without me
Light my eyes
And let me enjoy this wonder
Let me see

So I think, I realize and I'm lost in this image
Because it's happening
I can finally see
Fire flames, water waves
They are painting this reality like now I want
I really want

I want to see the world moving without me

03. Nobody

Nobody is your name
Swept by people
By the frenzy of their own routine
Nobody is your name
Always dressed in grey
In a city without sun

Nobody is your name
Sounds but doesn't echo
In a deserted valley, in the world
Nobody is your name
You can't conquer a place
In heaven nor in this life

You're nobody and you're not free
To sacrifice yourself
To hope, to escape
You're nobody and you'll live
At the foot of an acropolis
Where shines the plates
Whose descends from gods
You're nobody and you'll be alone
Till your future won't be written
Cause you smell of stranger
In your own land

Nobody is your name
In an eternal search
Of a meaning that will fade soon
Nobody is your name
And you'll always live
To wait and not to attain

In a weird slavery
With a book in the hands
And a lot of ideas inside your head
That you can shout in the wind
But you're nobody
And nobody will hear you

You're nobody and you're not free
To sacrifice yourself
To hope, to escape
You're nobody and you'll live
At the foot of an acropolis
Where shines the plates
Whose descends from gods
You're nobody and you'll be alone
Till your future won't be written
Cause you smell of stranger
In your own land

04. A Starless Night

My starless night
I'm here looking for a ground
No forgiveness, no pity for myself
What I see in a mirror dismays

My starless life I write
To release my memories
Jailed in a dark and neverending doubt
They ask me to repeat that old scene

When I needed to run away
From a closed reality
When my spirit was feeded by you
But where you were never here

My prayer is so confused
And a storm is now tormenting my mind
Some tired voices' choir she's hearing
Singing that I could lose far from you

When I needed to run away
From a closed reality
When my spirit was feeded by you
But where you were never here

Let's cry the end of a life
Let's smile, it's a new start
It's a new start

Some tired voices' choir she's hearing
Singing that I could lose far from you

When I needed to run away
From a closed reality
When my spirit was feeded by you
But where you were never here

05. Redemption I - Rainy

I'll wander all alone
Until the rain will try
To purify my made up face
It happens sometimes
When the ocean brings
The forsaken past wastes
I've tried to disperse
When I hear from you
When I hear about your research
I feel myself powerless
So I need a reason
I need a way to forget my blame
Burning on a mother skin

You, my reflected image
Never more appeared
Now far away you are, so far

Now I wait for the time
Taking your roots like a little tree
You will stop thinking
About the fear love induces

When I hear from you
When I hear about your research
I feel myself powerless

In my hands the warmth of yours
Vanished by now
And maybe I see
In your flight my redemption

You, my reflected image
Never more appeared
Now far away you are, so far

06. Redemption II - Reflection

Instrumental

07. Redemption III - Far Away

Time to go and build who I am
Time to discover what there is
Over the child's prison
And its boring mistakes

I don't want to be your failed revenge
The person you wished to be
But you are not again
That badly done drawing of your mind

Ours are just two different courses
And each one done in different times
In my flight I find your redemption
But our strong knot will never untie

Wander all alone until the rain
will try to purify my mind
I'll throw away my good white lies
in a deep quiet sea
Giving things the worth these need
With no expectations but only will
The way won't seem so hard
And maybe I'll understand you

Ours are just two different courses
And each one done in different times
In my flight I find your redemption
But our strong knot will never untie

Life is not a plan, but a story to write
Experimenting, fighting, learning by yourself
Towards an aim and got rid of a perfection's obsession
You can invent it, walking on a mid-air suspended thread

Time to see what this life has to show
Over the fears you built for me
For too much love

Ours are just two different courses
And each one done in different times
In my flight I find your redemption
But our strong knot will never untie

In my flight I find your redemption
But our strong knot will never untie

08. Embrace

It's hard to find the will to live
Cause the dark is embracing me
It's hard to go away from here
I wish I could disappear

To find a new beginning
And rise together once again

Like a wounded butterfly I have tried to fly
Like a fire in a bottle I have tried to burn
Like a wounded butterfly I am falling down
Like a tear that falls from my eyes I will disappear

There is no future without past
And no life without regrets
Please tell me what I have to do
To bring the inner strength

Let me alone with destiny
Try to run away from me
Is this truth or fantasy
That confuses my memory

Embrace me now and ever
And rise together once again

Like a wounded butterfly I have tried to fly
Like a fire in a bottle I have tried to burn
Like a wounded butterfly I am falling down
Like a tear that falls from my eyes I will disappear

09. Journey

Goodbye, useless thoughts
Finding you on my road I got better
Too late to come back
In this journey with no stops, I know

I'm tired to look ahead
Thinking of the future
I'm tired to toe the line
Can I live now?

Bye September
And with you all my reservations
Show me the way
Of loving without suffering

Finding you on my road I feel better
Someday I'll wake up
Looking at this strange world
From your eyes

I'm tired to look ahead
Thinking of the future
I'm tired to toe the line
Can I live now?

Darling, in your smile
I suddenly see my freedom
Going against the stream
Both always in the same direction

So ask me if I'm happy, happy, happy

I'm tired to look ahead
Thinking of the future
I'm tired to toe the line
Can I live now?

10. Back To The Hell

Running out of my four walls
A cruel intention is infecting my mind again
As a snake in the mud it digs
Leaving back only emptiness

Someone said to me
"At times good comes from evil"
But how it could?
I'm coming back to the hell
You found me licking
And so soothing my wounds

In my head grows a jungle
Noisy and hungry beings share out my reason
Among the crumbs holds out enough dignity
To let me wish a drastic alternative

Someone said to me
"At times good comes from evil"
But how it could?
I'm coming back to the hell
You found me licking
And so soothing my wounds

Oh God, is my mind bewitched?
I have to follow this voice
Oh God, what is this deafening noise?
I feel myself lighter now

Someone said to me
"At times good comes from evil"
You know it's true
I'm coming back to the hell
You found me
Sweeter than a life without you

Someone said to me
"At times good comes from evil"
But how it could?
I'm coming back to the hell
You found me licking
And so soothing my wounds

11. This Funny Dangerous Game

What a fantastic race
And what an unexpected prize!
I could nearly cry
But don't be worried, guy
I'm already ready to begin
Again this funny game

Am I losing control
Or was it just that drink more?
I don't know why this game is going
To be so dangerous
But could I have it any more?
A thing only you have to know
I'm afraid of love, afraid of love
What about you?

Am I losing control
Or was it just that drink more?
What your eyes tell
That my heart has never heard before?
But could I have it any more?
A thing only you have to know
I'm afraid of love, afraid of love
What about you?

12. My Bitter Tale

It's the start of
A hard way to myself
I'm here in a rough sea
An unknown and severe sea

Where I can see land
And at least with her
I cannot see my chains
And old memories of mine

Listen I was just a child
When as an angel with burnt wings
I had to give up flying
No more hopes, no more dreams
A north wind changed into freezing summer air
Carrying away with him sea smell
I was just a child, wasn't I?

I didn't feel afraid
I didn't cry
I simply wandered for
A long and unending time

But each step I made
I was in the same place
Following a far light
The same one, forever

Listen I was just a child
When as an angel with burnt wings
I had to give up flying
No more hopes, no more dreams
A north wind changed into freezing summer air
Carrying away with him sea smell
I was just a child, wasn't I?

So listen and you'll hear what Moon told me
Now open wide your eyes
Look over around me
Only the sea is waiting
If the sky won't be my way
It will be the sea, now I know
So I lost right away my feathers
And for each one of them a regret I erased

Listen I was just a child
When as an angel with burnt wings
I had to give up flying
No more hopes, no more dreams
But a day drowning, coming to surface
Looking back for the last time
I learnt to swim
Like in a secret dream
