1. THE GREAT INSOMNIA

In you all my hopes I've placed
I thought that I could trust
Now I'm here, in this cold sea of shame
Castaway for the rest of my life

My mind burns due to the anger
Cause I think of what I could have done
And so I started to wander
Looking for my holy grail

I don't know where my imagination ends and the reality starts
I can't see anymore the colors of today life,
I don't think it's fault of my eyes

You know what it means to be faced with a mad man?
Being in front of someone that shakes the foundations of everything
You have built in you,
And the logic of all your construction
Desperate lives forced to face an invisible illness,
Tormented by the people's judgment and by the shame of being wrong

Sometimes a thought clouds me, are the others crazy, or am I crazy?
I don't know what I'm becoming, I have reached the point of no return
But however I don't think that I pose a danger yet

I don't know where my imagination ends and the reality starts
I can't see anymore the colors of today life,
I don't think it's fault of my eyes

I don't think it's fault of my eyes
I don't think it's fault of my eyes


2. CAGES OF DUST

Sons of dust believe in afterlife
They can't believe there's nothing after death
Men can't accept the very concept of nothingness
So they feel like caged animals

Every man has an inner need to believe in immortality,
And for this since the dawn of time
He's falling beetwen the nails of illusion
Every man has the inner need to hang on to immortality
Not to fall into despair and to deal with the fear of the unknown

How can they believe in the existence of light or other deceits
When every day thousands of vultures wait for our blood and flesh to feast

Lonely in our minds our thoughts wander
Without finding the sanctuary of illusions
But they found the dark throne of the god of pain

Every man has an inner need to believe in immortality,
And for this since the dawn of time he's falling into the clutches of the priests
Every man has the inner need to hang on to immortality
not to fall into despair and to deal with the fear of the unknown

Every man has an inner need to believe in immortality,
And for this since the dawn of time he's falling beetwen the nails of illusion
Every man has the inner need to hang on to immortality
Not to fall into despair and to deal with the fear of the unknown


3. SO PRECIOUS

I only have dark memories
And I have never seen my face
When my parents discovered my impairment
They fell a prey of distress
I'm not my limitations,
But someone thinks I am

What color may the hair I'm stroking be?
The only color I know is darkness

In a world only made of sounds
An image can become everything for you
So precious, to be valued more than gold

Since I was only a child, I have spent my life to understand the world
Through my hands that were my only resources
In the darkness of my life at that time appeared a faint ray of light
Shown by the woman who would become my wife

I could feel her pain as she tried to disguise her voice,
Not to make me feel that she was suffering,
But when you grow up this way,
The first thing that you learn to feel is the sound of sorrow
Yes, It's just the sound of sorrow

I dream a world of light
Where I can play
I dream a world of light
Where I can fly
I dream a world of light
Where I can fly
I dream a world of light
Where I can play

Tell me, tell me the reason, why?
Tell me, tell me why I denied the chance to see the one I love

I could feel her pain as she tried to disguise her voice,
Not to make me feel that she was suffering,
But when you grow up this way,
The first thing that you learn to feel is the sound of sorrow
Yes, It's just the sound of sorrow

I dream a world of light
Where I can play
I dream a world of light
Where I can fly
I dream a world of light
Where I can fly
I dream a world of light
Where I can play


4. NEW LIFE

Sometimes I feel afraid for my future
I've tried and tried to change my condition
All I have done has been in vain

I've put down all my pain in an old boot
And I have done the same with my own roots
You can't believe how it was complicated

To put away the pains of an uncertain life
And to choose my new life

When I tried to go for the first time
A feel of distress wrapped me
But I knew that was the right way

I think there is more to learn for me
Cause everything we do bring us close to our dreams

I've put down my rage in an old boot
With my pains, with all my faults, with my blames
Without never looking back
With my fears, with all my hopes, with my tears
Without afterthoughts

With my pains, with all my faults, with my blames
Without never looking back
With my fears, with all my hopes, with my tears
Without afterthoughts

Cause I knew that was the right way
I think there is more than that for me
Cause everything we do bring us close to our dreams


5. NAIVETY AND OBLIVION

Life is all that's happening while we speak of something else.
In order not to think of fate my mind must be engaged with a great desire,
It must have a dominant thought every time I go to sleep
And a dominant thought every time I wake up and I start a new day

Whenever I can not keep my mind busy or distracted
I find myself surrounded by the solitude of sad thoughts

I know my heart is true, but my mind is much more
And if after death there is nothing more than emptiness
Everything was useless.

That is why I no longer want to think about me and you,
I envy the sweet seed of naivety that lives in you
Or even better the sweet peace that lurks behind your unawareness

I know my heart is true, but my mind is much more
And if after death there is nothing more than emptiness
All I have done in this life was useless
So this shitty life is just a sad legerdemain

That is why I no longer want to think about me and you,
I envy the sweet seed of naivety that lives in you
Or even better the sweet peace that lurks behind your unawareness


6. OUTSIDE THE MAZE

I flee from a maze
From its endless ways and corridors
I flee from a maze
To places never seen before
I follow you
My new guide in this second life
I follow you
To a dyed purple sky

To escape from my lot
Through the ocean of the souls
Now I'm leaving your guide
Only for the wish to feel like a god

And I fly away,
Inborn desire to reach the sky
And I fly away,
The longed dream of humankind
And I fly away
Common dream of every child
And I fly away
This heart of mine leads me higher

This devouring sunshine, melts the wax, my only way to take my wings
While my lips are calling out my father, I'm disappearing into the sea

My unhappy vision, now no longer a father,
He cries to exhaustion, Icarus where are you?

I've fled from a maze
From its endless ways and corridors
I've followed you
To a dyed purple sky

To escape from my lot
Through the desert of the souls
Now I'm leaving your guide only for the wish to feel like a god

And I fly away,
Inborn desire to reach the sky
And I fly away,
The longed dream of humankind
And I fly away
Common dream of every child
And I fly away
This heart of mine leads me higher


7. A PICTURE

The pain for the death of a loved one
Is perhaps the worst experience we have to face.
It penetrates deep into our body and can change even our being.
I don't know the way to overcome those moments
I think only that each one lives them differently.
Somewhere I have lost my heart,
Sometimes I have placed the roses on your grave,
None of them will take us back to when we fell in love

Sometimes I have cried for you
Without you I have changed.
All that I want is just to get lost in your eyes
All that I want is before my eyes
For a long time searching for an answer
So many times I lost my head

You know I want...

But all I have is just a picture,
The memory of what you were
Tabernacle of my pain
Until the end of my days

But all I have is just a picture,
The memory of what you were
And now it's only an illusion
The sanctuary of my pain

All that I want is just to get lost in your eyes
All that I want is before my eyes
All that I want is just to recover lost time
All the time I could spend with you

Somewhere I have lost...
Somewhere I have lost... I have lost... Lost my hope

And all I have is just a picture,
The memory of what you were
Tabernacle of my pain
Until the end of my days

And all I have is just a picture,
The memory of what you were
And now it's only an illusion
The sanctuary of my pain

Somewhere I have lost...
Somewhere I have lost... I have lost... Lost my light


8. UNENDING LOSS

Sometimes life is sad
Because we are not allowed to go back
Sometimes the wheel of fate hangs
And a lucky soul gets a second chance

I opened my lips and eyes frozen,
My hands are weak and my legs do not hold me
I thought I was dead
Because it was my last memory
I remember the flames, I remember the bus, I remember the void
Wrapped me, immediately leaving me breathless
I remember the bus, I remember the flames, I remember I was with you

I leave my heart here
In this tomb of ice with you
It's burning me from the inside
Lonely
I walked down the street
Searching for thy soul
Time has ceased to exist

Sometimes I'm afraid
Because I don't know where I am
And how I got there
Sometimes life is sad
Because we are not allowed
To rest in peace

And I walked alone for ten years
I remember the flames, I remember the bus, I remember the void
When the dreams of our youth were destroyed by flames
I remember the bus, I remember the flames, I remember I was with you

I leave my heart here
In this tomb of ice with you
It's burning me from the inside
Lonely
I walked down the street
Searching for thy soul
Time has ceased to exist
Lonely
I leave my heart here
In this tomb of ice with you
It's burning me from the inside
Lonely
I walked down the street
Searching for thy soul
Time has ceased to exist


9. PROMETHEUS

Thy godlike crime was to be kind,
To render with thy precepts less
The sum of human wretchedness,
And strengthen man with his own mind;
And after this what was thy pity's recompense?

A silent suffering, dreadful and intense;
The rock, the vulture, and the chain,
All that the proud can feel of pain,
agony they don't show

Titan! to thee the strife was given
Between the suffering and the will,
that this cannot kill you
Which for its pleasure doth create
The things it may annihilate
Refused thee even the boon to die

A silent suffering, dreadful and intense;
The rock, the vulture, and the chain,
All that the proud can feel of pain,
agony they don't show
nor he will sigh
Until its voice
Until its echoless


10. FADED

Another life has faded in nothingness
I couldn't do anything to prevent it
You have made your choice in selfishness
Another light has been extinguished

I will never more taste
The nectar of yours
I won't forget your scent
How I wish
How I wish
How I wish I could go back

It's the numbness of human hypocrisy
That leads us to the wrong way
Another light has faded in nothing
The biggest limitation of humankind
Is the desire to have more and more
Another life lost into nothingness

I walked alone, reflecting on how difficult it is to survive in this world.
Losing you, has opened my eyes,
Now I know how lucky I am to be still here
Each one of us is master of his destiny
Free will is the key

And so I know I won't forget the rain that fell the night when I met you
And so I know that living my life in pain certainly won't bring you back

By its nature, man wants to have more and more,
And blinded by this desire he doesn't often realize how much wealth he already has around him
And so he chooses to make extreme gestures
The wise man appreciates luck, but he does not remain obsessed by it

And so I know I won't forget the rain that fell the night when I met you
And so I know that living my life in pain certainly won't bring you
...certainly won't bring you back
...won't bring you back alive
