1. INTRO

(instrumental)


2. STRONGER THAN YOU

You got me weaker and weaker forcing on my fears

But your brainwash is over now, I stand my ground

So many times, I tried hard
you keep on saying that it's too much for me
you'd better stop chasing after dreams
These are the very last lies I can bear, from you

You have power over your mind - not outside events.
Realize this, and you will find strength (Marco Aurelio)

Stop holding me back, it's enough
don't you feel sorry for what you've done to me
so many chances that I have lost
I will defeat your duplicity once and for all

I'll become what I want to be
I'll become what I choose to be

Now there is nothing that I can't do
My will is stronger than your hypocrisy
Spit out your poison, I'm here for you
Can you feel me? Because I'm here calling you out


3. RELEASE YOURSELF

Who will ease your pain?

Who will take your blame?
You've lost your way

Who could be your guide?
Who could win your fight?
Are you scared of the ride?

If you don't break these chains of sorrow
Nothing's gonna free your soul
But nothing comes easy, you know

Release yourself and raise your head
Only storm clouds on your way
Don't be afraid and go through
They will dissolve as you pass by
And you will find out who you are

You, bound to your past
You, lost in this haze
And you wonder: will it end?

If you stop to feed the fire in your soul
Only ashes will remain
Wake up!
A lot more should be done

Release yourself and raise your head
Only storm clouds on your way
Don't be afraid and go through
They will dissolve as you pass by
And you will find out who you are.

Now you've faced yourself
Now you've understood
Remember there are things we cannot see and we'll never explain
Things beyond our control can take us high or just drag us to hell

Release yourself and raise your head
No more storm clouds on your way
You have been brave and went through
They have melted as you passed by
And now you see all the colours of life
No more suffering, no more haze
Your past doesn't scare you anymore
‘cause you've finally understood
And you've found out who you are.


4. RISE

Battle's over
Thunder, lightning, or rain
Foul is fair

And I have learned
The merciless won't stop
Its malice
Deeply seated within
Every man

But I don't want
No I won't
Surrender to this path of daggers

Rise above the line
Let us try again and find ourselves
Fly through the sky
Let us crawl within
And start it all again.

Winged old demon
How you dare
To compare
Life and death?

And after all
The ancient warriors lost
The roots of heavens gone
And this cold nightmare

Rise above the line
Let us fly again and find ourselves
Fly through the sky
Let us float within
And reach the stars.

Rise above the line
Let us try again and find ourselves
Fly through the sky
Let us crawl within
And start it all again.


5. JUST OLD MEMORIES

Does anyone believe in the bright time we used to live?

Does anyone believe it could happen again?
Does anyone believe (that) our intentions were so pure?

No one can explain how we could let it fall

and I won't follow you and fill my head with hatred,
I'm not going to become a mindless pawn of your pathetic game

Does anyone believe in the bright time we used to live?
(the showdown is over)
Does anyone believe it could happen again?

Nothing can erase the old memories, how it was

Does anyone believe in the bright time we used to live?
(When the shine was all over).
Does anyone believe it could happen again?


6. IDOLS

Oh those idols
They're coming out when you feel down
Happy diablos
They're having fun to push you down-further
Rock those devils (they) enjoy to watch you wander in despair
And when you're dancing
You shake it off and clean that flame again
I won't leave you alone
No I won't leave you alone
It's all in your Anti-clockwise mantra
A production of your mind
A movie soundtrack
That keeps repeating to yourself "this is wrong"
This is so wrong
Hungry idols
They love you to be sad again
Those sweet diablos
Will wipe your tears and push the knife-deeper
I won't leave you alone
Hey I won't leave you alone
It's all in your Anti-clockwise mantra
A production of your mind
A movie soundtrack
That keeps repeating to yourself "this is not right I don't want to die again"
No, not again!


7. #34

Wheeling, reeling round and round,
Like a spiral turns with no direction
It's hard to explain how it could make you crawl
Just an endless addiction and no guiding lights

Waiting here in the meanwhile, and it all seems so wrong
Your sight is tainted by deceiving trails - where to drown?

Floating upwards, trying to get you, uncaging yourself in a bluer light
Can it lead you where you don't know, can it bloom with you?

Striving, seeking again and again,
No time to rest, there's a brand new intention
And the will to make it right

Wide awake in the meanwhile, when it all falls apart.
Got to pick up the threads and start again with new eyes

Floating upwards, trying to get you, uncaging yourself in a bluer light
Can it lead you where you don't know (you don't know)
Can it lead you, and touch you, scent of a sky with sparks at night
Can it lead you and touch you, can it bloom with you?


8. TWO WORLDS APART (FT. CHIARA TRICARICO)

You live in water, my mermaid
Swimming in the abyss of my true longing

A dream, it's how it now feels
A dream, make it real

I live in what melts the steel
Here wondering how it would be to unite

A dream, it's how it now feels
A dream, make it real

Now your voice has entered my heart
Washed away my fears I am well armed
Nothing now can tell me I'm wrong
And I, I won't surrender until I find
Some place inside, just a shared heaven for you and I


9. DIVA GET OUT

Tartan skirts and leather corsets.
Lullabies
Tell me you're leaving I can't take it, believe me
Your alibis
Robotic kisses thoughts in circles.
Sugar lies
Tell me you're leaving I won't stop you, believe me
Say bye-bye

Grand finale the door is open: closing time

Ah diva get out
Diva get off your own way
Diva get out
Pick up your lipstick I just think that you're real sick.
Deep inside
Clap-clap on your mission of blood and omissions.
You're working hard.
And please don't consider coming back for more either
Like ever again

All these memories are stains on my skin
They burn and make me say that one day i'll be stronger

Ah diva get out
Diva get off your own way
Diva get out
Ah diva get out
Diva burn your wings your own way
Diva get out


10. GIFT OR CURSE?

Man's oldest dream, to never die
Live through centuries, and more
He has this gift, frozen in time
Is this a gift or a curse?

He will never grow old
He will never feel sick again
Is it worth if you are alone?

Arrogance and bitterness
His stone heart empty and cold
Brought him to his everlasting curse

Held in this cage
His own despair
He could not bear
The weight of his dare
Held in this cage
His own despair
He wishes to change
He wishes his death

An abyss too deep to escape
A golden prison filled with remorse
Bars made of his own loneliness

Held in this cage
His own despair
He could not bear
The weight of his dare
Held in this cage
His own despair
He wishes to change
He wishes his death

Man's oldest dream, to never die
Live through centuries, the glory
But if he's left alone
Is this a gift or a curse?


11. REDEMPTION

The black waves of the night
Fade out in blue
The dawn will make it bright
With glowing views
This sadness in my heart
Drops of tears and dew
Flowing down below
I've lost my treasure dear
I was so blind
Surrendering to fear
My biggest crime

And now I'm so alone
There's no hope in here
Don't know where I belong

The joy that once set me free
From my old pain
Has gone away from me
Down with this rain
The emptiness' embrace
From a place insane
In darkness now I belong
I'll walk this path, the long, hard way
Striving for my redemption
And i'll be strong and play my fate
And i'll ride this storm through the cold, calm maze
Thinking of you forever
And i'll win my fate and i'll find you there
(forever mine)
This spark that heats me up
It burns with grace
Have settled in my heart
Seeds of hope and faith
In love is where I belong.


12. CROSSROADS TO NOWHERE

Riding through fields you've never been into
And throw your chains behind you
Evident signs get aligned to remind you
That something invisible willing to play
With the hidden emotions and thought
You've been keeping (in) is laughing loud
Are you frightened by your desires?
And the stars and the storm became mates of your journey
And nothing but hell to wait there behind you
And suddenly I met you on the crossroads to nowhere
And you took the other way

Chasing every sign
And running right behind you
You're never looking back on my way
Every night I watch you
Sleep tightly into the day
Can't you hear me cry?
Can't you see me there?
Thunders and lightnings are dancing behind us
You open your eyes with a glimpse of unconscious.
And notice. Maybe?

Chasing every sign
And running right behind you
You're never looking back on my way
Every night I watch you sleep tightly into the day
Can't you hear me cry?
Can't you see me there?
Riding through fields you've never been into
And everything I wanted is here before me
Evident signs are aligned to remind me
You're all I'll ever need


13. METAMORPHOSIS

Soft and thin, the skin peels off like paper shells, dusk and dawn.
Feelings rouse a new shape few can bear to stare

To change your matter into a new self,
From true flaws to radiant forms

Heir of a still generation of apes,
Going through metamorphosis

Smooth and clear, a new being carved out of pain, growing brave
Shaking twitches, the final stage is about to begin

To change your matter into a new self,
From true flaws to radiant forms

Heir of a still generation of apes,
Going through metamorphosis

Scars wear a new disguise,
All the world vibrates
Of the energy of life.
