01. CITY LONG LOST
the world is sick
the world is lost
the man needs no one
by his side
I came to this city slipping, out of fear and awe
with a choking soul that grieved, the death of all vows
and now dazed with the monarch, exiled to the Jungle
are we the faces of Kollwitz stacked in a loud hush?
We'll never bargain with the rogue, they are out of their minds
But the deep gloom thickens all around, the city is long lost.
Hidden in my tower of Babil, as their fangs devoured
hopes and years just withered, now the future is dark
all that was poor and genuine now spoiled and double priced
that great feeling of release and healing doesn't fit the new cult
We'll never bargain with the rogue, they are out of their minds
Was I daydreaming or absorbed when you were by my side?
And I swear you were a panther, black like the blackest of the nights
and then suddenly a goddess, blonde like a crop field in the sun
Please don't stop dancing, our fate is a warm embracing dance away
Vile eyes watch in the dark over you, so they can lay their hands on me.
Do not let them lead you astray, trust me they don't feel safe upstairs
because up the stairs there is no way out,
yeah, up the stairs there is no way out from me.
We'll never bargain with the rogue and settle somewhere safe
I don't feel worthless anymore with you by my side.
The world is far
The world is wide
The man needs someone by his side

02. 23.03 (Panic to the people)
March twenty third. I'm soon airborne to Milan one day after Brussels, nothing can go wrong.
All bins are closed, the cabin crew performs the safety demo dance, we're ready to take off.
Dear passengers, I'm sorry there's an inconvenience.
We are forced to leave the runaway and head back to the parking lot,
some of you don't feel safe enough, we got to give them the chance to get their bags and leave.
Some Muslim weirdo took a photo of his bag and shared it in an Arab chat.
Hey wait! Let's check his bag again!
No way! Why don't we check yours?
The captain tries to keep everyone on the rational side,
but the panic is off leash and now more people want to get off the plane and stay in Berlin
Let's read his phone! Does anyone speak Arabic in here?
The police makes a background check of the guy and when the sun is setting we take off
Hell no! what if he is going to pee?
Oh God! I think we're gonna die.
About halfway through the flight I reach the toilet in the back,
everyone is calm but the Syrian guy,
headphones on his head and all around suspicious eyes.
He was just a normal guy like me
A student flying south to see a friend
That's what I fear the most, another buildup we don't anticipate.
A few turds poison the air we all breathe in,
then breathe out and you've got a role in this shit
How come we're there again?
A peaceful stranger is a terrorist threat
and the same liars pushing for more surveillance
sign deals to sell more bombs and more death
Give back your freedoms
Distrust your neighbor
Follow your leaders
They'll save your future.

Glimpse Of A Man

03 - GLIMPSE OF A MAN
To my elusive dream within the hypogeum
with pipes in long warm ducts and spheres.
A sprawl of silent looks with harmonious steps and thuds,
they climb a steep spiral upwards
And towards a weakening light, as time defrauds.
Dull hopes thriving on a mirage and life wears out.
No Virgil in this dream, the muses won't respond
to guide him through the crypt onwards.
And those brave plans made at night conceived to change his fate,
they're chandeliers of ice, they melt at daylight.
Basking in the illusion of time, he's the glimpse of what will fade like a cloud.
And looking for the reasons of life may have got him just a little too far
Far from risking to recognize his own disguise brought to light.
And there he lingers as they march, spheres against pipes, eyes forlorn.
What if he's got nothing to say? What if he belongs down here?
“No, you will not escape us and will not be different, but will remain such as you have been:
full of doubts; full of dissatisfaction with yourself, and of vain attempts at improvement
followed by failures, and continual hopes of the happiness
which has escaped you and is impossible for you.”

04 – SAILING TO NOLOI
From the high white cliffs of Capo Noloi
I will watch the waves crash into my past
with faithful Mortimer right there by my side
a safe impervious shelter for an old man
May the ancient walls protect us again
against the rampant nonsense leading the way,
in a world where life is a series of shots
celebrating unrepeatable lies
Back to my lodge on the trail of moonflowers
with more books to read than days left to live
our memory is a cherished watchtower
and our misery is the keeper of truth
Down the forest path until the witch tower
I'll spend hours contemplating the sky
everyday the sunset is showing a face
of what is past, or passing, or yet to come.

05 – TARAB OF INDEPENDENCE
1982, Max said his father had a bazooka
I said Bullshit! Let´s go see it, he said we can go tomorrow
No! we go today. So we escaped from kindergarten.
Almost reached the corner, then Max stepped on a needle.
The little school princess called the guards
2016 and I still believe Max faked the injury,
though we brought him back and then faced judgement in a trial.
They said we should plead guilty, express regret in front of everyone
“Fuck! the gate was open and I had to prove Max is a liar”
But the little school princess called the guards
like that time we climbed a tree to the roof of the school
and I saw my world from a different and higher perspective
1901, said our dearest Mary Gorman Gray
Raymond, my boy, never do what everybody does
and she could recite Shakespeare all day long like it's a Gospel
Be yourself, neither beg nor fear their favors nor their hate
Always the common, always the vulgar and ordinary we shall despise
the sound of silence their brain is making, a desolate shell, is all they've got
To worship custom is to destroy oneself
while independence will save this world
Always the common, always the vulgar and ordinary we shall despise
The sound of silence their brain is making is desolating, it's all they've got
I'm not superior, but I've got superior ideas, that the value of a man is in what he can make with his very hands
In this rotten world where all men emulate and repeat, you will make everything that you need for yourself
and attempt to need nothing else.
Always the common, always the vulgar and ordinary we shall despise
The sound of silence their brain is making is desolating, it's all they've got.

07 – ANNA AGAINST MIMNERMUS
I drink to our house in ruins, to my cursed life
to our loneliness together and to you, I raise my glass
to the deception of lips that betrayed and the dead frost of our eyes
to a world wretched and coarse and to a god who couldn't save us.
What we're taught is love will take you by storm when you grow up, until the day you die.
No one warns, men crave what they don't have
Another charm, a new smell, a body fills the lack of self-esteem
a glamour out of time with roaring clouds, you're the storm itself.
This love is a ghost, our vows run on a blade
they were cursed, bound to be broken, they were promised to be vain
And then i will again deny you're my most precious thing
it's the prophecy of Mimnermus we're impalpable against.
Leave us alone
We'll fall apart
But what life would there be, what joy, without golden Aphrodite?
And may I die when I be no more concerned with furtive love and all the suasive gifts of youth
Forsake what she is worth, a light you can't perceive.
She will choke, so will your brightest future.

08 – THE LAST SONG WE EVER WROTE
A group of young friends in a bar, they laugh and talk and talk and laugh
what makes them feel so happy then? Sometimes I can't understand
if everyone is so cool, don't you feel like a visitor from the Moon?
An old toy dismantled, just thrown away, to make room for more
Sure the ravens go in ranks, an eagle flies but on his own
but woe to him who is alone, for when he falls, he has no one to help him up.
And ain't life misterious?
A stupid cocky world where the bright are full of doubts
So I'm waiting for a good idea, but she doesn't know where I am
and I do have a couple of questions indeed.
Like when do we really start to loathe our friends?
Friends will kill us
Or why do we burn down the banks, when we should burn the bankers alive?
Banks will kill us
And why wasn't there yet a serial killer for members of cover bands?
Clones will kill us
We don't know what there is on the other side of life, but what's on this side of death?
Life will kill us
White crests of snow you learn to climb, then you're too old to reach up high
and there your friends, the good old days when you were close
they need to shrink to free up space for the new fueds over old flaws
When did it start that bitter taste we now abhor?
Perhaps some words we could have skipped, or was it just us getting old?
The die is cast, we'll never know
It's time to walk away when it's too late
but how hard is to forgo what once was so dear
I've seen the fate that future holds for friends and foes
an empty field where freedom grows for me and you.
I've seen the fate that future holds for friends and foes
an empty field where freedom grows for me and you.
I've seen the fate that future holds for me and you
an empty field where freedom grows for friends and foes
I've seen our fate.
