Lyrics by Shaman Wid

I carry with me only what is mine
My mother’s love and the silent power of my name
I carry with me only what is mine
My rising voice to heaven
And the spark of mystery entrusted to me

And still I seek the hidden truths of things
To know why Time runs
To know why rivers always seek the sea
I feel that from a distant star
someone watches me with kind eyes
For love is a child who plays with the stars
Is a child who always plays alone

I entrust my voice to the winds
To send it far and further away
To cross lands and destinies
And let the storms echo my name

I carry with me only what is mine
My mother’s love and the silent power of my name
I carry with me only what is mine
My rising voice to heaven
And the spark of mystery entrusted to me

I don’t know the way and where I stand
On which bridge or ship, in sight of what land
Maybe the herons are hidden behind the clouds
Maybe plum blossoms hide beyond the mist
Maybe my fate is to float forever, suspended in time
Between sea and sky
With no land in sight, with no wings to fly
For love is a child who plays with the stars
A child who plays alone

I carry with me only what is mine
My mother’s love and the silent power of my name
I carry with me only what is mine
My rising voice to heaven
And the spark of mystery entrusted to me

Lyrics by Shaman Wid

We must free the chained Gods
And rebuild the pillars that hold the sky
To see the willows sway along the river
And run and fly together again
Maybe in silence the herons will come back, this way
Maybe one day the seasons will come back, this way
Warships sway in silence
On the useless motion of the waves
Love doesn’t live in this place
No swallows flying in the sky
So I don’t want to take any calls, right now
Maybe tomorrow, when we can meet again in the sun
Alone, I will sail across the oceans to a landing place
Alone, I will follow storms and winds to find a way
Maybe tomorrow, we’ll meet in the sun again
Far away, far away, we’ll find a way
We must free the chained Gods
And rebuild the pillars that hold the sky
To walk over these dark clouds
To restore light and find a way
To restore sources and streams
And the flowering and fading of things
Now the sun has cut its way
And no longer reaches the West
Empty, grey, dystopian skies
Even wisdom has run away
So I don’t want to take any calls, right now
Maybe tomorrow, when we can meet again in the sun
Alone, I will sail across the oceans to a landing place
Alone, I will follow storms and winds to find a way
Maybe tomorrow, we’ll meet in the sun again
Far away, far away, we’ll find a way

Lyrics by Shaman Wid

The cathedrals of the West
Are just shelters for crows
Their spires have fallen down
And no more speak to the sky
Let’s open our sails, leave the twilight behind, and head east
Where the sun raises its torch with might
To forge the hours and the days
Where time slows down and daylight lingers for age in the sky
Where time slows down, time slows down and wisdom can flow again
Now satanic orders call for war
Now the time has come and sorrow can flow again
We forged the weapons that shell the seasons and silence dreams
That rip the swarm of stars from children’s hands
Weapons that erase a mother’s burning screams
The long flight of herons on tailwinds and wandering clouds
We have erased history
Torn the sky apart
And gods don’t take calls
The gods have changed their number and don’t take calls
So we drift away, trust the wind, and sail east
We leave behind the crumbling walls of Babylon and Sodom
The steady march of dying souls, and sail east
The last children of a dying day
Now that Prometheus has let go the flame
Reaching for a glimmer on the horizon line
We sail east, We sail to find the sun again
No gold, no jade
Only the scent of jasmine and roses
No banners, no glory
Just the willows bending in the wind

We seek a hidden door, a passage, an open wound in time
To press our sails through the oceans and tides
Following stars and routes unknown to sailors, unknown to sailors
So, we leave the sunset fading, and sail east
Let’s open our sails, leave the twilight behind, and head east
Where time slows down, time slows down and wisdom can flow again
Now the time has come and sorrow can flow again
The last children of a dying day
Now that Prometheus has let go the flame
Reaching for a glimmer on the horizon line
We sail east, We sail to find the sun again

(Feat. EMILIANO PASQUINELLI)
Lyrics by Shaman Wid

Now, hordes of fools drag the black chariot of war
Raising clouds of dust, erasing the path and the horizon
We believe every man deserves a land
That treats him kindly, without blame
A firm place where he can raise his song to the sky
To summon the light of dawn, day after day
We seek a light on the horizon
To lift our heads and row again, and row again
We are just strings of pearls
And we need a loving touch
Like castaways clinging to driftwood
Chasing a light on the horizon
Like one who dares the impossible
Following dreams, following a vision
We are the ones who won’t return
The roads behind us fade away
We stand bare before the face of the Sun
As we slowly drift away
We fight and fall, through the ever-changing tides of Time
Raising our gaze towards the horizon line
Caught in the endless cycle of wars, we cope
Hanging on the unsteady wings of hope
On the wings of hope
We believe every man deserves a land
That treats him kindly, without blame
A firm place where he can raise his song to the sky
To summon the light of dawn, day after day
Like fleeting sparkles on the waves
We are nothing and we are the horizon
Like seagulls ruffled by the winds
Waiting to steal minutes from the sun
Like starlings, we draw anagrams in the sky
As the daylight fades away
We draw anagrams in the sky, as we drift away
We fight and fall and dream and build unstable vessels
To carry our restless souls across the oceans
Caught in the endless cycle of wars, we cope
Hanging on the unsteady wings of hope
On the wings of hope
We believe every man deserves a land
That treats him kindly, without blame
A firm place where he can raise his song to the sky
To summon the light of dawn, day after day

Lyrics by Shaman Wid

It’s time to call the depths of the oceans to the witness stand
It’s time to summon the relentless turn of the seasons
For humanity always fights its own demons and always loses
At the last leg humanity is always at a loss
And what can I say about myself
I, who raise unanswered questions
I am a son of a painful century
Plagued by lies and mediocrity
Forced to write words that no one reads
Sit next to me now
Let’s talk about dreams
In this way, maybe we’ll find our way home
Away from these suspended souls
Doomed to dance forever on the Titanic
I want death to find me still alive
When she decides to blow on my door
I love the storm and the waves crashing on distant shores
The hibiscus hedges, the Russian plains
And everything that flows
I cherish freedom, the visions of dreamers
And all that rises in the madness of the wind
And every time we leave and then come back
In the eternal rite of blooming and withering
Like the tidal flows, just like wars
That end and begin again, always at a loss
God of breezes and endless horizons
Guide me where the hibiscus blooms
To docks steeped in grease
Spices, hopes, and nameless loves
Away from these standing waters
Where the Titanic sinks again with its ghosts
I want death to find me still alive
When she decides to blow on my door
I love the storm and the waves crashing on distant shores
The hibiscus hedges, the Russian plains
And everything that flows
I cherish freedom, the visions of dreamers
And all that rises in the madness of the wind

Lyrics by Shaman Wid

We dragged our souls across plains and oceans
We observed the seasons changing their course and gazed far towards the horizon
Now, humanity bows in silence, and in the sky, flocks of crows take flight
The day will come when we’ll find again
The loves and dreams left behind in the wind
Beyond the ridge, maybe, we’ll discover the sun
That’s why we’re still on the road
Among the broken branches the crows take flight
While the fools are laughing again
Heroes, out of time, now drift away
Only a child stays on the field
A lone child, standing, on the field
A lone child, waiting, on the field
Now, humanity moves away to the electronic sound of chains
Like shadows on the way in the neon-lit haze
Humanity moves away to the digital sound of chains
Like shadows on the way, on the way
Forgetting that life belongs to the sun
Forgetting that life belongs to the stars
Mother, you who raise and destroy, you who give the sun
You, who lead the lost, you who light the lanterns in the sky
Like Simurgh, like the phoenix, with its wings spread in the wind
Strew the colors in the fields of the world so roses may bloom again
Mother, you came before poems and empires
Maybe you know where the stars hide
In the nooks of the ruined houses
Or among the bluebells still clinging to the walls
Under a low, grey sky, humanity is moving away
As non-living, as the undead
Only a child stays on the field
Humanity moves away to the electronic sound of chains
Like shadows on the way in the neon-lit haze
Humanity moves away to the digital sound of chains
Like shadows on the way, on the way
Mother, you who raise, destroy, you who give the sun
You, who lead the lost, you who light the lanterns in the sky
Like Simurgh, like the phoenix, with its wings spread in the wind
Strew the colors in the fields of the world so roses may bloom again

Lyrics by Shaman Wid

I do not know how we will get out of this war
Maybe as transitional beings, hybrid realities or simply machines
And maybe we won’t remember our name
Oh brother, let’s get away from this noisy crowd
There are still ships sailing to Byzantium
And caravans moving in silence
Towards Chang’An, towards Chang’an
Bad preachers come screaming from the west side
They talk about nothing to a crowd of lotus eaters
Heroes are chased away, no one can raise the sword
Oh brother, let’s get away from this declining world
Wise kings and warriors lift up new empires
To heaven, to heaven, to heaven

Rivers still flow along the Asian plains
Where the sky begins and ends and begins again
Everything runs with winds and rains
Everything ends at the gates of Chang’an

Just a prospect on the horizon and the wind behind us
Swaying along the changing course of things
And along the highlands
We follow the phoenix in flight between harmony and perfection
We seek our brothers and sisters
We seek ourselves in another dimension
Because we are all connected to the sun
We are Zenith and Nadir and we are always on the run
Restless souls always looking for something
We are once again on the way to Chang’an

Rivers still flow along the Asian plains
Where the sky begins and ends and begins again
Everything runs with winds and rains
Everything ends at the gates of Chang’an

(FEAT. EMILIANO PASQUINELLI)
Lyrics by Shaman Wid

Hoist your sails once more
Face the East, no surrender
Stand your ground and fight
You who cross the lines
You who look beyond the oceans, sending words to the breezes
You who drag your destiny, looking back sometimes
You who chase a way, You who cross the lines
You who dream, You who still dream
Like wanderers on winding roads
With our gaze we seek blessings
As small flowers at the edge of the path
Searching for the secret of wind and light
Along the inclined plane of time
Like trees that sway in the storm
Bending some words to the sky
Cast your banners to the waves
Cling to the heroes’ chariot of light
Rise again and again like a phoenix
Stay human, stay human
You who look beyond the oceans, sending words to the breezes
You who drag your destiny, looking back sometimes
You who chase a way, You who cross the lines
You who dream
It doesn’t matter if we fall
Now machines and algorithms
Have sealed the clouds and the herons
In dark rags adrift
The harp of life will sing again
We shall return like the sun and rain
As blades of grass, as blooming flowers
As roses among the roses
Doesn’t matter if we fall
We are children of this strange world
A tangle of laughter and tears
A dance among the losses and gains
Cast your banners to the waves
Cling to the heroes’ chariot of light
Rise again and again like a phoenix
Stay human, stay human
You who look beyond the oceans, sending words to the breezes
You who drag your destiny, looking back sometimes
You who chase a way, You who cross the lines

Lyrics by Shaman Wid

Time has dragged your ship
in dark nights without dreams
where the birds do not sing
and the clouds are silent ghosts
Time has touched your heart
Your memories lost in far cities,
And your most beautiful words
With a breath dispersed in dust

Far beyond the waves in a starless empty space
Where morning never comes to chase the darkness away

Come into my arms, come into my arms
My caress is gentle as dew on the leaves
Come into my arms find on my breast
The loving smile of your long lost mother

Always dreaming of a wind
To raise your worn sails
Always waiting for a wind
To return to your land
To return to your land

Far beyond the waves in a starless empty space
Where morning never comes to chase the darkness away

Come into my arms, come into my arms
My caress is gentle as dew on the leaves
Come into my arms find on my breast
The loving smile of your long lost mother

Come into my arms
Let the storm be still
Come into my arms
You’ll find your way home
