Lyrics
SHIPS TO ATLANTIS
WALK IN DARKNESS
feat. GABRIELE BOSCHI and N.O.S
The Gods keep the silence
The oracles are now off line
The ship is slowly moving away
Salome won’t dance tonight
We’re all alone on the Bridge
We’re alone and we look at the sky
What else can we do, brother?
What else can we say and write?
No one’s looking at us
Every window is darkened
We have no promises to keep
We drag our load of vanities
Stirred souls in the waves
On the crowded ships to Atlantis
And we implore Poseidon over and over again
For Atlantis to appear along the skyline
I won’t sleep tonight, I can’t sleep tonight,
I think this time I’ll open my door
I will throw my heart away in the darkness
The Waves will carry it to the end of the world
The Gods keep the silence
The oracles are now off line
The ship is slowly moving away
Salome won’t dance tonight
We are all alone on the Bridge
We’re all alone looking at the sky
Every day we try to guess the best way
To avoid death rather than seek life
In a revolving carousel of skies and hells.
We lost the maps of the Egyptian priests,
So we’re sailing on sight towards the horizon line
Meanwhile, Atlantis getting farther and farther away
I won’t sleep tonight, I can’t sleep tonight,
I think this time I’ll open my door
I will throw my heart away in the darkness
The Waves will carry it to the end of the world
LEAVES ROLLING IN TIME
WALK IN DARKNESS
feat. EMILIANO PASQUINELLI
Miles from the sky Along the paths of Time
We drag Gods and Demons rolling like leaves in the wind
We follow the wind blowing from the east
Where the hours and time arise
With the all-beholding Sun
We follow the paths carved by the seers
The vortices of sand
And all that we love that slowly moves away
We’re the only ones who bend words
We trap the plains and the oceans between lines and prophecies
Love is only giving dreams
Love is nothing more than giving dreams
At war again
Like leaves rolling in the wind
Along the paths of time
We cross the oceans in starlight
And once more we go to war
Burying the ruins in the deserts of the soul
With our Gods and our Demons
From heaven to hell, from hell to heaven
The last day will find us still standing
With our dreams
Like warriors, like heroes
With our dreams suspended in the sky
We’ll fall and we’ll rise again to the change in winds
It’s our life, it’s our doom,
It’s our doom suspended in the sky
We follow the wind blowing from the West
Where Prometheus is chained
And the sun drowns its steeds
While Atlantis closes the doors
Just a wing to fly away, we jump and fall
In this way we have come
We’re all strangers in the world
Strangers in this world
And sometimes we look at the sky
Beyond the moon and the stars
Where we will meet again
I know, we’ll meet again
Love is only giving dreams
Love is nothing more than giving dreams
The last day will find us still standing
With our dreams
Like warriors, like heroes
With our dreams suspended in the sky
We’ll fall and we’ll rise again to the change in winds
It’s our life, it’s our doom,
It’s our doom suspended in the sky
BENT BY STORMS AND DREAMS
WALK IN DARKNESS
Get up, man, we have miles to go
Along gray plains and dark oceans
In the wind and rain
With slow beats of wings even herons going away
Like dark ships, like omens, like defeated knights
Season by season we are nothing but human beings
Madness and reason
Bent by storms and dreams
Looking for what is lost we drink our beer
Waiting for better times, hoping for another day
Everything we bring does not weight and does not gleam
Just faded memories mixed with dreams
Just a tense fine line on the eventualities
We’ll get lost or we’ll meet again
In advanced connectivity
All roads end in the depths of the soul
Where light winds blow to fill our sails
All roads end in the depths of the soul
In the hidden skies where the sun can rise again
All roads end in the depths of the soul
Where light winds blow to fill our sails
Get up, man, this will not be the last day
Let’s look around,
Somewhere, the sun will rise again
Get up, man, on this gray plain
Suddenly one day the sun will rise again
Season by season we are nothing but human beings
Madness and reason, bent by storms and dreams
Season by season, we’re only human
Madness and reason
Bent by storms and dreams
By storms and dreams
Season by season, we’re only human
Madness and reason
Bent by storms and dreams
We’re only human
Bent by storms and dreams
GET AWAY
WALK IN DARKNESS
feat. EMILIANO PASQUINELLI
Just another ride between laughs, between tears, on the abyss
Yes, sometimes they come smiling with large ships
Other times they come crying among restless waves
It’s just another ride between laughs, between tears, on the abyss
In eternal party on the abyss, on the abyss
The love no finds landfall in people and it sails in the distance
Trans-Humans dumb as corpses
There is no more poetry or vision
No stars in the sky, no direction
We’ve lost the way
Everything turns to dust, everything is fake and confused
In the declining light of the West
I want to get away, I want to leave
To read the secret words hidden in the drops of light
That dance on the waves whispering to other worlds
I want to leave, I want to go
On top of the hills like a bee among the petals
Waiting for the wandering clouds
To steal from them the secret of the seasons
To give a reason for my journey
To give everything a reason
To give everything a reason
To give everything a reason
Just another ride between laughs, between tears, on the abyss
Lord, my hands are empty
I have only my dreams tense as strings above the abyss.
It’s just another ride between laughs, between tears, on the abyss
In eternal party on the abyss, on the abyss
I want to get away, I want to leave
To walk in the wheat fields that swing in the Wind
Turning sunlight into gold
I want to get away, I want to leave now
To read the secret words hidden in the drops of light
That dance on the waves whispering to other worlds
To give a reason for my journey
To give everything a reason
To give everything a reason
To give everything a reason
The love no finds landfall in people and it sails in the distance
Trans-Humans dumb as corpses
There is no more poetry or vision
No stars in the sky, no direction
Just another ride between laughs, between tears, on the abyss
It’s just another ride between laughs, between tears, on the abyss
In eternal party on the abyss, on the abyss
WALK CLOSE TO ME
WALK IN DARKNESS
Gods watch in silence, they have no revelations at hand,
They are lost and suspended in the wind like grains of sand
That slowly dissolves with memories
Walk close to me
Walk close to me
Along this mechanical change of season
This endless winter, this designed change of season
Without feelings, without reason
The beating of our hearts will resound down the empty roads
And it will break the hostility of this sky falling apart
Walk with me
We’ll wear the best dress and we’ll walk with dignity
In this night that never ends
We’ll be gentle with everyone we meet
And tomorrow or in five hundred years, we’ll return
So be steadfast with me and we’ll return again,
With sunlight, on the back of the wind, we’ll return
Walk close to me and before the end of time
The birds will return from the sea noisy and free again
Gods watch in silence, no passage, no guide
To cross this dark ocean
The waters don’t divide
No lighthouses in the distance
In this night that never ends
But we’ll not surrender, we cannot surrender
We’ll be gentle with everyone we meet
And tomorrow or in five hundred years, we’ll return
Walk close to me and we’ll return again,
Tomorrow or in five hundred years, we’ll return
Noisy and free like birds, like birds from the sea
Like birds from the sea, we’ll return
So be steadfast with me and we’ll return again
With sunlight, on the back of the wind
Like birds from the sea
We’ll return
Like birds, like birds from the sea
Walk close to me and we’ll return again
Noisy, noisy and free like birds from the sea
NO OXYGEN IN THE WEST
WALK IN DARKNESS
In silence, the light gives way to madness
We run looking for something
Stomping everything we meet
Now time is running out
Our hands can take anything
But our souls remain empty
There’s no more oxygen in the West
There’s no more oxygen
If we scream or cry words get lost in the sky
Like wind and dust, like clouds passing by
We drag ourselves like ghosts
Looking back from time to time
Waiting for this day to pass in vain
Hoping, hoping, tomorrow, to be born again
Like a heron in flight
Beyond the stars and even further away
Like a drop of light exploded from a new day
Like a heron in flight
On the oceans, beyond the oceans
In distant skies, beyond the horizon line
Love is not required any more
Babylon lifts her legs
She smiles and gives everyone the same destiny
We’ve lost the kinship to the Gods
In algorithms and Techno-religions
The candle of reason fades away
No remission, no empathy or compassion
The light bends to insanity
And the path is lost in the maze of lies
There’s no more oxygen in the West
No more oxygen in the West.
Like a heron in flight
Beyond the stars and even further away
Like a drop of light exploded from a new day
Like a heron in flight
On the oceans, beyond the oceans
In distant skies, beyond the horizon line
There’s no more oxygen in the West
THE LAST GLOW OF DAY
WALK IN DARKNESS
Radiation storms, dust on dust
Humans, Gods and machines, everything is connected,
While the waves break in vain, sunlight declines
We have become immortal without loss without gain
But we are still standing and we wait again
And we hope the day will come
When we’ll raise our words to heaven
And from heaven, on every slow heart that is left behind
On every heart defeated and resigned
We have to go, we are the soldiers
We are the kings, children, mothers, fathers
We are history, we are memory, we are dream,
We are swallows in flight
In the last glow of day, in the last glow of day
We are night and dawn, we laugh and cry
We are the last glow of day
The last glow of day
Like lost ships looking for a passage in the wind
Chasing the phoenix we fall and rise every day
And we hope the day will come
To meet again, to meet again
Everything is connected, everything is planned
But if love is fond of us, maybe love will save us
Love will save us
In another world, in another time
Maybe the day will come
When we will meet again
In another time, in another time
We are memory, we are dream,
We are swallows in flight
In the last glow of day, in the last glow of day
We are night and dawn, we laugh and cry
We are the last glow of day, the last glow of day
We are memory, we are dream,
We are swallows in flight
In the last glow of day
The last glow of day
We are night and dawn, we laugh and cry
We are the last glow of day
The last glow of day
ELIZABETH
WALK IN DARKNESS
Ships come and go in the maze of wind
That lifts and sinks dreams like waves chasing each other
Elizabeth, look around you now
There’s still a ray of light, a swallow is still flying
Seekers in long caravans among the dunes
Are still searching for Atlantis
They cross the highlands without looking back
To not have to weigh gain and loss
We too, like everybody else,
Walking along the rough roads of Babylon
Love passes like swirling rivers
Or in slow, flat and safe waters
Hanging from the wood like a castaway
Between storms, high waves and winds
Elizabeth
This is love, is the only love I know
Elizabeth
This is love, is the only love I know
I’ll never track you down
For you are illusion, moon and tide,
You’re on the front of the trade winds
You are the rain, you are the rain,
You come from afar
And maybe you dream of the scents of jasmine
Or when you were a queen of the islands
Risen from the oceans like sirens, like sirens
In the Indies never found, in the Indies never found
Elizabeth
You come from afar, you come from afar
We cannot suspend the sky
We can’t slow the sun down
But there’s still a ray of light
Some swallows are still in flight
Some swallows are still in flight
Elizabeth
Love passes like swirling rivers
Or in slow, flat and safe waters
Hanging from the wood like a castaway
Between storms, high waves and winds
Elizabeth
This is love, is the only love I know
Elizabeth
This is love, is the only love I know
