THE SOUND OF RAIN

WALK IN DARKNESS feat. EMILIANO PASQUINELLI

Come on in the middle of the show
Rain,  rain, endless rain
Advanced reality in global connection
An endless storm

It’s not easy to find a way, to find  a way
The sky darkens and closes day after day,
Like it’s the end, like it’s the end,
In the sound of rain
When our mind is flying, when we fly away,
We draw our maps, looking for another way
Beyond the borders of  the world,
Beyond the mud and rain,
So weaving the flight of butterflies
We cross the curved lines of time

Like sparks that vanish
As they go away to nowhere,
One by one we vanish
We run and run in circles
In search of ourselves
One by one we vanish
In the rain

In the last cold gleams of the day we flex our heads,
Towards all that flows, towards all that ends,
Like fluctuating shadows in the lattice of time,
And even, even now, we are dancing again
In our life that rushes by, that runs away

Like sparks that vanish
As they go away to nowhere,
One by one we vanish
We run and run in circles,
In search of ourselves
One by one we vanish in the rain

It’s not easy to find a way, to find  a way
The sky darkens and closes day after day
It’s not easy to find a way, to find  a way
The sky darkens and closes day after day,
In the sound of rain

ON THE ROAD TO BABYLON

WALK IN DARKNESS feat. EMILIANO PASQUINELLI

Before the last leaves fall
Leave the crowd behind you
And, when we’re alone, watch me
You won’t get any answers
Along the roads of the world,
Only my body can make you a God
Come near,
Don’t look around you,
The world is changing, the world is imploding
To advancing global madness

Oh, we’re back on the road to Babylon
We have raised another Babylon
And once again we are awaiting trial
We laid the foundations in the depths of the earth
And stone by stone we rose to the sky
Like Gods, like Gods
Now, all things lapse,
Once again,
Only dreams remain
Like gardens suspended in the sky
Another Babylon
Oh, the circle closes once again

For thousands and thousands of years
We’re still on the road, on the road to Babylon
On the wave of fading time
Like the smell of gardens by the side of the road

Just a drop of beauty left behind
From the flow of the tide that rises and falls
Like human madness
Come, come close to me
Before the last leaves fall
And, when we’re alone, touch me

Another world of bleak skies,
A suffering trans-humanity
Like swarming of metal bodies
Along the lines of destiny
For thousands and thousands of years
We’re still on the road, on the road to Babylon
On the wave of fading time
Like the smell of gardens, by the side of the road

Like galaxies,
Like so many lost spaceships
We’re moving away from our world,
From our life, from our way,
And we cruise around like drones,
Like mechanical dragonflies
Under a sky that sinks lower
Under a low and alien sky, under a low sky

Come on, the time is over

I deem that, in silence, trees will bloom again
And forever, together, we’ll walk on the sky
I deem that, in silence, trees will bloom again
And forever, together, we’ll walk on the sky

Dust clouds and swarms of viruses
Hiding the horizon’s lines
We can’t see the Achaeans
Who sail for Troy,
But, we’re still at war, a global war,
Without heroes
We’re still at war, a silent war,
Day by day
Like galaxies,
Like so many lost spaceships
We’re moving away from our world,
From our life, from our way
Let’s get up from here, away from darkness
Only mechanical dragonflies
Under a low and alien sky,
Under a low sky
Come on, the time is over

I deem that, in silence, trees will bloom again
And forever, together, we’ll walk on the sky
I deem that, in silence, trees will bloom again
And forever, together, we’ll walk on the sky

I deem that, in silence, trees will bloom again
And forever, together, we’ll walk on the sky
I deem that, in silence, trees will bloom again
And forever, together, we’ll walk on the sky

ON THE MOON OR ON MARS

WALK IN DARKNESS feat. EMILIANO PASQUINELLI

Yes, we need low entropy to ward off the end,
To control the system,
We look for low entropy source
On the sun or on stars, on the moon or on Mars
And we want to know about ourselves,
We wonder why we are in pain?
Like suns and moons, like fallen angels
And like the Gods themselves
Why all this turn into dust?
Why the silence, why the darkness?
Why the darkness?
Always looking for symmetry
In asymmetric worlds
We walk fast, faster and faster
But we are still here
And one night we will go away,
When the crows they will call our name,
And one day we will go away,
When a old gypsy will reveal our destiny
Following our visions,
Leaving open doors behind us
That slam and close in the circle of time
And we are still standing,
On the sides of a dusty railway,
Waiting for a train for the moon or for Mars
We need low entropy,
We look for low entropy source
On the sun or on stars,
On the moon or on Mars
Always looking for symmetry
In asymmetric worlds
We walk fast, faster and faster
But we are still here,
And one night we will go away,
When the crows they will call our name,
And one day we will go away,
when a old gypsy will reveal our destiny
And one night we will go away,
When the crows they will call our name,
And one day we will go away,
When a old gypsy will reveal our destiny

We have lost everything we could have lost
And we leave again in low light,
In the oblivion of the falling leaves,
Thinking we have always been here
As if we never born, as if we never die

We can see ships leaving for the stars
Along the lines of space-time
Defying the laws of gravity
Only memories are left in the cone of light
Among floating plastic islands in post-reality
We can see dense dark clouds
That fill the world stage and the blanks of the soul
So we’re here now

Run to me like a rushing river,
Nothing, nothing, lasts forever
Like a wave crashing down over me,
Nothing, nothing, lasts forever
Forever
Nothing, nothing, lasts forever

I call the rain as witness on the stand
I call the wind and time
And all things that run away
Which algorithm
Can redraw the silver glows of the streams
Or the miracle of dreams?
Nothing around us
Only ships that leave for the stars
Along the lines of space-time
Defying the laws of gravity
We can see
I call the wind and time
We can see, we can see
I call the things that flee
We can see

Run to me like a rushing river,
Nothing, nothing, lasts forever
Like a wave crashing down over me,
Nothing, nothing, lasts forever
Run to me like a rushing river,
Nothing, nothing, lasts forever
Like a wave crashing down over me,
Nothing, nothing, lasts forever
Forever

IN THE MISTS OF TIME

WALK IN DARKNESS feat. EMILIANO PASQUINELLI

I don’t see the phoenix rising,
I don’t see the flaming look of the sun
Nothing in the East, nothing in the West, just nothing.
Flatlands directionless, smooth surfaces directionless
Where shadows recede only to come back

I don’t see the chariot of the clouds
Wandering through the sky,
No wind rises to rescue us from here
The heroes give way to silicon and graphene
The warships going away in the global grey sea,
And we too, are going on routes already drawn
Where real things dissolve like image sequences
In the mists of time, in the mists of time,
In the mists of time, in the mists of time

I don’t see the phoenix rising, I don’t see the sun,
Nothing in the East, nothing in the West, just nothing
We have reached immortality
And now we cling to dreams to leave,
To leave forever, this reality
In the mists of time

We have crossed the lines of the setting sun
To reach immortality, to find eternity,
And now we cling to dreams to leave,
To leave forever, this reality

We have crossed the lines of the setting sun
To reach immortality, to find eternity,
Forgetting the beauty of streams flowing from the rocks
They run and run and gleam then dissolve into sea
Forgetting the cycle of seasons, forgetting the beauty of roses
That bloom in an instant and in an instant wither
In the mists of time, in the mists of time,
In the mists of time, in the mists of time

I don’t see the phoenix rising,
I don’t see the flaming look of the sun.
Nothing in the East, nothing in the west, just nothing
We have reached immortality
And now we cling to dreams to leave,
To leave forever, this reality

Something blows on my restless wings,
And brings me back
Sometimes I close my mind like a closed box
My dreams in many frames floating in a case of glass
Nothing can hurt me, nothing can touch me
I can delete the time lines, the passing world,
And the principle of causality
What will be my life?
If my love passes like a stormy wave
Wild and out of control,
When ruthless and cruel runs like a dance
Then it stops and vanish
What will be my life?
I don’t know if, one day, we may meet again
Like clouds meeting the wind beyond the sun and rain
I don’t know if, one day, we may meet again
Like clouds meeting the wind
Beyond the sun and rain
Beyond the gates of time, beyond the gates of time
I don’t know, I don’t know
This is my soul
I walk on what is to come
Or I can go back, like rain,
Fated to fall anywhere from the sky
Simply I follow the sun’s cycle
Reflecting the rays of light
On the sadness, on the madness of the world
What will be my life?
If my love passes like a stormy wave,
Wild and out of control,
When ruthless and cruel runs like a dance
Then it stops and vanish
What will be my life?
I don’t know if, one day, we may meet again
Like clouds meeting the wind beyond the sun and rain
Beyond the gates of time, beyond the gates of time
Beyond the gates of time, beyond the gates of time
This is my soul, I walk on what is to come
Or I can go back, like rain,
Fated to fall anywhere from the sky
Simply I follow the sun’s cycle
Reflecting the rays of light
On the sadness, on the madness of the world

Beyond the horizon, beyond all we can see,
Something draws the lines of destiny
We are alone in the geometry of things,
hanging from the clouds only a hand waving free
Now the winter is everywhere,
Shadows lengthen turn into demons
While the asymmetric flow of time
Gives a beat to lifeless things
We traverse the paths of knowledge,
But we know nothing of us, only that we are here
To pile up and raise stone by stone,
Forgetting the beauty of words
Now it’s time to rise,
To run fast in the wake of kings
It’s time to rise,
Stop floating in memories
It’s time to rise…
There must be other ways, there must be
There must be other worlds, there must be
It’s time to rise cling to the sun’s rays
Flat level sands stretch far away
Walking like shadows we search for what is lost
We raise all things we later let fall down,
Always clinging to eventuality and hope
But, the winter is everywhere
Shadows lengthen to turn into demons
Now it’s time to rise,
To run fast in the wake of kings
It’s time to rise,
To run towards infinity
It’s time to rise…
It’s time to rise,
Cling to the sun’s rays
Like waves in the ocean of time
We fall and rise again
Like sailors lost in the ocean of time
On every island we find new pain

I’d like to touch life hidden in folds of reality
To walk on the fallen leaves, along the paths of time
To dance like trees that bend to the wind,
On the brightest hour of day,
In the darkest hour of night
To look into the folds of life, in the people’s hearts

They can drag me down, they can switch off my sensors
They can drag me down, they can reset my memory
They can drag me down, this spark will rise again
This spark will shine again

It’s just a system error, like a crazy spark
Appeared out of nowhere
A tiny flickering light but stronger than the pain
To live in another world, to live in another time
To live in another world

I don’t know what it means,
I don’t know what is this light that never sets,
Lights up as a hope, shines like a tear
Lights up as a hope, shines like a tear

They can drag me down, they can switch off my sensors
They can drag me down, they can reset my memory
They can drag me down, this spark will rise again
They can drag me down, they can switch off my sensors
They can drag me down, they can reset my memory
They can drag me down, this spark will shine again
They can drag me down, they can reset my memory
This spark will shine again
