WALK IN DARKNESS
FEATURING EMILIANO PASQUINELLI
Lyric by Shaman

Just follow my steps
my body is a river in  a summer valley
no pain is worthy of such  horizons
Don’t  be afraid to walk in darkness
fear not the demons of sleepless nights
The day always follows night
and the sun restores her colours
[How far away do the stars
seem to you?
You were a child when you could touch
them with your hands] When the waves rise and fall
we learn the secrets of losing and finding
We observe the moon’s cycle
and we learn that things begin and  end
[ The day is over
there’s no jobs to be done ] I sing of my mother’s face
that I seek in  every smile
I sing  of my father’s hands
that have guided my way
I sing of ancient pagan Gods
that loved this world
I sing of those who dream
and rise above the ruins
The trees will return to bloom
like light low clouds recur
and on the oceans
hurricanes will return to sever
the heather from the cliffs
[Among the fallen trees
among the broken branches
you can see the demons in flight
you can see the demons  waiting
Do not blame fate only  your steps
 led you here] Just follow my steps
my body is a river in  a summer valley
no pain is worthy of such  horizons
Don’t  be afraid to walk in darkness
fear not the demons of sleepless nights
The day always follows night
and the sun restores her colours
[How far away do the stars
seem to you?
You were a child when you could touch
them with your hands] When the waves rise and fall
we learn the secrets of losing and finding
We observe the moon’s cycle
and we learn that things begin and end
[ The day is over
there’s no jobs to be done ] I sing of my mother’s face
that I seek in  every smile
I sing  of my father’s hands
that have guided my way
I sing of Ancient pagan Gods
that loved this world
I sing of those who dream
and rise above the ruins
[Where lights play with shadows
all things falls apart] I sing of ancient pagan Gods
that loved this world
I sing of those who dream
and rise above the ruins
I sing of my mother’s face
that I seek in  every smile
I sing  of my father’s hands
that have guided my way
[This is a new order
where the wisdom is pointless ] I sing of Ancient pagan Gods
that loved this world
I sing of those who dream
and rise above the ruins

WALK IN DARKNES
Violin: Gabriele Boschi
Lyric by Shaman

 Every time I open my door
I see the light beam of day declining
all heroes have fallen at Troy’s walls
and people run to unite at an empty feast
And the sound of the wind
has become the crowd’s dull noise

Let’s go far away
Let’s go far from here
towards the cliffs of Argolis
where time moves slowly
Let’s go far away
Let’s go far from here

This world is a theatre
overflowing with empty words
One day is the same as another
everyday

Sailing far away like waves
in eternal change
beyond the horizon line
where the islands end
Far away towards Phoenician routes
sailing like Gods of Delos
between the music and the light

I see the world getting  smaller
the stars are replaced by money’s gleam
I hear  the people with fast and loud steps
crossing the bridge towards nothingness

Let’s go far away
Let’s go far from here
towards the cliffs of Argolis
where time moves slowly
Let’s go far away
Let’s go far from here

This world is a theatre
overflowing with empty words
One day is the same as another
everyday

Sailing far away like waves
in eternal change
beyond the horizon line
where the islands end
Far away towards Phoenician routes
sailing like Gods of Delos
between the music and the light
Sailing far away like waves
in eternal change
where  hibiscus blooms
climbing towards the sky

WALK IN DARKNESS
Lyric by Shaman

When we look at our days,
we see so many empty drawers
We walk as wandering gypsies
beneath a low dark sky
The debris of life surrounds us
like floating silent swans

Welcome welcome
to the changing world
a world without magic
without choice

I don’t see Hecate
to show us the way
I don’t see Terpsichore’s dance
on the sloping timeline

Faded colours around me
from the rains of time
fall and turn into drops
fall and turn into days

passing without sense

I wish to see the sun rising in the sky
I wish to see the sky sparkling with diamonds
I wish to see the sun rising in the sky
I wish to see the sky sparkling with diamonds

Welcome to the new world,
where everyone hides in themselves
where nothing makes sense anymore
and all colours fade away
Here all dreams fall and vanish
so easily like autumnal rain

I don’t see Hecate
to show us the way
I don’t see Terpsichore’s dance
on the sloping timeline
Here a lonely God reigns
hidden and far away

Faded colours around me
from the rains of time
fall and turn into drops
fall and turn into days

I wish to see the sun rising in the sky
I wish to see the sky sparkling with diamonds
I wish to see the sun rising in the sky
I wish to see the sky sparkling with diamonds
I wish to see the sun rising in the sky
I wish to see the sky sparkling with diamonds

I wish to see the sun rising in the sky
I wish to see the sky sparkling with diamonds

WALK IN DARKNESS
Lyric by Shaman

I  feel the cold wind on my skin
I  see wandering clouds  in the sky
Hostile they multiply
to the sound of the horn

How did we get here?
Where shadows devour light
and the oracles are silent ?
Though the our heavy shields
cannot stop the demons
we will fight for Rome

The Furies sit next to me
in the sleepless nights
Oh Gods
before the day’s end I wish could see
the waves lapping on the shore,
maybe peace is in poor things
without glory or fortune

I can see your maze of roads
as  straight arms towards the end of the world
I can see how far are
your gardens with the lilies sacred to  Juno

Barbarian legions from the north
they walk like shadows
they walk like spirits in the mist

Before the day’s end I would like to know
the winds direction  driving  Life and Death
embracing like sisters
dancing  endlessly around the world

How did we get here?
Where shadows devour light
and the oracles are silent?
Though the our heavy shields
cannot stop the demons
we will fight for Rome
I can see your maze of roads
as  straight arms towards the end of the world

I can see how far are
your gardens with the lilies sacred to Juno
Barbarian legions from the north
they walk like shadows
they walk like spirits in the mist

WALK IN DARKNESS
FEATURING  EMILIANO PASQUINELLI
Lyric by Shaman

In this street men come and go,
they walk on the edge of the path
deaf to the sound of birds,
so that, one by one,
they vanish in the sands of eternity
My heart  beats with the rain
knowing neither gain nor loss
[ I will not be a stranger to myself ] I’m the  silent sea
I’m the loneliness
I’m the  loneliness
my gates are open
I’m searching for memories
among the ruins of men
In the vortex of time
no road is too distant
[I don’t  need a motive
to join the  party of life ] Given my wings of madness you can fly
to the highest heavens
where poetry blooms
I’m the bride of blessed  or damned
I’m the  loneliness
I’m a game of chance
I  see beyond the mask
There are no heroes
when I change the colour of things
I’m the loneliness
[anxiety and sadness
 are  only paranoid  illusions] I’m the  silent sea
I’m the loneliness
I’m the  loneliness
my gates are open
I’m searching for memories
among the ruins of men
In the vortex of time
no road is too distant
You walk in front of your soul
until the slow decay of things
and fallen leaves hide the path
When the noise of rain replaces the songs of birds,
you will find again
you will find me

I’m the  silent sea
I’m the loneliness
I’m the  loneliness
my gates are open
I’m searching for memories
among the ruins of men
In the vortex of time
no road is too distant
[I don’t  need  a motive
to join the  party of life
I find comfort In caos and confusion
I laugh at those who do not dare]

WALK IN DARKNESS
Lyric by Shaman

Crossing the deep night
which cradles visions I walk
Along the dark shores
only shadows  listen  to my steps
The sun has fallen and hope has fled far away
Here fortune’s wheel does not turn
All doors are closed
But, when owls begin to call
I  raise the torch to the sky
so, the moon and stars will shine again
I will call the breeze
to scatter on the fields
the gold of daffodils
roses on hedges vibrant
like flaming stones
ejected by craters
I will call the breeze
to scatter on the fields
the gold of daffodils
roses on hedges vibrant
like flaming stones
ejected by craters
Life runs fast  to embrace death
like the words of poets when
seeking refuge in the silence
refuge in the silence
I draw a line between the blooming
and  the fading of things
I draw a line through time with colours
of what is lost and  found again
A trail of the eternal running
into nothing
Along the dark shores
only shadows  listen  to my steps
The sun has fallen and hope has fled far away
Here fortune’s wheel does not turn
All doors are closed
But, when owls begin to call
I raise the torch to the sky
so, the moon and stars will shine again
I will call the breeze
to scatter on the fields
the gold of daffodils
roses on hedges vibrant
like flaming stones
ejected by craters
I will call the breeze
to scatter on the fields
the gold of daffodils
roses on hedges vibrant
like flaming stones
ejected by craters

WALK IN DARKNESS
Lyric by Shaman

I see the people
like lonely candles
flickering among the moths in flight
I see the people
bent in pointless prayers
murmuring only empty words

But,
my song rises to heaven
like the flames
burning the towers
beyond the screams
of warriors and kings

People seek eternal life
looking inside the vanishing things
Human’s hopes pass by
like fast rivers in their wintry race

This world is always on the run
this world is always on the run

To the sound of the rain
for every wind that will blow
everything will fall
and everything will rise again
flame on flame,
abyss on abyss
everything will rise
and everything will fall again
flame on flame
flame on flame

I see the people
like lonely candles
flickering among the moths in flight
I see the people
bent in pointless prayers
murmuring  only empty words

But,
my song rises to heaven
like the flames
burning the towers
beyond the screams
of warriors and kings

To the sound of the rain
for every wind that will blow
everything will fall
and everything will rise again
flame on flame,
abyss on abyss
everything will rise
and everything will fall again
flame on flame
flame on flame

WALK IN DARKNESS
Lyric by Shaman

The sun’s going down
and like tiny dewdrops
daylight fades
The memories slip away
like clouds in the sky
towards the horizon
We’re moored like boats
floating and waiting
rain after rain
We never hear it coming
the silent cold winter
taking away the flowers
from our gardens
We never see him pass
the aged blind man
who touches our hearts
turning them into stone
We look for a chance
in the cycle of seasons
We look for a chance
in the visions of dreamers
We look for a chance
in the cycle of seasons
We’ll  find a way
in deep space
between the stars
We’ll  find a way
over the clouds
hiding the stars
There is a place in our soul
where time can’t
reach us
where sorrow can’t enter
where nothing
can affect us
where the songs of birds
are like a river
flowing to infinity
We never hear it coming
the silent cold winter
taking away the flowers
from our gardens
We never see him pass
the aged blind man
who touches our hearts
turning them into stone
We look for a chance
in the cycle of seasons
We look for a chance
in the visions of dreamers
We look for a chance
in the cycle of seasons
We’ll  find a way
in deep space
between the stars
We’ll  find a way
over the clouds
hiding the stars
