WHY THE BIRDS FLY SO HIGH
AND THE MORNING LIGHT HAS DISAPPEARED?
SUDDENLY A COBALT THUNDER
SPREADS ITS ARGENT NET
OVER THE MOUNTAINS
ALL IS DARK
AND THE GATES OF THOUGHTS
OPEN THEIR DOORS
TOWARD MY GARDEN WITHIN
THE RAIN GENTLY FALLS,
IT SEEMS ETERNAL
AND THE STORM SHOOT DOWN
ALL IS DARK
AND THE GATES OF THOUGHTS
OPEN THEIR DOORS
TOWARD MY GARDEN WITHIN
I ‘VE LOST MY MEMORIES
LIKE NAMELESS RAIN DROPS
FLAME OF THE PAST DAWN
MELTS IN A RAINBOW
ALL IS DARK
AND THE GATES OF THOUGHTS
OPEN THEIR DOORS
TOWARD MY GARDEN WITHIN

Winter Solstice

MY FATHER WALKED ALONE
CROSSED BROOKS AND FIELDS
HE LOOKED LIKE A MAN
WHO TALKED WITH THE WIND
TREES AND LEAVES EMBRACED
HIS SHADOW
AND HIS EYES
DANCED WITH THE LIGHTS
OF LONELINESS AND MADNESS.
IN A FROZEN WINTER NIGHT
HE MET AN ICY DEER
THAT PROMISED
TO BRING HIM
IN A WARMER
COLOURFUL HILL

A Dream Lost Forever
02:44

I WALK THROUGH THE GARDEN
FOLLOWING
THE ORIZON OF THE GREEN LEAVES
BEES AND WHITE
BUTTERFLIES
WHIRL INTO TRANSLUCENT
COILS OF COLOURS
WAVING PETALS AND
SHIVERING ARGENT NETS
SHOW ME THE REAL FACE
OF THE WIND

TI HO VISTO CRESCERE COME UN ALBERO
RADICI FULGENTI SI SONO ABBEVERATE
NELLE SORGENTI DI RUGIADA
DOVE LE NINFEE SI SPECCHIAVANO
NELLE NUVOLE ALATE
IL TEMPO E' MUTATO NEL SUO DIVENIRE
EVAPORANO NELL' ESISTENZA BARLUMI DI COSCIENZA
SI SFALDANO TRA I VENTI
I GERMOGLI DELLE PRIMAVERE.
L’OSCURATA’ E L’ALBA
SI CONTENDONO IL SAPORE DELLE TUE LACRIME
L’OSCURO ARCOBALENO E’ SORTO

The Thorn

I THREW MYSELF OFF
THE CLIFF OF DESIRE
TO THE SEA OF LOVE.
YOU WERE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ROSE
BUT YOUR LOVE WAS MADE OF THORNS.
I HAVE SPENT YEARS CARRYING THAT THORN
I HAVE TRAVELLED ALL THE UNKNOWN ROADS OF THE WORLD
TO FORGET A CRUEL DEMON.
SUDDENLY THE DAWN
AFTER NIGHTS OF THUNDERS AND RAIN
THE WIND TOOK YOU AWAY
SO PURE WAS THE FIRE
THAT BURNED MY THORN

The Old Seaman

NOW HE FEELS SO TIRED
LIKE HE WALKED IN A FROZEN LAND
THE TIDE HAS WRAPPED AROUND HIM
ITS ICY SHARP NAILS
HE ROWS IN A SEA OF MUD
AND HIS ARMS ARE SO HEAVY NOW
HE WISHES HE COULD SLEEP
BUT HE IS AFRAID TO SLEEP
TO FALL AND NEVER COME BACK
THE LOW TIDE
INVITES HIM
TO TOUCH THE HEADY HORIZON
AND HE SWIMS
LIKE AN OLD WHALE
TOWARD THE WOMB OF THE ABYSS
THE LIGHT UNDER WATER
EMBRACES HIS BLUE EYES
HE REMEMBERS THE TIME HE WAS YOUNG
HE KNOWS THAT DREAMS CAN BURN
IN A COIL OF MADNESS AND BLOOD
HE WISHES HE COULD SLEEP
BUT HE IS AFRAID TO SLEEP
TO FALL AND NEVER COME BACK
THE HIGH TIDE
INVADES HIM
HE CAN HEAR HER VOICE AGAIN
AND HE SWIMS
LIKE AN OLD WHALE
TOWARD THE WOMB OF THE ABYSS

SUN IS SPARKLING
ON MY TEARS
RISE A RAINBOW
AFTER THE RAIN
GROWING LEAVES,
FRIENDLY FAIRIES
I’M LOST AGAIN
IN THE MIRACLE OF BLOOM
ALL MY DARKNESS
IS FADING AWAY
AND I FEEL
LIKE ALL IS NEW
ALL IS NEW
ALL IN BLOOM

While You Were Away

WHILE YOU WERE AWAY
STRANGE FLOWERS WRAPPED AROUND MY SOUL
WHILE YOU WERE AWAY
WIND CAME TO PUT A WOUND IN MY SOUL
AND I CRY, I CRY
BECAUSE NOW
I AM A DEAD STAR
WHILE YOU ARE AWAY
LEAVES TURNS INTO THORNS
I CARESS THEM
AND MY BLOOD
PAINTS THE GROUND IN A RED DARK RIVER
WHILE YOU WERE AWAY
I KNEW DEATH, LIFE AND LOVE
WHILE YOU WERE AWAY
EVERY LITTLE THOUGHT WAS A LIFE
I LIVED SO DISTANT FROM MYSELF

Through The Ghostland

WHEN THE DAY IS FADING GREY
I’M A BEE INTO A WEB
ALL HAS HIDDEN IN A GHOST LAND
AND FROM THE CLOUDS
RAIN IS SLOWLY FALLING
YOUR WORLDS COME TO ME
LIKE A TEMPEST OF DEMONS
AND I CAN HATE YOU
WITH ALL OF MY LOVE
SUDDENLY I CAST A GLANCE
AND IN YOUR EYES
SPRING IS HERE AGAIN

Spell Of Winter

AND THE CLOUDS HAVE GATHERED
IN THIS ICY DAWN
CITY LIGHTS ARE SPARKLING
WITH THE WINTER STAR
WHEN THE DAYLIGHT FADES
STREETS ARE FROZEN BROOKS
WHERE SILENT WALKING SHADOWS
ARE SPARKLING COMETS LOST IN TIME.

SPRINGTIME
LILIES IN THE FIELDS
CHILDREN AND BIRDS:
THEIR VOICES OPEN MY WINDOW
MY HEART
IS SCREAMING FOR HAPPINESS
LIKE I WAS BORN AGAIN
PARFUMED RAIN DROPS
WRITE A RAINBOW IN THE SKY
NOW MY FEAR HAS GONE
FOR A WHILE
MY HEART
IS SCREAMING FOR HAPPINESS
LIKE I WAS BORN AGAIN
