The scent of a new day brings along

rich soil for reconquering my world

Same path from a different point of view

that leads me to this sweet euphoria

A becoming gaze

from those halcyon days

to the future

Don’t say all hope is gone away

Forgetting is a subtle act of grace

Untrodden skies

and swirling silhouettes

I feel justified

Too soon to reach the golden skyline

not to swim among the sparkling stars

As we synchronize our forces

to conspire against collapse

we should swim among the sparkling stars

Too soon to reach the golden skyline

not to swim among the sparkling stars

As we synchronize our forces

to conspire against collapse

we should swim among the sparkling stars

A heavy carriage pulled by butterflies

The furious tide stopped by the fervent hands

Not for so long, the gate has opened

to desecrate the temple of… forbidden thoughts

A changing paradigm

A cleansing move across the quicksand

Begone!

Some sense of guilt like in a Kafka story

Renewal

Refuse the bait of silken words

Unleashed

Ex Umbra in Solem

It was the question that brought you here

Connect the dots

Transcend the standard

Of dreams and dust

Of skin and passion

And if we save our words

shall we retrace the course?

Within the light

heading to the catharsis

Amidst a mental tundra

A soul cartography

beyond our mind (x4)

Of dreams and dust

Of skin and passion

And if we save our words

shall we retrace the course?

Of dreams and dust

Of skin and passion

And if we save our words

shall we retrace the course?

Adrift in the astral sea

No plan, no expectation

Just lost in infinity

A false sense of domination

Between balance and disorder

A thin line beyond our comprehension

Aeons ablaze

Across the multiform maze

Beware the disruptive morrow

Behold dimensions torn asunder

Roll of the dice

on the universe board

A bio-miracle

A gift of the sun

Random incarnation

Matter contingency

A flawless evolution?

An implicit delusion

Somos fragmentos

de sueño y realidad

Palabras en la arena

que la mar borrará

Who do you think we are?

Just fourteen seconds in the cosmic calendar

[Instrumental]

Warm

Then, cold

Forced to cross the emotional spectrum

From white to black

from black to white

through all the different greys

that separate bliss from misery

Random brushstrokes

on the canvas of the soul

The balance of an architecture of imperfection

There is always one more tear to shed

as there’s always one more smile to spread

The human spiral

The wheel… turns again

Warm

Then, cold

Forced to cross the emotional spectrum

The freedom to live

is also the right to be wrong

No white without the rest of colours

Life’s just the sum of mud and gold

There is always one more tear to shed

as there’s always one more smile to spread

The human spiral

The wheel… turns again

and again

and again

and again

and again

Warm

Then, cold

Forced to cross the emotional spectrum

A sudden blank in the middle of the day

an eerie disease. Will you be the next prey?

Impending disaster, massive spread

Confinement will not stop this dread

Nothing good is going to happen in the isolation ward

The frailty of a decadent system

Our eyes can’t discern

what’s false and what’s real

We’re all blindfold witnesses

in times of egocracy

The frailty of a decadent system

Our eyes can’t discern

what’s false and what’s real

We’re all blindfold witnesses

in times of egocracy

A total fade to white (x4)

“Soy como el libro,

ajado por el uso,

cuarteado por el tiempo,

al que se le borran las palabras.

Lo poco que alguna vez supe lo compartí.

Lo mucho que quise aprender lo pregunté.

¿Cuánto?

¿Cuánto queda hoy de lo que fui?

Ya no lo sé…”

The fragile existence

erasing from the deep

the substrate of experience

the inmost side of me

And i see it in your eyes

you don’t know me anymore

And I realize

The ruins of memory, the wreath of rust

A bitter sip

of vanishing moments

in the corner of fate

A frozen hindsight

a dreamy standstill

in a misplaced frame

A bitter sip

of vanishing moments

in the corner of fate

A frozen hindsight

a dreamy standstill

in a misplaced frame

And i see it in your eyes

you don’t know me anymore

And I realize

The ruins of memory, the wreath of rust

Who has seen the robber of memories? (x4)

Deep is the trench

in which I shelter my dreams

Sometimes the tide

gives you back what you have missed

You kept the words

not yet spoken

Time marked the cards

to premeditate the plot twist

No rewind, no forward

a frozen here and now

We’re back in action

Anticipate reaction

Take me to the limits of control

where old myths were buried long ago

The meaning of existence tends to hide

in the margins of the script of life

A milestone falls down

another will come

A symbol made of clay

when nothing’s sacred

I trusted wolves that night

A tempting lullaby

was sounding in the distance

Sustaining persistence

Take me to the limits of control

where old myths were buried long ago

The meaning of existence tends to hide

in the margins of the script of life

We saw empires while we were falling

and we thought we should embrace as our defense

Shadows jumped into the hellfire

and our past sins disappeared beneath the flames

We saw empires while we were falling

and we thought we should embrace as our defense

Shadows jumped into the hellfire

and our past sins disappeared beneath the flames

[Instrumental]

[Instrumental]

The dream was ending
as light was fading
A shout drowned in the night
Land was crying
as hope was dying
Earth beat is going slight

It’s our song
We who are not as you thought
We who brought the word of nevermore

They said that this battle was over
but we refused to hear them
Someone took the first step
Who said it would be easy?
Many fell by the wayside
So close to stop believing
I turned around and saw you all there
So clearly enough to understand
(that) it’s never too late
To face our fears

It’s our song
Raise your glass
and drink without sorrow
For all who couldn’t reach here

It’s our song
Look beyond
Move forward
We’re the ones who brave the storm

Someone took the first step
Who said it would be easy?
Many fell by the wayside
So close to stop believing
I turned around and saw you all there
So clearly enough to understand
(that) it’s never too late
To face our fears

Someone took the first step
Who said it would be easy?
Many fell by the wayside
So close to stop believing
I turned around and saw you all there
So clearly enough to understand
(that) it’s never too late
To face our fears

It’s our song
Raise your glass
and drink without sorrow
For all who couldn’t reach here

Now, that tomorrow is here
this is not what you always expected
You took your bags
you took your dreams
to a strange land
Reset your life
reset your goals
reprogramming your ideals

Away from home
Look for new north
But roots prevail
stronger than all

Exiled in peacetime’s surface
Beneath the war is waging
Economic weapons of mass destruction
A battlefield empty of blood
but full of broken hopes

Away from home
Look for new north
But roots prevail
stronger than all

’cause blood is thicker than progress water (x4)

Away from home
Look for new north
But roots prevail
stronger than all

The road that leads to border
The corner of the shaky ground
Warm me
Embrace me, now

Where do we go?
Keep the flame
Retain the memory
I’ll wait for you till you arrive here

¿A dónde irán?
¿Se borrarán?
Son sólo instantes flotando en la inmensidad
Atrapa alguno
Atrapa alguno ya

Can feel some inspiring insight
The power of the layered past
Those parts of you that recall me
Who I am

Where do we go?
Keep the flame
Retain the memory
I’ll wait for you till you arrive here

¿A dónde irán?
¿Se borrarán?
Son sólo instantes flotando en la inmensidad
Atrapa alguno
Atrapa alguno ya

…Remember…

Where do we go?
Keep the flame
Retain the memory
I’ll wait for you till you arrive here

¿A dónde irán?
¿Se borrarán?
Son sólo instantes flotando en la inmensidad
Atrapa alguno
Atrapa alguno ya

…Recuérdame…

[Instrumental]

We live on a mountain
Right at the top
There’s a beautiful view
From the top of the mountain

Every morning I walk towards the edge
And throw little things off
Like car-parts, bottles and cutlery
Or whatever I find lying around

It’s become a habit
A way
To start the day

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

It’s early morning
No-one is awake
I’m back at my cliff
Still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make
On their way down
I follow with my eyes ’til they crash
I imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks

And when it lands
Will my eyes
Be closed or open?

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you
Safe up here with you

I don’t drink coffee I take tea my dear
I like my toast done on one side
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I’m an Englishman in New York

See me walking down Fifth Avenue
A walking cane here at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I’m an Englishman in New York

I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien
I’m an Englishman in New York
I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien
I’m an Englishman in New York

If “Manners maketh man” as someone said
Then he’s the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien
I’m an Englishman in New York
I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien
I’m an Englishman in New York

Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
You could end up as the only one
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
At night a candle’s brighter than the sun

Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than a license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run

If “Manners maketh man” as someone said
Then he’s the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say…

I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien
I’m an Englishman in New York
I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien
I’m an Englishman in New York

I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien
I’m an Englishman in New York
I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien
I’m an Englishman in New York

Nobody knows
Nobody knows nobody
Nobody knows
Nobody knows nobody

Secrets don’t die
Just sleep in a lie
The hidden me
The real side

Nobody knows
Nobody knows nobody
Nobody knows
Nobody knows nobody

Where the doors are closed
And the flame of guilt is still alive
The defining fears
It’s the mask behind the mask

Secrets don’t die
Just sleep in a lie
The hidden me
The real side

Nobody knows
Nobody knows nobody
Nobody knows
Nobody knows nobody

Where the doors are closed
And the flame of guilt is still alive
The defining fears
It’s the mask behind the mask

Everybody… has a secret…

Nobody knows
Nobody knows nobody
Nobody knows
Nobody knows nobody

Overwhelmed
by the infinity of time and space
and all that’s left behind
Oh, tell me
Have you ever felt the universe
can fit in your hand?

So far, so close
The balanced paradox

Overcome
by the calculated chaos
and its reasons and its games
No, don’t tell me
that we’ll never be divided
‘cause we’re all passing stars

We’re all passing stars

Perspective
is everything

En noches como ésta, la eternidad
se mece lentamente
y, en el espejo, a un tiempo, mi otro yo
me mira, frente a frente

Overall,
we’re the winning tickets
in a lottery of fate
And I don’t want to remind you
we’re the necessary losers
in a sempiternal race

So far, so close
The balanced paradox

How many thoughts can be hidden
in a blink?
How much sense can you find
in a sigh?

November
Remember
the howling
of nightmares
that turn
into a sough

Words get broken
and wheel around
The world keeps turning
Complete black out

In the mouth of madness
we’ll meet again to light
the darkened path to sanity
In the shade of sadness
we’re waiting for a signal
to write the timeless memories

Eject your soul
Descending skies
Out of context
on a cloudy line
Caught in the middle
The last endeavor
for the final stand

One step further
to fall and then re-climb
the wall of fears and dreams
before we die

In the mouth of madness
we’ll meet again to light
the darkened path to sanity
In the shade of sadness
we’re waiting for a signal
to write the timeless memories

[Instrumental]

Lost in a spiral that leads you to nowhere
Who has turned out the lights?
Confusing direction
to aim for an inflection point
The start of an era
The first of an untouched hope

And, as you choose to hide,
the path is out of sight
What I regret the most
were the things I didn’t try

There’s no glamour in death
Believe my words, my friend
And life awaits the brave
To those with intention
Pay with your pain
But claim for your gain

Time is calling
Hear its warning
Light fades out
as years pass you by
Wasted days, wasted nights
Don’t waste your time
Just play your role
in this theatre of life

Wake up the beast inside
Finding a cause of pride
I got strong with wrongs
that taught me what is right.

There’s no glamour in death
Believe my words, my friend
And life awaits the brave
To those with intention
Pay with your pain
But claim for your gain

You can’t hear the warning
Sirens’ chant is getting loud
Burn the prayers, burn the morals
Burning bridges, blinding sun

Wonder
No longer
The answer is
the question

And all I’ve got
is what you see here
Some piece of pride
and a license for dreaming
Left my hate behind
Burden laid aside
And someday
Time will tell

Time will tell
And complete the open script
It’s the logic
of forgiveness
against the sickness of conceit

Wonder
No longer
The answer is
the question

And all I’ve got
is what you see here
Some piece of pride
and a license for dreaming
Left my hate behind
Burden laid aside
And someday
Time will tell

“The lie of god is the lie of men
that run away from the consequences of their acts,
that renounce their creative genius,
that transform their freedom into their prison”

When the world turns to farce
and the blind claim to see
The rest keep silent
and fear is the key

The soul collector’s on the loose
Exchanging reason for oblivion
Enslaved to sin, tighten the noose
Low-cost absolution, ethics execution

Religion takes the floor
Science is muzzled
They try the lie one thousand times told
dressed up as truth

Rationale finds shelter in the catacombs
of this society
installed in self complacency
Narcollective

“Beyond smoke and mirrors
we will find our true selves”

And I don’t want your sad life
’cause i’ve learned that faith is not hope
No need for hell or heaven
I believe in you and me
And that’s enough
to feed my soul

[Instrumental]
