When Our gaze will reach the last star The skies will become darker and drear So, We will be forced to waive, to char All Our ambitions and dreams from fear Watching, looking, searching Another form and type of life Analyzing, numbering, filing Exhausted by the flow of time Compromising, comprising, composing Tightened by the curse of blight Scrutinising, crawling, groping Undecided about which is the right way to die The sky has suddenly become so dark Blinding the eyes of Those who want to behold The air has cruelly become so cold Freezing the heart of Those who wanted to spark Undress the veil that covers the scar All that once was true and clear Even Our curiosity seems bizarre It seems like We are drowning in a tear Watching, looking, searching Another form and type of life Analyzing, numbering, filing Exhausted by the flow of time Compromising, comprising, composing Tightened by the curse of blight Scrutinising, crawling, groping Undecided about which is the right way to lie The sky has suddenly become so dark Blinding the eyes of Those who want to behold The air has cruelly become so cold Freezing the heart of Those who wanted to spark The skies were so bright and full of hope We lost the only light that guided Us until now Then, something appeared in the deep Abyss Something unknown and obscure to Our eyes

From eons, I observe Your kind There's always something to see When You finally will find My question under the sea The freezing touch, a parching will Concealing lust, deafening shrill Oppressive rust, unceasing drill The fading trust, a dormant skill Slowly, in vain, You try to hide Your result of a torn spied conception The dreary cage that closes Your mind Against every form of perception The force You have wasted to grind To write Your trifling decree All the time You spent to bind And then let everything to flee Do not know that You are blind Do not know that You're not free All Your knowledge is now twined The tragic craze of the carefree The freezing touch, a parching will Concealing lust, deafening shrill Oppressive rust, unceasing drill The fading trust, a dormant skill Slowly, in vain, You try to hide Your result of a torn spied conception The dreary cage that closes Your mind Against every form of perception Here, Your pride is confined Now, You've to fall on Your knees Recognize that everything is signed And sing by following these keys Slowly, in vain, You try to hide Your result of a torn spied conception The dreary cage that closes Your mind Against every form of perception

Closed in the sphere of consciousness Where the pressure of the oceans crushes As oppressive as Their thoughts Here, lies the flames of Our sense Who wants to follow Hold My hand tightly You can look down But Who falls is lost Fire becomes embers Embers become ashes The warmth of life, the breath of lies Frozen and extinct by darkness Flames consume desires Detection kills the vile Who tries to hide, Who tries to lie He will be taunted by the existence We have to dig in the Abyss Where Our eyes cannot see Nothing The solution through the Vow Near the ancient legacy of the Sun Fire becomes embers Embers become ashes The warmth of life, the breath of lies Frozen and extinct by darkness Flames consume desires Detection kills the vile Who tries to hide, Who tries to lie He will be taunted by the existence Who wants to follow Hold My hand tightly You can look down But Who falls is lost To discover that the question We have always made is wrong Mind, body, soul, spirit Life, unlife, everything, nothing

The Coward always tries to rise But His legs refuse to grow Path interrupted, His dream dies In the river of Death, in Its flow Weakness is a web for flies The wishes dance with the snow The mantle of the Heavens cries The winds of the perdition blow The shadow is full of spies Dress the color of the crow The reflection in their eyes What to keep and what to throw You stay focused on the skies Look if there are lights that glow How far, where are the highs? You will always stay below What is the prize And Who can know Blood is the price Till the Death's throe The shadow is full of spies Dress the color of the crow The reflection in their eyes What to keep and what to throw You stay focused on the skies Look if there are lights that glow How far, where are the highs? You will always stay below

A forced dial To disappear Priests defile The knowledge's spear Malicious guile The headway's weir Corrosive bile The envious ear Jealousy rile For Those who hear A narrow aisle A liar seer No innocent word has been said In that dark eclipse of martyrdom A burden held with avarice All for a disgusting rite Their faces are cadaverous Waiting the darkness of the night Their signs are cancerous Nothing and nobody is contrite No memory to the valorous No one takes part to the fight Submerged by the weight of the ocean The waters between Me and all sins I see no signs of motion No light touches Our skins What is the right place for devotion? A temple cannot contain the Eternal The heretic's commotion The human pact is ephemeral There is no solution The corruption is carnal Mortals have no power of absolution The help can only be external No innocent word has been said In that dark eclipse of martyrdom A burden held with avarice All for a disgusting rite Their faces are cadaverous Waiting the darkness of the night Their signs are cancerous Nothing and nobody is contrite No memory to the valorous No one takes part to the fight No innocent word has been said In that dark eclipse of martyrdom

From the beginning When the dance of the elements Has been allowed It was all so simple and beautiful It was so perfect The painting by the Father of the arts An eternal poetry The symphony of the existence There was no need Names and classes Series and numbers Kinds and races Entropy has become chaos Time has become fear Space has become distance The skies have become the past Change has become death Life and unlife The cosmos is a kingdom to You And You, illegitimate kings When You arrived Things You cannot see Nor to perceive, nor to thieve They started being ignored The Universe was so bright Now it is darkness, mystery Ridiculed by Your presumption Diminished by Your limitation There was no need Names and classes Series and numbers Kinds and races Entropy has become chaos Time has become fear Space has become distance The skies have become the past Change has become death Life and unlife The cosmos is a kingdom to You And You, illegitimate kings Are You also Made of the same Matter of which Everything is made? Dance of the elements The perfect painting An eternal poetry The symphony of the existence

You have arrived here after a long journey You have crossed the dark limit of the abyss You left everything that was yours But will You ask me the right question? What led Your brothers to madness My dark blood of ancient unlife Combined with stones, sand and water So, I have generated illogical structures Do You really want to try to give A name to all this? Do You really want to learn to see? Come and sing with Me If You really want to know Come with Me, follow My voice I will tell You the story And finally, You will see You will know You will feel You will be free You will live
