3 am (M/L: Capetto) Waiter come here, I need a beer in my hand I do wanna a glorious binge before THREE A.M. Take all my money, turn it into stupidity (You know) you do it so easily! A bottle of wine maybe red, maybe white... But, please, do not serve me that fucking shit of rosé! I'm warning you: before you close this bar I'll drink tequila in the jar! Oh! Hangover: I'll deserve you! Hangover: to never forget you With a love distilled drop by drop! Waiter! I wanna spit my brain Waiter! Come on and bring me another beer again... Waiter come here, I think I'm losing control Call the old maids 'cause I'm going commando! Tell James Burroughs, Mr. Daniel, “Señor Crow” They stole my soul! And every time you hear me scream It's a sign from my empty glass... Be a good boy, I promise to leave you a tip so fill it with some happiness! Hangover: I'll deserve you! Hangover: to never forget you With a love distilled drop by drop! Waiter! I think I'll spit my brain Waiter! Come on and bring me another beer again Waiter! I think I'm falling in a kind of trance Waiter! I'm really drunnk ennough to dannce Waeeter! Pleaasse call someoonne to takkee me hooomme W@yter! I doonn't wan*naaah sleeeep aloooneh! Nooott thh#hisss niiigg-ght! (And the night goes wild!)

A Spider in My Mouth 06:05
lyrics

A Spider in My Mouth (M/L: Capetto) The birds of hades had alighted On her shoulders once again Stealing all her sweetness and light At the point where the torture began The burden of loneliness To a saint about to fall Living inside an hourglass Where time eternally stands But it's not the same for all. They had buried crows alive As the demons who never grow old With cruelty through their lies They locked her in a cage of gold In a heart of solitude Silence comes when she would scream Embittered tears sprouting from her eyes Rolling down her skin With self-injuries. Rejected child without love Losing the brightness of her fate A silent mourning of a dove In a wood full of traps and snakes She was being sent to her death Silently, she could not cry And feeling guilty for her weakness Found a way to forget: She just wanted to die! She has a spider in her mouth I don't know, what can I do? Therefore I'm here and I need to ask: What would you do If you could walk in her shoes?

Gone away 04:51
lyrics

Gone Away (M/L: Fabregas) Deep dark orange, almost red How longer will light glow? Another dawn to say farewell Another morning tide will flow Stubborn ochre dazzling up at me That's all I got in sight Rubbed my eyes, trying in vain to see Perhaps the sky is too bright Whatever bears the sun is slumping now This very last light gloss is fading out Rage against the dying light of day But the light you saw today is gone away! Dusk mirrored in salt A little more darkness falls No blames, nobody's fault Let the sea forgive it all (You know) Sometimes a woman's heart has salt Sometimes there's too much blood Running blindly, moving by default Drags us like a flood Not with a bang but with a whimper now This city is not made to linger on Sinks like lead balloons on the surface In just one terrible night and day it's GONE AWAY!

Over the Bridge 07:25
lyrics

Over the Bridge (M/L: Capetto) Ghost of my sins Who lives in absence of light And makes the universe Grow inside my mind You make me tired Remind me of all I'm sick A monster above my bed In the lightness of my sleep I've crossed the river of my soul Over the bridge I've found no hope To let the fire burn the way Where life as an outsider is a game That I'll not play! This broken body hurts me In my mirror maze And all my scary dreams Wake me up from grace I try to wipe the dirt from my eyes to see... And try to understand: I'm my own enemy! Letting the sadness go Higher and higher Building the bridge across the night Shutting out whatever my heart desires Wondering about the clash between Body and mind No! I've crossed the river of my soul OVER THE BRIDGE I've found no hope To let the fire burn the way Where life as an outsider is a game That I'll not play! With the ghost of my sins Inside my mirror maze Reflecting through my eyes My own disgrace And this insanity is carrying me home and scaring me at home In the sleepless night I'm awake and fright Without hope... Don't leave me alone This body is not my home! Don't leave me alone This body is not my home...

Two Left Hands 05:47
lyrics

Two Left Hands (M/L: Capetto) Where the Gods give pearls to the pigs And the snakes cry because they haven't grown wings And the storks come to bring us to the grave And no one is allowed to rise on the third day They are looking at the problem with elephant's eyes Wishing we had the brains of rats They are the cancer of the cure And say they are our friends Yet they are killing us, accusing us Of being two left hands Don't be a being with two left hands! Where the wise are fools for keeping silent And idiots are hailed for not keeping quiet Spewing shit on our face while they eat fish eggs They who drink our blood to then piss black We should throw all our coins at them until they suffocate under the weight of their greed Death to all who make us believe We cannot give a damn Because we're all little men With two left hands Don't think you are a man with TWO LEFT HANDS! Don't shit in my mouth Fucking tie wearing Pig!

Poor Dear 04:39
lyrics

Poor Dear (M: Capetto, Fabregas/L: Capetto) Closed mind, I tell you what I see A uniform dressed as widow's weeds You dress yourself to kill your will every day In a constant repetition of the same Wolf of man as the lamb in the eye of the wolf! Each workday: Prostitution of your hope! Machine-man, just a number without a soul You know you are lost with your strength under control Ironically, you are a smiling citzen as a product who lives in society, competing with influences and defining some limits to preserve the individuality in a non-sense battle where you spent all your health to save a lot of money, and so spent all your money trying to recall your lost health, as the degenerated sub-product of your own way of life... Machine-man, with your sweat at a mere price You know you are lost 'cause you need to sell your pride Poverty is no crime, neither is immorality It's a lie what they told you about dignity Raise your fist and hit them with no remorse Raise your head with a fuck off to your boss! Machine-man, take back your life's way Machine-man your time has a price they will not pay POOR DEAR you're free when you feel you can live the day! So live the day! Live, yeah!

The Sty 04:50
lyrics

The Sty (M/L: Capetto) In the beginning Of the invention of man As the answer to a search I was the truth that wasn't there Lay down in my dark light I'll show what you shall see Preaching love, respect, forgiveness... Killing for morality! I'm the cage for your fantasies Guilt and shame on your wet dreams! You'll believe my words 'cause I'm The beholder of your life! Making in your conscience The most beautiful duel: Let me promise you a Heaven Let me take you to that Hell! Eve of seduction As the principle of pain I'm the golden eye of Christ Delivering Judas to betrayal... I'm the chain through your paradise The unloved fear that holds your mind I call sin what you call life The thorn that blinds your eyes... I'm THE STY!

Coventrate Them All 09:30
lyrics

Coventrate Them All (M: Fabregas/L: Capetto) Another evening in Godiva's garden When the “Moonlight Sonata” starts strikes in the sky Ablaze the spires, city set on fire More than 200.000 souls abandoned to die The Devil's victory over the Saint Sirens sound, the sound of sirens dies down To light the war after “bending the beams” Rise above a scene of devastation Bring the darkest hour in the Enigma Machine The ULTRA secret covering the math November, November! See the tragedy descending from the sky Remember, remember! Firefighters running under the moonlight Surrender, surrender! When the tears deliberately start to fall To coventrate them all Poorly defended against the aerial burial To totally break the morale of people there 500 tons of high explosive bombs Having a collective nervous breakdown every where The Pathfinders start total despair! Evilution in the Devilution The price they pay for the fall of the Reich Waves of bombers dropping tears of powder Knocking on the roofs a firestorm through the night Godiva, naked, ascending her horse November, November! See the tragedy descending from the sky Remember, remember! Firefighters running under the moonlight Surrender, surrender! When the tears deliberately start to fall November... November... Remember... Remember... Surrender... Surrender... Eleven hours in a stream of horror From seven to six with a massive air raid Fighting the fire, incinerated survivors And Godiva cries for the undefended damage Destroyed people more than walls! Another morning in Godiva's garden And the trumpets of Death just had stopped crying Fire without water, smoke in every corner But between the ruins a will is alive To build the Garden of Remembrance November, November! See the tragedy descending from the sky Remember, remember! Firefighters running under the moonlight Surrender, surrender! When the tears deliberately start to fall And coventrate them... And coventrate them... And COVENTRATE THEM ALL!
