Novembre Ursa 1. Australis Goddess of the Monsoons let me fly Mother do not throw our boat aside Clouds are all left behind Sailing through the wind, eyes open wide Taste of salt is in my hair A scare of light is in the air Leaves of silver pave the way Lights of nightmares finally fade Clouds of nightmares finally fade I’m obliterated away Finally ash is washed away Sailor’s wound bleeding out past winters I feel water crystallize in my winter Dreams are coming down To the foreign lands below And encrust the reasons and the pain along the way So listen now There’s no mercy around Rise your swords of feathers Step outside and fly away Out and fly away Mountains of art It’s like… you won’t believe it Temples enveloped in sand And seal your heart beneath it And you will keep it alive And you will keep it breathing And you will keep it alive Monsoons, Terra Incognita Trade winds, Terra Incognita Clouds are all left behind Australis Aurora 2. The Rose Eyes in this somnial night I know I own nothing I wanted nothing And I feel like I am The second son of your god Lifting lives away A lighthouse spins in your eyes Still I see nothing Waters of nothing I plant a seed in your garden Yet it grew nothing Thorns without roses But then I’m sorry for I have died Others were taken away Hostage of secrets of Aura Waters of nothing Dawn painted nothing I failed to sense the sign And died in the arms of Europa An anima astray for a long, long time I set our forest afire Broke the old promise Tore all the roses Became a symbol of violence In primordial noises Churches of noises And write a new song made of lightning From which we’re taken away I know it seems it’s all right While it was nothing lot worse than nothing At the bottom of the pond Is found a chest of science and gold A shell of glass, it means bad omen Find two and you’re blessed with grace The essence of the sea is provenance Watched by the wise old man 3. Umana There’s something in the fringes of your mind That keeps you up all night The Spirit of the Ages softly whispering in your head You’re out of your mind - it says the higher mouth As in this sorry nation two and two results in shame I’ve tried to confide in someone Find shelter from decay My hand leaned on someone’s To feel the acid in the taste But I’m not afraid And I’m not humane Our souls float, unaware of the scale of the awakening The fear is whole, consuming us through the crisis “The crisis - is a crisis in consciousness, a crisis that cannot any more accept the old norms. Man is still, as he was, brutal, violent, aggressive, competitive, and he has built a society along these lines” [Jiddu Krishnamurti 1966] 4. Easter Here in this shroud of light Centuries staring at me through the haze In a slow demise Lines of a song looking away In a slow demise In a low streaming of scent In a touch of Gloria I see your face Let’s have the night And drink from the chalice In rivers of Saturn Bodies pass me by from the tide In this sin A desire, pollutes the skies of the town Determines the upraising The oldest breach of the caste, roaring out loud Here in a shroud of fright Pages of madness staring at me Lines of a song atavic Veins of a son taken away In a slow demise In a low streaming of scent In a touch of Gloria I see your face 5. URSA The bear’s arms around me Am I an empire of sadness, and time The Ministry of Nowhere Declared me an apostate of State But I stole nothing, in a world of plague Is there a den to hide in, hide All this is sad and senseless Inside the barn, there’s a congress of ingenuous eyes The world I see is ending tonight, please stay inside Distance and ice in this animal sovietica Crawl to where the crow died. It kept the sadness alive For what? You thought your thoughts flew up there, to a just sky All this is sad and senseless All these years of snow and sleep perennial Mirrors of a sin aeternitas In a rainy Reich, mirrors of my losing of your hand If we’re to die you’re the one I’d rather be beside The world I see is ending tonight, please stay inside Listen, tonight you’re the one I’d rather be beside Don’t wanna see what happens outside, please stay inside 6. Oceans Of Afternoons Let’s just stay in this spot for a while Quite with the Sun at our backs As it ceases to bathe us A panorama of cyan And these senses enfolding the heart Slow as a flood of blue magma And deceiving the morning into night Spaces entwining with time And running far away And then I fled the world And then I failed the world An unrepentant world Here in a cinema of flowing time (of tomorrow) You gave me kisses of breeze and sky Sooner or later I’m coming back Finding all the things I forgot And reason why I got lost in this fog And running far away And then I fled the world And then I fled the world And then I failed the world And I’ll stay till the morning will come 7. Annoluce I used to come here Textiles all over, and lamps And colours of centuries flash from the stands Do not lose my hand now We’re in a tempest of sound Our stranger wind brought us here from afar A journey through lightning ending now A song made of light spreading around I just wanna end this ride That life has turned into this rusting pile of pipes Cos I believe that there is more than meets the eye In this script of anger Brought to tears until the Sun died And a journey through lightning ending now A song made of light spreading around A million eyelids closing down, A million eyes I saw the files that they have on me, I saw the chambers of new bright opinions they sewn in your flash I saw the files that she has on me, setting this astral conjunction against all the reasons and odds I used to come here Storms have swept it apart a swirl of memories hitting the land, with the wind and the sand Do not lose my hand now We’re in a ‘lager’ of sound Which brought us here in a light-year of bleeding and screaming and cries 8. Agathae [Song of mysticism, chauvinism and irrational homesickness] 9. Bremen “Something better than death we can find anywhere” We are cannon fodder A plastic bag on a shore flowing back and forth in a polluted shit of dawn ein, zwai, the leaders order the men to gloriously die ein, zwai, the leaders order their men to uselessly die With the weight of a ton in your heart, sick, we’re living our lives In a new epidemic of sorrow, everything is all right ein, zwai, the victims fall to the mincer of amnesia One by one, the victims leaving a helmet of nostalgia A repeating sequence Shadows in black and white Unending chronicles of époques lost in time And then a window hollow A Freudian scene An oceanic square with all my demons in uproar ein, zwai, the victims fall to the Winter of amnesia One by one, the victims losing their faith in God as they die Are those a village lights or are they stars? Are those the lights you brought me when I was beaten, fallen and drunk? Are those the sparkles of your eyes? Are these the borders of my time? 10. Fin Water that tells a life In a late November Two lithe figures descending a slope A sidereal evening 1979, you may have forgot I won’t be here too long I got a train to catch, I got a painting to draw, of me dying It’s hard to remember, you don’t deserve it Ever since the glass shattered into pieces of mind You won’t tell this story because it’s secret You’ll die with its key in your hand It’s time to verify the nature of our kind you’ll never find anything like us, alive Into this barren wasteland, we turned the Earth you fought in ashes all your life No sooner said than done And we’re there together On a rainbow made of dust, a route to follow Hallowed land tonight, that we reach together In a simpler way of life Solitude omen in the Day of Man Hidden in the viscera of the world You even feel its pulse under the granite surface of the Earth We’re walking towards the miracle of life Life is in the water, life is in the water Let me quench my thirst with your denial. And cries, the closure of all dramas, The elixir for the thirst of dying people of the land And lies, I’ve seen all kind of liars, I’ve been all kinds of misfits, for the sake of my survival 11. Venere Oh, you feel the night Dancing its soul all the way I’m gonna strip down the sky Of all its lies Where hopes are bred and thrown away Oh, you feel the dance Filling all the rivers and your veins Oh, you feel the dance Piercing through the withered yesterday Why did it have to die? Why did it have to die? When are you coming back? All you feel inside Is merely all the breathing universe All you feel inside Frees us from the famine and the pain Atomic dawn, In which you sealed the sound of your name You no longer swim in this sludge Why does it have to die? Why did you have to die? When are you coming back? 12. Negative Luna Cry, and cry, And doors in pitch dark hallways In gold and mesmerizing black In which you let us drown Chanson of the lonely ones And the Seventh is all through the weather Amber of a lonely star And your name is all through the weather You’re not the only one That this life threw aside and pulled under Yesterday is over now Bring your hands to the chest like a prayer Rays of the minor Sun like steel nails through the flesh Inverted thoughts they come In pale unwanted light In an absence, in a pale unwanted light Dying for the whim of negative Luna And, see, here we are, skiing on your favourite sensation Waves of sound that bring us to the sky Where I leave you as I’m pulled back down Sedna, torn and still alive Sedna, heart of soul alive Fabio Fraschini: Bass David Folchitto: Drums Carmelo Orlando: Guitars, Vocals, Keyboards Massimiliano Pagliuso: Guitars
