1. Waiting For The Dawn

2. Perfect Smile

Sorrow
Entering another day
Hollow
Why do you have to pray,
to cry and damn me,
to say I need you
How misleading!

Hate
Just let me run away
Don't even try to deceive me
I thought I need you
Don't shine your eyes
I cannot stand what you say!

Deep inside me
I grab my soul
to stand the emptiness
of the space around me.
Coloured landscape
Such a falsehood
now turning to black and white...

I'm searching for darkness
and loneliness here
hoping to find out myself again.
I still perceive you
your whispers inside
misting my view on the elected way.

Just free my dreams now
I could finally feel
myself beside

No more chances,
no way out,
you should know those rules by this time.
Hiss your hate please,
I've chosen my way
and won't turn my steps anymore!

I climbed convictions,
I'm on the height now,
since I can see it
how joyful I feel.
My eyes are sensing,
my mind can look outside
and this prejudice wall
will be finally broken.

Deep inside me
I've found my way
I stood the emptiness,
the rebirth of my soul.
Old grey landscape
far from me behind
A shiver is crossing my spine,
I'm tasting the perfect smile!

3. Life

"Life,
life is the most enchanting gift you have"
you said to me when I was crying
and I felt your embrace
hearing your sweet voice
and soon my tears were dried out from my eyes.

In moments of deep uncertainty sometimes
you asked me to be your confidant
and I saw your face
smiling back at me,
your genuine and loving way of caring.

How can you feel
when there's nothing within
the clearest of your dreams?
You've been misled,
so wake up, wake up my friend!

Born in times of distress
you quickly grew up,
found your love so young, so adored;
spent your days making plans,
untiring and bright,
hoping for a chance for your family.

No wish fulfilled but no regrets at all,
no way to escape from your last intent.

How can I feel
when there's nothing I own
to comprehend your world?
Now I feel weaker,
so help me, help me my dear!

Waiting for sleep
I close my eyes and whisper to you,
as I call your name I draw relief
and it seems you're here again,
I can hold your hands in mine.
Listen to me, I'll let you know
how I fear to lose my memories,
how I miss you... I miss you so much!

4. Hopeless

Empty piece of paper,
fragments of my mind,
through the earnest way I lived
since I was a child.
Now I need an answer,
no one understands.

The meaning of life
is clear no more,
I see no reason to carry on.

Into the dark this instant
close to my last breath,
thinking of the right means
to take out this inner death,
I confide in my faith,
strange, it seems so vain.

Despair surrounding
has left me hopeless
there's only one escape I know (tempting)

Resigned I'm ready to get in touch
with nameless fright,
to let the cold everlasting come to me!

I trust in you
my only friend,
please keep my memories
safe till my end.
I took my choice (you were free)
I know the consequence,
now I wait...

"You poor being,
I sense your distress,
your intellect is undervalued.
I have your answer,
admiration for a lifetime,
my proposal you cannot refuse..."

Is now this chance
you're giving to me
too real to be a dream?
From this time on
I've nothing to lose
until I meet you again!

Goodbye my friend,
my fate is done,
forgive my flaw
don't cry when I'm gone.
My path will lead (to the end)
to what I'm looking for,
but this deal
has the highest price.

5. Cold Embrace

Silent,
approaching while I'm sleeping,
you take my hands in tears
so sweet.

Gentle,
your smile instilled with sadness,
I hear your soundless voice
so close.

You felt my deepest hurt
now you heal my soul,
taking your last caress
I can find a shelter to recline.

Lovely,
you fascinating angel,
your eyes relieve my
anxious mind.

Listen,
my breath is growing faster,
until I reach the end
of pain.

Lost in your cold embrace
I'll perceive your light,
burning my life inside
you will see my fire fade away.

And it seems so unreal
while you give me your love just one time,
as I lose my last drop of strength
you bring me what I did not dare to find.

6. The Never Ending Illusion

Mirror
in the first light,
leaves of shadow
slowly fade.
Wake up
every morning,
find your treasures
by your side.
No stain in your existence,
not a suspect veiling your self-esteem,
looking through the glass.

Hollow hours waiting for a trace,
a sign to follow endlessly.
Stillness blinds your consciousness,
you're wearing a hidden disguise.

Here you lie in this never-ending illusion,
no way to escape.

Slowly your thoughts twist inside your head,
revealing tension pervading your life in every day.
Confusion, deception.
Now release your senses and begin to scan your memories.

You've lost your youth, lost your innocence,
can't you feel your reason falling down?
Every step sounding like the same,
in the mirror your disguise disappears.

In your gaze you find what you never supposed to be,
search for the truth deep within.

Dim the light and suddenly open your eyes,
touch the glass imprisoning your sight,
take care of every little break you perceive,
don't surrender to this hopeless dream
never-ending,
hanging over you.

Try to defy the lies overwhelming your mind,
force the bounds imposed on your will,
inside the gates of illusion don't stare
through the windows set along this wall
never-ending,
as it falls on you.

Now you rest in silence embraced in a quiet sleep,
the glass is broken,
you know there's a new chance to wake.

7. The Dancers

Resolute steps sound,
a man is aware of them,
he's proud of his life
all spent betraying himself.

With no remorse hides
his heart from his own mind,
fateful omissions
and now back home again.

Cold breath,
twilight,
come near
sad eyes.

Can you hear them?
They are trying to show
some reflections
of you dressed by guilt.

The sudden dance
shakes down the shrine
and steals your mind.
Unfair judge, look around:
it's you, your love,
our faith so sworn,
the spells you've never cast.

It's time right now,
dance with us,
put your pride away!
We are the dancers
you must free us from this shifty cage!

Cage – help – free

About to fall,
to rise your eyes,
a light ray shines,
the steps freeze,
no way out from here.
A new day dawns
to teach new lies,
the jailer of your soul.

9. A Journey To Myself

Just left the station early in the morning
Cradling noise keeps me quite awake
Tired eyes gently hurt in the light of dawn

Here's the first tunnel through the hills
I'm trying to fight back the sleep

I see my face inside the glass
The image blends with my remembrance
Sudden as a wave the dark wall starts to fade
And lets me wander through my past

Hidden inside my mind it's me I have to find

My sight is tied to this window
The fast flowing view holds me hypnotized
No landscape, I can recognize the scenes I lived before
They're guiding me back once more

It's dark again, the second one
Now I fall deeper into my sensations
and each time I look throughout the glass
I recollect the pieces of my memory

Mistakes! I've made...
Repair! I swear...
Just learn! This flight is giving me the right sense of my life!

My sight is tied to this window
The fast flowing view feeds my consciousness
No landscape, I can recognize the scenes I lived before
I'm learning to know myself

Reaching the end of this journey
I cannot forget my experience
Now I have the chance of perceiving
every trace of dream that's rushing in front of my eyes

10. Mare Di Stelle

Mare di stelle
sul tramonto di questo lungo viaggio,
dolce accarezza la memoria mentre ti stringo a me.
Tra le tue braccia portami con te,
presto ritornerò.

Voci lontane,
sul mio viso scendono gocce di sale,
corrono i miei passi sulla terra che non toccavo più.
Il suo profumo si diffonde in me,
sfuoca la nostalgia.

Ritrovo qui le antiche immagini
così cambiate negli anni ormai,
non trovo chi mi ha visto crescere,
smarrita la realtà,
sogni tornate da me...
