DRASTIC LYRICS

1. Stream Of Unconsciousness

Welcome to the stellar nightmare
Of a timeless creature...
...Welcome to my world

"I told my love I told my love
I told her all my heart"
(William Blake)

I loved you just for my pleasure
Trembling eyes of desire
Taking your deepest treasure
Your blood set me on fire

...Would you dance
With me again?

You,
My silly creature,
You were dancing
Only in your mind

Oh, your mind
Was so pure
Was so stainless,
But now...

Pensiero

Pensiero
Domini tutto
Il mio corpo
Ti adora
Vile usurpatore
D'istintiva
Saggezza...

Goddess of imagination
Goddess of one thousand suns
Why did you betray me?
Why did you betray your darling son?

2. Unearthly

Come inside,
My dreams are thine
And flow inside
My womb is thine...

You come from unknown planets
Bringing deadly sonnets
Messenger of fear
God and death are here

Children born by cosmic madness
Mutant creatures bound to sadness
Horror shows are here performed
Monsters - human flesh deformed

Dark the light
That feels my eyes
And dark the night:
The moon won't rise...

"I am in thee to save thee, as my soul in thee saith;
Give thou as I gave thee, thy life-blood and breath,
Green leaves of thy labour, white flowers of thy thought,
And red fruit of thy death.

Be the ways of thy giving, as mine were to thee;
The free life of thy living, be the gift of it free;
Not as servant to lord, nor, as master to slave,
Shalt thou give thee to me."
[Algernon Charles Swinburne]

GRIGIE EMOZIONI CELESTI

Scorrono dentro me mille voci bianche
Vibrano intorno a me in cerca di una rima
Dolce musica che dura un istante
Vita senza un perchè, sola piû di prima
Nascono come noi, grandi gli occhi neri
Amano se lo vuoi, vita del mio ventre
Sognano come noi, vedono i pensieri
Da un mondo dove non Õ, chi non Õ per sempre

My child...
...Unearthly

3. Idle Worlds

"Astri
di luce argentea,
ultimi tasselli
di un oscuro
mosaico
chiamato notte".
[The Thistle]

4. ...By Untrodden Paths

"The time has been, when yet the muse was young,
When Homer swept the lyre, and Maro sung,
An epic scarce ten centuries could claim,
While awe-struck nations hailed the magic name:

The work of each immortal bard appears
The single wonder of a thousand years

Empires have mouldered from the face of earth,
Tongues have expired with those who gave them birth,
Without the glory such a strain can give,
As even in ruin bids the language live".
[George Gordon, Lord Byron]

You keep the secrets of the night
In the deep blue of the sky
I want to cry
No more rain - I die...

We were the prophets of mankind
We were the poets of the light
Now darkness shines
Blind your eyes and...

You keep the secrets of my life
In the deep blue of your eyes
Everything dies
I just want to cry...

We shared the knowledge with the sun
But our message now is gone
Time runs too fast
Everything is lost...

DALLE CENERI

Dalle ceneri di questo
insipido mare
nel non ricordo
delle eroiche
gesta antiche,
Torneremo
ad essere grandi
dove nessuno
Õ mai stato,
a risplendere,
dove la luce
finora
aveva soltanto
albeggiato.
Come la luce
finora
aveva soltanto
distrutto.

And here we go...
...We're prophets reborn!

5. Sringjail

"Beauty is truth, truth beauty - that is all
ye know on Earth, and all ye need to know"
[John Keats]

Leave me alone
Let me starve in sadness
Leave me alone
I'm not crying...

Leave me alone
All this world is madness
Leave me alone
I am dying...

God can take your soul
And burn it...
I can steal it
And return it - to you...

Hope now is gone
Buried in my eyes and
Thy will is done
Can't you see it?

Youth now is gone
Is there truth in beauty?
The last time I sang
You were laughing...

Nature shaped your body
And formed it...

I will waste it
And deform it - so you...

Rise, and smile, pray
Leave your dreams behind
Rise, and leave your flesh
In this world

I'll never see you again
In this mortal spoils

And the voice I worshipped?
I'll hear it no more

I'll never see you again
In this mortal spoils

The voice I worshipped?
Silence at all...

Will this spring
Last forever?

GHIACCIO SAPORE AMARO

Ghiaccio Sapore Amaro
circondarsi di creature
sotto le voci incerte
di una morte primaverile;
un letto di dolore,
fruscio avvolgente,
la terra mi accoglie.

Life will drift away
Into another place

Turning into dust
Future, present, past

Morning lights and stars
To shadows of the dark

Slaves of memories,
We're leaves of unknown trees.

6. Blue Light Prisoners

I ride
A beast in the sky
Your innocent face
Your wonderful eyes
Possessing you
My blood will seize
A holy place
To worship
The pride of the night
Mysterious god
You keeper of storms
The essence
Of power and might

"My dear
After all
These years
My faith
Is still
Blind"

I saw the light
Deep...Deep...

I loved these lies
See...See...

The words of god
Hear...Hear...

"The taste
Of these
Dreams
This blue-light
Is simply
Divine"

L'UOMO CHE SOFFRE

Solo ora
se ti puoi sedere
quË accanto,
la mia storia
sfiora
l'innocenza
delle tue parole
ne proferisci,
eppure ascolti
ciÐ che ti dice
la mia bugia
e sai,
tu lo sai che mento,
voraci artigli,
la presa facile
mi stupisce,
una belva,
nella notte piÛ scura,
trascina verso
le mie braccia
l'ansimante
brama di destino,
vita di perdono,
quale sommo mistero
del nostro comunicarci,
col mondo,
questa terra fredda
che dove si getta,
nel mare
delle tempeste
Õ ghiaccio
e ricopre
come mai
tu potresti
l'inconsapevole
ipocrisia
dei miei sguardi,
delle luci che
un fuoco qua e lÞ
della mente mia
fanno dimora.
Sognano
se potessero
dal blu, light-blue,
passare nel rosso,
giallo,
poi via,
verso il cielo
come le forze
che ci inchiodano,
angeli senza ali,
all'irrequietudine
del nostro silenzio.

Di giorni,
mattinate interminabili,
Õ dunque di sera
che siamo onesti,
permettendo che
si rifletta,
quest'immagine
stravolta
delle nostre paure,
che vada,
aperta da chi la vede,
nelle nostre insensate
conversazioni
c'Õ la noia,
mentre schiere
di mammiferi
subacquei,
nel blue,
intenso come
le lacrime
di un non-bambino,
saltano tra le onde
il pasto
che avrebbero potuto
squartare;
il sale
negli occhi
brucia
la gola
che ha sete
ha visto
nascere
dodici nuove speranze,
nel mentre
di una nuova
stagione.
Nella carne
di un uomo
che soffre.

"Then all the charm
Is broken, all that phantom-world so fair
Vanishes, and a thousand circlets spread
And each mis-shape's the other".
[Samuel Taylor Coleridge]

7. Two Infinities

TUTTO SI DISSOLVE

Tutto si dissolve
in un'unica pace
distesi allo sguardo
cadendo sorpresi
i giorni passati
sono la luce.

Fallin' down - Cadendo Sorpresi
Future and past - I Giorni Passati
Space and time - are one...

Dream, reality - so what do you see?
Flesh, virtuality - tell me what you need...

Two infinities
Lies and truth in me

Fate, duality - do I live for thee?
What's my destiny - no, I cannot see...

Two infinities
That's just you and me

I'm diving
In my tears' ocean
Leaving a world
Cannot give me emotions

I dive - I want to dive
To see and touch

I dive - I want to dive
To see and come

I want to
Dive, see and come...

...Inside you

Light & Perfection
Chaos & Disorder...

...Dark delights

"Wiecznosc przed nami i wiecznosc za nami,
a dla nas chwila miedzy wiecznosciami"
[Jan Sztaundynger]

8. Voyage Dans La Lune

..."Az tu naraz w srodku nieba
Ksiezyc zjawia sie przed niemi,
Ze sto razy chyba wiekszy
Niz ten, Ktory widac z ziemi..."
[Julian Tuwim]
