1. War Goes On

Time is not the cure for every kind of human mistakes
And there's no a commandment
XIXth century: the "British-Pax" was an illusion
'cause thy controlled all misery

They control, they control our voice: war goes on
They control, they control our choice: war goes on

Balcan question, under aggression
What about British-balance there?
Russian aggression, German domination
... what about crazy Italy?

They control, they control our voice: war goes on
They control, they control our choice: war goes on
War goes on, on our blood, on our broken cries
... on our fantasy, on our hands, on our little eyes

Four years to fight, four years to kill these guys
Four years to save their own economies
Four years to say: "German will pay"
The price will be another tragedy
One year to see Russian destiny
Became a new way of existence
One year to see the U.S.A. to be
A new balance of euro-system

They control, they control our voice: war goes on
They control, they control our choice: war goes on
War goes on, on our blood, on our broken cries
...on our fantasy, on our hands, on our little eyes

[Solo: D'Eramo]

Their control-point is invisible from here
Take a look behind you, they control you everyday

2. Twenties

Glorious victory of democracy, nothing now have to change
The French revenge is done, the "U.S.-PAX" will comes
Through dollars they have to loan for all

Now there are no more lines
Now there will be the ruin for all: 1929

1929: they've lost control
1929: the dream fall alone

Visions of misery: the western freelands of gold...
Meanwhile in Germany someone tell something strong
He knows in Italy another 'prophet of smoke'
A new idea to condemn the scapegoat

Now there are no more lines
Now there will be the ruin for all: 1929

1929: they've lost control
1929: the dream fall alone

[Solo: D'Eramo/Botti/D'Eramo/Botti]

The "west-coast" see the "east-ghost"
They need a wall to protect all
They need the outpost where now there
There is a weak... pawn: German pawn

Now there are no more lines
Now there will be the ruin for all: 1929

1929: they've lost control
1929: the dream fall alone

3. Outpost

"... There's no freedom without laws
In this land there's no control..."
In the middle of Europe
Once again they got destruction
Revolts have failed....
They need to transform the weak pawn in the 'outpost'

It will be the black wall of control
It will be the black wall

A new black, red, white flag and a rearmament
Of a nation that come back...
This is the new pawn of the control
For the west coast they call free

"... There's no freedom without laws
In this pawn there's no control..."
In the middle of Europe
They pay to build a new monster
Revolts have failed...
They need the black wall, fuck the freedom:
This is 'the outpost'

It is the black cross of the new ghost. It is the black cross

This is the new ghost of control
For the west coast and its gold
These are the new lands of brutality
But they don't see all this blood

[Solo: Botti/D'Eramo]

What's wrong? We have to stop the red advance
What's wrong? We have to build the new balance
What the fuck!? The Outpost signs a new deal
What the hell!? They don't believe it, they don't believe it

It means a new war, but they don't know
This is the last one for all Europe

4. The East-Ghost

The end of the Russian tragedy
Became in 1917 here
They cried for a lot of centuries
They obtain the final victory [x2]

Rescue them! Memory...
Rescue them!
They cannot hear you
Rescue them! Memory...
Rescue them!
They cannot hear you

Why is the black cross now you best friend?
Why do you sign this new deal?
Why don't you fight them?
Why don't you see the black cross is you enemy?

Rescue them! Memory...
Rescue them!
They cannot hear you
Rescue them! Memory...
Rescue them!
They cannot hear you

Why is the black cross now you best friend?
Why do you sign this new deal?
Why don't you fight them?
Why don't you see the black cross is you enemy?

They killed the first men, they're killing Trotzkij*
They killed the first men, they kill in Spain° now...

[Solo: D'Eramo]

[*Mexico City, august 1949]
[°1936/'39]

5. Das Kapital

Which is the way you kill 'em?
Which is the way you kill us?
Why do you need this blood now?
Why do you kill your son?
Sometimes I want you death
Another man needs your life
There is a conflict inside all our nations

Das Kapital
[J.B.:] This blood is what you are
Das Kapital
[J.B.:] Which is the god you trust?
Das Kapital
[J.B.:] This blood is what you are

They're fighting for the new lands
Is there religion or faith?
Their only god is "DK"
They've to remember...
They've to remember always
To say in this fuckin' fourties:
"You are the heroes, soldiers of our nations!"

Das Kapital
[J.B.:] This blood is what you are
Das Kapital
[J.B.:] Which is the god you trust?

6. Retreat '42

The deal is broken now
The black cross is falling down
Today to die it's easy there
In Stalingrad someone wins today

Too much the enemies
Too weak the other friends (shit!)
U.S.S.R. is coming here
In '44 is in Germany

The 'East-Ghost' now is alone
And they cannot believe it
And now it's taking control
They need to stop it

[Solo: Botti]

7. Weaknessphere

[J.B.:]
They want their blood
The blood of other innocents
There's no more time to hope again
Behind this war they know, nobody wins again

Blood call blood, no control, two destructions
Civil wars, nations call reconstructions
'43: Italy change direction
There's no hope, people call revolutions

[J.B.:]
They touch the freedom, they see the light
The black cross is next to die
They don't know that they are the instruments...

...to protect western lands from red "Bolshie"
Weaknessphere, now is clear, you're surrounded
Weaknessphere, uselessphere, we can tell you:
"Thanks a lot, the 'red-ghost' is our friend now"

Is our friend now
We need your division

Weaknessphere you're fall down
Weaknessphere you're alone
Weaknessfear pay your pound
Weaknessfear pay with us

Pay with us now
We need your division
Pay with us now
We need to take your control

[Solo: Petri Kusiisto]
[Clean solo: Botti]

8. The Plot Sickens

You killed in the name of freedom
You killed for the West of Europe
You killed for a new business-land
You win and now what do you pretend?

The plot sickens

They killed an ideology
They killed the truth, they killed the real things
Now they control the East of Europe
Now they condemn the revolutions

The plot sickens

Two worlds, two ways, two winners...
They play with the dust of there lands
They're building the new aggression
On the heads of the whole world populations
But your fire will be there against you
Lies of peace now begin to come true
Tell me how I can trust in your god
In your laws, in the proud of your new world

Romanticize these fucking lies, romanticize...
Their Christ's a killer

9. One Way Media

Now you can put these dreams
Up your big fuckin' asses
The lies you tell we don't believe
These children are your soldiers
These guys follow your way
The problem is: which is the way?

You gotta one way
You give us laws
You gotta one way
You kill us

The end of century, the end of tragedy:
Begin the new dictatorship
Too much to say it kill you?
Too much to say it sucks you?
Look at this generation fucked

You gotta one way
You give us laws
You gotta one way
You kill us

Our minds (... are the new game)
They control (... in this new age)
They call (... freedom this new choice)
We gotta one way (... the new line)

Bring the illusions, take new lies again
Feel the noise that helps you die
And take your daily dose in brain
Check it out now this new way

[Solo: Botti/D'Eramo]

10. Empire

[originally by Queensryche]

Last night the word came down, ten dead in Chinatown.
Innocent, their only crime was being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Too bad, people say, what's wrong with the kids today?
Tell you right now they've got nothing to lose.
They're building EMPIRE!
Johnny used to work after school at the cinema show.
Gotta hustle if he wants an education,
he's got a long way to go.
Now he's out on the street all day selling Crack to the people who pay.
Got an AK-47 for his best friend.
Business the American way.
Eastside meets Westside downtown.
No time the walls fall down.
Can't you feel it coming?
EMPIRE!
Can't you hear it calling?
Black man trapped again,
holds his chains in his hand.
Brother killing brother for the profit of another,
game point, nobody wins.
Decline, right on time.
What happened to the dream sublime?
Tear it all down we'll put it up again.
Another EMPIRE?
Eastside meets Westside downtown.
No time, no line, the walls fall down.
Can't you feel it coming? EMPIRE!
Can't you hear it coming? EMPIRE!
Can't someone here stop it...?

11. Few Words Again

Give me your idea, tell me your choice
Don't tell me: "...right now, I follow the line"
I don't believe in this world of lies
We breathe old air, maybe it will change...

Look at the future
What do you see?

Replacing all the ideas, we find an empty space
We need to take a new breathe, to go on everyday

Look at the future
What do you see?

[Solo: D'Eramo]

Will the balance of power, will the misery and the pain...
... solved?
... closed?
... forgotten?
Look at the future and...
Which is the price for the business?
What is this golden machine?
... violence?
... free-guns?
... new drugs?
Look at the future and...
Which is the price of the TV?
What is the new world you sell?
... other blood?
... other smoke?
... other spells?
Look at the windows and...
