The heart is a lonely hunter and it’s coming into town the heart is a lonely hunter tracing a bygone line The night of the hunter hopeless, lonely nights the cruel, desperate future banging in your guts The need for understanding and the search for love will haunt us forever and never let us go The heart is a lonely hunter it never stops it’s march all dressed in velvet colours loneliness behind The night os the hunter hopeless, lonely cries the crude, desperate future banging in your heart The need for understanding and the search for love will haunt us forever and never let us go Will haunt us forever and never let us go

Let the show begin Every window in display Times of staying low and try to plot the next moves This one is a hard one For the ones right below The hunger game have all begun Be prepared with arrow and bow If you had very little ,oh well You’ll even get less my friend Technocracy is here to stay and wash away your pride, your dignity all along ‘It’s juts another number for our data’ Excess of information floods our heads apocryphal or fake, who cares the panic is already spread the game is set Newspapers, social media Televisions, radios They’ve all contributed to spread the plot, the panic and lies There’s no need for the police People reporting other people for anything 1984 is here to stay The State protects your needs They really don’t give a shit If they can enrich their power, They will ‘It’s just another number for our data’

Bewildered with a strange delight I must’ve been dreaming I swear I recognize the site It’s fuzzy surroundings Have I been here? I might’ve been here before The silence was a deafening one a hymn of surrender the heady scent soaked the moss running all barefoot Have i been here? I might’ve been here before The shady colours turning bright in the sun Open holes inviting us to jump the clock is ticking but is there a real existing time? time travelling in a circular line woke up with a strange delight I must’ve been dreaming I swear i’ve seen it all before Maybe in another world

Yes my dear, i’ve been waiting all those years in vain it’s never easy to handle in my dusty sandals I’m ready to walk I’m ready to talk I’m ready to share the ride We ain’t got much time Yes my dear, i’ve been waiting so much for tears so much for those long and waisted years giving it all away But now it’s our time come rain or shine let’s go straight to the bottom line Before we loose our minds Bells are ringing we stopped believing that we could change somehow we fought against all odds fled the city and betrayed our Gods Started all over again in a pagan world we sheltered in our den until we could come out with the sunlight in our eyes But I know a place where we can be ourselves with no shame, just simply be… away from the overflowing life away from the corners of our minds Yes my dear, i’ve been waiting along with Didi and Gogo they seem to have lost their will and the struggle Not like Joan of Arc One life’s what we have we live it as we believe in living it! All battles are won in the mind Bells are ringing we stopped believing that we could change somehow we fought against all odds fled the city and betrayed our Gods Started all over again in a pagan world we sheltered in our den until we could come out with the sunlight in our eyes But I know a place where we can be ourselves with no shame, just simply be… away from the overflowing life away from the corners of our minds

Animal Farm 02:53
No weight can be relieved by disapproval The burden pushed us to walk around To become our own slaves without the old chain begging at the door of a farm How do we interpret rules & regulations Why do we censure our own opinion Why do we heal ourselves before we get hurt Why do we plead guilty before our own acts Information is not a sign of knowledge Knowledge is often used by the power The merciless power that bought wisdom Wisdom is not enough to defeat ( overcome?) fear No weight can be relieved by disapproval The burden pushed us to walk around To become our own slaves without the old chain begging at the door of a farm Don’t take on the blame that is not yours The screen won’t give you the longed solution In the animal farm not all of them are allies Don’t you always trust the hand that feeds us Maybe we ‘re just goods to be sold No weight can be relieved by disapproval The burden pushed us to walk around To become our own slaves without the old chain begging at the door of a farm

Keep them all in denial Overfeed ignorance Give them all they want Distract the mass with trivial demands Isolate you from the rest Intoxicate with American Dreams’ Feed their brains with worthless information problem, reaction , solution Intentionally degrading the service to justify the private, Privatization Treat the mass with childish eyes Neutralize the critical brain Numb the curious minds Undermine any intelligent fact Foster Indulgent people Reinforce self-guilt Gradually cut back your rights Segregate from the rest Let the blame fall into our heads Into our heads

You thought you could have it all and not pay back for all the wrong you’ve done You thought you could charm me you thought you could slip away at first light A glance in the mirror so old and weary no health or wisdom no peace or gratitude self-esteem and confidence cannot be raised by greediness loyalty and friendship are the key to self-respect Did you think you could defy me? Did you think you could buy them all back? Did you think you could deny me? Did you think you could redeem yourself this way? A glance in the mirror so old and weary no health or wisdom no peace or gratitude self-esteem and confidence cannot be raised by greediness loyalty and friendship are the key to self-respect

“Outside the night is trembling” CHORUS Brings a new beginning Words of hatred and violence With no purpose, no end and no meaning What’s the use of fighting If there is no sun rising But every change in history Brings a new beginning Words of hatred and violence Clashing with love and resilience Are heard on the news and the media With the sole purpose of spreading fear Divide and conquer they say, divide and conquer they say But out there the words of Love and tolerance are heard Out on the streets in our neighbourhood But a change is about to come To vindicate what belongs to her The waters will rise and the fires will burn every land This is the new beginning Nature claims what belongs to her The waters will rise and flood The worlds will start again In this land.

Flashbacks… Rain-soacked streets in the early morning Street lamps with shimmering halos Blinking flashing neon signs Cigarette smoke in the shadows A fatalistic look labyrinthine plot existencialist with a femme fatal Take me back, take me back to that old film noir Flashbacks… Memories and disguise Haunting charming songs are heard wide-angle lenses distorting faces Expressionistic nightmare Magic mirror maze shards of shattering glass love and hate tatoos Preaching psychopaths Take me back, take me back, to that old film noir Magic mirror maze shards of shattering glass love and hate tatoos Preaching psychopaths

What is it like to be an animal what is it like to be a bird flying high above the horizon running wild along the savanah What is it like to be a bird of paradise What is it like to be a rose showning love and new beginnings opening it’s flowers to freedom Coral reefs shaping tropical seas tides that rise and fall along the sea coast Rainforest around the equator giving birth to a diverse array of vegetation What is it like to be a blue whale what is it like to be an anemone Making sounds up to 1000 miles ways tentacles that paralyze their prey Wide oceans covering the earth mesmerizing creatures living down the sea bed Plant Earth millions of years old Giving birth to a diverse array of vegetation Once upon a time we were just animals in the chain of living creatures in this world but we thrived in a collective way into the abyss Learning how to speak about fiction and myth allowing us to imagine things creating wide communities into the abyss Into thin air……

Black Walls 04:03
Faith , faith , faith in what i want you to be Say, say , say what I want you to say Oh, have faith in me Say what I think Pay, pay, pay with the money I give So the debt , so the debt will increase Hail to the thief I dress myself in black, I live in black walls I take up the moon road Keep me in mind The engine moves my brand And you take care of it I come in and out Ans None knows me Stay, stay, stay in our charade Buy, buy, buy, money falls from the sky I can hear everything Eat, eat, eat all the junk i equip Because today, ‘cause today you feel free To eat shit Microphones gather my discourse Someone writes publishing at the same time The spider web pushes t keep save I just pay to be secure And you just watch over me

To the Sea 03:16
No, not dead yet just half broken crying out for change No, not smiling just not speaking we’re just stumbling Rather mumbling or half whispering somehow drowning from the weight of men No, not done yet I still have a lot to say in here Just half sleeping or half dreaming of a better place But still fighting keep on walking to that place we know keep on talking to me when we go down, oh down…to the sea Bedtime stories morning glories waiting for the sign Light a candle dance arround them ready for the deed.
