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

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’

Hymn of Surrender
04:42
|
|||
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

Come Rain or Shine
04:07
|
|||
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

Murder of Puppets

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
05:06
|

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

I Ain't Got The Blues
03:04

“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.

Orwell to Wells

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

A dog Called Freedom
04:20

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.
