the messenger
05:23
|

|
I am the wind, I blow, I sing
between the valleys of dreams
Chorus : upon the mountains, across the seas
sovereign of earth, something you couldn’t see
messenger of bad news, full of ghosts and souls
when I’m angry, I spit what I’ve swallowed
bringing rain, drought, heatwaves
freezing in north, burning in south
Chorus
leaving wrinkles on woman faces, supplier of human diseases
I whistle to get the men mad, then I leave, I leave them sad.

high level of bullshit
04:29

well I will take some more time to tell you what’s on my mind
get your two ears wide open, I don’t give a shit about your concern
don’t wanna hear your opinion, your speak is shit, you talk too loud
don’t even stand in front of me, I will loose my courtesy
chorus : I’m gonna crush your face, cos’ you take too much place
erase you from the earth, stop time before your birth
disrespect is what you represent, you live for yourself with your own brand
look around, you’re not alone, you don’t use the perfect tone
chorus
this is what you are, this is what I’m not
shut the fuck up and go back to your flock
say no more words, hold on your mouth
do you know respect and humility ?
do you know this word called empathy?
altruism is not your philosophy
you think you are smart, you think you’re clever
your knowledge is small and will be forever.
you’ll regret it some day, get the fuck away!

melancholy bridge
07:08
|
|||
|
a rainy day, wet and grey
stay or move, time to choose
I feel so down, crawling on the ground
try to escape from madness
gathering my strength, gathering my mind
I come from depths, deaf and blind
I am cold with sweating hands
legs shivering, difficulties to stand
Chorus : today, I’ll cross the melancholy bridge
a long trip from dark to light on cold steel
not shure to be able to reach the end
I’ll do it alone, don’t want any help
step by step, escaping traps
a rebirth, beware of gaps
hearing the call of the black river
telling to jump and joining her
|

we as smart as we are
05:29
|
|||
|
factories smoke in the air
tons of plastic in the seas
barren grounds melting ice floe
we killed millions of animals
we did it well with our verve, face disaster when it’s too late
chorus : we as smart as we are
eating strawberries in winter
filling up our lives with useless things
take a plane at any time
driving three cars, lightning the night
mother earth says : save me or die with me

pieces off me
06:04
|
|||
|
let me talk and say things about me, I’m getting old and soon my place will be free
vanishing a little bit more each time bad news appear
loosing parts of the puzzle of my life, hope becoming fear
Chorus: pieces off me, made from others, my philosophy
pieces off me, things leaving me, memories for free
family, rock music idols and movie stars gave me a sense of humour, inspiration and strength
helping me to growing up as I remember so far
brick by brick, with passion, I built myself at length
Chorus
mum and Dad educated me to be a good boy, a good boy
my two older brothers showed me how to escape from rules, bloody rules
too much friends on the other side, I’ll join them afraid of this ride
becoming a ghost and disappear, I come to you, say welcome my dear
I need to hold you in my arms, sharing love, sharing fear, sharing words and laugh again
as we once did and talk again like good old friends

ode to the elite
04:11
|
|||
|
best education with perfect rules
always the first at the highests schools
ain’t no bastards, ain’t no suckers
ain’t no fuckin’ place for fuckin’ loosers
chorus: born selfish, born conceited, treacherous
arrogance fits you anyway
born selfish, born conceited, treacherous
you show your scorn every day
continual ascent to the highest step
mum and dad worry about the rest
what do you want in your stupid life?
a nice car, a big house and a brainless wife
chorus
money is your god, you want it bright
money is your sun, you want it shine
business your pleasure, business your pride
drive by greed and avarice

back from the hereafter
04:36
|
|||
|
on my way to heaven, disapearing piece by piece
I’ve heard you scream at night, crying in your sleep
you called me so loud, repeating my name again
you called me so loud, I feel so much pain
chorus: coming back to you, a task I have to do
support you in distress and clean up all this mess.
lying next to you, you won’t realize it’s true
may be stay one more day, later go back to my way
living with memories, living with a ghost
I worry about your health, it seems it’s getting worse
do you feel my breath ? my presence still around ?
a guardian angel from the underground
chorus
lying next to me, one hour, a day a week
please stay one more day, later go back to your way

mantis religiosa
04:23
|
|||
|
dressed in black, no make up. always by my side, you won’t give a break
clutching my hand, leading my life, chasing me for days and nights
Chorus : you’re a princess, you’re a queen
you’re a vampire, you’re a witch
remember me bad memories. talking about my dreadful dreams.
sniggers and laughs, feeding my fear. teasing my unease, you know my disease.
Chorus
I swear I’ll hang myself to hang you. I swear I’ll burn myself to burn you
I swear I’ll drown myself to drown you. I swear I’ll kill myself to kill you

I'm against it
04:54
|
|||
|
it’s never happened since the beginning of the world, there’s some equality
vice in our minds pushes us to get richer, what a stupidity!
war, starvation and corruption, they add some poverty
how many have to pay the price of human cupidity ?
Chorus : do you believe their lies ?
don’t wanna hear what they have to say, it makes no
difference anyway
no matter what it is !
let’s have a thing understood, propositions are far from
good
I’m against it, I will break it, I’m against it, I will fight it.
authority, supremacy need, always chasing the total power
new faces of tyranny, under the hoods of democracy
maintain famine and civil wars, constant oppression on this earth
hidden and sly colonization from a country to the rest
|

primal catharsis
06:44
|
|||
|
don’t hide yourself, be proud of what you are
life’s a struggle, life is a fight, even a war
try to be strong in the face of adversity
purging the self of difficulties
chorus: advices were false, warnings not big enough
your own choices, your own thoughts
and push the anger out
step out the line, say no to orders
accomplish yourself, don’t mind the talk of others
sensitive, easily swayed, joining the bad guys
raise the chin, open your eyes to better signs
chorus
the spiritual catharsis happens at deeper levels
purging the self of difficulties
toxins and traumas
accumulated in the course of life
