2. IN NEED
(Music by O999, Lyrics by Angeli & Crotti)
Try to tell me in your hour of need
All of the feelings that now make you bleed
Instead of locking up the ghost of doubt
A troubled peace, somehow...
Somehow the wound's still open
Within a tear a trace of blood
So what it takes to bleed again?
Nothing but a single nail
Well-thrust in the skin
You're confined
In a desert of remorse
Hiding in the corners of a psychological maze
No way to escape but to fire again
An outburst of rage
Can't avoid it
...and the line still safe, this time
Ashamed and feeling guilty
Behind a barricade of pride
Better to keep up the resistance
Than to face the storm of life
This makes you crumble
This makes you fall apart
To weave on a wire
By our limits drawn tight
Afraid to close your eyes and dive
A human desire
The need for a grip
A fragile safety... until the wire breaks
Spit a bullet
From your mouth
Words are razors
Do you see the scars?
When all the ties will be torn asunder
Who will be there to soothe the demons in you�
The anger in you?
...and the line stays safe, another time
An assumed certainty becomes a xenophobe seed
Resist the need for a change, it is the real enemy
This makes me crumble
This makes me fall apart
To weave on a wire
By our limits drawn tight
Afraid to close your eyes and dive
A human desire
The need for a grip
A fragile safety... until the wire breaks
Won't you leave me be
As I am
As I'll always be
Can't change what I see
It's not me
It's not me who's wrong in this
Moved by deepest sympathy
A yearning painted in colours once seemed just mine
The need to write this song to you
For my loneliness is thine
There are things that never change
There are things that never change
There are things that never change
There are things that never change
This makes us crumble
This makes us fall apart
...and the line won't stay safe all the time
The advent of dark seasons
Gets you naked 'fore the facts
Will you call for a rebellion?
Will you silence it again?
Don't shut the door
Just come over it
Won't you help me be
What I am
What I want to be
Sweetest change it feels
It was me
I'm no longer wrong in this

3. NEWEST ERA
(Music by O999, Lyrics by Angeli & Crotti)
New turn, a new life?
The difference is just in details
Collect new sources, new dead end ways
Inane makeshifts to flee them all again
But would you dare to stare into my eyes
To see all the misery I have inside
To face a failure you could never deny
You'll find no pity in the mirror I hide
And I dance
Under the moon
Under the blinding flashlights
Of a crowded road
Alive, awaiting
The closing of renewal
Recovering a long gone unity
To wash it clean
The dust laid on my scars
Taste deception (you give, you take) and its acrid scent
Taste the rapture in the ocean of chance
Taste the haunting depth of nothingness
Sham is this taste of omnipotence
And as the wanderings of our rotten times
Leave only pills, our sorrow to synthesize
Between a borrowed will and a roll of the dice
A honesty I still can't define
And I dance
Under the moon
Under the blinding flashlights
Of a crowded road
Alive, awaiting
The closing of renewal
Recovering a long gone unity
To wash it clean
The dust laid on my scars
A roar in the indigo night
The sound of darkness breaking
Is it the dawn of a newest era
When all the clouds come out of sight?

4. NEON TRAILS
(Music by O999, Lyrics by Angeli & Crotti)
Dots of flickering red light
Drops hide the city from view
The deafening trickle pierces the head
No warmth comes from the neon firelights
Glazing eyes in bodies that sway
With souls so damp, heavy as lead
All clashing in the same tune
Back to the index >>
5. SCATTERED ATOMS
(Music by O999, Lyrics by Angeli & Crotti)
Withdraw the forces
Years in between let grow
Try now to find out
The meaning of it all
You ask for silence
But the hurlant crowd goes on
Thousands of thoughts scream in your mind
Perceiving all but the cause
Menace of warfare
A huge mass suicide
An order to be defined
A battlefield inside
There must be something
Out of this mess we can't control
The chain reaction goes on
And we perceive all but the cause
Universal entropy in increase
Human disorder in increase
In an eyeblink we'll all be divided
By enormous distances
Scattered atoms now unable to be bound
We drift away, relentless
Displayed resources
Unequal standards set
Ahead in progress
It's forbidden to look back
Each process has consequences
That can't be completely reversed
Each action done leaves traces
That cannot be erased at all
Universal entropy in increase
Human disorder in increase
In an eyeblink we'll all be divided
By enormous distances
Scattered atoms now unable to be bound
We drift away, relentless... now
A power does not exist
An order does not exist
Logic does not exist
The meanings do not exist
We don't exist anymore...
...even if we believe it still
For we, the bastard sons of a dying world
Still claim our dignity
Unaware of being endlessly
Condemned just to be free
Condemned just to be free
Condemned just to be free
Withdraw the forces
The battle's heading on
Wait for the collapse to come...

6. THE WORLD RUNS FASTER THAN ME
(Music by O999, Lyrics by Angeli & Crotti)
Like a wind that grazes the skin
Piercing eyes and biting deep
Like a fiery beast on the prowl
Limbs that shine, none in mind but to devour
The world runs faster
The world runs faster than me
The world runs faster
The world runs faster than me
Like a torch lit in a barren soil
Soon to gather and raise the turmoil
Leaving behind all the nameless ones
Who long in vain that a revolution�s gonna come
The world burns faster
The world burns faster than me
The world burns faster
The world burns faster than me
And I'm dying faster
Clung to these walls I'm losing grip
Always lagged after
A modern Sisyphus
Disarm all my defences
Unfold all the scars of mine
Throw down untimely burdens
I just want to face the sickness grown inside
In days of discomfort
When apathy is just a tear away
Will I hold on
Enduring the blasts of this blizzard storm?
Like a child moaning in the night
To algid stars so dumb and bright
Clouded by vows of bliss and fame
Stumbled on latent warnings of decay
The world cries louder
The world cries louder than me
My bitter laughter
No one will ever hear
Smash up my face in anger
Tear it open one more time
To hush all frantic voices
I don't wanna hear anything outside
In days of abandon
When apathy is just a drink away
Will I hold on
Enduring the blasts of this blizzard storm?
Slipping on the way paved by my forerunners
And sowing the seeds for my second age psychoses
Deny all the deniable
I'm fucked up by all these lies
With all patience exhausted
I give up to understand what others try
It's days I'm hopeless
And apathy never goes away
Will I hold on
Enduring the blasts of this blizzard storm?

8. PEARLED OF MORNING DEW
(Music by O999, Lyrics by Angeli & Crotti)
Rapid as the rush of clouds over my head
Rabid as the cold air sliding in garments, secretly
Whims of fortune, winds of sybilline destiny
Feeble spring, your opaque sky so deep
Bursts of new energy, he's indifferent still
Swept away with the tide
Pieces of the wreckage of my life
Come along with the tide
Golden sand from a dreamlike world to come
March flower pearled of morning dew
Greets the faltering rays of dawn
Marked on its crown
The traces, the yearnings
The torment of the latest frost
Arcane whispers again unravel one by one
And pluck each single chord of my soul
In a transient freedom song
So let it stay
Let me change
Long gone shivers come again
What will be
What I long to be
Out of the night I come
And these times I (just) catch myself
Running after and away
To what or whom
From what or whom
None other than myself
These times my mind roams free
My body's overrun
And I still lose my breath
Another step away from death
Let it stay
Let me change
Long gone shivers come again
What will be
Won't deny my dawning wish
Out of the night I'll come
Pearled of morning dew

9. APRIL EVENINGS
(Music by O999, Lyrics by Angeli & Crotti)
So April came and the rain never seems to end
Digs a hole to throw deep down all the things I can never share
Peels the layers of my ego, strips me naked to the core
Melts away the castles of salt grown upon my back
So April came, now a scent of change fills the air and I
Weave, a feather in the breeze, demons soothed, demons free
And I feel I don't need anything
And there's still something I miss
Growing tears filling the eyes, as I speed forth
On mistery evenings realize just what it's worth
To let it out, let all the frailties seem undone
But am I stronger than before?

10. THE MAY VERTIGO
(Music by O999, Lyrics by Angeli & Crotti)
Break of the sun
Through my window pane
Another morning brings new cares
Another daydream lets them fade
Need to paint a hero
On the mirror I'm staring at
Need to fix some doubtful reasons
For the ground's still shaking
Before a dazzling horizon, the edges blur
(And) The flourishing in May feels so warm
I cannot endure
Mesmerized, I wonder how it will be
Where am I bound, what is my aim
And this vertigo takes me away
A scorching summer coming soon
The edges defined
While sunlit fields entwine
With a bronzed sunset
I hover on fairy golden streets
A silent glance at my inner land
Am I reaching out for the truth?
Will I keep what once was there?
Bound to the shape of loss and gain
My heart my home, everything is still
The latest rain filled up with blue
Brought new seasons, and life's sprout disclosed
In shining bloom
I devoured the scent of a million starlets lit for me
The purest things, they always leave
Leaning back to linger a little more
On the plain ground opens the void
A sense of freedom
A sense of loss
The May vertigo
We're all stardust
And in a glance remembrance finds the way
Of days when the yearn for what could never be
Made my day
Hanging for afternoons from wake to sleep
Nightmares of angels haunting me
I feel those days are true
Treasures kept in here
A sense of freedom
A sense of loss
The May vertigo
We're all stardust
Back to the index >>
11. MOMENTUM
(Music by O999, Lyrics by Angeli & Crotti)
- Movement -
Tasted renewal filled with doubt
Through melancholy and delight
All elation dissolved
And I, left behind as a stone dragged ashore
Wait for answers never found
They're coming dead on time
And, oh, this sultry air just makes me choke
The city drains me as a magnet
Sucking all the force
I cannot rest, not a minute
Not a moment reassured
It's bewildering
Worn out and tired, seized with lust
To reach some tranquil shores, to feel the heat of a drier sun
I catch a train and heading south, clarity comes in golden shrouds
Recalls of a long gone wisdom
Harnessed and mystified
A pilgrimage towards the cosmos of the unconscious
Led in gloomy fields of anguish and hope
Sealed among mortal things, watch the sky can't see its end
Sense the unity beyond
And then a glimpse leaves me petrified
My lips wide open, my eyes now shut
And suddenly all words are meaningless
My heart wide open, my lips are shut
My lips are shut
- Moment -
Here we'll remain
Sharing our loneliness, so fragile
And the consciousness we won't find
By the sea we'll lay
To touch infinity one more time
The waves crash, and cleanse the soul
- Momentum -
Let the mind reach its momentum
Let the mind reach its moment
May it be that all we see deviates from reality?
Abortion of that perfection gone in days of creation
Utter constancy of inanimate matter
Metamorphosed in shapeless masses
A tragic quest to recover a balance lost
We are bodies moving towards a standstill yet unknown
Whose ideas are sophisms
To justify their instincts
To justify
And then a glimpse leaves me petrified
My lips wide open, my eyes now shut
And suddenly all words are meaningless
My heart wide open, my lips are shut

12. HORIZON OF EVENTS
(Music by O999, Lyrics by Angeli & Crotti)
Neon sweeps over the windscreen
Entwined with the currents of the mind
Flashing on the threads of a lifetime
What was and will be
Overwhelming, fathomless
Catching time for a moment
Then it slips by
A fleeting pulse on the horizon
Guides the wandering of a restless soul
The nothingness we are
A burden so weary to stand alone
Prey of silence, I'm driving by
Distorting mirrors conceal the light
Striving to recollect what once was given
What was it all worth
A piercing pain charges my womb
Gravity pulls me down
To the point of no return
Where the trail of events
Is swallowed by oblivion
To watch annihilated knowledge
A vain victory to savour alone
Set your sight beyond the cosmic boundaries
Merge your pace with the aeons' breath
On the fence of a black hole you barely hear
The murmur of an earthly wind
Is it the stream of our emotion flowing
A mere nothing in the course of becoming?
The answer lies on the horizon
The horizon of events
Coiled in space and time
Wrapping up in cycles and folds
Wormholes leading to the unknown
What is then a moment?
A picture of the drama we live on
Or just another drop in the ocean
Echoes of artificial lights
Paint these illusions for me alone
Set your sight beyond the cosmic boundaries
Merge your pace with the aeons' breath
On the fence of a black hole you barely hear
The murmur of an earthly wind
Is it the stream of our emotion flowing
A mere nothing in the course of becoming?
The answer lies on the horizon
The horizon of events

13. DEADLOCK
(Music by O999, Lyrics by D.Angeli & S.Crotti)
There's no release
Dark waves come over
Need
I don't need your sympathy
For what's to sympathize with
But this endless stalemate
A grim cheat
Behind the curtain of communication
For what's to share
But something unreal
Harboured just in my own mind
And walls crack down
All shapes disfigure
Try to find the words that fix
Try to hold on to my feet
Groping, swaying, crawling
Blind to designs of doom
Count the days left to see the last
Count the pebbles I clench too fast
Against the flow, losing my sanity
An agony
As I watch the grotesque
The infamous creeps
In filth they drown the morals
In mud they celebrate the feast
Benumbed by sham cares
Soothed by plastic smiles
Rain covered fools dance around me
As I wait for the flood to end
Fever and fire
Delirium, twisted images weave
No way to hide from myself
From the monsters I keep
Isolate - to escape
A parasite, a cancer seed
Breeding regrets
They make my time unbearable
Twisting
Turning
Burning
Deadlock has seized me
Taken on me
Wasted me
Every time I hung on it
Bled for it
Struggled on it
Body and soul
Body and soul
Body and...
Everyone lives in his tiny madness

1. FARTHERMOST
(Music by O999, Lyrics by S.Strafinger)
Standing alone on the path of denial
Steps leading to somewhere unknown
There's no sun to enlighten my vision
'Cause it is burning in the cages of bliss
Ants!
All my contempt to you
Time to react
Time to break through
Leave 'em behind
New values to find
Farthermost!
A caustic vision of our sick world
Vile and rotten to the core
On these paths brought me to tread
Seeking clarity, I'm free to be!
Ants!
All my contempt to you
Time to react
Time to break through
Leave 'em behind
New values to find
Farthermost!
Consciousness, the creator of will
Shan't flow in the stream anymore
New sources, new ways
Will head the coming century
Ants!
All my contempt to you
Time to react
Time to break through
Leave 'em behind
New values to find
Farthermost!

2. THINGS UNTOLD
(Music by O999, Lyrics by D.Angeli)
Still no Eden in sight
Still the nerves cracking
Under the pressure
Of an undefeated pride
Another failing dreamv
Annihilating seems to be this sly and quiet...
Sense of standstill hanging like a threat upon my head
Lingering in the shade to consume emotions that now fall dead
All those things untold
Were tears never shown
Will help unease to grow
Until I am torn
As the days go by
A faint image becomes clear
It takes more time to understand
And bear the reasons of defeat
So hard to carry loads I didn't wish myself to stand
(When I dare) Close my eyes I see you...
Wasting all the chances to feel the vacuum in your words
You're so bereft, there's nothing left to fill the vacuum in your world
All those things untold
Were tears never shown
Now help unease to grow
Until I am torn
Sometimes it feels you're not living
Just when it seems that life's giving you all... but
This time I feel my yearn for love
Is being buried, my weakened force reborn
As I'm sweeping up the ashes of a love unknown before
For each and every struggle I got nothing but ashes in return
All those things untold
Were tears never shown
Have helped unease to grow
And now I am torn...

3. THRUST THE KNIFE
(Music by O999, Lyrics by D.Angeli)
Fall down towards the silence
The threshold of my pain
When light breaks through the clouds of my dead soul
I cannot let it stay
For my heart is wounded deep
I suffer and swallow my rage
So set me free...
I live in fear
The fear of you
Can't wash away
My tears of woe
A misanthrope
Unwillingly
I'm bound to be
For eternity
Entangled in frustration
You cannot ease this pain
A servant of my inner self
Cold war against the vain
For my heart is wounded deep
I suffer and swallow my rage
And it can't be ceased...
Thrust the knife and... kill my darkness
Thrust the knife and... kill my darkness.

4. OBLIVION
(Music by O999, Lyrics by S.Strafinger)
Welcome...
Welcome to oblivion!
Watch him, watch him drown
Chained and blinded,
Sinking
Towards the unknown
Watch him,
Trapped and caged
In the darkest corner of his mind
Our soul is sick
Our blood runs cold
We shun the light
And feel so old
Timeless dimension, stained recollections
(Lost!!!
Still) craving
For something beyond
"He never will be back
The price to pay
For our desires
Is insanity...
Our soul is sick
Our blood runs cold
We shun the light
And feel so old
Sick... Old...
Release me
...Release me
Release me
From this void!
"Are we too close or too far from your conscience
And the hollow you feel deep inside
Is it the hollow of devotion
Devotion to illusion and lies..."
And lies!
Release me
...Release me
Release me
From this void!
Watch him, watch him drown
Chained and blinded,
Sinking
Towards the unknown
"He never will be back
The price to pay
For our desires
Is insanity..."
Our soul is sick
Our blood runs cold
We shun the light
And feel so old
Sick... Old...
Release me
...Release me
Release me
From this void!
Release me
...Release me

5. SHIVERING
(Music by O999, Lyrics by D.Angeli)
Shivering... when my heart is open to yours
When I feel your breath unchaining my darkest love
I see the remnants of my shattered soul
They lie upon the ground, where my body shivers
And moves without control
Drag me down and let me know
Where this spiral leads and what it's worth
But I'll never be slave to your pride
And I'll never be longing to die
'Cause you'll never soothe the beast I have inside
Shivering... when my eyes observe reality
When I feel my anger rising from within
You sheep-like creatures, to shun you is my relief
I'll spit in your blinded eyes, when my spite makes me shiver
For this world doesn't belong to me
Drag me down and let me know
Where this spiral leads and what it's worth
But I'll never be slave to your pride
And I'll never be longing to die
'Cause you'll never soothe the beast I have inside... deep inside
