I drown in the sound In a sterile atmosphere Down below the noise sphere In sterile cold blue steel Lifeless in time
A caress of cold, a caress of cold The caress of a cold blue light lamp
[solo: Massimiliano]
The stars ain't shining now In this artificial sky with electro-psychic storms Where aseptic stillness is
I look for your hand somehow But you cannot reach me here now This mental-nowhere has closed its doors Where life gives way to crying steel
2. Tales From A Winter To Come
And the Winter did the things I wanted to be done No matter the pain in gave, The rain continued to fall on and on
So the wind brought grief, And the cold shed tears And now my ally is making, Making me one with hissad cry
The Winter rages out through my mouth Breaking through the windows of your Summer It freezes pure love And fills your stories with pages Pages from a Winter to come
From a fortress of frost, Blood pours forth from my mouth Flooding your dream fields, your shores Sweeping your hopes away To where no senses reach
This death-filled sky reflecting the horror I lust I'm hidden up here in decrepitude Writing with blood, Tales from a Winter to come

3. Nostalgiaplatz
[Solo: Massimiliano]
No longer I stand this sea of light No longer I stand the gift of god Screaming, sighing, sighing , screaming, crying loud
The old boat sailed out of sight Taking my feelings off, afar It leaves me, drying, dry; It leaves me crying now
[Solo: Carmelo]
No longer I stand these fields of shine No longer I stand this sea of light So why not moving to Nostalgiaplatz Together, forever, together
4. My Starving Bambina
Now that the leaves are descending down I'm piercing the heart of the Sun 'Cause Summer gave you back to the ground
My "Leaf" you've been taken away That goddamned night filled the sky Shading your rays of life
Your spirit always takes me back to streets of starving cries But now take me, please, with you away
Don't know if I'll give in now, but I'll meet you Patrizia Again I swear
5. Love Story
Steal a diamond and pierce my heart with its point And take three silver drops of blood to sow your dried flesh Use the harvest you get to appease the hunger of your crowd, which drains you day by day, draining you away
You wanna eat my pearly eyes to fill the void you've got Inside, sweet child of mine , you've got inside
The pearly gates you dream of, are made of mortal hopes you stole away The pearly gates you long for are made of Innocent night beings, heavenly unpure and yet so pure
I feel ashamed for your soul This war seems to reach a crying end But why your very tears they never fall? your very mask it never fades away? your very face ain't going to be shown?
6. L'Epoque Noire (March The 7th 12973 A.D.)
(A breathing machinery), injecting liquid madness (into my veins) In a torturing pain Damaging my mechanics with synthetic, corroding rains
In chambers of future science, my liquid crystal eyes Recall an old man, describing me something called dawn Acid substances from lab keep working on my brain To realize that the Earth forgot what the Sun was
My son forgive me, forgive me now And take my sorrow to what once were skies The scent of sadness through falling rain I can't run from the graves, ghosts of our past
7. Onirica East
And I leave your world As a little alien, broken hearted Night stained eyed Solitude-stained eyes As I jump in my shuttle Away through the ocean sky With my dolphins guiding my ride
Across the Sirengates I ride Scattering the ashes of your portrait With wells of hate among stars opaque:stars
C'e un luogo a nord di Arcadia oltre I mari Esei Dove non c'e mai veglia ne perche: :Onirica
[TRANSLATION:] There's a place, north of Arcadia Beyond the Esei seas, where there's no wakefulness nor reasons
I'm watching outside the (window) glass As street light diffuses through the hall Somewhere (Winter)'s lifting shades of war Chilling me in the darkness of this fall
The Piano falls
As shadows watch the rain we tremble on our bed In sheets of silver silk, as the world's heart loses its feel
The old town greets the pain with monuments of shame This clock slowed down its hands,Its echoing the rain Stop begging me to stay, stop begging me to stay Just let me run away
This season's out time Events sculptured in time Through everlong time-rain
Sing one Wintersong the way you've always done, for me A Wintersong of pain the way you've always done, for me
10. Spirit Of The Forest
11. Colour Of An Eye
[2008 remastered version bonus track]
And drain me to the core This fenceless crown of stars Dissolve all those benumbing clouds of frozen grains of rust The forest of the weak has burnt away Caught from a solar wrath It's been swallowed from inside
And curl me up inside, And kill the rain with its thunders Take me on and drain me to the soul
Please come inside my house And take the treasures from my safe No need to claim this hollow land, it's yours Please step inside my eyes and draw the colour off my iris Paint a landscape with a cry of joy
And curl me up inside, And kill the rain with its thunders Take me on and drain me to the bones
Look deeper in my eyes And find another world And all those words that I do not say anymore This senseless crown of stars dissolve Those benumbing clouds of rust I've got inside
