Dark and Light all voices
call my names
world war ace
shot down in flames
rising up a soccer star, who’s
talking on the phone
I don’t know
I’m calling you
from heaven or hell
I can’t tell
all voices
call my names
chess master
sung with praise
waking up ‘Goth’ superstar, who’s
waiting by the phone
I don’t know
I’m calling you
pieces get confused
I can’t tell
who I am
Dark and Light/ Dark and Light
Dark and Light/ Darkness…
Darkness
I never thought
I wouldn’t see
the sun rise again
coming in
to empty places
faces blur
voices merge, I’m
shinning like a burning star
where I’m leading to
I don’t know
I’m calling you
to heaven or hell
I can’t tell
walking through
empty houses
howls of fear
throughout the Ages
lovers burn like shooting stars
where I’m leading you
I don’t know
I’m calling you
Darkness’ ll make you shine
I can’t tell
What we are
…Darkness… Darkness
Dark and Light/ Dark and Light
Dark and Light/ Darkness…
Darkness
I never thought
I wouldn’t see
the sun rise again
…Darkness… Dawn…

A Paradise Lost I was dreaming between Graces and Arts
bewitched by beauty I fell for her call
there I met my demon, and now my
paradise’s lost
I’ve been roaming from twilight to dawn
one of a kind shadowed by the Fall
preying on devils finding no
mercy at all
I’ve been roaming from twilight to dawn
haunting alleys and palaces halls
I’ve seen so many things
none would believe
Oh…I saw demons burn in the lights of day
Oh…I heard angels cry in the night
Oh…I dreamt a music that came from the dawn of times
Oh…I touched the body of a paradise lost
I’ve been riding from twilight to dawn
living between darkness and splendours
now I’m standing, bloody with
your paradise lost
I’ve been riding from twilight to dawn
watching the world for your breath to call
will you still be mine once
my eternity’s gone
Oh…I saw demons burn in the lights of day
Oh…I heard angels cry in the night
Oh…I dreamt a music that came from the dawn of times
Oh…I touched the body of a paradise lost
You’ll see demons burn in the lights of day…
You’ll hear angels cry in the night…
You’ll dream a music that comes from the dawn of times…
You’ll touch the body of a paradise lost…

Children of Millenniums …I’ve seen worlds
that you wouldn’t believe
coming down through the ages
just to be here with you…
I’ve seen lives
full of beauty and rage
from the Battles of Dawn
to the Venetian grace
I’ve seen times
of such fury and faith
when the learned lived in fear
and my kind spread like death
I’ve seen loves
that would never deny
a glimpse at eternity
till their time came to fly
Come to me
we are the Children of Millenniums
Come to me
we are the Legions of Eternity
Come to me
we are the Hunters of Loneliness
I’ve seen the Plague
whirl like a nightmare in rags
haunting laments and flames
the hell of loss and regrets
I’ve seen heavens
in delightful embraces
such delicate minds, that sighed
like angels when cut
…I’ve seen night
change into the day
where I’m losing my strength
but it’s the price to pay…
I’ve seen your whole
world fall and slip away
and you losing your faith
in this fools shadow-play
Come to me
we are the Children of Millenniums
Come to me
we are the Legions of Eternity
Come to me
we are the Hunters of Loneliness
Come to me
we are the Children of Millenniums
Come to me
we are the Legions of Eternity
Come to me
you was lost and now you found Me
…you will never need of anything anymore.

Redemption …Oh Lord save
me, body and soul…
I’ve been living
through the Centuries
and all Centuries
just show the same
I’ve been running
through the Countries
and all the Cities
just slip the same
I’ve been haunting
all kind of creatures
and all haunted
just fear the same
I’ve been founding
so many beliefs
and all beliefs
just say the same
There’s no heaven
or hell before us
no religion
to help us now
There’s no heaven
or hell before us
no Redemption
to save our souls
I’ve been living
through the Centuries
and all Centuries
just die the same
I’ve been roaming
through the Countries
and all the Cities
just sleep the same
I’ve been hunting
all kind of creatures
and all hunted
just pray the same
I’ve been facing
so many beliefs
and all beliefs, they
just lie the same
…There’s no heaven
or hell before us
no expectations
just run wild
Oh how I questioned
their convictions
no religion
would help them then
There’s no heaven
or hell before us
no Redemption
to save us now
There’s no heaven
or hell before us
no Absolution
could save our souls
…Oh Lord save
me, body and soul…

Love Beyond Life the remains of the night
will leave your skin as silk
your hair like fields of wheat
and eyes like opened skies
I’ll chase you till the end of life
I’ll take your pain and make it mine
I’ll change your darkness into light
I’ll lead you through the ocean of night
I’ll cherish you till the end of times
It’s love, love beyond life
as tears and lives go by
through the wings of our darkened souls
now you’re running with me, if only
hey, your feet would never touch the ground, or lightly
I’ll chase with you to the edge of night
I’ll trade our shame and make you mine
I’ll break these demons in fountains of light
I’ll bring you through these poisoned skies
I’ll teach you how to live and let die
Now it’s love, love beyond life
It’s love, love… every time.

Our Poisoned Faith ..I can’t forgive
this Poisoned Faith
And I can’t forget you..
all the Palazzos
resound with your voice
and all the Museums
display your pale glow
now you’re no longer with me
they had you sacrificed
all my angels cry
all my angels bleed
all my angels fall and burn
I can’t forgive
this Poisoned Faith
and I can’t forget you
all my angels cry
all my angels bleed
all my angels fall and lie
all the Cathedrals
light up with your looks
and all the Garden ponds
reflect your faint smile
now you’re no longer with me
they had you sacrificed
all my angels cry
all my angels bleed
all my angels fall and burn
I can’t forgive
this Poisoned Faith
and I can’t forget you
all my angels cry
all my angels bleed
all my angels fall and lie
all my angels cry
all my angels bleed
all my angels fall and burn
for this Poisoned Faith

This Eternal Life I’ve survived through this lonely night
I’ve defied dawn’s menacing glow
I’ve ridden Plague on earth
I’ve turned heavens to hell
you weren’t born in this thousand years
I’ve been waiting for fire
I’ve been preying on this cold night
a trail of pallid brides
I could burn for a thousand years
I’ve been praying for fire
I’ve been praying for fire
Oh, it’s Heaven or Hell
this Eternal Life
my Condemnation
Oh, it’s Heaven or Hell
this Damnation of
Eternal life, I can’t tell
I’ve been waiting this hour
I’ve been waiting for so long
I’ve been waiting for you
I’ve been watching the world
for this moment you came to life
I’ve been standing by your gates
I’ve been waiting in the cold night
recalling every bride
wishing I could ever burn with you
I’ve been praying for fire
I’ve been praying for fire
Oh, it’s Heaven or Hell
this Eternal Life
my Condemnation
Oh, it’s Heaven or Hell
this Damnation of
Eternal life, I can’t tell
I’ve been waiting for fire
I’ve been waiting for fire
Oh, it’s Heaven or Hell
this Eternal Life
my Condemnation
Oh, it’s Heaven or Hell
this Damnation of
Eternal life, I can’t tell

DarkenedI know these moments to darken your dreams
I know these feelings to poison your nights
I know these questions to haunt you forever…
don’t let their lights reach on us
don’t let their cries catch with us
we’re so old and glorious
don’t let their love deceive us
don’t let their blood soften us
they’re so pure & enlightened
don’t let their ghosts wake with us
don’t let their prayers fill our souls
we’re so worn and darkened
I keep a track of what darkened my heart
I keep a track of what darkened the skies
I keep a track of what darkened the sun
I keep a track of what darkened my soul
…darkened my hope
…poisoned my blood
I keep a track of what blackened your heart
don’t let their eyes stare at us
don’t let their bodies abuse us
we’re so bold & unforgiven
don’t let their charms enslave us
don’t let their hands crawl on us
we’re so cold and stiffened
don’t let their youth retain us
don’t let their moaning haunt our sleep
we’re so torn and darkened
I keep a track of what darkened my heart
I keep a track of what darkened the skies
I keep a track of what darkened the sun
I keep a track of what darkened my soul
…darkened my hope
…poisoned my love
I keep a track of what blackened your heart

Calling the Furies Everything must go
Everything must go
the gardens and the palazzo
the great doors and the park alleys
the corridors and the galleries
the furniture and the clothing
Everything must go
Everything must go
the paintings and the tapestries
the statues and the galleries
and all the buildings and the livings
Everything must go…
Calling the Furies…
Everything must go
Everything must go
the stories and the heroes
the real lives and the shadows
the desires and the pleasure glows
the heartbeats and the blood flows
Everything must go
Everything must go
the perfume of roses in the morning dew
the scent of cut grass in the evening mist
the same story goes for me and you
Everything must go
Calling the Furies…
Calling the Furies…
I’ll be missing so many things

Until Kingdom Come ..Now darkness falls
an eternity calls
I watch the fading lights
I feel the blazing night
until kingdom come
waiting for lives to call..
I’ve been crossing this night
for a thousand years
merely avoiding these questions
for a thousand times
was I right or was I wrong
to breed you forever young
I’ve been thinking over this night
for a thousand times
I’ve been questioning our fate
for those thousand years
Oh.. Where do we belong
until our kingdom comes?
I’m calling/ I’m Calling
.. in this house of hours
where eternity glows
I want to take you There
where darkness unfolds
and the fierce night calls
and dark angels come..
They let you bleed here
with no life inside you
They let you die here
with no hope inside you
where love’s forever frozen
and angels forever fallen
They let you lie here
with no ghost inside of you
They let me pray here
with no God inside of me
Oh.. What shall we become
until our kingdom come(s)?
I’m calling/ I’m Calling
..when darkness unfolds
as eternity goes
I want to watch you do
the things you like to do
oh when your dreams start to hold
until my kingdom comes..
I’m calling/ I’m Calling
Night calling/ Night Calling
Night Call

Angels of Light ..For all the things unsaid
and all the things undone
For all the things unheard
and all the things unseen
I beg you to forgive
I beg you to forgive me
I beg you to forgive
She said: “I can’t burn in flames
of a love that’s so sincere
am I so afraid to die ?”
She said :“I can’t leave unforgiven”
I beg you to forgive
I beg you to forgive me
I beg you for forgiveness
Send me angels of light
I’ll see you in a ray of light
Send me demons of night
I’ll see you in a sea of lives
Oooh..
..For all the things untouched
and all the things unnamed
For all the things unloved
and all the things unchanged
I beg you to forgive
I beg you to forgive me
I beg you to forgive
She said: “Save me from my fate
of a life that comes to wane
co’s I’m so afraid to die”
She said:“I can’t rest forgotten”
I beg you to forgive
I beg you to forgive me
I beg you for forgiveness
Send me angels of light
I’ll see you in a ray of light
Send me demons of night
I’ll see you in a sea of life
Oooh..
Oh.. Night is falling
Night is falling
Light has fallen
Life is calling, Oh..
..I’ll show you a way between dark & light
I’ll show you a path between wrong & right
I’ll save you from the black ocean of night
You won’t have to pray for time
to leave your beauty untouched
but if I can save you from your fate
I can’t save you from yourself..

100 Years Time ..Now darkness falls
an eternity folds
I want to watch you do
the things you like to do
until kingdom come..
Hey.. Child of Silence
Hey..child of Innocence
who shall you become
someone right or someone wrong
in the circus of your life ?
In a hundred years time..
In a hundred years time..
That fear of death
that damages our soul
and corrupts innocence
Watch them rise at daylight, they
blaze like insects on a flame
why should we ever burn
or lie without return ?
Watch us rise at moonlight, we
prey on shadows of the night
Oh.. Feel how we become
until kingdom come
I’ve been crossing this night
for a thousand years
merely avoiding these questions
for a thousand times
was I right or was I wrong
to breed you forever young
I’ve been thinking over that night
for a thousand times
I’ve been questioning our fate
for those thousand years
Oh.. What should we become
until our kingdom comes ?
In a thousand years time..
In a thousand years time..
In a thousand years time..
In a hundred years time..
In a hundred years time..
That fear of death
that damages our soul
and corrupts innocence
In a 100 Years Time..
In a 100 Years Time..
In a 100 Years Time..

Mary & John (Radio Plays) Mary was in love with John
and John he didn’t feel at ease
he felt at odd with the life he lived
there’s no “flying to Mars” over here
Not like in the books he read in the late 50’s
telling stories of young hearts and paradise lost
he once thought he could write a story too
about long gone heroes, a modern sci-fi tale
Mary was in love with John
and John he didn’t feel at all
he spent his life killing time, smoking cigarettes
in a cold blind room with a spoiled back street view
Mary was in love with John …
Radio plays
They would fill every home
Radio plays
Like time healed everything
Home-maid stories…
Mary was in love with John
and John he made her feel at ease
it had felt so bad watching him slowly waste
there’s no second chance over here
Not like in the books she read in the late 60’s
telling stories of real life and paradise found
she never saw John as a “saviour”
just a gentle father to her sons
Mary was in love with John
and John he didn’t know how strong
she now spends her time at the garden with the children
sometimes listening wind bring like laugh bursts of John
Mary was in love with John…
Radio plays
They would fill every home
Radio plays
Like time healed everything
Old men stories
Home-maid stories…
Radio plays…

Disenchanted how many times have we
fooled on the beach
how many times did we
ride free as the wind
how many times have we
climbed the highest peaks
how many times did we
sail the oceans…
how many times have we
travelled the world
how many times have we
approached a Master’s Work
how many times did we
express the beauty we have
how many times have we
stepped aside…
all the words we could say
are senseless now, and
all the things we could do
are useless now
all the things we could feel
are pointless now, and
all the dreams we could make
are hopeless now/because
because we’re numb/disenchanted
yeah! we’re numb…/disenchanted
how many times have we
walked on the moon
how many times have we
swum with dolphins
how many times have we
made our dreams come true
how many times did we
get what we want…
all the words we could say
are senseless now, and
all the things we could do
are useless now
all the things we could feel
are pointless now, and
all the dreams we could make
are hopeless now/because
because we’re numb/disenchanted
yeah! we’re numb…/disenchanted
this is the way
I was really made baby
This is the way
I was built for “Real”

I Feel Real “Feedback…”
we dream
old stories, we never live through
rewind
I was a Ware… Ware…
we are
like ancient chants that we forgot
now I
I feel so Real… Real…
“I feel” / “I act” / “I think” / “I ask” /
“have you” / “sold me” / “rewind” / “exit”
exit
were you real, and were you like me
exit
I need to breathe… breathe…
we end
like daydreams, we need not to be
we die
and won’t return… turn back…
- I feel Real -
“Feedback…”

I, Android I, android
beside naked steel suns
will serve humane plans
berserker within thought
let us not ignore
the brain’s a machine
you know the last to die
but the dream will remain
Hello, so here am I
model n# 5
admire this machinery
you’re looking at eternity
I, android
will build you a world
larger than life
you’ll walk in innocent
I , assassin
I’ll be your Mother, I know you need
I’ll speak and create you anew
first will be my verb
rumours here to lie to you
do I make you dream
all dreams I’d make
would be sterile for you
you may cry
you’ve all lost
like young flesh
your Heaven’s dead
Keep your Remembrance
keep your Norms
keep your dreams for you
that’s all there is, really
young plastic boys
love soaking into organic
saying : “d’ you know how to die ,
and could you really lie to me, please”
there are no Final Reasons
you should’ve tried me
tell me : “Do my dream”
you would anyway
I’ll be your mirror
with no face and no name
I’ve seen everything
please don’t switch me off
turn me on, it’s time for
posthumous invocations
tell me : “do The Priest”
see the past exist
Here one only lies
in this shadow theatre
these ghosts in my memory…
and in memories I’d end
and this dream gone
nothing means
anything
anymore
I, android
I…

Dream Makers where are the Dream Makers
where are the Dream Makers… now
pictures in blue and white
I watch the clock and wish… you here
I remember every name
I remember every face
I remember every word
I won’t forget anything
Where are the Dream makers
Where are those Wonder Years… there
I feel I haven’t changed, I
Can’t trade Old Dreams for New… without you
I remember every place
I remember every song
I remember every whisper
I won’t forget anything
…where are the Dream Makers
where are the Good Ol’ Times – now
I sit and wait all day
I watch the sea and dream away…
I remember the Old Days
I remember how we were – then
I remember the Good Times
I can’t forget anything

We're On Automatic we’re on automatic
and the radios play
some new love song tune
we’re on automatic
there’s nothing to say
there’s nothing to do
I regret things sometimes
What do speakers say ?
They say:
“…oh what a Brave New World !
oh such a Brave New…”
we’re on automatic
and the videos show
some old love film scene
we’re on automatic
there’s nothing to think
there’s nothing to feel
I regret things sometimes
What do adverts say ?
They say :
“…oh what a Brave New World !
oh such a Brave New…”
…it’s a Brave New World
and the Orpheans sing
some Gregorian chant
“Deus, Deus meus”
Oh such a perfect world
and the Dream Pol’s chant
some machine-made slogan
“we’re on automatic”

America am I real ?!
I’ve heard this nonsense before
fancy this
they say I’m so ‘romantic’
they’re making
a brand new ‘dream’ pollution-test
is that it ?
they could deny life for real
look out !
who’s real ?
you tear my soul
you tear my soul apart
are they real ?
they’re looking for ‘America’
look at me
I’m rending sound emotion
‘on the air’
they’re singing “I’m on Broadway”
that Ok, hmm…
‘soft’ adds to consume ‘The World’
what world ?
who’s real ?
who’s real, now ?
you tear my soul
you tear my soul apart
…stop…

Love Song do you need this ?

it’s the principal decision, you see

Emotions she’s there for money
and I’m here for emotions
she could believe in my dreams
if I believed her smiles
and we know this is no story
of ‘love and affection’
this is ‘cold sex’ corruption
of heart, flesh and soul
she likes the quick gone collections
of faces, words and names
she hates men slow glances
“they act like they’re at ‘The Zoo’”
I say : “it’s ‘The Old Scenario’
of ‘chitchat / hand gestures’
I feel she could quit ‘The Job’
she’s still Innocent, somehow…
…wandering dreams in the night
feel her breathe on your heart…
she hates ‘The Scenario’
but she can’t take ‘The Change’
because she is too afraid
of thinking it over
she won’t make love to ‘strangers’
cos she can’t stand ‘the Memory’
you see I know this emotion
it’s called the ‘sense of Erosion’
…wandering dreams in the night
feel her breathe on your heart…
…wandering dreams in the night
take her soul in your hand…
wandering dreams in the night
feel her breathe on your heart…

A Broken Eve …so, here we are…
we gleam like rain…
your picture blows away…
as smooth as glass…
is this Me… ?
is that You… ?
where are we… ?
now it hurts too…
their world is grey
their world is old
their love is cold
so why should we… ?
now your wheels brake
I scream : “Oh rain… !”
so, here we are
a Broken Eve… wastes
I never thought you could be one of them machines…
oh…what if we don’t
try like the rest of them all
And what if we don’t
dream like the rest of them all

Martian Days is this all there is
a cold state trooper scheme of things
it’s like our fantasies
were displayed in cold storage cases
is this all there is
I’d wish I’d hold on to you these days
nothing’s more unsure
they broke my dreams, I just played with yours
“try replicate…”
the new psy-police slogan
“have your dreams really been tricked”
hmm… to be or to be not
and no one’s really alive
I could’ve barely been me
who are those independents
hmm… to have or to have not
I was an Icon
a God made of flesh
a dream advert Doll
a Priest without faith
is this all there is
we were once young and sure
those aero mobiles
something must’ve gone wrong outside
is this all there is
times are changing so fast these days
we could dance away
we have no hold of things here
“trade your dreams in…”
the Mnemo libraries add
hey! Look how they’re sampling us
hmm… to be or to be not
here come the “servo beings”
they won’t function like we do
their world is like Ancient Rome
hmm… to have or to have not
I was an Icon
a God made of flesh
a dream advert Doll
a Priest without faith
…you said :
“just where are we now
those lost illusions
those dreams that grew cold ?
me I’m so tired of this
I won’t hurt anymore”…
I was an Icon
a God made of flesh
a dream advert Doll
a Priest without faith
now, say it !

Alien Dream Switch off Me
Switch off lights
Switch off sound
Switch off you
Switch off Me
a dust story
There must be
a place for us
You and me
lies, recall
remind me, that
time has died somewhere
Nothing dies
just memories
listen we… this
relation wall
I need to…
I can’t die
I need “You” ‘s, like words
I don’t know
We, should we
name our Gods, so
this story
would stay yours
…It’s all absurd again
…An alien dream

Isolation soul cages, haunted by doom
this is life, conscious inside… Me
no memories, or time to remember
no innocence, or lead to regret
no conscience, or sensations left
when darkness comes, and lit “children play”
for all this time spent to wonder if…
and all those dreams that we left aside
and all the hopes that we left untold
and all (the) emotions we left unspoken
this is isolation…
and silence, silence like… loss
that left us, torn and empty
no Glory, or Power to take
no Kingdom, or shadows to wake
no white light, or near “Heaven’s Gate”
just silence, silence the Law
for all the things that we left unseen
and all the moves that we left undone
and all the love that we left unsaid
and all those moments we left unlived
this is isolation…
there is no Absolution…
this is Absolute
Absolute

Dreams, Inc. we learned dreams in schools of thought
playing games of Innocent
trying hard not to deceive, then
loved ones said we’d compromise
and tore our wings – away
we sought objects of desire
finding art as only shelter
sealing friendships with ideals
growing sure and uncontrolled
and faced their world - unbound
all they want is your submission
all they want is your subjection
all they want is ghosts of the past
all they want is dreams to pass on
…In this life of great confusion
where one would hide in someone else’s past
we were given no chance to succeed, and
become someone we could’ve been proud
of as a child
and in this disenchanted world of theirs
where there’s no place for lasting emotions
I sought you, and under the oak tree
you sold me, and I sold you
sometimes we would question things
living a still life, and by proxy
a dream of techniques renders, a
dream of a still society
we spend life in factories
making things that no one needs
raising children to beliefs
of systems of modern slavery
that burned our souls – away
all they want is your corruption
all they want is your perversion
all they want is rip your heart out
all they want is life to pass by
all they want is your submission
all they want is your delusion
all they want is tear your soul down
all they want is wreck your dreams apart
all they want is used emotions
all they want is tricked innocence
all they want is ghosts of a child
all they want is waste your life away
Dreams, incorporated

Intrusion all this useless beauty…
clockwork love on rusty beds…
me, I used to love you so much…
I don’t think I want it tonight…
I saw men trade life off…
neatly dressed in their suits and their lies
they stopped acting by themselves years ago
like servo-guided by T.V., I don’t know…
I saw them walk in line
they stopped believing in life years ago
praising high for some ‘marvellous Homme Nouveau’
completely warped for as much as I know
how they intrude on your life
how they intrude on your dreams
how they intrude on your mind
and tarnish what you believe
all this wasted beauty…
empty dreams on dusty desks
I’m watching those ‘Thinking Machines’
and me I know that something must be wrong
I saw them walk in lines
they stopped dreaming of life years ago
their eyes are empty like their ‘marvellous Homme Nouveau’
completely fixed for as much as I know
how they intrude on your life
how they intrude on your dreams
how they intrude on your mind
and destroy what you believe in
how they intrude on your mind
how they intrude on your time
how they intrude on your soul
how they intrude on your art
Intrusion… Stop !

The Machines the machine-town broke down
the machine-brain struck
the machines ‘hum’ died down
like a breath, the humming died – down
the machine-nurse switched off
the machine-god blinked – out
the dream machine fell quiet
the god-machine stopped – here
she says :
“slaves to them, are we slaves to them ?
all those wasted years, can you feel the pain ?”
she says :
“fools to play, aren’t we fools to play ?
all those devious games, just make me slip away…”
she says : “han…”.
she says : “…”
the life-machine broke down
the die-machine’s wrecked
the machines ‘pump’ died down
like a heartbeat, the pumping died – down
the Earth-machine dies out
the god machine turns – off
the time machine seized up
the machines god stopped – here
she says :
“slaves to them, are we slaves to them ?
all those wasted years, can you feel the pain ?”
she says :
“fools to play, aren’t we fools to play ?
all those vicious games, just make me slip away…”
she says : “han…”.
she says : “…”

Dream Deceiver we are so exposed
our memories have been fixed
we left dated dreams
stored in a back street shop
we are so exposed
there’s nothing I can do now
except believe in you
and that’s so uncertain
we are so exposed
a slim chance to take
the Factory’s closed
the mechanic’s late
we are so exposed
have I told you how
she would turn me out,
when ‘Touch’ came she said :
“isn’t it strange
how your design has changed
no ‘universal device
identity request’”
she said :
“I felt that before
with a wild ‘Nexus 5’, hum…
that quest for emotions
leaves you barely alive”
she said…
we are so exposed
the State Police is watching
they could spot our thoughts
if we dared to doubt
we are so exposed
odd photographs in our coats
our friends ?! they’ve all had it !
damaged beyond repair…
we are so exposed
we’ve been there too long
the Factory’s closed
the mechanic’s gone
we are so exposed
in time, I recall
how she’d turn me on
when ‘Sight’ came she said :
“your memories lie
you could hardly recall
hum… reasons to die
that make no sense at all”
she said :
“I hate those questions
that are sure to deceive
but you’re just another version
of The Firm’s make-believes”
she said : “In thoughts
I’d call you son,
call you son…
call you son…”
dream deceiver…
dream deceiver…!

Soul Corruption I remember earthly days
oceans and lands we praised
the sun that burnt the eyes
their desperate urge for lies
I remember landing late
a hold full of dreams and Fates
reassembling a ‘Facs’ I laid
I turned it on, ‘her’ voice said :
“i’m Your one love
Your soul repair
i’m your bright side
Your silent prayer
i’m your last dream
Your worse nightmare
i’m your dark side
Your secret fear”
this is soul corruption
this is soul corruption
I remember what they said
back in those confusion days
they said that time would heal
that old scars won’t unseal
they said : “just build a life there,
this fancy’s our new Eve,
a lover and a wife,
a friend that can’t deceive”
I remember bending ‘her’
like tears running down ‘her’ face
a few seconds of cosmic Grace
I turned ‘her’ off, a voice said :
“i’m your one love
Your soul repair
i’m your bright side
Your silent prayer
i’m your last dream
Your worse nightmare
i’m your dark side
Your secret fear”
this is soul corruption
this is soul corruption
“i’m Your one love
Your soul repair
i’m your bright side
Your silent prayer
i’m a whisper
a breath on Your neck”
I can’t forget
all those things ‘she’ said
“i’m Your last dream
Your worse nightmare
i’m your dark side
Your secret fear
i’m a night cry
a shiver up your spine”
I can’t figure how
but I’ll make them pay
“i’m Your saviour
Your true desire
If You leave me now
i’ll be lost in time”
this is soul corruption
this is soul corruption…
this is soul corruption
it’s the last emotion
save my soul…

Light in the Dark we are engineers
the sons of new thinkers
we breed in high towers
where glass made girls
meet steel made men
and break flesh and soul
we are not evil
we are the observers
the ‘old dream’ collectors
when men of ideals
turn men of power
and trade life in
we don’t need a new prayer
we don’t need a new emotion
we don’t need new dreams
we don’t need a light in the dark
we are engineers
abstract life designers
the city mind builders
where human beings
render human doings
then die for real
we are not replicas
disguised in clean blue & grey
we have this sly beauty
of mindless ones
we don’t give a damn
what’s right or wrong
we don’t need a new prayer
we don’t need a new emotion
we don’t need new dreams
we don’t need a light in the dark
we shall come
take your souls
tear this land apart
we won’t leave
a light in the dark
please, remind us
that life is so quickly – gone

Machineries of Joy I’m waiting in
a big clean room
I don’t know
if I can move
she says : “like
an old disease,
we’re wasting in
mechanics of Joy”
I’m praying
I’m on my knees
I don’t know
if I can speak
she says : “it’s
the sickness of Need,
we’re young hearts with
mechanics of Joy”
I won’t remember your name
I won’t remember your face
I won’t remember your voice
I won’t remember anything, of this all…
I’m waking
a radio screams
I don’t know
if I can think
she says : “it’s
‘object, word and thought’
we question in
mechanics of Joy”
I’m moving
I’m on the screen
I’m talking
oh… so obscene !
I’m thinking : “it’s the
Forgiveness of Life…”
I still need it,
mechanics of… Joy

This Device It was so insecure…
nothing could help us then…
those sirens on the wall…
blue collars talking in a low voice…
hum… all stories for sure…
Yellowed photographs by the bed…
oh… it must have been years…
and then something broke down… - only
a few steps away from me…
and this device I call ‘you’
lies dreamless in this room…
and now I’ve no one to love.
hey… why should I ever renounce ?
I’ve been waiting here for days…
here by this device I call ‘you’.
…I have this awkward complex
I am your ‘life operator’…
I saw the ‘dream police’ today
they said that you died years ago in the crash
there’s so much love of
no object in me tonight…
I wish I could be with you,
running in the rain, like before…
we were so innocent…
or maybe just ‘wrong’…
I wish I could be like them all…
if only I could feel… like me.
hey… the alarm’s been ringing for days and days…
me I don’t know who I should love…
here by this device they call ‘You’

2oth Century Rust …if we were young, and sure of us
if we were young…
…if we were young, and sure of us
20th Century rust…
here come the men with the Guns
here come the wounded heroes
here come the war memorials
that curse that ‘Total Age’
here come the men with the Brains
whole countries out on the dole
hunger and mass production
I hear the wire’s song, it says :
“…if we were young, and sure of us
if we were young…
…if we were young, and sure of us
20th Century rust…”
here come the men with the Dream
office towers on the moon
that great ‘American smile’
a Brave New World’ ahead
here come the men with the Greed
they’re killing much more than life
they’re killing the principle
of life in itself, and say :
“…if we were young, and sure of us
if we were young…
…if we were young, and sure of us
20th Century rust…”
20th Century rust

My Time Warp there’s a pawnshop in a back street
where humans leave odd memories
there’s a signboard on the pavement
it reads : “we can make you re-
-member things you’ll never live”
there’s an old man in the pawnshop
one day he turned on me and said :
“I know what you’re looking for,
some memories of … a past”
… he’s living in a time warp
… he’s living in a time warp
I know I’ve been there before
in quest of identity.
there’s a photo in a glass ball
of a lady and a young boy
light flickered in the old man’s eyes
he said : “one would call her mother,
whether ‘they’ ’d believe it or not …”
his sister, she’s a rose from Dublin
she’d dress like Mary Queen of Scots, and
though she knew that hopes die last
she left her future in someone’s past
… he’s living in a time warp
… he’s living in a time warp
I know what he’s waiting for
a dream to pass through the night.
there’s a pawnshop in a back street
where humans buy odd memories
there’s a notice in the window
it reads : “used emotions sale,
reasonable price guaranteed.”
there’s an old man in the pawnshop
his heart and soul remain in Dublin
he knows what ‘we’ need it’s called
an ‘affective memory’…
there’s an old queen in the pawnshop
his sister, she’s a rose from Dublin
she says : “haven’t we met before ?
In quest of eternity…”
