Ithaca

After your first life, a world of love Sorrounded by the darkness, peace and silence You'll cry out to show your desperate pain So your journey starts No one can describe the path to take And no one will know if it will be long No one will know if it will be hard Only fate decides... First love will help you to understand During the first steps she'll hold your hand Then she'll move away to set you free Free to choose You'll fight alone against yourself, against your deepest fears You'll fight alone against your deaf and blind rage You will live in solitude to appreciate your friends You will lose a thousand wars to lose your vanity You'll learn to distinguish good from evil, love from hate You'll learn to distinguish truth from lies Only if you learn to listen, if you are so humble, Will you give full meaning to your life Like a sweet dream may seem real Life can be a dream If you will have sought the truth You have found your peace Now you're really alone, the wind blows hard But your ship is strong, it can navigate Looking for true friends, true love, true life That are worth living for (Pre-Chorus) (Chorus)

The night has opened her black eyes She asks us "Close yours, please" She is too timid and too shy, and she is too afraid Of being hated for her coldness, for her silent peace Misjudged all men for her pure simplicity Embrace the stars and let them show you the way Sea, lull him in summer, wind take him far away My son, you have to learn to live with all natural forces Use them with all respect and they will respect you You are so small, you are so fragile, so pure and so sweet You will be man, you will be sage, your name is Ulysses You grow up strong and clever, you will become so sly Stronger than an eagle, more cunning than a fox Your live will be remembered forever And they will follow your forever And they will cry when heaven will take you away Dance with me under moonlight Dance with me on the seashore Dance with me and sing this song She is talking about life and love Don't be afraid of monsters, witches, disloyal subjects Angry and jealous gods, defeat them with your guile My son, as always they are the mirror of your fears Don't ever let them win, remover them from your mind You will be king - Love your queen as you love yourself You will be king - Guide your mind along the road back And she will love you forever There's nothing more important than your love (Chorus)

Like a parasite Cyclops suck my mind Huge mental distress Won't let me see I'm feeling like a fool and a stupid giant Deserve to be blind Deserve to be dead My instinct is like Circe She makes me like a beast She dominates my brain And makes it like a slave I am a prisoner Of my fucking dullness I am like a pig... Pig My soul is charmed by a voice She sings a sweet melody Then feelings are clouded by a nymph My heart cannot beat for her love Drugged by false paradise I waste my days and my life All this is mortal for me I must escape Before it's too late to be free... Free The brain is a strange thing It loves the easy and trivial Dullness, instinct, wealth Have an easy game And you lose your eyes And you lose your ears And you lose yourself... Yourself Open your mind to new thoughts Reason must beat your instinct Love must sincere and pure The struggle between false and true Every time that you win You give the right sense to your trip Every time that you lose You give more strength to your weakness More pleasure to pain... Pain

Run Away from your worst mistakes Run Forgiveness not given Run Forgiveness not asked from you Run Away from your hate And your fear of love From your treason From your nightmares From evil Light, you need light To warm your soul To dry your tears Fly To your island never forgotten To your son Fly To your wife She's waiting for you Fly To your friends never forgotten To your faithful dog To your warm home To peace Light, you need light To warm your soul To dry your tears Rage and strenght to hold Until the end Pages of blood to write At the end (Pre-Chorus) (Chorus)

Night, my friend, i sit on the seashore I'm looking at the sky, so I look in your eyes Don't be ashamed of your cold and sad loneliness I know her, she's here with me She knows how to listen to my deepest thoughts She knows how to talk to my feeble conscience I would like to tell her goodbye forever But i can't, not now, not yet Please, dry your eyes Do your stars shine For me... One of your stars will show me the way She i so firm and sure of herself She has always shown me the way in the past This time will be last I need my home I need my love My peace I need my peace Tell me why should I die alone In a land that will never be my Ithaca Tell me why i hope even now I can hug my dear son again Take me carry me away from here I'm going crazy I struggled a lifetime to find myself Take me, carry me home I've been far for too long Night, I am a man, I cannot live alone Night, dear friend, I am still here The horizon is clearing and soon will go Another day without meaning to live One more and still one more And I'll see you again I hope you'll grant my wish...

You, you'll never be able You will never be able to reach the shore You' you'll never survive You will never survive the wrath of Poseidon The great god of the sa will come upon your ship, Will not let you get to your home He will strike you with his strong waves You'll not be able, not be able to resist I'm clinging to life with my fingernails I will have to use all my strength Mountains of water and hate crash on me Do you want my death? You must try harder Sea god come and steal it, if you can Mountains of water and rage are crashing on me (Chorus) Sea, that I have always understood Sea, that I have always dominated Rebel against your bad god Aeolus! Father of all winds, take it easy now Rest a little, please, as in summertime In a moment from the highest sky Down to the darkest, deep abyss (Where are you, my sweet goddess?) A great confusion in my mind My great truth fades away Where are you, Athena? Crumbling mountains, full of my fears, will collapse (Chorus) Athena, my protector Please, help me again Come and stop the sea Spread your wings Sea eagle, flies closer to the sea I must found myself, I must found my light I must found my path, I must save my life My sweet goddess, my sweet friend, listen Stop all these waves and save me now

As a king twenty years ago Like a beggar now I am here Turned into an old man by my goddess I finally walk on my land Looking for a few faithful friends Just a son, a dog, a swineherd Enough for my just revenge Cleaned by my sweet nurse Euriclea She has loved me since I was child Recognised by her great wisdom and love My Penelope stops your tricks And makes sure that I can defy All rebels at my favourite game The arc will bend o kill them Traitors, this will be your last meal Traitors, your last game Traitors, you and your whores lovers All of your shall die They are profiting from my absence Unaware of their certain death Laughing with their fat open mouths, drooling You still make fun of me, bastards But I am not what I seem to be It will be a nice surprise, you'll see When I'll throw my revenge on you (Chorus) I see your eyes beg for mercy I hear your hearts beat faster Before dying
