Pompei
I slept for too many years Under a forest of oak trees Awakened by a strong deep pain Sense of oppression I must win I need to heal now. I cannot resist The grief overwhelms me. I need to heal now. I need to vent because It’s the natural process of life I can’t wait to spit out this poison I can’t wait to spit out this poison I can’t wait to spit out this poison I can’t wait to spit out this poison I slept for too many years But I’m awake now and pissed off It’ll take me three days (1) to recover, I know. Then I’ll can go to sleep again I’ll vomit my blood I’ll get a little dirty But there’s nothing I can do I’ll vomit my blood And then I’ll be much better At last my tremor will end. Tomorrow I’m sure I’ll find My calm and I’ll be quiet again. I need to free myself From this terrible pain. Now Fire I spit out the fire Fire My fire burns and my breath kills all life My fire burns and my breath kills all life My fire burns and my breath kills all life My fire burns and my breath kills all life I feel good! I feel much better now!!! The trees will grow stronger than before Who, better than me can make it clear Nothing can last forever, I know!! Pain, pleasure, peace, rage. Nothing can last forever, It all ends sooner or later. In this day of peace Everything can start again But with the fear of an early end Man, look at me whit respect and avoid being too close To me as I could wake up again with the same pain Note: 1) The eruption lasted 3 days

Welcome to the day of death To the day of harsh truth To the day of the earthquake Of consciences. Goodbye to your dreams of glory To your greatest love To the eager desire For power. Only The time For a Thought And life Goes out Smash From One firestorm, Glowing stones and toxic air Away, life runs away It’s not yours anymore The future is cancelled Welcome to the day when You have to deal with your worst past But today you have no time To repent Nothing will remain of you Nothing will remain of your name Life as thousands of other lives Forgotten. Only The time For a Thought And life Goes out Smash from A cruel fate Who has chosen you He has chosen you You among one million people You, has chosen you Tellus (1) that you’ve always prayed to It really made you a good joke He vomited his bowels of fire To break free Only the Time for A thought And life Goes out Smash From one Firestorm Glowing stones and toxic air Away, life runs away It’s not your anymore The future is cancelled You who listen to my words You who understand their meaning You have to stop your frantic race It is not necessary Live your life enjoying the present Correct the mistakes of the past You don’t have to plan for the future As nothing can last forever Only the Time for A thought And life Goes out Smash from A cruel fate Who could choose you He could choose you You among one million people You, he could choose you Note: 1) Tellus was an ancient god of the earth

People running Around like they’re crazy Trying to save their lives. A child is crying And seeking his mother She will not reply. Old ones resign Themselves to their fate Pray to their gods and cry. From the sky is raising hell Thousands of throats cry out. Pumice (1) fills the streets Legs can’t move and sink. The rich groan Clinging to their treasures To what end? Thieves attempt Absurd looting While death steals their souls. The poor let themselves go to a last Desperate embrace Buried alive in their homes Certain of their end. They all hope to live Certainly all ‘ll die!!! There are choices Priorities that nature cannot Justify to men Stupid to look for a reason why. The grey ash covers the faces And enters the lungs, Breathes break, hearts stop Eyes wide open Pleading for help. Now the city is drowned in pumice, Smothered by ashes But death is not yet satiated Still hungry for lives. Nature doesn’t know That it’s helping her. In the end Silent gas (2) will kill The few survivors Everywhere! Death sucked lives away Lives away It’s the end of everything A dark and immense peace filles the air Immense peace fills the air. Note: 1) pumice is a volcanic rock that, at high altitude, cools and fills with air. 2) lethal gas comes out of the bowels of the earth.

The mirror (1) warns me The danger you risk This light will save yours, Rectina. (2) My friend this time You don’t need love You need my courage and I will I’ll sail with the fastest Ship to help you Against a bloody wins as bloody is this day You must never worry I’ll always be there, Wait for me, I’m coming to you, I’m coming to you. This wind that I have, Always thought and won With my ships it seems has gone mad It became Stronger than my will, My will I feel your call Your memory is strong but Nature and gods Are against us A raging storm Is destroying my galley Extinguishing my hope My only hope. Water is cold and The shore is too far While I’m suffocating And sinking. In the sea That was my Life I regret Now being able To save you To save you To save you My dear. I regret not Being able To save you Note: 1) Along the coast were built high towers at the top of which were placed enormous circular adjustable mirrors that could send light signals miles away. 2) Rectina was a noblewoman friend of Plinius. Rectina was saved anyway and Plinius died convinced that he could not save her

People in the stands shout: kill him!!! While fighting in the arena, There is no hate Just a game of Blood, bets, life or death Until the end of the breath We are mercenaries, We don’t hate our adversaries, We are like caged animals, We are forced to fight To try to survive once again. What is The meaning of my life? Nonsense No one to find at home No future to plan No dreams to be realized Thanks to this survival instinct That keeps me going on Day by day but by night My dreams come true My thoughts take me far away And I imagine days of peace Lovely wife and beautiful children A house in which to grow old In serenity And die of a natural death Tonight Will be a night Such As any other I know that tonight It will be Another dream that seems real. But I cannot sleep tonight, Something different in the air, This is not the peace I dreamed of Strange silence all around As if the world was suddenly over The earth shakes and then explodes Fiery rocks fall from the sky, The air burns the eyes and the throat The gods want everything To end and I finally feel free I will no longer fight I’m so tired I just have to rest, I wish I could sleep Forever forever forever Fight for us, kill him gladiator! I’m flying above the clouds Like a big white eagle.

Look at the sky, a falling star, Feel this autumn breeze. The cloud hasn’t arrived yet But hugging you warms my heart. Stone on stone we’ll build our life, Day by day with love. In your eyes I read the desire For a life with me. We should enjoy This magic night of peace As if it were the last. Sweetly, mouth to mouth, And slowly close your eyes, Our dreams can become true. There will be difficulties But we’ll get through it If we stay together. There will be sad days but then There will be beautiful days. Fire from the sky Burn our dreams And a cold wind lifts our skin. And grey ash covers Your velvet skin Now all I see is your eyes looking for me. The desire to save you grows in me But I too am a prisoner like you What can I do? The ash is suffocating me And I feel that I no longer have the strength Hug me, hug me my love And hold me, hold me as tight as you can My love, we stay like this And left our last looks speak for us Don’t leave me, don’t leave me please, Swear to me that we will meet again Together in heaven of gods, Anywhere, as long as I am with you my sweetness I am with you my sweetness So we could live together So we could live forever We’ll free ourselves from this fear And we will fly in the sky like butterflies In love, in love, in love
