Terminate and Stay Resident
Don’t know the reason why I’m here Or why’s that gun here in my hand Did I survive ‘cause they tell us to? Or to see your face if I can get through? In times of peace you dried my tears These days I’d give so much to feel Even a bit of sadness here in me To wake the man sleeping in the beast Here I go Play my part: Seek and kill and then run Nothing but Flesh and bones And corpses all around All of my days just look the same As I go shooting men from behind without shame I hear your voice like an angel’s cry reaching hell Would you recognize me, the child pulling your dress? Would you still love me, if I told you how much I killed? Would you still teach me what life is? Would you take me back to where we left? Want to escape (No, you must stay!) Maybe you’ll see another day I’ll get away (You’ll go nowhere!) It’s all so hellish because All of my dreams are just the same I see all of my victims and I go insane, still I’ve made it, I’m here and I’m alive You taught me love ‘n I’m a killer, you wouldn’t be proud You’d tell me off if you knew it I am a soldier, but still your son. Here I go Play my part: Seek and kill and then run Nothing but skin and bones and corpses all around Take me Home! Shoot me down! Get me out of this mess! No you won’t Go back home Until war is over! Now I’m in the game I’ll have to play But I will see you once again While I’m away Don’t you forget What I was once: the child pulling your dress Will you still love me if I tell you about all the mess? Will you still teach me what Life is? Please take me back to where I belong

Look around, what do I see? Nothing that relieves me It’s just hypocrisy Surrounding me World is selling pain and greed But who is paying for this? The underclass demands Its stolen dignity Leaders at the expense of poor Unpunished crimes of fools We’re living on the razor-edge of a tragic doom Hopes die last And you will hear my voice We’re heading for a new dawn of freedom These idle days are over And we will stand together as one Money, fame and glory Shadows of your mind Drain your soul and make you believe They are the new gods. Life is in every second You live without worries So don’t waste your time And be proud of yourself You will rise up from the ashes Of your lazy past You will live in every breath This is my vision Happiness to fly and share you’ll find in what you have Your love, your skills, your friends Will save you from this hell Don’t try to reach out for golden treasures I’m here to say

You forget your dreams You give up your pride For that woman here you’d fuck up your life One day you awake What was your mistake? She has gone, she just flew away Did you buy the moon To get to her room? Were you searching for what you read in books? Hey my friend, wake up It’s another slut And she’s born to tear your heart away Yes my dear, you might spend some years Giving her your best, hiding all your fears See, sometimes, nightmares come alive So first, use your hand, then hear my advice: There is no thing she’ll ever say or do, that can’t turn to pain It’s a disease that saves your life, they call it gynophobia Took it so little for you to be possessed Remember it will take her even less to turn her back Just as you thought you were touching heaven That’s when you hit the ground Don’t you think there will be justice: there’s just one loser But don’t forget How many tears are you gonna cry before you learn? I’ve had my share, I’ve seen so much you wouldn’t bear Hey bitch stay away from me Maybe just one night or two we can meet Then go find some other fool This time it’s my will and no other rule I forgot my dreams I gave up my pride For a woman, once, I fucked up my life But now I’m awake, No more bad mistakes No attempts to my happiness Catch the stars to reach for her heart When you’ve done it once, then you’ll know them all I despise, I won’t pay the price I say use your hand, then hear my advice: There is no thing she’ll ever say or do, that can’t turn to pain It’s a disease that saves your life, they call it gynophobia There is no “yes” that you can still hear today, that can’t turn to “no” I might be nuts but I feel fine, I just caught this gynophobia.

Sometimes it’s hard to realize That all come and go in a blink of an eye So I leave my light, my power, my silence My love, my heart, my ashes, me! Take me away Wherever you may roam just hold My portrait inside your thoughts Don’t let me fade Like the smoke of pinewood Don’t let go the memory of me and you Tonight I am asking To that child inside me Soul of mine Where have you been all this time? I leave the thousand Stars of my thoughts My smile, my tears Falling down like stones I leave my universe, my music My poems never written My death, my last will

It was a peaceful night And the moon was full We were all asleep Yet something wasn’t right That September 2, 1666 A fire begun in the house and the shop of our King Charles’s baker in Pudding lane Sparks from the burning home they fell on hay in the yard of the Star Inn at Fish Street Hill The spreading flames from the inn Set light to St. Margaret The holy House of our Lord was on fire It spread in waves to a warehouse where Oil, spirits, hemp and hay were stored Eight a.m., some six hours later, more or less The Great Fire was halfway across London Bridge I woke up to screams and shouting everywhere Men came here in Seething Lane to call for me By the time I reached for the tower Three hundred houses were on fire I realized disaster threatened London so I hurried off to the Court in Whitehall With buckets, axes, ladders, squirts and fire hooks, and water from the river we fought the blaze Everyone gave his own best We had to build some fire breaks And there was no other way than to pull down houses We prayed our god to grant us strength When our supplies became too scarce There was so little time for action So much to do to save our town As we all thought it was over The Fire was still threatening Westminster The Duke of York prevented the disaster by ordering the destruction, of the paper house Within five days, the fire had ravaged London, and devastation lasted, for many years

(The storyteller): Listen my friend, Here is a tale that has to be told Whatever the form Back to a time When France and England Were both engaged in a great war Then lived a man that outstood them all… Still breathing through your history books…. Edward’s his name known as the Black Prince The Prince of Wales, he’s the King’s first son At only sixteen He was being knighted Serving his arm for the right to the Crown His unbelievable skills at war burst out In the Norman campaign he showed what he’s worth He came there crawling in He’s a shimmering soul on the field He is the Prince wearing black Finest blade of his time (King Edward III): “From up here my son, you see, We’re bound to notice the arrival of the enemy God give us the strength to fight To take back what is ours We shall never fail!” (The storyteller): Then the French were defeated Many more battles he would win Before through the years As if it was already written that he would never be King All this glory and might, it just seemed so unreal Here heading up Pouring blood for the glory of England Prince wearing black Bravest knight of his land There standing tall He’s awaiting his time to the throne He is the Prince wearing black Finest blade of his time

Staring at this blank wall No tears in our eyes Here we are Although I had never thought This day could ever come Moments spent together Are all that remain now But every time I try to catch them The feeling’s gone! We’ve grown together all the way Although we were not the same Through all these years we have kept trying so hard To reach each other’s minds Now time has come for us to part We’ll keep a space inside our heart And for the rest of all that’s been We’ll let it scatter in the wind How can I stand the flashbacks Overwhelming my eyes? I’ll wait for this silence To just swallow them all Ever since the first day We’d started our building Perfection did not seem so far to us A reign of love and trust Now it’s clear: foundations don’t hold any more It hurts so bad now that we feel its weight Crunching our chests We’re killing each other, can’t call the cops There’s no damn law for the broken hearts Shattered promises Buried light years away How can I stand the flashbacks Overwhelming my eyes? I’ll wait for this silence To just swallow them all Silence surrounding our shameful souls Tongues paralyzed holding bitter words Shattered promises Buried somewhere We gaze at each other, as daylight dies Our choice is made and we’ll pay its price How can I stand the flashbacks Overwhelming my eyes? I’ll wait for this silence To just swallow them all

It was a cold and misty winter’s night The first date at that cinema It was so hard to look you in the eyes A few days after I took you to that place We walked together, but not hand in hand The stars above us, but nothing shined as bright as your eyes I tried to speak, but those words don’t come easy I was shy, so were you, my feelings were trapped in me A sudden strength in my heart, let me tell you that our feelings So desperately held, could really become something more, like a never ending love You are my life, I can’t live without you I just wanna kiss you forever and you can trust in me When I say that we are ready to live our lives as one I’ll do everything for you, ‘cause you’re the most precious thing in this world When I look into your eyes, my Heart starts to beat As fast as He can I dreamt every night I could call you “my girl” And you were there, giving me a chance Lost in your grace, I swore I’d never go away I can’t explain what happened to me It was like a river flowing Like it goes to the sea, so my feelings became an ocean of love when we first kissed. Something grew in me Somethin’ I had never felt before You must be true to your heart, you must believe in me my never ending dream, I’ll be always with you, I didn’t believe in Heaven, but now I do cause I’ve found an Angel, you give me new life I just wanna kiss you forever and you can trust in me When I say that we are ready to live our lives as one I’ll do everything for you, ‘cause you’re the most precious thing in this world When I look into your eyes, my Heart starts to beat As fast as He can

[Music & lyrics: A. Gori] Watching the sky I saw a sparkling metal vulture coming to bring us death Sorrow and pain I canât explain what I felt Staring in agony I tried to find the answers to that cruel tragedy No way to escape It still burns in me A light, then fire and a smashing roar Suddenly all I could see was a plain of destruction, dust and fear Once I saw the children play Now they are only ashes, shadows in that merciless wind 6th of August 1945 ready to take off from Tinian The Great Artiste, Necessary Evil and keeper of Little Boy The Enola Gay was its name Hey Colonel Tibbets, your mom wouldâve been proud to see Her name put into history Surely you didnât know that you were changing The course of that evil conflict The T-Bridge was near, so the target reached Hiroshima took it easy because no one thought That just one aircraft could destroy everything It was 8:15 when Little Boy was dropped Then they just had to wait Less than one minute And 80 thousands were killed in a blink of an eye Casting shadows across this noble land, Is this our hopeless last stand? Losing faith in this mankind I wish I had never seen that weâve lost our mind Black rain fell on my head And it burned instead. We were all going insane, All we could feel was pain. Future seemed far away In that damned doomsday But it was not the end âcause they came again Once again! Once reached Kokura There were too many clouds and Bockscar couldnât see the ground So they headed for Nagasaki This second target was found A brick in the sky And Captain Beahan decided to release Fat Man Another blink of an eye And 40 thousands died! Casting shadows across this noble land is this our hopeless last stand? Losing faith in this mankind I wish I had never seen that weâve lost our mind War is always a failure of the man Thereâs no one else to blame We must do all that we can So that we never forget this shame

Lost in a maze of sadness I wonder if I’m the only one Who feels the daily pressure To be always judged, for what I have done I can’t sleep safe and sound, (no more!) And all I do is bound (to fail!) Get me out of this hell This paralyzing spell I wanted to fly Reach for the stars But my desires were just a big lie Now here on my own I can see the world Spinning around me, out of control Locked in this cage of madness I want to break out and renew my life Leave all my joys and sorrows Release the beast I’m hiding inside I lie awake, (I’m in a fix!) I see myself (lost in a mist!) I’m feeling so sinful I won’t play by the rules I wanted to fly Reach for the stars But my desires were just a big lie Now here on my own I can see the world Spinning around me, out of control Suffocated by this power play I’m a soldier of fortune, but not insane What can I do? Will I go the distance And will I give up my pride? Forgive me son But now I am part of the crime What is wrong and what is right It doesn’t belong to me anymore ‘cause I’m a Masked demon, now I choose my path be a deathbringer or just a man Suffocated by this power play I’m a soldier of fortune, but not insane Masked demon, now I choose my path be a deathbringer or just a man
