“LEAVES ON MY BODY”
FEEL MY BODY AND FEEL MY EMOTION
CAN YOU SEE THE LEAVES HIDING MY SKIN?
ALL MY SENSES ARE BECOMING STRONGER
AND THE BRANCHES ARE SURROUNDING ME
AND IF YOU LISTEN CLOSELY YOU’LL FIND MYSTERIES
TREES ARE TALKING LOUD AND THEY WANT YOUR SOUL
THIS IS HOW I DECIDED TO FOLLOW THEM
THEY’RE TELLING TALES OF LIFE, NATURE AND SORROW
LEAVES ON MY BODY
LEAVES ON MY SKIN
THINKING ABOUT MY DAYS PAST
WHY SHOULD I GO ON LIKE THIS?
I SEE THE TREES ARE CALLING
THERE’S NO OTHER PLACE FOR ME
I’M STANDING ALONE, TONIGHT
I HAVE MADE MY CHOICE, TONIGHT
FIRST I SAID: OK, COME TAKE MY BODY
THEN I CRIED: OK, COME TAKE MY SOUL
SO THEY STARTED TO CREEP ON MY LEGS, AND
SLOWLY LEAVES AND BRANCHES GOT WITHIN ME
I FELT AN INNER STRENGTH GROWIN’ THROUGH MY ARMS
MY HANDS COULD REACH THE SKY, MY EYES WERE FLASHING
I WONDER IF YOU’LL DECIDE TO FOLLOW ME
I’LL TELL YOU TALES OF LIFE, NATURE AND SORROW
LEAVES ON MY BODY
LEAVES ON MY SKIN
LEAVES ON MY BODY
LEAVES ON MY SKIN

“CRAZY WIND”
Among the trees, one day, Wind woke up
And happy ran away to discover
what first he only had always dreamed about
and believed unreal.
Among the trees one day they saw Wind playing
uprooting from the earth the tender life.
He showed them destruction - just a game -
So many cried and died!
But it wasn’t the End
as everybody thought,
no – no - no...
Oh, it was just joyful Wind,
who had understood
he was the King!
Among the trees, one day, Wind rose up.
he had been sleeping so long, now he’s ready
he wanted to come out and play with many friends
playing lots of games.
Nobody could find shelter from the storm
he was too glad to stop it, he wanted more
life may be strange when you wake up from your dreams
Running through fields and swirling around, tornado,
many lands were destroyed bringing so much pain
He showed them destruction - just a game -
So many cried and died!
But it wasn’t the End
as everybody thought,
no – no -no...
Oh, it was just joyful Wind,
who had understood
he was the King!

“Naughty”
I’m guilty when I take it easy
My crime is to be easygoing
I can’t stand who wants to give me a good talking-to
Naughty, I’m just a naughty girl
Question, nothing’s the answer
And I’m sorry, you won’t be satisfied
Changing is not my solution
I want to get old like a bad bad naughty girl
Wakeful, my wakeful nights
And I can’t sleep, just can’t close my eyes
I feel so strange, I can breathe the magic
In my room, but they say I’m crazy
Question, nothing’s the answer.....
Who’s the holder of the Comprehension
Who’s the holder of the Comprehension
I can’t stand your good talking-to
I’m the owner of my Comprehension
And I can’t stand your good talking-to
Guilty when I take it easy
My crime is to be easygoing
I can’t stand who wants to give me a good talking-to
Naughty, I’m just a naughty girl
Question, nothing’s the answer
And I’m sorry, you won’t be satisfied
Changing is not my solution
I want to get old like a bad bad naughty girl

My Kingdom

“My Kingdom”
Looking outside of my temple
I see my Kingdom, my richness
coloUrs and sounds full of life, there
fighting with my desolation
Years and years with my servants
Solitude sleeps in my bedroom
Agony down in the dungeons
I am the queen of the Nonsense
*Just the same every night
I can’t sleep, BEcause I’M tired ONLY in my mind
Years and years with my servants
Solitude sleeps in my bedroom
Agony down in the dungeons
I am the queen of the Nonsense.
Looking outside of my prison
so many times I’ve been trying
this is the darkest damnation
I lost the key to my freedom
* JUST...
WALKING OUTSIDE IN MY GARDEN
FLOWERS ARE A SYMPHONY OF COLORS
BUT WHEN I TRY TO GET THEM INSIDE
STEMS DIE AND LEAVES FALL TO THE GROUND
I CAN’T RECALL THIS WITCHCRAFT
THE REASON OF ALL THIS EMPTINESS
AND I STILL CAN’T FIND MY WAY OUT
I’M SO ALONE IN MY KINGDOM
It’s the same every day - all my life in these walls
It’s the same every NIGHT - because Death left me here all alone - Death has forgotten to set me free!
This is the darkest damnation
I lost the key to my FREEDOM

“SOLITARY FIELDS”
WALKING ON THIS ROAD, THE WIND WILL BLOW
BETWEEN MY HAIR, BETWEEN MY SOUL.
FROM THESE SOLITARY FIELDS NO ONE CAN SEE ME,
THERE IS NO ONE HERE, I WALK ALONE.
WARM WIND, COME, COMFORT ME, PLEASE DRY MY TEARS
PLEASE HOLD MY HEART, AND COME WITH ME.
ONLY BLUE SKY OVER ME, JUST MY SHADOW BEHIND ME
OH, WHERE ARE YOU? WILL YOU FIND ME?
IS THERE ANYONE HERE? OH, WILL ANYONE HEAR?
PRAYING MY LORD, PLEASE REACH ME ONCE AGAIN
FALLING DOWN AND RISING UP, I JUST KEEP MY CONTROL
ECHOES OF MY PAST ARE LOUD, OH THEY'RE TOO LOUD
AND I CAN’T HEAR YOUR VOICE NOW.
IS THERE ANYONE HERE? OH, WILL ANYONE HEAR?
PRAYING MY LORD, PLEASE REACH ME ONCE AGAIN
FALLING DOWN AND RISING UP, I JUST KEEP MY CONTROL
ECHOES OF MY PAST ARE LOUD, OH THEY'RE TOO LOUD
AND I CAN’T HEAR YOUR VOICE NOW.

“BLACK NIGHTMARE”
BEHIND MY SHOULDERS, THE DARKNESS COLD
TREMBLING I’M FEELING TWO EYES DOWN THERE
I DON’T KNOW HOW, BUT I’M SURE IT’S SOME KIND OF GHOST
SPIRITUAL BEEINGS ARE STARING AT ME
FEAR’S CREEPING SLOWLY INSIDE MY BRAIN
TERROR AND PANIC ARE GETTING ME
HORROR AND PAIN ENTERING MY ROOM
I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING ALL AROUND ME
*** AND THEN HE APPEARED WITH HATE IN HIS EYES
HE WAS SURE HE’D BRING ME INSIDE HIS HELL
AND HE TOLD ME “LADY, YOU CAN’T SURVIVE”
HE WAS SCARY, CRAZY, EVIL INSIDE.
I COULD FEEL HIS POWER FLOWIN’ IN MY VEINS
I CAN’T EXPLAIN HIS WICKEDNESS
AND HE TOLD ME “LADY GET ON YOUR KNEES,
BECAUSE I’M THE DEVIL AND I WILL REIGN”.
YOU WILL NEVER GET ME
I WILL NEVER SERV YOU
I BELIEVE IN MY WORLD
LIGHT IS GONNA SAVE ME
OUR FIGHT WAS HARD AND I WAS AFRAID
FEELING SO WEAK, BUT I HAD TO WIN
AND SLOWLY ALL THE GHOSTS BECAME MUCH TOO PALE
SPIRITUAL BEEINGS WERE FLOWIN’ AWAY
*** AND THEN HE APPEARED WITH HATE IN HIS EYES....

Ballad of Shadows

"Ballad of shadows"
In a dark forest, in the shadows of trees
if you observe carefully, you’ll see a faint flicker.
A small creature squatting on a rock,
is dreaming of a mate between long-time shadows.
Completely absorbed, transported by dreams,
he had not noticed that he had long been dead.
He tried, he desired, he hoped,
but his hoped world and his desired friend
were right behind him, hidden by the shadows of life.
In a dark forest, in the shadows of trees
if you observe carefully, you’ll see a faint flicker.
A small creature squatting on a rock,
is dreaming of a mate between long-time shadows.
If only he knew, he would turn
and he would have lived, and he would have lived..
He tried, he desired, he hoped,
but his hoped world and his desired friend
were right behind him, hidden by the shadows of life.

“PAGES FOR FOOLS”
PAGES, PAGES I’VE BEEN WRITING
TO ESCAPE FROM MY DESOLATE MADNESS…
QUESTIONS RUNNING IN MY MIND
THE ANSWERS ARE A FOGGY NIGHT…
JUST ONE FOOT IN THE ABYSS
MAYBE SOMETHING’S GONNA SAVE ME…
EVERYTHING NOW DISAPPEARS
AND I FIND MYSELF IN THE DARK
I’VE GOT TO PAINT THE WORLD AGAIN
IT WILL BE DIFFERENT AND MAYBE I’LL LOVE IT (X2)
BUT IT’S – OHHHHH
JUST A HOPE, AN ILLUSION, A DREAM
OHHHHHH - I SEE FOG IN A FOGGY NIGHT
PAGES, PAGES I’VE BEEN WRITING
TO ESCAPE FROM MY DESOLATE MADNESS
QUESTIONS RUNNING IN MY MIND
THE ANSWERS ARE A FOGGY NIGHT
JUST ONE FOOT IN THE ABYSS
BUT SOMETHING’S GONNA SAVE ME
AND THE ABYSS SEEMS SO CLOSE
AND THE ABYSS COMES SO NEAR
I FEEL SCARED AND I FEEL LOST
SHOULD I FIGHT OR SHED A TEAR?
BUT IT’S – OHHHHH
AN ILLUSION IS BECOMING REAL
OHHHHHH - IN THIS FOG I CAN SEE A LIGHT

“Angel”
A-n-g-el put your hands on my skin
What a thrill when I see him: that’s my man!
Girls, my friends, I tell you, I’m gonna marry that fellow
It’s time to play the woman, I’m gonna marry that fellow
Mother of my own man, I’m gonna say that word
Wife of my own children, I’m gonna say that word: yes
And please don’t call me, please don’t look for me
Forget my dreams, and get into my grave…
A-n-g-el, wait a moment, darling
I am thinking, I’m still thinking my way
I have changed my mind, sorry for wasted time
Take your hands back, don’t drool on my neck
Girls, my friends, I tell you, I won’t marry that fellow
It’s time to be a woman, I’ll never say that word: yes
So come and call me, come and get me
Take my hand, and don’t give me no ring
A-n-g-el… A-n-g-el…
So come and call me, come and get me
Take my hand, and don’t give me no ring
A-n-g-el… A-n-g-el…
Girls, my friends, I tell you, I won’t marry that fellow
It’s time to be a woman, I’ll never say that word: yes
So come and call me, come and get me
Take my hand, and don’t give me no ring
A-n-g-el… A-n-g-el…

“WOODS”
Trees, keep on watching me, keep on making grow
Your roots in my bones, my spirit is yours.
It has green leaves and it’s looking for the light
The light, my lymph of life.
I stretch out my arms through the earth that dominates me
Now it hides me and it drinks my blood…
I just can’t remember who put my body down here
All I know is that one day I died.
through the years my spirit lives, my body’s growing fast
I eat the earth and the earth eats me.
But one day I’ll bloom again and come to surface
And my food will be who walks in the wood
He’ll see the product of his madness
I’m his creature and I will revenge myself…
Trees, keep on watching me, keep on making grow
Your roots in my bones, my spirit is yours.
It has green leaves and it’s looking for the light
The light, my lymph of life.
Then one day I’ll bloom again and come to surface
And my food will be who walks in the wood
He’ll see the product of his madness
I’m his creature and I will revenge myself…
