Daltonici, presbiti, mendicanti di vista
il mercante di luce, il vostro oculista,
ora vuole soltanto clienti speciali
che non sanno che farne di occhi normali.
Non più ottico ma spacciatore di lenti
per improvvisare occhi contenti,
perché le pupille abituate a copiare
inventino i mondi sui quali guardare.
Seguite con me questi occhi sognare,
fuggire dall'orbita e non voler ritornare.
Vedo che salgo a rubare il sole
per non aver più notti,
perché non cada in reti di tramonto,
l'ho chiuso nei miei occhi,
e chi avrà freddo
lungo il mio sguardo si dovrà scaldare.
Vedo i fiumi dentro le mie vene,
cercano il loro mare,
rompono gli argini,
trovano cieli da fotografare.
Sangue che scorre senza fantasia
porta tumori di malinconia.
Vedo gendarmi pascolare
donne chine sulla rugiada,
rosse le lingue al polline dei fiori
ma dov'è l'ape regina?
Forse è volata ai nidi dell'aurora,
forse volata, forse più non vola.
Vedo gli amici ancora sulla strada,
loro non hanno fretta,
rubano ancora al sonno l'allegria
all'alba un po' di notte:
e poi la luce, luce che trasforma
il mondo in un giocattolo.
Faremo gli occhiali così!
Faremo gli occhiali così!
Un Matto (Fabrizio De Andrè)
Tu prova ad avere un mondo nel cuore
e non riesci ad esprimerlo con le parole,
e la luce del giorno si divide la piazza
tra un villaggio che ride e te, lo scemo, che passa,
e neppure la notte ti lascia da solo:
gli altri sognan se stessi e tu sogni di loro
E sì, anche tu andresti a cercare
le parole sicure per farti ascoltare:
per stupire mezz'ora basta un libro di storia,
io cercai di imparare la Treccani a memoria,
e dopo maiale, Majakowsky, malfatto,
continuarono gli altri fino a leggermi matto.
E senza sapere a chi dovessi la vita
in un manicomio io l'ho restituita:
qui sulla collina dormo malvolentieri
eppure c'è luce ormai nei miei pensieri,
qui nella penombra ora invento parole
ma rimpiango una luce, la luce del sole.
Le mie ossa regalano ancora alla vita:
le regalano ancora erba fiorita.
Ma la vita è rimasta nelle voci in sordina
di chi ha perso lo scemo e lo piange in collina;
di chi ancora bisbiglia con la stessa ironia
"Una morte pietosa lo strappò alla pazzia".

Hotel Supramonte (Fabrizio De Andrè)
E se vai all'Hotel Supramonte e guardi il cielo
tu vedrai una donna in fiammme e un uomo solo
e una lettera vera di notte falsa di giorno
e poi scuse accuse e scuse senza ritorno
e ora viaggi ridi vivi o sei perduta
nel tuo ordine discreto dentro il cuore
ma dove, dov'è il tuo amore
ma dove è finito il tuo amore.
Grazie al cielo ho una bocca per bere e non è facile
grazie a te ho una barca da scrivere ho un treno da perdere
e un invito all'Hotel Supramonnte dove ho visto la neve
sul tuo sorpo così dolce di fame così dolce di sete
passerà anche questa stazione senza far male
passerà questa pioggia sottile come passa il dolore
ma dove, dov'è il tuo cuore
ma dove è finito il tuo cuore.
E ora siedo sul letto del bosco che ormai ha il tuo nome
ora il tempo è un signore distratto è un bambino che dorme
ma se ti svegli e hai ancora paura ridammi la mano
cosa importa se sono caduto se sono lontano
perché domani sarà un giorno lungo e senza parole
perché domani sarà un giorno incerto di nuvole e sole
ma dove, dov'è il tuo amore
ma dove è finito il tuo amore.

Bocca di Rosa (Fabrizio De Andrè)
La chiamavano bocca di rosa
metteva l'amore, metteva l'amore.
La chiamavano bocca di rosa,
metteva l'amore sopra ogni cosa.
Appena scesa alla stazione
del paesino di Sant'Ilario
tutti s'accorsero con uno sguardo
che non si trattava di un missionario.
C' chi l'amore lo fa per noia,
chi se lo sceglie per professione
Bocca di rosa n l'uno n l'altro
lei lo faceva per passione.
La passione spesso conduce
a soddisfare alle proprie voglie
senza indagare se il concupito
ha il cuore libero oppure ha moglie.
E fu cos che da un giorno all'altro
Bocca di rosa si tir addosso
l'ira funesta delle cagnette
a cui aveva sottratto l'osso.
Ma le comari di un paesino
non brillano certo in iniziativa
le contromisure fino a quel punto
si limitavano all'invettiva.
Si sa che la gente da' buoni consigli
sentendosi come Ges nel tempio
Si sa che la gente da' buoni consigli
se non pu pi dare il cattivo esempio.
Cos una vecchia mai stata moglie,
senza mai figli, senza pi voglie
si prese la briga, di certo il gusto
di dare a tutte il consiglio giusto.
E rivolgendosi alle cornute
le apostrof con parole argute:
"il furto d'amore sar punito- disse -
dall'ordine costituito".
Quelle andarono dal commissario
e dissero senza parafrasare:
"Quella schifosa ha gi troppi clienti
pi di un consorzio alimentare".
Ed arrivarono quattro gendarmi
con i pennacchi con i pennacchi.
Ed arrivarono quattro gendarmi
con i pennacchi e con le armi.
Ma il cuore tenero nonuna dote
di cui son colmi i carabinieri
ma quella volta a prendere il treno
l'accompagnarono mal volentieri.
Alla stazione c'erano tutti
dal commissario al sagrestano
Alla stazione c'erano tutti
con gli occhi rossi e il cappello in mano
A salutare chi per un poco
senza pretese, senza pretese.
A salutare chi per un poco
port l'amore nel paese.
C'era un cartello giallo
con una scritta nera
diceva: "Addio Bocca di rosa
con te se ne parte la primavera".
Ma la notizia un po' originale
non ha bisogno di alcun giornale
come una freccia dall'alto scocca
vola veloce di bocca in bocca.
Alla stazione successiva
molta pi gente di quando partiva
Chi manda un bacio chi getta un fiore
chi si prenota per due ore.
Persino il parroco che non disprezza
tra un miserere e un'estrema unzione
il bene effimero della bellezza
la vuole accanto in processione.
Con la Vergine in prima fila
lei Bocca di rosa poco lontano
portano a spasso per il paese
l'amore sacro e l'amor profano!
metteva l'amore, metteva l'amore.
La chiamavano bocca di rosa,
metteva l'amore sopra ogni cosa.

Un Blasfemo (Fabrizio De Andrè)
Mai più mi chinai e nemmeno su un fiore,
più non arrossii nel rubare l'amore
dal momento che Inverno mi convinse che Dio
non sarebbe arrossito rubandomi il mio.
Mi arrestarono un giorno per le donne ed il vino,
non avevano leggi per punire un blasfemo,
non mi uccise la morte, ma due guardie bigotte,
mi cercarono l'anima a forza di botte.
Perché dissi che Dio imbrogliò il primo uomo,
lo costrinse a viaggiare una vita da scemo,
nel giardino incantato lo costrinse a sognare,
a ignorare che al mondo c'e' il bene e c'è il male.
Quando vide che l'uomo allungava le dita
a rubargli il mistero di una mela proibita
per paura che ormai non avesse padroni
lo fermò con la morte, inventò le stagioni.
... mi cercarono l'anima a forza di botte...
E se furon due guardie a fermarmi la vita,
è proprio qui sulla terra la mela proibita,
e non Dio, ma qualcuno che per noi l'ha inventato,
ci costringe a sognare in un giardino incantato,
ci costringe a sognare in un giardino incantato
ci costringe a sognare in un giardino incantato.

Nothing else matters (Metallica)
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are

Every day for us something new

Once And Future King (Kamelot)
Long time ago
the seed was sown
a child born in Uther's name
concieved in sin
the future King
a new realm of truth proclaimed
they came from far
to meet this man
they saw he was just and wise
the flags unfold
the fires rise
reflecting the hate in his eyes
fighting for the crown
pride and honor to be found
born from sin
into Merlin's hand
once and future king
vowed to return again
in moonlit haze
among the hills
Sir Mordred, Morgana's shade
would slay his king
forever cling
to darkness his powers fade
fighting for the crown
pride and honor to be found
born from sin
into Merlin's hand
once and future king
vowed to return again
Bedivere, my best of knights
this sword I beg you take
to the place where it belongs
and throw it in the lake
into the war
forever more
the nation follow the chosen one
as when alive
his will survives
to rest on the island of Avalon

Elizabeth: III. Fall From Grace
breathe in deep
smell these halls of hate
carve your name into these walls
before it is too late
cold and twisted
they resisted
what was I to do
all I ever wanted was
a fraction of the truth
walking in the shadows
of my blackened mind
lost inside this shallow
vanity of time
what if there's a God a hell and heaven
fire is the torment I must face
dying by the souls I have forsaken
no one's going to catch my fall from grace
(bleed on me)
watch me from your cage
as I rejoin my painful prime
(suffer and exhale)
you and I are relics
we provoke and we recline
walking in the shadows
of my blackened mind
angels crave my sorrow
sorrow they will find
what if there's a God a hell and heaven
fire is the torment I must face
dying by the souls I have forsaken
no one's going to catch my fall from grace

Elizabeth: II. Requiem For The Innocent (Kamelot)
Mother can you hold me
one more time again
whisper "I still love you? in my ear
mother did you lie
would you tell me why
there is something deeper that I fear
justify the malice I portray
daggers in the darkness find your way
when the moon is full and piercing bright
drench me with your innocence tonight
don't you want to die
walk beside me evermore
don't you feel alive
like you've never felt before
visions of the future
unprofound and blurred
I have passed the point of no return
justify the malice I portray
let me keep my beauty one more day
when the moon is full and piercing bright
drench me with your innocence tonight
don't you want to die
walk beside me evermore
don't you feel alive
like you've never felt before
don't you want to die
souls transcending, silver shine
don't you feel alive
your blood preserves my place in time
one more time again
whisper "I still love you? in my ear
mother did you lie
would you tell me why
there is something deeper that I fear
justify the malice I portray

Elizabeth: I. Mirror Mirror (Kamelot)
Mirror can you tell me
how to stay forever young
let me know the secret
I will hold my twisted tongue
please protect my beauty
velvet skin so pure and white
hear my name resounding
like a hymn at dead of night
once I struck a servant
she's a virgin free from sin
drops of blood caressed me
and refined my aging skin
could this be the answer
uncorrupted carmine red
voices keep resounding
in my dazed bewildered head
have I found myself eternity
someone has heard my prayers
now I'll become divine
have I found myself divinity
I'm no longer a slave
to the vicious hands of time
how to stay forever young
let me know the secret
I will hold my twisted tongue
please protect my beauty
velvet skin so pure and white
hear my name resounding
like a hymn at dead of night

Across The Highlands (Kamelot)
I've been witness to so many wars
that I'm blind to affliction
no ability left to remorse
it's my faith and conviction
wide awake
in this world
full of hate
I unfurl
but I am damned
if life itself is condemnation
I am immortal
thus my freedom is captivity
flying all across the highlands
searching for a way
to finalize my history
rising high above the mountains
reaching for the sky
closer to my sanctuary
all my life I've been trying to die
reach complete segregation
I am ready to open my eyes
to a new revelation
lost in time
there's no place
for my soul
in his embrace
for I am damned
if life itself is condemnation
I am immortal
thus my freedom is captivity
bound to live eternally
However; the line thus my freedom is captivity is incorrect.
the correct line for the second and third time they sing this
bridge is:
I am immortal
and I can't escape my destiny.

Temples Of Gold
I see you when it snows
in crystals dancing down
from a sultry sky
when silence is pure and unbreakable
I can see you smiling
in every frozen tear
I can hear you whisper "You and I?
little did we know
that they were life itself
the days passing by
we both had our share in the sacrifice
once upon a time
we had something beautiful
once upon a time
I thought "you and I?
take me wherever
the answer lingers in the sand
show me the way as the story unfolds
love is remote
in this wailing winter wonderland
show me the way to the temples of gold
bless me with a kiss
across the universe
when day and night converge
and whisper my name till I fall asleep
tell me tales from days bygone
tell me little lies
tell me once again it's just "you and I?

The Light I Shine On You (Kamelot)
Yet a day is dawning
I am sad but also strong
this gift that I've been given
tells me where I do belong
falling I'm falling down
and you recall my strength
time will slowly pull me under
but you will catch my breath
this is a praise to all of you
cause the light I shine on you
is what you gave to me
I'm a crystal clear and true
I'm your cairn and creed
you think that I'm a mountain
but there's a price I have to pay
for the love I have forsaken
can never be replaced
crying I'm crying out
be careful with my soul
unbounded I'm like water
but so fragile in the cold
and this is a praise to all of you
cause the light I shine on you
is what you gave to me
I'm a crystal clear and true
I'm your cairn and creed
the mysteries of life
take us high and low
the road can be long
it seems
someone is lost
but no one is free
falling I'm falling down
into your open arms
each and every gathered glow
maintains my shining star
this is a praise to all of you...
I am sad but also strong
this gift that I've been given
tells me where I do belong
falling I'm falling down
and you recall my strength
time will slowly pull me under
but you will catch my breath
this is a praise to all of you
cause the light I shine on you
is what you gave to me
I'm a crystal clear and true
I'm your cairn and creed
you think that I'm a mountain
but there's a price I have to pay
for the love I have forsaken
can never be replaced
crying I'm crying out
be careful with my soul
unbounded I'm like water
but so fragile in the cold
and this is a praise to all of you
cause the light I shine on you
is what you gave to me
I'm a crystal clear and true
I'm your cairn and creed
the mysteries of life
take us high and low
the road can be long
it seems
someone is lost
but no one is free
falling I'm falling down
into your open arms
each and every gathered glow
maintains my shining star
this is a praise to all of you...
Don't You Cry (Kamelot)
Little by little
I've come to this point
on my own I've been searching my way
I lost you so early
the days went so fast
you don't know how I prayed every day
a song to remember
a song to forget
you'll never know how I tried
to make you proud
and to honor your name but
you never told me goodbye
now that your are gone
casting shadows from the past
you and all the memories will last
don't you cry
or suffer over me
I will be waiting for you
don't you cry
angels never fade away
I'll be watching over you
see you through
now I'm a man and
I'm feeling you still
could it be you were there all along
a time to surrender
a time to forgive
with solace I give you this song
now that you are gone
casting shadows from the past
in my dreams I hear your voice at last
don't you cry
or suffer over me
I will be waiting for you
don't you cry
angels never fade away
I'll be watching over you
see you through
I can see you tonight
in the pale winter light
father and son again
the bond of blood will never end

The Spell (Kamelot)
Where has all the magic gone
lost behind or lost along
a victim of the pulse of our society
don't you miss the ancient times
the riddles and the subtle signs
a relative perspective on reality
I get stronger in the splendor
of a lucid moon
only creatures of the night
all my demons cast a spell
the souls of dusk rising from the ashes
so the book of shadows tell
the weak will always obey the master
heading for the dragons lair
another time and a different sphere
I leave the nothingness behind
and when the sense of logic yields
I'll escape the outer shields
into the universal mind
I get stronger in the splendor
of a lucid moon
only creatures of the night
can heal my wounds
lost behind or lost along

Wings Of Despair (Kamelot)
Sometimes my visions
are distant and vague
down at the base
of the mountain
once in a while I am
weak and afraid
tired and sick of it all
I don't believe
that my story is set
nothing is destined
or blatant
bound to this body
a world full of hate
no one will heed if I fall
no one can see it
but you know that it's there
guiding the steps of your soul
holding the truth
in the cross that you bear
die with a heart that is bold
fly on the wings of despair
no one is holding you back
the call of the wild is internal
conquer the silence you fear
tomorrow will not fade to black
a new day is dawning
remember
no one can save you today
the questions are more
than the answers I know
that doesn't mean you are lonely
searching for more
consecutive goal's
making it worth to go on
no one can see it
but you know that it's there
guiding the steps of your soul
holding the truth
in the cross that you bear
die with a heart that is bold
fly on the wings of despair
no one is holding you back
the call of the wild is internal
conquer the silence you fear
tomorrow will not fade to black
a new day is dawning
remember
no one can save you today
you, and you alone
is forging the path
leave your sorrows with the past
never believe
that the story is set
nothing is destined
or blatant
bound to this body
a world full of hate
no one will heed if you fall
are distant and vague
down at the base
of the mountain

Forever (Kamelot)
There's a pain within
that I can't define
there's an empty space
where your love used to shine
from the night we met
till the day you died
do you think I wished
do you still believe I tried
all too soon we were divided
and life had just begun
will you revive
from the chaos in my mind
where we still are bound together
will you be there
waiting by the gates of dawn
when I close my eyes forever
I belong to you
you belong to me
it's the way things are
always meant to be
like the morning star
and the rising sun
you convey my life
and forgive me what I've done
all too soon we were divided
into darkness and light
will you revive
from the chaos in my mind
where we still are bound together
will you be there
waiting by the gates of dawn
when I close my eyes forever
save me
reverse how I'm thinking of you
every breath I take
brings me closer
closer to forever, to you
I'm waiting for the day that I'm gone
that I can't define
there's an empty space
where your love used to shine
from the night we met
till the day you died
do you think I wished
do you still believe I tried
all too soon we were divided
and life had just begun
will you revive
from the chaos in my mind
where we still are bound together
will you be there
waiting by the gates of dawn
when I close my eyes forever
I belong to you
you belong to me

I'm waiting for the day that I'm gone
Karma (Kamelot)
I am a king of honor
gold and glory
but every king must also die
have I been just and righteous
what is glory
I know I've torn and taken life
and here I stand
a small and simple man
who will trade his karma for my kingdom
a sacrificial rite to render truth
the fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
cause all you do in life comes back to you
I am a king in crisis
counting minutes
there is an ending to my reign
my sins have come to face me
I can feel it
that I have lived my life in vain
and now I know I'll reap
the seeds I've sown
who will trade his karma for my kingdom
a sacrificial rite to render truth
the fire in my soul rejects my wisdom
cause all you do in life comes back to you
am I mad
I feel so void and cold
who can tell
who holds the stories untold
tired and trembling
I am descending
will I have to stay here
and live this life again
gold and glory
but every king must also die
have I been just and righteous
what is glory
I know I've torn and taken life

In The End (Linkin Park)
It starts with one thing
I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
Wasting it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try, keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme, to remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so (far)
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me (in the end)
You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end

One step closer (Linkin Park)
I cannot take this anymore
Saying everything I've said before
All these words they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you'll say
You'll find that out anyway
Just like before...
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
I'm about to break
I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
Just like before...
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
I'm about to break
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
Shut up when I'm talking to you
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Shut up when I'm talking to you
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
I'm about to BREAK
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe

Mad World (Gary Jules feat Tears for Fears / Donnie Darko Ost)
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
no expression
No expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
no tomorrow
No tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which i´m dying
Are the best i´ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
´cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It´s a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen
Sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me
No one knew me
Now the teacher tells me what´s my lesson
Look right through me
Look right through me
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which i´m dying
Are the best i´ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
´cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It´s a very very

Kiss me Goodbye (Angela Aki / Final Fantasy XII Ost)
---===English Version===---
You say that my love is all you need to see you through
But I know these words are not quite true
So here is the path you're looking for, an open door
Leading to worlds you long to explore
Go if you must move on alone
I'm gonna make it on my own
Kiss me good-bye, love's memory
Follow your heart and find your destiny
Won't shed a tear for love's mortality
For you put the dream in my reality
As time goes by I know you'll see this of me
I loved you enough to let you go free
Go, I will give you wings to fly
Cast all your fears into the sky
Kiss me good-bye, love's mystery
All of my life I'll hold you close to me
Won't shed a tear for love's mortality
For you put the dream in my reality
Kiss me good-bye, love's memory
You put the dream in my reality
