1.	New World 05:19	lyrics	buy track
On one side are the fearless On the other side are the fearful But we’re all in the same direction Not knowing what the destination is The plague lasted a long time The war got out of line We are breaking through the ruins trying to find the moon or the sun We thought it would be the end When we saw the slaughter of men But when everyone fell silent The rain fell, taking away the soot The moon announces in the sky While the stars sing a hymn Then the streets open for the coming of a new world (and better!) Time is not over Wake up! Get up! Move! The plague, famine and war give way to a new world! We are crawling abandoned, hungry Wanting to find the last keys The new world opens with a silver light And hope blows in us a strong breeze We are like newborns before the light There's nowhere to go back, there's nowhere to run The survivors of the plague era they Give birth to the new world, this is the child of chaos! Now I'm sure: It is time for Glory!
2.	Glory 02:54	lyrics	buy track
Glory, I need glory to survive in the night create a new story where courage never dies A dawn full of car lights And humans with bright eyes. Here we are happy But what about you? We have no home and no money But we have more. So my friends (oh my friends) Join us now It's a party for those who have nothing but soul So my friends (oh my friends) Join us now It's a party, you bring wishes and we bring songs. Kiss my mouth Take my hand Give me your heart And let's go away Where is your voice? Where is your courage? Where is your soul? My love, this is rock'n roll
3.	Wicked Spirit 03:44	lyrics	buy track
Crazy As a young demon Lost in Paradise Maybe He will run to hell or set fire on the skies Maybe he will join the good angels and show them what is sin Oh, wicked spirit that dances with luck I'm crazy like you Dancing among the saints The world has become a refuge for saints It is the reign of colorless life As a young demon I salute madness I'm proving that I'm alive Oh.. I was crying when I saw that life had no rules, so I ran Like a woman Awake and ready, I decided to have fun
4.	Roulettenbourg Roulette 04:13	lyrics	buy track
"I'm sorry to say, But Babushka is alive. Open the doors of Roulettenbourg; everything starts with ten rubles. " Oh, General, it is not today that luck is yours. Here comes the queen of hearts with her rubles in her pocket Roulette is for everyone, but you run away Bankers tell the rules tonight But you await a telegram from the sky I had bet on love and sent him away I fell in Rolettenbourg roulette and have in my hands the red card deck, and chips, and luck I have with me cigars, power and lights I give my destiny to the spinning of the roulette night But darling, I warn you: Not all of you are big leopards And not all lizards tend to evolve Roulettenbourg is the cradle of the subalterns And when Babushka leaves, she will take the neon with her Oh, general, let's go together to dissipate the loves I see the doom on the board exuding red steam Let us be pawns, not kings cornered I do not want the weight of existence on my back. And there I go, in roulette, with my ruble, the last But Babushka rushes on the train With one hundred rubles in her pocket She is the old queen at the top of the roulette In Roulettenbourg everything will change, dear ones I see the chips against the dog of destiny.
5.	Blind Snake 02:45	lyrics	buy track
Come, blind snake Raise the scales Weigh the gold and the innocence Weigh the morals and the truth Join the outrage It's time for condemnation Bring blind folds to the witnesses They won't see the perversion The lawyer doesn't trust His own power to defend the culprit Doesn't promise himself freedom In an unmerciful world And didn't promised (And didn't promised) To Wash His Hands Water wasn't lacking But complacency was The culprit cries (And how he cries!) The court floods Of weeping remorse There's no turning back The hammer strikes! The blind snake brings the guillotine Where all the heads are equal But the audience closes their eyes There is no guilt on what is not seen The culprit dies (Yes, he dies) And his blood is spilled On the hand of the blind Which are more and more crimson The culprit dies (Yes, he dies) But who was he? The time has ended, and the hammer has striked And it doesn’t matter if his innocent
6.	Ivory Towers 07:17	lyrics	buy track
As the troubled times knock on our doors, Armageddon blowing on war horns, Heralds bring alarming forecasts Claiming themselves holy prophets Temple merchants are wreaking woe Setting troops against imaginary foes Their herd battling windmills Acting according their masters’ wills Then inside the towers Resting in the darkest hours Feasting on their tomes Glazing the ivory domes At the feet of the tower, the crawling poor Struggling every day to live another more Won’t you sages descend from your chairs And help us win this cruel warfare? It’s so easy for them having dreams and hope Surrounded by books and telescopes A knowledge sold at high prices As the common majority demises Hiding from all this chaos Living their own fairytales Sat on adorned tables Still, their shine prevails Then, inside the towers Resting in the darkest hours Feasting on their tomes Glazing the ivory domes
7.	Prophecy in Ashes 04:13	lyrics	buy track
There's a gypsy dancing in town tonight Under the moon, under drunken eyes Nobody listens to her castanets Humming the danger in Morse code Her red skirt flies like streamers She tries to give some signal She shows the exit to the mountains But the city is on fire! Now men, instead of running away Accuse the gypsy of burning the city Those who slept woke up furious They want to burn the gypsy! She came as a prophet To rescue men from themselves But her red dance puts it in check Her origin and her truth Her red skirt flies like streamers She tries to give some signal She shows the exit to the mountains But the city is on fire! Now men, instead of running away Accuse the gypsy of burning the city Those who slept woke up furious They want to burn the gypsy! Now men, instead of running away Accuse the gypsy of burning the city Those who slept woke up furious They want to burn the gypsy! They didn't hear the castanets Humming the Morse code Instead of running away, They burned the gypsy And the fire spread out burning the city
8.	Chimera's Way 06:48	lyrics	buy track
Don't show me vain prophecies Fake gypsies, vain astrologies I’ve strayed from the tomb to a sanctuary Where there are only chimeras Satirizing the gods of men announcing a hybrid age Making barbarity sacred the impurity of...bastards reneging virtues Shaping Beliefs On Lands Of Quarrels On top of a mountain an obelisk rose alone I followed the Basilisk Towards his throne To search for Beatrice The cockatrice from her offender I danced over seas with serpent mothers So Beatrice Stole From My Mind...The lucidity that I had just seek like a worm she made me crawl At her mercy I walk Slowly to the heart Of the serpent of the Sepentary Between chimeric serpents Reigned the Basilisk He made the Obelisk His Reign of the Sun The Venuses of the Earth Have been kidnapped they became heartless chimeras Young Lovers Prepare Yourselves Before Dawn, bring from there your stolen lovers it opened... The door of the chimera's way And I will search For my Beatrice And the Skin of Cockatrice Will be abandoned the thunder falls on over the obelisk and in the dungeon, there'll be the basilisk burning for every broken heart
9.	Rainfall of Relief 04:37	lyrics	buy track
If it was raining If I was dreaming If you were crying Would we see the world through different eyes? After so much lying After so much hiding After so much running Believe in a false fate Just not to say goodbye We are afraid of emotions We are afraid of the rain We are afraid of tears We are afraid of dreams There is an open truth Behind a fragile glass door The past tear the soul With sharp blades The wounded body cries But the rain stops the blood The rain stops the pain There is nothing unchangeable There is nothing to lose The old scars give way To new beams of light It was just said goodbye
