setlist…


Under the same old sun
All alone yet somehow bound and unified
Dust to dust ..
Ashes to ashes won’t take long
We search for a harbor
Somewhere to belong
They say that faith is all you need
To stay forever young
What you’ve sown is what you reap
Our sins can’t be undone
There is a God in each society
So right is wrong where wrong is right
No one could be sure
Still we are certain
That we know is truth
The only truth
We’re building our temples taller
They say that faith is all you need
To stay forever young
What you’ve sown is what you reap
Our sins can’t be undone
How can we trust them once again?
They use to tell us lies
And their voices will sustain
‘Cuz Nothing Ever Dies
Love…love is the only truth
Pure as the well of youth
Until it breaks your heart!
You took me higher
Than the mountains I have climbed
You…you waited all your life for me
You left me all alone behind
But we’ll meet again
We will meet again
They say that faith is all you need
To stay forever young
What you’ve sown is what you reap
Our sins can’t be undone
How can we trust them once again?
They use to tell us lies
And their voices will sustain
‘Cuz Nothing Ever Dies

(back to the good music!!!)


Days are long and nights are cold, the rivers run
I’m swept away down distant paths, the road goes on
From the halls of the free to the tower of torment
Where treasures lie in mountains high
The silent fields of stars so far and wide
The oceans of infinity, the great divide
In the heavens on high is a light so lonely
The Evening Star that shines so far
When home is far behind and ever the long roads wind
I keep your memory in my mind, one day I’ll repay in kind
For so long as I’ve gone and so far I’ve wandered
The Evening Star has shone thus far
River rushing, waters wide, just north of there
Oh would that I was home again and home was here
And the fire was warm and the wind would whisper
You’re home again, on roofs the rain
When home is far behind and ever the long roads wind
I keep your memory in my mind, one day I’ll repay in kind
For so long as I’ve gone and so far I’ve wandered
The Evening Star has shone thus far
When home is far behind and ever the long roads wind
I keep your memory in my mind, one day I’ll repay in kind
For so long as I’ve gone and so far I’ve wandered
The Evening Star to me you are


C’era una volta un uomo
Con gli occhi verso la luna
E si chiedeva
“Verra presto l’amore?”
E che altro esiste
In un cuore gelato?
Tranne il pensiero
Di Un Assassinio…
Molto…
Silenzioso…
Come wind, come snow, come winterland
I have resigned myself to death
Come will, to show the hidden hand
So I can draw my final breath
You could take me higher
So you said, I trusted you
I may be a liar
But betrayal lies on you!
I can feel where the journey ends
The final call for the last defense
Darkness comes tonight
I have no fear of what you hold
Darkness comes alive
You are the stories I’ve been told
I possess a power
Of survival in the cold
Life is like a flower
And it stumbles out of fall!
We all know when our time has come
This is where I’ll linger on
Darkness comes tonight
I have no fear of what you hold
Darkness comes alive
You are the stories I’ve told
Darkness comes tonight
Nothing can take my faith away
Darkness comes alive
Life fades to black from silver grey
Darkness comes tonight
I have no fear of what you hold
Darkness comes alive
You are the stories I’ve told
Darkness comes tonight
Nothing can take my faith away
Darkness comes alive
Life fades to black from silver grey

tuned to D standard

I have never craved the system’s sympathy
I get restless over pity smiles
Some precaution wouldn’t harm my history
If I had the will to wait a little while
You cut the silence like a knife!
You know I can’t repent for all
Moonlight falling over me
Sail on where the shadows hide
Moonlight crawling down on me
Just like you could not compete with my pride
Compensation for a misconducted life
Is it way to much to ask?
Hard to wake up with your heart and soul deprived
When the morning comes, the second to your last!
You cut the silence like a knife!
Like the edge of my last defense
You cut the silence like a knife!
You know I won’t repent for all
Moonlight falling over me
Sail on where the shadows hide
Moonlight crawling down on me
Just like you could not compete with my pride
Shine on silver
From the sky into the night
Gaia shivers
And I need your leading light
Moonlight falling over me
Sail on where the shadows hide
Moonlight crawling down on me
Just like you could not compete with my pride
Moonlight falling over me
Sail on where the shadows hide
Moonlight crawling down on me
Just like you could not compete with my pride

(am i the only one who heard “Resist sunlight?”)

Pushing for the limit of sanity
Pushing for the surface, so I can breathe
Dark is the night for us all, but some days
I feel the light crawling down from these jagged walls
Blessed sunlight
Some of This Pain is sole subjected
But what was I to do?
Some of This Pain will always stay
Deep and true
I left her with a warning… without protection
‘Cuz the human nature has its ways with lust
With her back against the wall, she crumbled
Just a minute more would have saved her life
And even so… part of me
Blessed sunlight
Some of This Pain is sole subjected
But what was I to do
Some of This Pain will always stay
Deep and true…deep and true!
I see her shame in my desire
It all took place too soon
Some of these wounds will always bleed
Over you…over you
