Non metterò fiori alla finestra del carcere in cui m’hanno cresciuto Non pulirò le scale del patibolo e mi rivendico detenuto Ai ferri corti con i codardi che mal si nascondono e inciampano nei loro guinzagli Hai chiuso la porta non aprirai mai Ti riconosci schiavo? Hai chiuso la porta non aprirai mai La chiave d’uscita sei tu e non lo sai Sei il carceriere di un ego virtuale il surrogato di ogni tuo istinto, sei tu al tuo funerale Hai chiuso la porta non aprirai mai Ti riconosci schiavo? Hai chiuso la porta non aprirai mai La chiave d’uscita sei tu e non lo sai consapevole di essere il mio unico boia affilo la lama del mio futuro e aspetto, aspetto, aspetto Hai chiuso la porta non aprirai mai Ti riconosci schiavo? Hai chiuso la porta non aprirai mai La chiave d’uscita sei tu e non lo sai ------------------------------------------ "The flowers of the slaves" I won’t place any flowers at the window of the jail where they raised me Won’t clean up the stairs of the gallows, and I claim myself prisoner At each other’s throats with the cowards who badly hide themselves and stumble in their leads You shut the door, you’ll never open Do you recognize the slave? You shut the door, you’ll never open The key to get out is you and you don’t know You are the jailer of a virtual ego surrogate of every instinct, that’s you at your funeral You shut the door, you’ll never open Do you recognize the slave? You shut the door, you’ll never open the key to get out is you and you don’t know Aware of being my only hangman I sharpen the blade of my future and wait, wait, wait You shut the door, you’ll never open Do you recognize the slave? You shut the door, you’ll never open The key to get out is you and you don’t know

Resilience 03:15
A blank piece of paper rests on the table I think I’ve no words anymore I envy myself when I was snotty and rebel ‘cos all my persistence is gone I need a resolution, a better place to go where I have few books to read, my girl and my dogs resilience is heading, holding my will, I’m alive I was sick of seeking you I was sick of seeking you I felt forsaken and confused ‘cos I’ve got nothing, nothing to lose yet There’s rust on the frame but not on the picture I’m saving the best from that boy that felt like a loser but with something to prove with a gaze full of sorrow and joy He dreamt a revolution, a safer place to go just booze and punk rock, boycott and revolt resilience was heading, holding his will, he was alive He was sick of seeking you he was sick of seeking you He felt forsaken and confused ‘cos he’s got nothing, nothing to lose yet “Life’s too short to waste” is a cheap sentence a good eulogy for everyone but it’s easier to be said than done She was leaving an addiction, carving a new path through mountains of bad memories, making peace with past and resilience was heading, holding her will, she was alive She was sick of seeking you She was sick of seeking you She felt forsaken and confused ‘cos she’s got nothing, nothing to lose Somebody is sinking somebody has drowned I’m fighting and rising but I’m drenched to the bones

Ho gli occhi al cielo che piangono bombe un cuore crollato tra martiri e tombe Rojava insegna, Rojava insegna la dignità Rojava insegna, come a Kobane No Pasaran! Su terra antica che aiuta ad alzarmi nascono fiori accanto alle armi Rojava insegna, Rojava insegna la dignità Rojava insegna, come a Kobane No Pasaran! E quando intorno si alzano muri d’odio, troverò resistenza, solidarietà e una scritta trionferà: The only way to stop the hate is with love and YPG The only way to stop the hate is with love and YPJ Rojava insegna, Rojava insegna la libertà Rojava insegna, come a Kobane No Pasaran! ----------------------------------- "Like in Kobane" I have pointed on the sky my eyes crying bombs A collapsed heart among martyrs and tombs Rojava teaching, Rojava teaching dignity Rojava teaching, like in Kobane No Pasaran! On ancient ground helping me to stand up flowers are growing next to the weapons Rojava teaching, Rojava teaching dignity Rojava teaching, like in Kobane No Pasaran! And when around rise walls of hate, I’ll find resistance, solidarity, and a writing will prevail: The only way to stop the hate is with love and YPG The only way to stop the hate is with love and YPJ Rojava teaching, Rojava teaching dignity Rojava teaching, like in Kobane No Pasaran!

Everybody is talking ‘bout the weather in my block nobody is used to lies things are bad and won’t get any better the eldest say it just looking at the sky The things are bad, won’t get any better We run away from misery slaughtered by technology in our mind we know our enemy To avoid the pitfalls and the backhoes to not get sick because of pesticides we’ll chase that dry riverbed and arrange in a shelter far from what we leave behind The things are bad, won’t get any better We run away from misery slaughtered by technology in our mind we know our enemy We are savage, we are free we live in peace and equality but in our mind we know our enemies

Mentre impreco il cielo con fulmini e con rabbia il terreno sotto i piedi invecchia come le mie ossa che dolgono e che vogliono uscire dalla carne per poi tornare libere, per poi tornare cenere e vivere nell’aria, nel cielo e dentro il mare in tutte quelle onde che si vanno a frantumare Va bene e così sia, via nelle tenebre del caos nelle mille vie che la vita mi propone senza più paure, senza direzione E vivere nell’aria, nel cielo e dentro il mare in tutte quelle onde che si vanno a frantumare e a consumare il mondo che io odio, porcoddio onda dopo onda finché niente, niente più ci sia E nei vulcani, io brucerò nelle tempeste io ci sarò Di altre vite ma che ne sai io non ho dio né ora né mai E se non lascio segni e se non lascio tracce se non ho più sogni a nessuno gliene importa almeno c’ho provato ed è questo ciò che conta E vivrò nell’aria, nel cielo e dentro il mare in tutte quelle onde che si vanno a frantumare e a consumare il mondo che io amo, porcoddio onda dopo onda finché niente più ci sia E nei vulcani, io brucerò nelle tempeste io ci sarò Di altre vite ma che ne sai io non ho dio né ora né mai -------------------------------- "What counts" While I curse the sky with flashes and with rage the ground under my feet is aging like my bones that hurt and that want to get out of the flesh for then get back to freedom, for then get back to ashes and live in the air, in the sky and in the sea in all those waves going to crash on the beach All right, so shall it be away in the shadows of chaos among a thousand ways life is suggesting me without any more fear, with no more direction And living in the air, in the sky and in the sea in all those waves going to crash on the beach and to consume the world that I hate, porcoddio wave after wave until nothing, nothing will be there And in volcanoes I will burn In the storms, there I will be What do you know of other lives I have no god, not now and for life And if I don’t leave a sign And if I don’t leave a track If I have no more dreams, nobody will care At least I did a try and this is what counts And I’ll live in the air, in the sky and in the sea in all those waves going to crash on the beach and to consume the world that I love, porcoddio wave after wave until nothing, nothing will be there And in volcanoes I will burn In the storms, there I will be What do you know of other lives I have no god, not now and for life

Well I wanna freeze my feelings right tonight it’s not so fucking easy, you know, I’m pretty shy I feel deceived, I feel defeated, my heart has been broken I had hopes, I felt strong, in all this time I was not joking I believed in this feeling inside me the certainty we are right, they’re not We could make a great alternative to their fucking system but seasons are crawling beside me But I still thought the words have a germinal power louder then a bomb, songs that start the fire from the mind through the spine, rhymes that changed my life and I can’t describe the love and the rage I’ve got inside And I can’t say if I’m broken or damaged but I’m sure to feel the pain And I can’t say if I broken or damaged but I still feel the same old rage anyway and to see so many friends take it like a game acting like bored boys to the rebellion play It made me sick and desperate watch ’em come and go a flash goodby while I’ve never ever joked ‘cos I believe in this feeling inside me the certainty we are right, they’re not we can make a great alternative to their fucking system and system won’t defeat me So that’s the plan for tomorrow, a diy community that plant seeds of liberty, love, creativity to not be wrong, to not be lost, we should not ever leave it’s not about redemption, it’s the passion that we need And I can’t say if we’re broken or damaged but I’m sure we feel the pain And I can’t say if we’re broken or damaged but we wanna break the chains anyway

Sigarette e birra, polveri sottili. Faccio colazione col catarro e due frollini Mi sento una merda, vedo già il tramonto. La vita mi sta presentando il conto Ma non ho un soldo Son tutto rotto Ma non ho sonno  E scappo senza pagare!  Vizi capitali, ne conosco due: ira, gola, ira, gola, sbocco nelle vie Sto imbarcando acqua, lontano vedo il porto  ma la vita mi sta presentando il conto  Ma non ho un soldo Son tutto rotto Ma non ho sonno  E scappo senza pagare!  Arsura ignobile, indelebile, un suicidio lento ma bello da morire Vado a testa alta verso l'aldilà. Il sesso fatto male dentro al bagno di quel bar Come faceva mio nonno  vomito sul mondo che mi presenta il conto Ma non ho un soldo Son tutto rotto Ma non ho sonno  E scappo senza pagare!  ------------------------------ "Life is showing me the bill" Cigarettes and beer, particulate matter. My breakfast based on sputum and a couple of frollinis I already see the sunset, feeling like a shit Life is showing me the bill But I’ve no money I am all broken But I’m not tired And run off without paying Capital vices, I know two of them: wrath gluttony wrath gluttony I puke in the streets I’m taking on water, see the harbour in the distance but life is showing me the bill But I’ve no money I am all broken But I’m not tired And run off without paying Despicable, permanent thirst A slow suicide, beautiful as hell My head high, I walk towards the afterlife That bad sex had in that toilet of that bar Like my grandfather used to do I puke on the world that is showing me the bill But I’ve no money I am all broken But I’m not tired And run off without paying

In Via Togliatti In via Togliatti ci sono piante d’alloro, due osterie, una galera ma nessun manicomio M’hanno spedito lontano che se l’occhio non vede, il cuore non duole Mi avrebbero dato una mano ma solo per via del mio cognome Mi troverai a maledirvi mi troverai da solo col dolore ma fiero di non sentirmi figlio di un dio migliore In via Togliatti ci sono targhe al valore, case del popolo, chiese, ma nessun peccatore. Quando un vizio è privato non scelgono sempre il bene migliore Il male che ho dentro mi è innato e mal si addiceva al mio cognome Mi troverai a maledirvi mi troverai da solo col dolore ma fiero di non sentirmi figlio di un dio migliore Compagni dai campi e dalle officine guardate la fine che avete fatto io figlio malnato e rinnegato di una cultura cattocomunista guardo il vostro mondo e mi vergogno mi vergogno di voi, sicuri di voi dentro alle mura della democrazia non concedete niente perchè niente vi è concesso In via Togliatti ci sono aiuole curate mercati e bambini di giorno, di notte puttane A Villa Igea m’han lasciato tanto là fuori nessuno mi vuole, aspetto la morte sedato e maledico il mio cognome Mi troverai a maledirvi mi troverai da solo col dolore ma fiero di non sentirmi figlio di un dio migliore --------------------------------------- In via Togliatti In via Togliatti there are bay trees, two inns, a prison but no madhouse They shipped me far away ‘cause if it’s out of sight, then it’s out of mind They’d have given me a hand but just thanks to my family name You’ll find me cursing you you’ll find me alone with my pain but proud of not feeling like the son of a better god In via Togliatti there are plates of valor citizen’s centres, churches, but no sinners When a vice is private not always they opt for the best The evil I bare inside is innate and was badly matching my family name You’ll find me cursing you you’ll find me alone with my pain but proud of not feeling like the son of a better god Comrades from the fields and from the factories look what the hell happened to you Me, wretched and rejected son of a catholic-communist culture I look at your world and feel ashamed ashamed of you, so confident on yourselves inside the walls of democracy you’re not giving a thing ‘cause nothing is given to you In via Togliatti there are clean-cut flower beds daylight markets and kids, nightlife hookers They left me at Villa Igea out there nobody wants me Sedated I wait for my death and curse my family name You’ll find me cursing you you’ll find me alone with my pain but proud of not feeling like the son of a better god

The sin pyre 03:18
A homicide, another cry another dead child on the shoreline and false teardrops shine on the public eyes and I watch my family sink into a ocean of lies, lies… A genocide, a bloody line, another stupid border made by walls, blocks, cops, stops, I ended up on a Sin pyre. Identify me and crucify me Sin pyre. Blame me, fuck me and victimize me and set fire while my only guilt and sin is to be a refugee Dehumanize and terrorize Another bloody mass hysteria like in a witch hunt they set up pyres I watch my family’s heart drenched by hate, hate… A genocide, a bloody line, another stupid border made by walls, blocks, cops, stops, I ended up on a Sin pyre. Identify me and crucify me Sin pyre. Blame me, fuck me and victimize me and set fire Set fire and spit on me there’s barbed wire on my destiny Sin pyre. Identify me and crucify me Sin pyre. Blame me, fuck me and victimize me and set fire Set fire to your deeper shame Set fire to your fears and mistakes Set fire the blood on your hands The Sin Pyre is your consciousness While my only guilt and sin is to be a human being

Dritto avanti tutta che indietro non si torna a sbirri e serrature ho dichiarato guerra. Pirati in questo mare di squali ed avvoltoi la proprietà è un furto per quelli come noi Privilegi e autorità covano in seno alla tua invidia Privilegi e autorità nati dal veleno di chi teme la libertà Notte, compagna nostra, cela i nostri passi e portaci nel buio a sottrarre ogni ricchezza e a consegnare agli avidi che umiliano e che sfruttano un’alba di casseforti vuote che se la ridono Privilegi e autorità covano in seno alla tua invidia Privilegi e autorità nati dal veleno di chi teme la libertà Colpevole di aver rubato ai poveri di cuore Che il tutto sia di tutti e il niente non ci sia ---------------------------- "The workers of the night" Ahead, full steam ahead, for there is no way back I have declared war to cops and to locks Pirates in this sea of sharks and vultures Property is a theft for those like us Privileges, authorities hatch in the womb of your envy Privileges authorities born from the poison of those who fear liberty Night, our fellow night, please hide our steps and lead us to steal every treasure in the dark and deliver to the greed who humiliate and exploit a dawn of empty grinning vaults Privileges, authorities hatch in the womb of your envy Privileges authorities born from the poison of those who fear liberty Guilty to have stolen from the false-hearted May all be for all and may nothing not be at all

I need a reason to wake up ‘cos the world outside’s fucked up Oh, I need to leave behind my badlands full of lies where everybody’s hostile, isolation is the price I swallowed the rules, I fall down confused ‘cos I can’t find my peace of mind in any drugs or booze. Nothing new! I’m a lonely, lonely wolf, on a lonely dead-end road I threw my life away for something new, I’m a lonely, lonely wolf, on a lonely dead-end road I throw my mind, my mind away and it’s fine to not look back anyway I need a reason to give up I need a reason to cut the crap Usually I hate the people who commit suicide but the time has come, I’ve got enough, I wanna give a try yeah, death like an option, death like a reason to feel alive across my very intimate last second. I’m a lonely, lonely wolf, on a lonely dead-end road I threw my life away for something new, I’m a lonely, lonely wolf, on a lonely dead-end road I throw my mind, my mind away Maybe I go out for a walk Stop it, I don’t wanna talk Maybe I should call home and tell ’em I’m not alive anymore I’m a lonely, lonely wolf, on a lonely dead-end road I threw my life away for something new, I’m a lonely, lonely wolf, on a lonely dead-end road I throw my mind, my mind away

The clock strikes midnight and I’m waiting the shift change is here, I’m in time My apron is clean like my rubber boots but my soul is covered by grime The vision of blood is so draining but existence entails sacrifice As my forefather did, as my culture teaches to slaughter living things is not a crime I ain’t no tears to cry ‘cos killing for a living is my alibi I ain’t no tears to cry no compassion for animals and there’s no reason why Tonight the guilt is overwhelming the cries trouble my mind their sorrow is real, at the sight of the knife and their blood is red just as mine I ain’t no tears to cry ‘cos killing for a living is my alibi I ain’t no tears to cry no compassion for animals and there’s no reason why I read it in the bible, they teach it in the schools mankind’s the better race, the planet is just a tool but that’s the way things are and no, it’s not my blame ‘cos people authorize me inflict them this pain I ain’t no tears to cry ‘cos killing for a living is my alibi I ain’t no tears to cry no compassion for animals and there’s no reason why

Litanie di rassegnazione da fabbriche, chiese e caserme entrano cupe nelle persone come bufere d’inverno E come la pioggia corrode le infamie che uccidono la rabbia In lotta costante con il presente, il nemico lo cela la nebbia Requiem per il passato Requiem per ciò che hai lasciato Requiem per il presente che forse domani non avrai niente Preghiere pagane e lamenti, dannati che cercano salvezza lontano dai vostri valori e certezze, qualcuno ricerca vendetta Requiem per il passato Requiem per ciò che hai lasciato Requiem per il presente che forse domani non avrai niente Che le parole diventino vita e colpiscano senza paura che quello che loro chiamano il male per noi diventi la cura la volontà eluda l’istinto e diventi la madre dei folli e il sol dell’avvenire svegli gli schiavi e porti un mondo che crolli Il buio viene a schiarire le idee e distrugge certezze a voi che credete di avere risposte vi lascia solo amarezze Requiem per il passato Requiem per ciò che hai lasciato Requiem per il presente che forse domani non avrai niente ---------------------------------- "The tragedy of certainties" Resignation litanies from factories, churches and army bases darkly sneak into people like winter blizzards And like the rain corrodes villainies that are killing the rage Constantly struggling with the present, the enemy is hidden in the fog Requiem for the past Requiem for what you left Requiem for the present for maybe tomorrow you won’t have a thing Pagan prayers and complaints, the damned seeking salvation Away from your values and certainties somebody is seeking revenge Requiem for the past Requiem for what you left Requiem for the present for maybe tomorrow you won’t have a thing May words come to life and strike without fear May what they call evil become for us the cure May the will elude the instinct and become the fools’ mother May the sun of the future wake up slaves and bring a world falling apart Darkness comes to enlighten ideas and destroy certainties For you who believe to know the answers, it leaves you just with bitterness Requiem for the past Requiem for what you left Requiem for the present for maybe tomorrow you won’t have a thing
15.
I hate this crowded station on the fucking Christmas day the doors close and bring you away I give up my hopes on the track nr. 3 I hold back tears I got to let them free, yeah I told you many times I can’t write any love song because I was afraid to make it wrong this is not the way, yeah maybe it makes you blue but now I’d love to be right there with you It’s going to rain it’s going to rain, to rain It’s going to rain it’s going to rain, to rain I hope it washes our pain away, away waiting for another sunny day yeah, life has been so rude despite the things we do it fell apart, and we burned the fuse. This green bottle is my christmas tree tonight. Cheers my sweet, the storm is going to arrive
