[Rainy nights]

("No! this face is only a mask, a wicked ornament,
illuminated by an exquisite grimace,
Look and see, atrociously contorted,
The real head, and the sincere face
Turned back under the shadow of the face which lies" -
C. Baudelaire )

He is profanity in sanctity's guise
An alias assumed I do realize
In their eyes, his cause -
when enticing and cunning in impact
is still a criminal and evil act

So look for him vainly,
He, the incarnation of magickal nature
He turns unrecognizable even to the experienced eye

You obsessively pursue him
Failing to see, hat was why he came to be
one who annihilates with such impunity

He appears your friend, but
the Saint hides many Satans
He's contemptuous, you know
of your Godgiven stupidities
He calls you in question with
affected modesty and create
of you an object of derision

You think him to be pariah
whom company does exclude
But in the midst of all frenzy
He is - feasting in a transitory mood

Passion is a strict lord
He is also its humble slave
When bereft of common ways,
He strides before you on water
He makes clowns of kings,
charm the guests, rides the ball
Is the master of disguise

Prince of the thousandfold face
the charming jester's smile
which invites reason to demise
and imaginations rise
Inscrutable yes, venting his spleen
Somewhere night and day between
Is the master of disguise...

Danza Di Fuoco E Ghiaccio - (Rhapsody of Fire)

Four bravehearts, as thy were justly called, were summoned for this challenge. Iras will be the one to lead them trough the domain of the troll. They will go into the green valleys and follow the White River until the reached the magic woods of Aranen. Beyond them a real danger, but surely the immortal flame of the angels will live and breathe once again in the warriors legendary steel!

Nel cammino lento e grave
freddo e vento ruban già
Il profumo ed il calore
d'ormai pallide realtà
Tra le cime più lontane
Più velate identità
Melodiose dissonanze
Di occulta verità.

Gloria a te o Padre Sole,
il tuo fuoco domerò
Gloria a te o Madre Luna,
dal tuo pianto io berrò
Della notte senza stelle
il lupo or sarà
l'occhio vigile, il custode
di rispetto e di lealtà
Lealtà!
Fuoco e Ghiaccio ancor
danzano ebri nel mio cuor
Fuoco e Ghiaccio ancora
Danzano ebri nel mio amor
Per il padre che generò
E la cui forza mia farò
Per la madre che generò
Per la cui sorte lotterò
Danza, danza, danza di fuoco e ghiaccio!
Danza, danza, danza di fuoco e ghiaccio!

Nell'immenso di una rima
Il mio canto invocherà
Dei miei angeli la forza
Verso empie oscurità
Al creato senza tempo
Il mio io anelerà
Il suo demone riflesso
Nell'eterno fuggirà

Gloria a te o Padre Sole,
il tuo fuoco domerò
Gloria a te o Madre Luna,
dal tuo pianto io berrò
Della notte senza stelle
il lupo or sarà
l'occhio vigile, il custode
di rispetto e di lealtà
Lealtà!
Fuoco e Ghiaccio ancor
danzano ebri nel mio cuor
Fuoco e Ghiaccio ancora
Danzano ebri nel mio amor
Per il padre che generò
E la cui forza mia farò
Per la madre che generò
Per la cui sorte lotterò
Danza, danza, danza di fuoco e ghiaccio!
Danza, danza, danza di fuoco e ghiaccio!

Eternità!
Il mio fato in te vivrà.
Trascenderà
ciò che è stato e che sarà.
Eternità!
Il tuo tempo annienterà.
Dei demoni, l'abbagliante oscurità.
Eternità!
Il mio fato in te vivrà.
Trascenderà
ciò che è stato e che sarà.
Eternità!
Eternità!
Il tuo tempo annienterà.
Dei demoni, l'abbagliante oscurità.
Sacra eternità!

[Rainy nights]

I woke today
Inside the train of dreams
the rain poured down in
black and white
I stood and stared
the rest of what remains
My own world
crumbling around (a
wild world crumbling
around)

I held my tears
One day comes after another

the falling rain
caressed my skin again
just let it flow to wash away
the time gone by
feeling long denyed
my heart is no more
bounded in pain (in
pain)

and now its clear
one day leads on to another
I dried my tears
(cried my tears)
there's so much else to dicover
somewhere...

I hear the sound
Of thousand voices
I lost my innocence
I'm on my way
Across the desert
To rescue what I sent
Out of my heart and way

Now it's clear
One day leads on to another
To find our fears
Find the way back to each other

oh!

I hear the sound
Of thousand voices
I lost my innocence
I'm on my way
Across the desert
To rescue what I sent
Out of my heart...

I hear the sound
f thousand voices
I lost my innocence
and I'm on my way
across the desert
to rescue what i sent
out of my heart and way...

Gangstarr - Moment of truth
No matta wat we face
We mus face da moment of trut baybe

They say it's lonely at the top, in whatever you do
You always gotta watch mother fuckers around you
Nobody's invincible, no plan is foolproof
We all must meet our moment of truth

Verse one: guru

The same sheisty cats that you hang with, and do your thang with
Could set you up and wet you up, nigga peep the language
It's universal, you play with fire it may hurt you
Or burn you, lessons are blessings you should learn through
Let's face facts, although mc's lace tracks
It doesn't mean behind the scenes there ain't no dirt to trace back
That goes for all of us, there ain't nobody to trust
It's like sabotage, it's got me ready to bust
But I can't jeapordize, what I have done up to this point
So i'ma get more guys, to help me run the whole joint
Cultivate, multiply, motivate, or else we'll die
You know I be the master of the who what where and why
See when you're shinin, some chumps'll wanna dull ya
Always selfish jealous punks, will wanna pull ya
Down, just like some shellfish in a bucket
Cause they love it, to see your ass squirm like a worm
But just as you'll receive what is comin to you
Everybody else is gonna get theirs too
I ain't no saint, therefore I cannot dispute
That everyone must meet their moment of truth

Chorus: guru

Actions have reactions, don't be quick to judge
You may not know the harships people don't speak of
It's best to step back, and observe with couth
For we all must meet our moment of truth

Verse two: guru

Sometimes you gotta dig deep, when problems come near
Don't fear things get severe for everybody everywhere
Why do bad things happen, to good people?
Seems that life is just a constant war between good and evil
The situation that I'm facin, is mad amazin
To think such problems can arise from minor confrontations
Now I'm contemplatin in my bedroom pacin
Dark clouds over my head, my heart's racin
Suicide? nah, I'm not a foolish guy
Don't even feel like drinking, or even gettin high
Cause all that's gonna do really, is accelerate
The anxieties that I wish I could alleviate
But wait, I've been through a whole lot of other shit, before
So I oughta be able, to withstand some more
But I'm sweatin though, my eyes are turnin red and yo
I'm ready to lose my mind but instead I use my mind
I put down the knife, and take the bullets out my nine
My only crime, was that I'm too damn kind
And now some skanless mother fuckers wanna take what's mine
But they can't take the respect, that I've earned in my lifetime
And you know they'll never stop the furious force of my rhymes
So like they say, every dog has it's day
And like they say, God works in a mysterious way
So I pray, remembering the days of my youth
As I prepare to meet my moment of truth

"You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free!"

Verse three: guru

Yo I got one lyric pointed at your head for start
Another one, is pointed at your weak ass heart
Now if I pull the trigger, on these fully loaded lines
You're gonna wish I woulda pulled a black nine, I mack dimes
Crack the spines of the fake gangsters
Yeah the bitin triflin niggaz, and the studio pranksters
Yo lookin at the situation plainly: will you remain g?
Or will you be looked upon strangely?
I reign as the articulator, with the greater data
Revolvin on the tascam much doper than my last jam
While others struggle to juggle, tricky metaphors
I explore more, to expose the core
A lot of mc's, act stupid to me
And we have yet to see, if they can match our longevity
But anyway it's just another day
Another fake jack I slay with my spectac' rap display
Styles, smooth but rugged -- you can't push or shove it
You dig it and you dug it cause like money you love it
The king of monotone, with my own throne
Righteously violent prone my words bring winds like cyclones
Stormin your hideout, blockin out your sunlight
Your image and your business, were truly not done right
Throw up your he-allah-i now, divine saviors
You got no hand skills there's no security to save ya
No pager, no celly, no drop top benz-y
I came to bring your phone hip-hop, to an ending
My art of war will leave you sore from the abuse
Cause you must meet your moment of truth

They say it's lonely at the top in whatever you do
You always gotta watch mother fuckers around you
No one is untouchable, no man is bulletproof
We all must meet our moment of truth

Judas Priest --- The Ripper

--------

You're in for surprise
You're in for a shock---AAAAAAHHH!
In London town streets
When there's darkness and fog
When you least expect me
And you turn your back
I'll ATTACK!

I smile when I'm sneaking
Through shadows by the wall
I laugh when I'm creeping
But you won't hear me at all

All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper

You'll soon shake with fear
Never knowing if I'm near
I'm sly and I'm shameless
Nocturnal and nameless

Except for "The Ripper"
Or if you like
"Jack The Knife"

Any back alley street
Is where we'll probably meet
Underneath a gas lamp
Where the air's cold and damp
I'm a nasty surprise
I'm a devil in disguise
I'm a footstep at night
I'm a scream of the fright

All hear my warning
Never turn your back
On the ripper
The ripper
The ripper
Yeaaahhh!

[Ziosilvio]

Sun Kil Moon --- Glenn Tipton

----------------

Cassius Clay was hated more than Sonny Liston
Some like K.K. Downing more than Glenn Tipton
Some like Jim Nabors, some Bobby Vinton
I like 'em all

I put my feet up on the coffee table
I stay up late watching cable
I like old movies with Clarke Gable
Just like my dad does

Just like my dad did when he was home
Staying up late, staying up alone
Just like my dad did when he was thinking
Oh, how fast the years fly

I know an old woman ran a doughnut shop
She worked late serving cops
But then one morning, baby, her heart stopped
Place ain’t the same no more

Place ain’t the same no more
Not without my friend, Eleanor
Place ain’t the same no more
Man, how things change

I buried my first victim when I was nineteen
Went through her bedroom and the pockets of her jeans
And found her letters that said so many things
That really hurt me bad

I never breathed her name again
But I liked to dream about what could have been
I never heard her calls again
But I like to dream

Dream Theater - Beneath the Surface

Is there ever really a right time
You had led me to believe
Some day you would be there for me
When the stars above aline
When you weren’t so concerned
I kept looking for the clues
So I waited in the shadows of my heart
and the still the time was never right
Until one day I stopped caring
and began to forget why I long to be so close
and I disappear into the darkness
and the darkness turns to pain
Never went away
Until all that remained
Was buried
Deep beneath the surface
A shell of what things could have been
Tired bones beneath the vail
of guarded secret are too frail
Sad to think i ever knew
You were searching for the words
For the moment to emerge
Yet the moment never came
You couldn’t risk my fragile frame
Until one day,
You stopped caring
and began to forget why you tried to be so close
and you disappeared into the darkness
and the darkness turned to pain
and never went away
Until all that remained
Was buried
Deep beneath the surface
I would scream just to be heard
as if yelling at the stars
I was bleeding just to feel
You would never say a word
Kept me reaching in the dark
Always something to conceal
Until one day i stopped caring
and began to forget why i longed to be so close
and i disappear into the darkness
and the darkness turned to pain
and never went away
Until all that remained was buried
Deep beneath the surface
…Beneath the surface…
