BLACK ROSE

Schermata 2021-04-08 alle 15.18.03.png

1 - BLACK ROSE

​

Close my eyes

Tie my hands tightly to my back

Then come closer and get away again

You have never really been here

'Cos you left no tracks


You know no mercy

They say that you have lost your mind,

Oh my

Where are you now?

This spirit is leaving my body again tonight


And everywhere and every time

I will take you with me, my black rose

Forever in these crying eyes

Your bleak heart, my black rose


Beautiful and strong

Deep inside


Hide well somewhere

Where nobody can’t find you at all

You feel so lost

The cuts are deep

In a thin skin easy to injure

Now I’m begging you


Please, have mercy

‘Cos your words have never lost a while to kill

Bloom of madness

Growing up in the gardens of hell


And everywhere and every time

I will take you with me, my black rose

Forever ‘til the end of times

Your bleak heart, my black rose


Beautiful and strong

Like a cancer grows

Deep inside


When the nights become so cold

When the sorrows they seem gone


And everywhere and every when

I will take you with me, my black rose

Forever in these crying eyes

Your bleak heart is my black rose


Beautiful and strong

Deep inside

​

2 - CHOCOLATE

​

When the day is over

You come to fill this emptiness

When everything is not enough

I still need something more


So I hurt you

The more I try to save myself

And you hurt me

The more you try to stop these hands


And every single moment

It’s like if I’m touching God

It’s wine and then smoke

Beneath the skin sugar and blood


So I hurt you

The more I try to save myself

And you hurt me

The more you try to stop these hands


And it’s chocolate through my fingers

A dangerous game tonight

Just like chocolate

You melt on me

You’re covering my skin


A lullaby when the worlds it still sleeps


And it’s chocolate through my fingers

A dangerous game tonight

Just like chocolate

You melt on me

You’re covering my skin


Yes, you are chocolate

Through my fingers

A dangerous taste tonight

Just like chocolate

You melt on me

You’re covering my skin

3 - 1983

​

1983

On a sunny day

On a different day

Here’s the world

It’s not a dream

The dreams begin right here


It would take too much time

To tell you this story

It would take too much voice

That I can’t...

Walking through all those streets down there

It’s hard to live as a righteous man

It would take too much time

To tell you this story


Born in an old

Seaside town

You went away

But now you’re here again

Keeping your eyes

On the stars

Telescopes

And flashes in the sky


It would take too much time

To tell you this story

It would take too much voice

That I can’t...

And every time I broke your heart, child

I felt the blame of being made this way

It would take too much time

To help you understand why


Jumping higher than ever and

Beating down on the ground

Kissing your lips

Stealing your heart


It would take too much time

To tell you this story

It would take too much voice

But I will try, I will try

Walking through all those streets down there

It’s hard to live as a righteous man

It would take too much time

To tell you my story


It will take a long time for these wounds to heal

It will take a lot of rain to quench my thirst And every time I broke your heart, child

I felt the blame of being made this way

It will take a long time

To understand why

4 - DON'T YOU LET THE SUN KILL THE NIGHT

​

Don’t you let the sun kill the night

Do what you need to do

But do it before daylight

So trip through this dark

And let go your heart

But don’t you let the sun kill the night


While the violins were playing

We were laying down in our nest

And I still recall what you said to me

I love the scent of your skin

And I still can see the smile on your face Tonight you belong to me

But slowly a pain

Grows from the deep

Blinding me coz

​

She’s gone away, she’s gone away

Away with the night

She’s gone away, she’s gone away

Away with the night


Don’t you let the sun kill the night

Do what you need to do but do it before daylight

So trip through this dark and let go your heart

But don’t you let the sun kill the night

​

Don’t you let the sun kill the night

Don’t you let the sun kill the night

Don’t you let the sun kill the night

​

​

5 - ASH

​

Arrived in the wrong time

You want to save the right man

Sweep away the ash

You came across the humid street

Your diamond eyes looking at me

Sweep away the dead leaves

You're getting closer

Don’t know if my eyes are closed

For love or fear or something else

You have to make a clean sweep

In everything


Oh my love If only you

Could erase my past

Oh my love

Let me fall into your sweet arms


The night you came in my life I had just lost my bearing

Stop the falling ash

Arrived in the wrong time

Now you’ve got my life

So keep it tight

I will be there when you come

When you comes like the sun

Like the sun


Oh my love If only you

Could erase my past

Oh my love

Let me fall into your sweet arms

Oh my love

If only you could erase my past

Oh my love

Let me fall into your sweet arms

​


6 - EXIST

​

I recognize

Your screams at me on the phone

And I know exactly what it is

It’s just the same old theme


I feel like I want to leave this world tonight There is no more reason for me to exist

I made you suffer more than you could stand

You are not the first one that told me to lose myself


It’s true I’m what I’m

A sucker of souls to fill my cosmic emptiness

I need attentions on me

I expect love and I give back pain


I feel like I want to leave this world tonight There is no more reason for me to exist

I made you suffer more than you could stand

You are not the first one that told me to lose myself


I feel like I want to leave

This world behind

There is no more reason for it to exist

I made you suffer more than you could stand

You are not the first one that told me to hang myself

I made you suffer more than you could stand

You are the first one that told me go lose yourself

7 - GRANADA 

​

Este frio viento contra mi cara

Este frio viento de madrugada

Que he echo? Que soy yo?


Este frio viento contra mi cara

Esta fria calle a donde me lleva

Que he echo? Que soy yo?


Yo si, no soy lo que tu piensas

Que yo soy oh si oh si,

Como un ciego en Granada

Esta noche, aqui

Donde todavía siento que

Tu estás cerca de mí

​

Yo si, no soy lo que tu piensas

Que yo soy oh si oh si,

Como un ciego en Granada

Esta noche, aqui

Donde todavía siento que

Tu estás cerca de mí

8 - WHEN THE PLANES LEAVE THE GROUND 

​

Look at all these planes 

They leave and they land 

And a man is waiting 

He keeps his love inside 

An heart shaped bag 

Am I still going anywhere else 


She is on my mind 

She is on my mind 

Tears they keep on falling down 

When the planes leave the ground 


The news on the screen 

Some coffee and some milk 

And a man is about to leave 

He would like to touch her hand

To help her understand 

Everything is alright


She is on my mind 

She is on my mind 

Tears they keep on falling down 

When the planes leave the ground 


Look at all these planes 

They leave and they land 

And a man is saying goodbye 

And all his mistakes

And broken promises 

I’m just going somewhere else 


She is on my mind 

She is on my mind 

Tears they keep on falling down 

When the planes leave the ground
