1. DESERT NIGHT
DESERT NIGHT
Lyrics: Zanvettor
Music: Stramonio
Time: 5:51
The dunes stretched out towards the horizon,
that thin line invisibly separating the sky and the sand.
The Sun descended among the waves of heat
of heat which lifted up from the shining sand
on the other side
the stars had already began to light the night sky.
Nomads off in the distance can see desert night
the only green and thriving splash of their life
Nomads off in the distance can see desert night
which the darkness had taken away the light.
Water and rest now dominated
among the shadows of the nightfall
there among the lights of the roof
of the world and sand still
warm from the toils of the day now over.
Water still returns to flow along that dry bed
left arid for so long
waiting for another desert night to come.
2. APPOINTMENT WITH LIFE
APPOINTMENT WITH LIFE
Lyrics: Zanvettor
Music: Stramonio
Time: 5:03
Millions of particles dispersed
in the sideral darkness of space
meander chaotically apparently
with no clear objective.
Fine cosmic dust
invisible and impalpable matter.
But here where chaos reigns,
an unexplainable event
is about to take place
Attracted by an energy
everything with in a range
of thousands of miles
will to come together as if summoned
to an appointement with life!
A blinding light
lacerates the darkness of the space.
where once was just emptiness,
ice and darkness,
now there is warmth an light…
3. SNOW CRYSTAL
SNOW CRYSTAL
Lyrics: Zanvettor / De Vescovi
Music: Stramonio
Time: 6:48
When snow falls
everything seems to take
on a cleaner and a pure aspect.
Soft crystals,
fragile and inconsistent
when it has been set alone,
but which once grouped together
are able to cover any shape or building
with a soft velvety blanket.
When the snow falls on the ground,
all sounds and vibrations drop down.
When the snow falls on the ground,
all sounds and vibrations become subdued
the horizon has no limits!
the horizon has no limits!
We gaze in rapture at the sight
of these docile flakes coming to rest gently,
slowly, politely,
as if afraid of hurting anyone.
The snow is fondamentally
a kind of gentle creature,
with no enemies,
apart from the Sun which,
bearing down upon its coat,
transforms the soft mantle back
to its original watery state
where it will remain
until next winter, snow crystal
until next winter, snow crystal…
4. IN MY EYES
IN MY EYES
Lyrics: Zanvettor
Music: Stramonio
Time: 7:52
Within that restless dream
every movement was
rolled by darkness
I unconsciously perceived every thing around me
I heard her breath and smeiled
her sweet perfume oh
the dream drifted away
into the very limits of sleep.
Erase any memory
of the final moments
like waves that was away
footprints in the sand…
But my eyelids started twitching quickly
without opening
grasping at the single straw
of imagination that was slipping away
inside my mind
Erase any memory
of the final moment
like waves that was away
footprints in the sand…oh oh!
The dream transformed those familiar features,
those curves
which I had stroked my hand
over each morning
each night her eyes had a silklike softness as she
settled the long hair she lays
gently across her breast…
5. LOOSE FROM A DAM
LOOSE FROM A DAM
Lyrics: Zanvettor / De Vescovi
Music: Stramonio
Time: 6:16
The storm of the events
dominating our lives
continues to formulate
dark clouds charged with haste
obbligations and time
flowing by all to quickly.
A few notes,
a few rapid intense events
and everything comes to an end.
We stop to listen to a deaf and far off sound,
to fill the image of an invisible
vibration that seems to be arrived with a force like
water let loose from a dam
water let loose from a dam.
The clouds begin to quiver and shake
time slow down,
it seems obbligations no longer belong
to our dimension
haste rushes right through us without
stealing any moments
of our time anymore
the music moves onwards!
6. ANTARCTIC OASIS
ANTARCTIC OASIS
Lyrics: Zanvettor
Music: Stramonio
Time: 7:41
The light pressed against the solid form of clear ice
covering the only large lost valley I had liked
since my early infancy, since my early infancy.
A barren, white valley cold and as hard as a rock
Nature’s silence and magic enhanced sensations
and emotions I had come to know through the time.
The wind blew like music to my ears
cutting into my face with sharp icy blasts...
This is all, this is all, this, this is all I have
A life in antarctic, in antarctic oasis,
in a world which I have come to adore.
That’s my life in antarctic oasis,
in a world which I have come to adore.
A world which has become part of my very soul
and which will never betray me
the emptyness around me
is my only dimension...
A life in antarctic, in antarctic oasis,
in a world which I have come to adore.
That’s my life in antarctic oasis,
in a world which I have come to adore!
7. HERE I AM
HERE I AM
Lyrics: Balliana / De Vescovi
Music: Balliana
Time: 4:01
Fire, earth, water, wind and sand on sand
thousands steps here I am.
Black dot moves on the white page of new land
thousands miles here I am.
Footprints calling steps
flowers look for scents far from end
here I am.
The sound of standing and silence of moving
words and looks here I am.
No one way as way
No more space for shame
here I am.
8. TIME
TIME
Lyrics: Balliana
Music: Stramonio
Time: 5:34
Everyone is bearer of an unicity
which domands to be lived
and which is already present before
being able to be lived.
Paradigm of time:
time which measures everything must have an end.
Set time aside, go out of time’s theory otherwise
the before always define the after
and you’ll be chained to remote causes
which you can’t intervene on, life you have
is your choice but you don’t remember
no social accident no uncounscious behaviour
no traumatic happening has written the acting of your story
which you can’t intervene on
you’re not a victim time presence of today,
yesterday and tomorrow a single vocation
Time presence of yesterday, today
and tomorrow, a single vocation.
Time presence of yesterday, today and tomorrow!
Time presence of yesterday, today and tomorrow!
9. SOMEONE LIKE ME
SOMEONE LIKE ME
Lyrics: Balliana / De Vescovi
Music: Stramonio
Time: 7:04
Winter goes towards
the summer running away
Wind must take the force
to chase off the clouds today
I want to dance in the rain
not wondering where’s my faith
And the sun will dry my skin
before the moon starts to be.
Someone’s searching for, someone’s loving
Walking through the edge of soul
Desert road never found Oh
Someone’s finding out, someone’s hating
Running on the razor’s blade
Crowdy road always been the same!
The forest cold still withstand
I will wait the spring of my land
And waters of icy lake
to reflect my image again
I want to dance in the rain
not wondering where’s my faith
And the sun will dry my skin
before the moon starts to be.
Someone’s searching for, someone’s loving
Walking through the edge of soul
Desert road never found Oh
Someone’s finding out, someone’s hating
Running on the razor’s blade
Crowdy road always been the same!
Someone like me thought to be free
Someone like me still thinks to be free
Someone like me lived with sense of guilt
Someone like me lives without sin.
