Testi - DICHOTOMY (2016)

RESCUE ME

 

I'm still right here

After all these years

But now i need, rescue me

 

I live with high hopes

But it's long gone

And now i need, rescue me

 

For what i've done (what i've done)

For better or worse (better or worse)

Everything here is gone

But now, the harvest will come

 

I'd like to go

Into a new world

It's hard, i know, rescue me

 

I want a new home

A new smile, a new job

The warmth, the sea, please rescue me

 

For what i've done (what i've done)

For better or worse (better or worse)

Everything here is gone

But now, the harvest will come

 

RAINBOW

 

Looking at this photograph of the past

We were happy in black and white

Our life has become a shade of gray

Without pain, but no smiles

 

Colorize the sky

I paint, but i am blind

 

Comes the rainbow in your eyes

Comes the rainbow in your eyes

In my eyes..

 

I take a look outside, a shooting star

It's so mighty and so bright

Through my window i look so high, very far

A white flash of daylight

 

Colorize the sky

I paint, but i am blind

 

Comes the rainbow in your eyes

Comes the rainbow in your eyes

In my eyes..

 

GET UP FROM YOUR GRAVE

 

There was a time

When the spell could breathe in the air.

Out in the dark, the wind caresses your hair

There's no reason why

The guilt has been there in your heart

Night and the lights,

Your heart is struggling in this pool of blood

 

Open your eyes and get up from your grave

Open your eyes and get up from your grave

 

You have a son

Who needs a lesson of life

You’ve got a wife who needs to watch her beloved

Lost memories of this life that you left behind

Since you ran away

You stopped to cry and you've swallowed the pain

 

Open your eyes and get up from your grave

Open your eyes and get up from your grave

 

Walking inside of a dream

Where love is highly esteemed

Taking a chance with your soul and a new life

Will be born

 

Open your eyes and get up from your grave

Open your eyes and get up from your grave

 

TIME TO GO

 

How many words we didn't say

Nothing can change 'cause it's too late

The road is almost in the end

Time is something we don't have

 

Ain't got no words

It's just a feeling

I know the time has gone

I'll light a fire, i'll stay with you

Until the morning comes

 

The wind is blowing from the past

Memories are flying so fast

I see you walking on the bridge

All alone in the golden breeze

 

It's time to go

I know you know

But you can stay if you want

I'll light a fire, i'll stay with you

Until the time has gone

 

It's time to go

I know you know

But you can stay if you want

I'll light a fire, i'll stay with you

Until the time has gone

 

 

EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD

 

Snow in the morning

The colour of the skin is the same for us

The flames are still burning

I hope that my dreams will not fade away

 

Everywhere you go

Everywhere in the world

Everywhere you go

 

Freedom is coming

The last prejudices were washed today

Singing a gospel

Embrace this new dream for another chance

 

Everywhere you go

Everywhere in the world

Everywhere you go

DANGEROUS ROAD

 

Once upon a time on a foggy autumn day.

A man filled with shadows and his eyes filled with pain.

Born in a land where they don't care about the respect.

Two directions you can choose,

But only one if you don't wanna loose.

 

Where you run is where you hide,

Where justice doesn’t prevail.

When the devil calls you,

You know you're damned to hell.

How many times have you asked yourself if it was right ?

You can't live your life in lies

But you've got coins on your eyes.

 

Dangerous road

Without directions.

You're in jail, it's the law

And you can't be free no more.

Lonesome train,

On the railroad tracks,

With great big heavy wheels

That are crushing all of your dreams.

In a dangerous road

 

There's a rumble in your cell and it's time to escape.

Now you're trying to change yourself

Without hurting anyone else.

The blood in your veins will never forget who you are

You're a pirate in this life and you can't stay on the other side.

Dangerous road

Without directions.

You're in jail, it's the law

And you can't be free no more.

Lonesome train,

On the railroad tracks,

With great big heavy wheels

That are crushing all of your dreams.

In a dangerous road

 

HATE & LOVE

 

Take a look into my eyes

Will be amazed what you'll find

There's so much to understand

Dig a hole in my head

Come on, babe, no mistakes

Dig a hole in my head

 

Walking for a long long time

Lost in a wicked bind

There's so much to understand

Dig a hole in my head

Come on, babe, no mistakes

Dig a hole in my head

 

Hate, Love and Hate,

Kill and Pray, i'm afraid of myself

 

Why don't you come into my life?

I'm going crazy, i'm tired

There's so much to understand

Dig a hole in my head

Come on, babe, no mistakes

Dig a hole in my head

 

Hate, Love and Hate,

Kill and Pray, i'm afraid of myself

 

 

RISE UP

 

We were living a modest life made of dreams, sea, sun and sky

But this was worth more than gold

Our civilization has taught to the world how to live, how to read and write

Now we are slaves of these laws

This is a fake democracy

Pull out your dignity

 

Rise up! wave your flags!

Rise up! destroy these banks!

Rise up! dreams are coming true

 

Day by day, time runs out and the situation gets worse and worse

Poverty is killing your exhausted pride

When all our dreams become illusions it's time to begin a revolution

Here comes a man who brought the ideals

This is a fake democracy

Pull out your dignity

 

Rise up! wave your flags!

Rise up! destroy these banks!

Rise up! dreams are coming true

 

Freedom, stand up for freedom

Believe in freedom, lift up your heads

Come on, fighting for freedom

This war ain’t over, straight from your heart

This is a fake democracy

Pull out your dignity

Change this sick society

 

Rise up! wave your flags!

Rise up! destroy these banks!

Rise up! dreams are coming true

 

ON THE VERGE OF INSANITY

 

I felt so alone, so insecure

My evil ways became so cruel

Somebody help me get out from this state of mind

I blame you, i make you hurt

It’s just me against my world

I can't go on, will never be the same

 

It's hard to know where to begin

Can i drown in this mess?

 

I can't breathe your air, I can't breathe your air

I've been standing on the verge of insanity

 

I’m still right here with bad ideas

All of my dreams are gone with the wind

This is the real beginning of the end

I’ll be myself, find a way

If i could start again a thousand miles away

But now i know this is what i want

 

No more tears, no more mistakes

A new life begins from here

 

I can't breathe your air, I can't breathe your air

I've been standing on the verge of insanity

 

I hurt myself today , I would find a way

I hurt myself today , What have i become

 

I can't breathe your air, I can't breathe your air

I've been standing on the verge of insanity

A BIG RED SUN IS GOIN’ DOWN

THE SAND IS GETTING COLD

THERE IS TIME FOR SOME WAVES

THE BETTER MOMENT OF THE DAY

 

NOW THE WATER SEEMS SO WARM

IT’S GOOD TO BE HERE ALONE

BELIEVE ME THAT I FEEL SO FREE

THE SKY, THE WATER AND ME

 

WELL I LOVE THIS TOO MUCH

TO THINK THAT ONE DAY I WILL STOP

AND I’LL TAKE CARE OF MY DREAMS

‘COUSE THEY ARE THE LIMPH OF MY LIFE

AND THAT’S ALLRIGHT

 

I DON’T NEED USELESS THINGS

THAT MAKE ME FORGET WHO I AM

‘COUSE THEY ARE THE LIMPH OF MY LIFE

AND THAT’S ALLRIGHT

WITHOUT HOMETOWN

YOU'RE SITTING ON THE GROUND WITH YOUR DESIRE

YOUR AWESOME LAND  IS CLOUDED BY THE FIRE

YOU WANNA RUN AWAY FROM A PLACE BEYOND THE SUN

AND THE TEARDROPS FALLING ALL AROUND

THERE'S A RAINBOW HIGHWAY TO BE FOUND

BUT NOW IT'S NOT SO EASY, LOVE WILL FIND A WAY

BEFORE THE DAWN  THERE'S A RAY OF LIGHT        

BY YOUR SIDE

ACROSS THE FIELDS

THROUGH THE PASSING CLOUDS OR THROUGH THE TREES

WHEN YOU LEFT INTO THE POURING RAIN

YOU KNOW I WOULD'VE DONE IT  LIKE I DID BEFORE

 

SHINING THROUGH A RAY OF LIGHT

WAITING FOR THE TIME WHEN LOVE IS BRIGHT

BEFORE THE DAWN  THERE'S A RAY OF LIGHT        

BY YOUR SIDE
