Chestnut Road II

Trial 03:17
All through the corridor There’s a scream, I don’t know where it’s from Reverberating on the windows Below a dark crowd grows They’re waiting, the absolution never comes They’re begging the judge to be the first to fall Surrounded and acclaimed Lost in their fantasy of order Now the trial has begun The door’s closed and the guard is gone I‘m waiting, the absolution never comes I’m begging the judge to be the first to fall It’s often safer to be in chains than to be free

Shout 03:13
New Year’s Eve Everyone showed up The boys are starting to play Songs I used to listen to a thousand times And I remember How much it makes sense to me My brother calls my name and drags me on stage At the time I never thought They would change my whole life Like the Isleys, we’re brothers now Every dog ha his day My whole world ended The moment you let me down I tried to make it up to you But I failed.

Handshake 02:32
Am I awake Or am I still dreaming? How can you call that reality? Nothing seems to make sense It doesn’t make sense in any way Is someone whispering something in my head? I feel your hand You breathe on my neck You got me with a simple handshake Do not pretend That the deal was fair You got me with a simple handshake Stop whispering things in my head I keep dancing Because you’re holding the strings I wish we never met And never was your puppet Stuck behind those black hills Where night and day look like twins

Safety 02:39
The last day of our house Started on the roof where we used to watch the stars A paradise beneath an ocean Where oppression never surrender, we gotta fight. The world will be ours for a few hours Until our heads get smashed on the ground The world will be ours and we don’t want more The last day of our house Ended in the morning and our smiles didn’t last Screams and anger for only weapons Against flashballs and death Blue lights of despair, fear waiting behind bars Try to control us, someday your world will burn And it will be ours for a few hours Unless the violence is in the hand of the state It will be ours and we don’t want your safety

Bittersweet 03:18
You say yes Then you smile at me. Sure everything is gonna be alright, But it won’t work out the way you expect. And I wondered why You don’t take it for what it’s like. So don’t be shy Even if it seems you don’t mind. You feed your bitterness I’m tired of trying, Reading between the lines.

Bridge 02:39
I wish you the best. That’s what you said The last time we met. I was thinking of you the other day. It’s been a while now. Can’t remember well If we were that close anyway. And I always wondered You’ll stay by my side Rather than back of my mind. Do you remember All the time we had? Dreaming as life passes us by. I do think we had The time of our life then. I feel like having a billion stories to tell. It’s been a while isn’t it? Are we still the same? A lot of water has passed under the bridge. Seems to take us away from each other.

Ritual 02:28
I once want to be a swan Shine and dance all the time. Not my destiny, they say My murder has been such a crime. Death on the sidewalk, abject in your eyes. How do you value the suffering of the living ones? I found myself being a ghost, Phantomatic and lost forever. Everyone fuss, that’s ok. It’s a simple game, I would have prefer. Yet another ritual.
8.
Looking for the horizon, I pray to get through this situation. Hoping the best for tomorrow. I get a grip and make sure not to let it go. I’m lost in the snow. Walking for a while now, Am I going to die alone? Feeling far away from home Feeling the cold and he’s about to reach my house I’m going to die, buried by the snow, I’m off where all mortal dreams must go...
9.
Amused 03:33
Having a hard time to get you out of my mind. Non-stop thinking about my imaginary life. In this place that I can’t reach with its harbour and its bridge We sail to cast the anchor of friendship and never lose ourselves. Underneath the city there’s a sound. It’s the voice o our generation, hear it loud. You’ve got a hundred paths, do you know which one to choose? No I just started playing the game and getting amused. Among the ashes of my lies and frustrations Crawling chaos is growing to drag me away from here. In the sorcery of life, he’s the unbreakable rules Behind the tombstone of his judgement it feels so so cold.
