THE FOUR WITCHES
(Ricci C., Bovoli, Marangoni)

The first, from the North, It’s our Mother Earth.
And can give us love, or hate, for us all.
The second, from the East, It's the spreader air
and can lend us serenity, or terror for everyone!

RIT So call! Call the four witches
Ask them what you want
But be careful…
Becaause....... - What you obtain
Isn't free - will return to you
You will pay! - For it, four times
Of what you have - Asked for!

And then comes, from the south
The big liar, flaming fire
That can give you passion,
or just obsession and possession!

The last, from the west,
The majestic water
She can give you beauty,
or ugliness, for everyone!

RIT So call, ....

RIT So call,...

(The fantastic tale of the 4 witches of revenge, they can satisfy your revenge needs.. if you can pay the price!)

LOST CHANCE SONG
(Bovoli, Ricci C.)

This song's for a man
That have just lost his chance
And alone he stands
Just listening his senses

Thinking at how he could have done it right
Imagining the meaning of his just lost fight

He has many friends that seeing him so cold
Will say what they can that he must be bold
Then they'll understand that he just needs some time
Before he can heal and to relief his pain

Jack solo
Bob solo

Thinking it's painful at when before this deed,
I was so hopeful I thought I’d succeeded!
And it hurts me so much that it is for so few,
If I’m now not happy, if I only knew!!!

I don't know if I will resist this time,
I can't understand, why you give me all this pain!
I don't know if I’ll feel anymore fine,
No false foe, no bad luck, this shame's all... mine.

Ricc solo

Rit: Thinking...

Well now dear friend please reflect as you see:
you just keep complaining, now listen to me!
I think that our kind best quality is
that we can always change, and can always refit.

Don't think what you could get just think what you have,
Don't think what you just let just think to behave!
I swear! that I’ll never! let me fall apart.
Just think what do next, just force you to restart.

Restart.

(For life is high and lows. All you need is to see lows for what they are - the beginning of a new high!)

REFLECTION
(Bovoli, Ricci C.)

For many years I’ve been thinking,
At who I am, why I’m really living.
And what should I do for me or for you,
Now that I’m grown, and before I grow old!

Should we just care of our business?
Be rich or search, for a good fitness;
Or should we care, for the others and share,
All that we have for some godliness?!?!?!

RIT: I will FIGHT!
Fight for honor for might,
For the power the right to be free,
For a more wealth free world, not for gold,
Try to never get sold,
What to do don’t get told be a one!

But now, after many years of thinking,
I’ve made an idea, that we are just flowing;
This life’s just a test, since we all dust will rest,
But I know for sure, that we can leave back something!

So don’t spend your years doin’ nothing!
Write down, work, compose, just try to do somethin’ as…
Dyin’ for good cause, isn’t fool it’s awesome!
Who only cares for himself is just loosing his lone life…

RIT: I will ….

Awake in my bed, I always think at this world,
Where stages are set, pre-built lives are sold.
It is just too easy! To profess anarchy, or destruction.
But think what you want, heed it, that’s our reflection!

RIT: I will ….

So cry for your night,
Fight for your sights,
Die for your rights And don’t mind of your life,
If they say this is wrong,
But we do we’re a throng,
Be the first don’t go on Be yourself be a… . . . oooooone!

(For we live in a world of illusions and treachery. But nevermind how much they are, YOU can make the difference!)

KC
(Ricci C., Berdondini, Bovoli)

Welcome to this crazy hot city
Full of red bricks, poison girls wine and hell!
Who cares, don’t believe me,
Run away from here, let me tell about this place

Where people lives on (an) hill Growing a wine yard
Praying a dead prophet called Salomon
Choosing between them a girl To made her wife
And sacrifice her body in this Valpurga night!

RIT: The fifth tomb!
I will stop this foolish people,
Destroy the evil temple
But you must follow me;
‘cause your grave is ready!

Nice princess, I will love you every night
Even in my dream I must choose for your life
Raise ghoul, face me
Come and take your wife – and enjoy your surprise!

I’ve gambled this blonde hairs, I’ve changed your food
I don’t need your treasures i just wanna spill your blood
Take your silver knife Step in front of me
Try to stop this fire or fall into your grave!

RIT: The fifth tomb! (..)

She’s mother elected
Sister saw and call her blessed
Queen and harlot sing their praise
And together (their) hands they raise

If it’s a wall, we’ve built a silver tower
If it’s a door, WE’VE SHUT WITH CEDAR AXISES!

(The epic ballad of Karl Craven - Created by Jonathan Latimer (1906-1983))

THE ENDING

MAN OF THE CROWD
(Ricci C., Bovoli)

In the streets of the city, At the sunset of my life,
Close enough to make their feelings mine, To recharge my dry heart.
Crawling through the crowd, Running up and down the square,
I won’t fight against the force of men, This is the rise of one more day!

RIT: Ooooooooohhh, I am damned and alone!
I can’t live on my own (that’s my curse!)
I can’t complete my soul (I need yours!)
I can’t disperse this spell, as I’m closed in this Cell!
I’m the one I’m the man of the crowd!

Rays of light at the horizon Let me start another walk,
But I’m no daemon of the lost souls I just live upon your souls.
People out of theatre I let them take me away,
But rain is falling and they flee away I must run, as I can’t live alone!

RIT: Ooooooh…

HONEYMOON
(Bovoli, Ricci C.)

Hey, little girlfriend, Just listen to my tales,
I’ll tell you of the power of love!
I once had a girlfriend, We met in the shore
She left for another one!

(PRE-RIT)
So pretty and so young So helplessly dumb
She wanted to marry the one!
Now alone she stands, And you can hear her say:
I want back my….

(RIT)
Honeymoon! But now it’s gone, and it’s gone for good
Honeymoon! I’ve been a fool, when I’ve married you!
Honeymoon! Now what remains of your romantic tour?
Honeymoon! She’s looking back and wanting more, and more, and more back her honey…

So that is my story, I tell you – for what?
To warn you of the power of love!
When your time will come, Be smart – or you’ll lose:
Your lone chance to marry the one!

(PRE-RIT) So pretty and so young...

(RIT) Honeymoon! (...)

PATHETIKA
(Costa, Bovoli, Lentis, Ricci C.)

You believe you can spit judgements
Only because you’ve been hurt or stepped or used
Take back your life and let be loved
Nut doctor is not evil, He can dig in the dark underground!

(RIT) Pull down the pain, which strikes in your vein
Sink your roots in true blood…

Closed in your fear he’ll take you to the light
Thou shall bloom and show again,
In a scented flight
Sometimes you’re cruel with your own kind
Only because it’s warlike and lost – In the tragic depths of human kind

(RIT) Pull down the pain, which strikes in your vein
Sink your roots in true blood…
…river that bears within
its womb fresh and clean gems that you are living!

When hatched they shall be – More humble and strong
Please fall in there so you can look beyond
The depth in which you – Risk the oblivion
It can show to you what you really are now!

Closed in your fear he’ll take you to the light
Thou shall bloom and show again,
In a scented flight
Sometimes you’re cruel with your own kind
Only because it’s warlike and lost – In the tragic depths of human kind

(RIT) Pull down the pain, which strikes in your vein
Sink your roots in true blood…
…river that bears within
its womb fresh and clean gems that you are living!

Turning back is – Like dying and then
Being reborn again running without breathing
On the black path – Of destiny
You can restart walking by the living!

(None should judge others easily – Don’t judge if you don’t want to be judged)

SECRETNESS
(2007 - Ricci C., Lentis, Bovoli)

(Like the rain it pours down
Flaming love starts its countdown
Burning faster sound of passion
Fading slowly smell of sex-sion

So far from the other looking
So far from people’s gossips
Creeping love, live in secretness
He meets her body only in darkness

(RIT) Yeah, Ye-Yeah! (x2)

Another day without a sunrise
Because this love has no apology
Again in hell, not due to evil
Secret love doesn’t want more needles

I never met a velvet body
Flames are burning now on this bed
I don’t want only your breast
I want it all – I want your red

(RIT) Yeah, Ye-Yeah! (x4)

But this crush slides out of my life
Like red silk on steel runs too light
After passion, love, now what remains?
Only bodies alone with empty veins

Lost will crushed all my dreams
I met her body, but not her feelings
Wrong turn took you to the end
Go ahead my heart, I don’t resent..
(RIT) Hee-eee-eer
Hee-eee-eer
Yeah, Ye-Yeah! (x2)

ANGER
(2007 - Bovoli, Ricci C., Lentis, Costa)

Anger ya! runs through my veins
Someone betrayed me again
So called friends turned me down
They speak of love and bounds

They change their mind in a few seconds
And you turn from horse to jackass
You search your soul in the darkness
But you can’t find any answers

(PRE-RIT)
Anger
Running through my veins
Builds higher all my pain
I hate this feeling in me

I need
To leave this scene behind
With cool mind I will find
New reasons in to my mind

(RIT)
I need my friends
Left behind
I want them
They are mine

My mind ya! twisted my ego’s beating
All words and bodies are empty
Now ways are written, just one solution
Forget this town and its pollution

(PRE-RIT) Anger…
(RIT) I need my friends…

I’m very angry or only hurt
My friends are enemies, anger burns
This feeling is stupid, I’ll change my mind
I’ll try this tomorrow to recognize my rights
With a new cool mind I’m thinking
Games are written it’s time of changing
Turn on my heart and build a new bridge
I’ll try to understand a new friend’s edge
