"Ya know there's something I've to say from the start, this is about a little child we all got inside, he's helpin us to dream and play, keep him alive means our lives" Little dreamer, little dreamer oh baby, please don't cry smile and laugh at things around you I'll feed you with hope and dreams I'll give you all my innocence little dreamer, oh little dreamer Dreams of better days dreams of no pain at all this is not unreal this is about my life I'll have to keep excitement and strenght I'll have to keep my child alive that child is inside me that child is me I would be dead too soon and I still wanna get my dreams and hopes I'll call you friend and we'll keep on doin we'll keep on playin 'till we keep on livin' Take care of you little dreamer take care of me little dreamer.

Don't forget 03:02
You see, many years have gone and I'm kinda tired of talking about these things again you'll be surely tired of it but let me tell you few more things for the very last time It's about the way we live it's concernin what we think main values have gone to dust but opening our views will never mean to me to forget about my morals never forget about my morals This is not a boring preach, not a tired rethoric I'm here only to say: I wanna be aware once again my dreams could be never attended but my heart is still on the edge my mind will never forget. We all refused certain rules and the beginning was great so now I just say: Keep on stickin at your own law don't accept any looser game it's harder now yes I know but we'll meet once again in another clean sea Don't forget. Now it's just up to you and me. Don't forget. Our heads, our hearts, our hands are gonna be the right place for a revolution Do not forget. Don't forget.

It's hard 03:22
(It's a) trial... Doesn't matter if it's not a big deal it's important if you know what it means. We can build up together what has never been built, it's a dream in your mind, it's a whole complete life ...It doesn't really matter how big your goal is, as long as you're aware of what you're running for and when we're gonna get it, it's gonna be the moment, more than ever...more than ever... never leave our hearts fallin' behind. Now I wanna teach you how, there's a new way to feel, you gotta catch each moment, each moment you live, gotta do it for real... (now, how does it feel?) Even if it's hard...You know it's hard... It's fuckin' hard!

Sempre in bilico sei sempre in bilico tra l'odio e l'amore tra gioia e la tristezza tra un senso di potenza e il vuoto del fallimento Sempre in bilico forse per questo sei proprio tu il futuro e` da scrivere e con lui anche tu Sempre in bilico tra paure e sogni di ridente grandezza sensazioni eccitanti e frustranti pudori Oltre cio` che credi di potere fare oltre cio` che vedi ed il mondo che ti sei creato oltre a tutto questo ci sei anche tu La tua mente, la tua anima disegnano traiettorie di vita oltre la morte in bilico con la realta` la realta` dello spirito lo spirito della tua vita Sempre in bilico.....

Un impronta di vita traspare prende forma e si traduce dentro mille fantasie dietro una casa con mille luci colori attenuati e corpi violenti il dolore e` piu` sottile ma continuo nel tempo. Brucia di vita apri gli occhi guarda in alto e stringi i denti. Il vecchio e la sua risata si sono spenti nel tempo lacrime di pietra hanno scalfito foto ricordo in bianco e nero tutto si tramanda attraverso un cuore di follia nel culmine di un'arida passione. Brucia di vita apri gli occhi guarda in alto la morte e` lontana.
6.
La nostra linea diritta corre in mezzo al nero mentre attraversiamo citta` mute come fantasmi della trasgressione Soli in un abbraccio disperato soli nello scherzo alla vita ma un brivido di energia corre di nuovo nel mio corpo e domani rideremo ancora in faccia a noi stessi in faccia alla morte Forse stiamo sbagliando ma chi sara` mai l'eroe del giusto? non rimarra` niente di quello che siamo risate sfuocate nello specchio del vivere sberleffo alla santa ragione ricorderemo sempre tutto lucidi guerrieri pronti a vendicare la vita Soli in un abbraccio disperato... Non rimarra` niente di quello che siamo ribelli al nostro destino piccola minaccia in un tempo sbagliato.

Parole 02:51
Parla con le tue parole parlami con le parole bagnate dai ricordi stralci di vita impregnati dai sogni mani nel vuoto mentre gli occhi pensano... Parla dei gesti e dei volti parla dei giorni vissuti che hai davvero incontrato ridi dei pianti e guardi nel cielo. Cerca la fine del vento nel sorriso di un nuovo giorno Parla, parlami ancora con parole di sabbia io sono qui ad ascoltare i tuoi sguardi.
8.
When I'm lookin back with today's eyes I see there was a lot of pain growin up in me and I just can't understand how could I suffer so much 'cause I'm laughing at myself, now I'm laughin' at myself... Yesterday pain will never be back again Never back again I only didn't get old enough to leave my life behind but there's something that I don't really own anymore and now, when I close my eyes I can find more colors than black. Yesterday pain will never be back again Never back again.
9.
There's just one place I'm lookin for there's something I will never find and I'm afraid to stop I'm goin' on and I mean what I say Pictures of you all are on my mind's wall I'll get back to you soon gimme the time to stop. I won't be afraid no more I'll sit down on the beach and say what I think deep to my soul losin' myself into the end of the sky I'll cry and put my heart into the sea hope you will come down to take my body away Up on the mountain, back to my friends.

Tutti pazzi 03:07
Nelle strade, nelle piazze, nei palazzi i bambini, madri a casa, operai tanti soldi, una casa, un lavoro tutti pazzi, tutti pazzi, tutti pazzi! Non e` questa la mia vita, tutto questo non fa per me Una guerra, una morte, grande corsa verso la morte tutti felici, tutti contenti, state morendo tutti pazzi, tutti pazzi, tutti morti.
11.
Il giorno del sole e` vicino il giorno in cui il sole splende come tu hai sempre voluto Questo e` solo un miraggio ma noi siamo qui legati dobbiamo ancora strisciare nel fango nella terra impregnata di emozioni fortemente volute nell'acqua limpida delle sensazioni sincere ma pagate col prezzo del dolore; quello che ci rimane e` la tristezza del tramonto serena tristezza di giorni vissuti e sofferti nel limbo delle emozioni piu` forti La nostra speranza vede il giorno del sole facile per gli ingenui impossibile per gli ipocriti l'unica nostra forza e` la sincerita` il nostro giorno del sole splendera` di energia fin dall'alba e il tramonto vivra` dei nostri sorrisi sui volti scavati dal pianto.

Get away 05:18
I look around for everyone who can hear me, I make a sound. I look around an' what do I see? Nothing, nothing but the ground so, I get away. I get away from everything is not concernin' with myself, my life is made of thousand pieces and it's so hard to set'em up ...I get away. I can hardly hear your voices, I gotta get closer to you if I try to look thru' your bodies I (just) can't see beyond seven years I've been searchin for something that could have made me strong, now I feel tired but I'm still searchin for what is left of my own. I look around, I'm on my own, a part of me is almost gone and I walk, I walk, I look around, a cloudy sky is on my head so, I get away. I get away from all of you, don't wanna see, don't wanna know. My life is made of thousand pieces and it's so hard to set'em up ...I get away.

released May 27, 2025

Here we are,
joking and smiling just outside of CBGB’s after the concert.
It was the last show of our american tour, mostly supporting DOA,
except for this and another couple of places.
We were on the road since a month and a half, having arrived in the
US in mid july from Holland where we just finished recording what
will later become the album “100%”... (continues in the booklet included in the download).
