Riflessioni Al Tramonto

A new collection in the Italian series. This one features ten down-to-earth rcok tracks, without unnecessary ambition to be over-complex just for the sake of being very "progressive". Instead, you'll find an excellent blend of guitar soloing, occasional (quite decent) use of the flute, pleasant voices, a healthy dose of keyboards, and such.

Tracks:

  1. Ibis - Narratio
  2. De De Lind - Paura del Niente
  3. Aria Palea - Scena Dopo Scena
  4. Flea - L'angelo timido
  5. Il Bacio Della Medusa - Ricordi Del Supplizio

  9. Rocky's Filj - Martino
  10. Osanna - Non Sei Vissuto Mai

Download (incl. lyrics)

War, children,
It's just a shot away
---
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
---
Come away, Melinda,
Come in and close the door.
That someone is your Mummy
You had before the war.
---
A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died
---
I'm a small boy with blood on his hands
Yes I'm a child of the universe
You can see me on the TV every night
Always there to join in someone else's fight
---
The dogs of war don't negotiate
The dogs of war won't capitulate
They will take and you will give
And you must die so that they may live
