Oro nero - Talco

Scende la notte

Tra storie spente e memorie tradite

Piange tragedie antiche

Ma non ingiallite

Lenta sprofonda

Tra le sorti incerte dell’impero

Di una patria feconda che svende l’orrore

In cambio dell’oro nero

Desto il terrore

Soffia impetuoso da un’ignara nazione

Che si culla nell’orgia

Della disinformazione

Lo sceriffo rassicura il fine è poi la libertà

Ma il progetto non convince: è il fine per giustificare

Nubi di torture e coercizioni

Assuefatte di legalità

I diritti chimere a stelle e strisce

Tra le gambe dell’impunità

Crolla la libertà

Tra le gambe dell’impunità

Cade la dignità

Il terrore è legalità

Crolla la libertà

Nell’oceano dell’impunità

Cade la dignità

Il terrore è legalità

Lugubre avanza

Brucia le colpe e le ferite del male

Specchio vuoto di sogni

Del vecchio capitale

Sono schegge di ieri

Scorrono i fili di un ostile passato

Per un domani ignoto

Dal volto incappucciato

Ma il progetto non convince ora si deve escogitare

Una menzogna o un espediente per poter giustificare

Nubi di torture e coercizioni

Assuefatte di legalità

I diritti chimere a stelle e strisce

Tra le gambe dell’impunità

BLACK GOLD

The night falls

Among tales spent and betrayed memories

It mourns ancient tragedies

Not yet turned to yellow

Gradually it sinks

Among the uncertain destiny of the empire

Of a wealthy motherland which barters horror

With black gold

Terror awake

Rages on a nation unaware

Which cherishes its orgy

Of misinformation

The sheriff reassures: freedom is the goal

But his project is unconvincing: it is only the means to justify

Clouds of torture and coercion

Rendered legal

The rights of the stars & stripes chimeras

Between the legs of impunity

Freedom crumbles

Between the legs of impunity

Dignity crumbles

Terror is made legal

Freedom crumbles

In the ocean of impunity

Dignity crumbles

Terror is made legal

Gloomy it advances

And devours the guilt and wounds of evil

The empty mirror of dreams

Of old capitalism

Yesterday’s splinters

The threads of a hostile past unravel

Towards an unknown tomorrow

With a veiled head

But their project is unconvincing and now a lie

Must be devised or a means to justify

Clouds of torture and coercion

Rendered legal

The rights of the stars & stripes chimeras

Between the legs of impunity

Night falls

Between dull stories and betrayed memories

Weeps ancient tragedies

But don't turn yellow

Slow it sinks

Among the uncertain fate of the empire

Of a fertile homeland that sells off horror

In exchange for black gold

I awaken terror

It blows impetuously from an unsuspecting nation

That lulls itself into the orgy

Of disinformation

The sheriff reassures the goal is then freedom

But the project is not convincing: it is the aim to justify

Clouds of torture and coercion

Addicted to legality

The rights chimeras to the stars and stripes

Between the legs of impunity

Freedom collapses

Between the legs of impunity

Dignity falls

Terror is legality

Freedom collapses

In the ocean of impunity

Dignity falls

Terror is legality

Eerie advances

Burn the sins and wounds of evil

Empty mirror of dreams

Of the old capital

They are splinters of yesterday

The threads of a hostile past flow

For an unknown tomorrow

With a hooded face

But the project is not convincing now it must be devised

A lie or an expedient to be able to justify

Clouds of torture and coercion

Addicted to legality

The rights chimeras to the stars and stripes

Between the legs of impunity
