a concept album by Marco Odino
(title inspired by the book of I. Velikovsky)
The story begins somewhere in our world, in our towns, countries and streets; not today, but tomorrow.
Let's listen to CNN:
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WAR
Com'on this ain't a music show
it's the first act of a new world war
this ain't illusion
there's no confusion
it's just the begin of
a kinda revolution
so don't believe to the things they say
the truth is not by the side they stay
bombs everywhere, rivers of tears
and television say : victory's near
Borders, disorders and any further
it's the begin of a new world order
Sirens are crying, rockets are falling
this is the call of brand new morning
They say we're sure we will won this war
but there's a devil who keeps the score
we are in right and we got the reason
we hate the enemies and their evil religion
And from the sky comes down the angel of death:
a plane full of coffins
Mothers cry: boys are lost
Com'on this ain't a music show... (repeat)
And from the sky come down the fate and the planes
with their load of coffins and pains
while the mothers cry their children
Speakers on television say : "this is the world's greatest show,
tonite on prime time we'll win the war , the biggest show!"
What a Beautiful War !
What a Beautiful War !
What a Beautiful War !
We're in right , we got the reason
We're in right , we got the reason
it's just the begin of a kinda revolution (reason!)
so don't believe to the things they say
Borders, disorders and any further
it's the begin of a new world order (reason!)
Borders, disorders and any further (reason, religion!)
(fight ! score! war ! )
Victory's near
Com'on this ain't a music show (fight ! war !)
it's the first act of a new world war (fight ! )
this ain't illusion (war !)
there's no confusion
it's just the begin of a kinda revolution (fight ! )
so don't believe to the things they say (war !)
(we are in right and we got the reason)
the truth is not by the side they stay (fight ! reason , war !)
bombs everywhere, rivers of tears
and television say : victory's near
...unfortunately victory isn't near and New World War starts...
FINAL GAME
...upheavals in all nations. Riots, intolerances and murders. The world turns into a new middle age...
BONFIRE
Shut up , shut up...
Shut up/father/shut up/father...
Father,
I see them burning tonight
like scarecrows :
fire in the gloom
Shut up/steel, shut up/dust, shut up/die, shut up/fast
Shut up/still, shut up/rust, shut up/life, shut up/ last
Bonfire under a sick black moon
This is the time of rituals before the Doom
...mankind comes back to ancient rituals…
MANKIND IN AMNESIA
A reconstruction of events
Freud descents into Hades
Degradation of science and religion
Natural evolution and revolution
This is the feast of light
Just before the shadow of death
Collective unconscious mind
There's no hiding place down there
Mankind in amnesia, a brand new ecclesia
Mankind to the edge of the world,
No mind, no more
Worlds in collision, earth in upheaval
Ages in chaos and we can't remember
The fire gate/Awaken
The waiting moon/Awaken
The planet cods/Awaken
The ancient times
Here come the children…
Here come the children…
Here come the children…
Here come the children…
...they begin to pray inside the ruins of the churches...
PSALM
...but it's too late...
DOOMSDAY
Welcome folks
to the end of the world
a meteor comes
a nova explodes.
God is not
on this earth
He's judgin'
all our faults:
we deserve the fall!
Com'on guys
let's observe the skies
a rocket dies
burning sunrise.
God mocks religion
men's big illusion
no need to pray:
here comes the Doomsday
Boys, here comes the Doomsday
Guys, here comes the end of the days.
...a nuclear weapon (or a God's thunderbolt) comes down from the sky:
is it the end of the world?
MEMORIAL FOR THE WORLD
Here again the Holy Ghost
is bringing down the flame
we're come back from the limbo
for this final act
Earth stood still, write last will
the sun will burn your heart
No more trees, no more fees
we celebrate the world
In the streets, in every town
buildings are melting all around
On tv, on the air
rockets are crashing everywhere
Nuclear bombs, pocket doom
easy made in every rooms
No more faith, no more gods
only a word: Armageddon!
This world is dying
this world is falling down
ozone is over
the war is on the border
Here again the Holy Ghost
is bringing down the flame
No more tears no more years
we celebrate the world
we celebrate the world
This world is dying
this world is falling down
ozone is over
the war is on the border
This world is dying
let's celebrate the fall
god's voice is calling
wise men invoke the snow
(and here it comes...)
