Lyrics
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
:ENGLISH TEXT:
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
Lyrics translation
Night falls
Between Dead stories and betrayed memories
Weeping ancient tragedies
But not yellowed
Slow plunges
Among the uncertain destinies of the Empire
Of a fertile homeland that sells out horror
In exchange for Black Gold
I fear.
He blows impetuously from an unsuspecting nation
Lullaby in orgy
Of disinformation
The sheriff reassures the end is then freedom
But the project does not convince: it is the end to justify
Clouds of torture and coercion
Addicted to legality
The rights chimeras with 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
Gloomy advances
Burn the faults and wounds of evil
Empty mirror of dreams
Of the old capital
They're yesterday's splinters.
The threads of a hostile past flow
For an unknown tomorrow
Hooded face
But the project does not convince now you have to devise
A lie or a gimmick to justify
Clouds of torture and coercion
Addicted to legality
The rights chimeras with stars and Stripes
Between the legs of impunity
