STUCK AMONG THESE STONES


AWAKENING
(Music by Angelo Pitone, Claudio Giraudo; lyrics by Angelo Pitone)

Get close to me for awhile
Let's try to sync your virtual mind with mine


Dress up in your best mask tonight
There's lots of sharing that awaits you


But wait, wait, wait...

I can't show you the way of awakening
In this world made of misery and hypocrisy


We are all lying on a bed of spikes
We must only open up our eyes this time
And discover why…

No one can show us the way of awakening
In a world made of misery and hypocrisy

No one can show us the way of awakening
In a world made of misery and hypocrisy


We will be deprived of our senses ‘til the end of time
And the boss of men will celebrate his victory

 


CROSSFIRE
(Music & lyrics by Angelo Pitone)

A thousand years of history
Violence wars and blood
There seems to be no remedy
To the killings in the name of God

In the crossfire
I fight the enemy beyond the boundary lines
In the crossfire
How do I fight another man, in another land and deny human rights?


Nothing’s changed and nobody cares
It’s always political affairs
From man to man the fate’s the same
Until the very end of the game


Nobody wins, no, nobody wins!!

In the crossfire
I fight the enemy beyond the boundary lines
In the crossfire
How do I fight another man, in another land and deny human rights?

Hearts in flame
Blood in my eyes until the end of the day
Childhood being torn apart
By now there’s no way to restart
With a normal life


In the crossfire
I fight my brother

In the crossfire
I fight the enemy beyond the boundary lines
In the crossfire
How do I fight another man, in another land? oh ooh oh ooh oh oh
In the crossfire
I fight the enemy beyond the boundary lines
In the crossfire
How do I fight another man, in another land and deny human rights?

 

UNAWARE PASSENGER

(Music & lyrics by Angelo Pitone)

I feel that I was born with a clear purpose
I’m still trying to understand how to perform my role
In this land that cries out tears of blood and sorrow
I want to know the truth that hides from me

It’s an inescapable matter
That the world is facing its end
I can’t believe I am on this train
Like an unaware passenger


I feel the hopes and fears of the new generation
Are making my world into hell without a way of salvation
In this land that cries out tears of blood and sorrow
I want to know the truth that hides from me

It’s an inescapable matter
That the world is facing its end
I can’t believe I am on this train
Like an unaware passenger

The truth hides away from us
And its frailty protects the only thing it’s worth to save
And when the world is gone
I’ll remain an unaware passenger


I’m still feeling I have a clear purpose
The world has changed as well as I changed my role
In this land that cries out tears of blood and sorrow
I just want to say I don't give a shit!

It’s an inescapable matter
That the world is facing its end
I can’t believe I am in this train
Like an unaware passenger

UNIVERSAL THING

(Music & lyrics by Angelo Pitone)

Underneath the sky, we still believe
To hear the sounds of the universe
No longer do they look up the stars
And this is why we have to feel like thieves.

'Cause we don't know what we're living for

What about the time we lost
And what about our dreams?
What about the glimpse of hope
That feeds the universal thing?


Underneath the sky, we need to breathe
To feel the greatness of our Mother Earth
But no one seems to care about her worth
And this is why it's time to face our fears.

Why we don't know what we're fighting for?
Please, open up our eyes!

What about the time we lost
And what about our dreams?
What about the glimpse of hope
That feeds the universal thing?
What about the holy wonders
And what about the self-belief
What about the miracle
Of which we desperately need?

For all the help signals you've sent
We never listened to your prayers
But the disaster we deserve is coming through the gates
And when our world crashes and burns
We'll surely pass the point of no return

What about the time we lost
And what about our dreams?
What about the glimpse of hope
That feeds the universal thing?
What about the holy wonders
And what about the self-belief
What about the miracle
Of which we desperately need?

What about the time we lost?
(Will we still survive?)
What about the glimpse of hope?
(Is this the end?)
What about the holy wonders?
(Will we still survive?)
What about the miracle
Do we need it?

10:1

(Music & lyrics by Angelo Pitone)

I'm afflicted with a strange disease called ambition, see what I mean?
Could this be the cause of these scars on my conscience?

I am feeling crushed by a burden on a ratio of 10 to 1
And I push, push, push, I turn the knobs, but the threshold keeps gettin' lower
I'm going back and forth in this crazy maze

 

Fast attack
Fast release
Fast attack and stop!


I'm afflicted with a strange disease, so-called loyalty, see what I mean?
Could this be the cause of these ups and downs in my moods?

I am feeling crushed by a burden on a ratio of 10 to 1
And I push, push, push, I turn the knobs, but the threshold keeps gettin' lower
I'm going back and forth in this crazy maze

In this mad world, the honest actions are just a fucking lie
That we heard when we were young
So once we lost our faith, we got poisoned and corrupted

I am feeling crushed by a burden on a ratio of 10 to 1
And I push, push, push, I turn the knobs, but the threshold keeps gettin' lower
I'm going back and forth in this crazy maze

I am feeling crushed by a burden, but the threshold keeps gettin' lower


I'm afflicted with a strange disease, so-called empathy...

AM I STILL ALIVE?

(Music & lyrics by Angelo Pitone)

I'm crawling in the dark, and I'm exhausted
Don't know how long I can resist


I'm struggling to find the way to save my memories
From the evil that's out there

And now that it's raining
Only the waters of time can erase my pain


So I can find myself again

I've kept my eyes shut for a long time
And I have heard enough of your lies
Am I still alive?


I'm still crawling in the dark like there's no tomorrow
In the ruins that a false God lef behind

And now that the sun is shining
I just want to sing for the good of the world


So let's sing it together

I've kept my eyes shut for a long time
And I have heard enough of your lies

Every time I see my face in the mirror
The ghost of my past comes back again to haunt my soul

But I will fight until it's over

I've kept my eyes shut for a long time
And I have heard enough of your lies
I've kept my eyes shut...
I've kept my eyes shut...

THE FORTRESS

(Music & lyrics by Angelo Pitone)

Out there,
You're feeling so alone
That you seem to be in a landscape of the north
The frost is sharp and biting
And anything you're thinking withers and dies


Don't give in
If you don't get anything at all
You just have to be brave…

Don't attempt to hold back all your sorrow
'Cause you can leave all of that behind
Nowadays all you’ve got is only borrowed
The reason why the best is yet to come...


Walking on an iced bay
You're trying to give a sense to all your life


Don't give in
If you don't get everything you want
You must not lose your faith

Don't attempt to hold back all your sorrow
'Cause you can leave all of that behind
Nowadays all you’ve got is only borrowed
The reason why the best is yet to come...
The best is yet to come…


The choices you make now will weave the canvas of your tomorrow
Let the loneliness become the fortress for your heart and your soul

Don't attempt to hold back all your sorrow

'Cause you can leave all of that behind

Nowadays all you’ve got is only borrowed

The reason why the best is yet to come...

Don't attempt to hold back all your sorrow

The reason why the best is yet to come...

COLD SHIVERS

(Music & lyrics by Angelo Pitone)

I've been betrayed by people I thought were my best friends,
I've been betrayed by those I thought could help me to make amends,
I've been betrayed by those who have eaten from my blood and sweat,
I've been betrayed by my enemy hasn't given me a second chance


Shame on you, guilty - scream it out loud now!
Shame on you, guilty - scream it out loud now!

Cold, cold, cold, cold shivers on my skin
What's gripping my heart of stone? – I said
Cold, cold, cold, cold shivers on my skin
What's run into my veins? I'm not beloved


I've been betrayed by countless suspects that I decided to ignore
I've been betrayed by the foolish pride that blinded me to the bone
I've been betrayed by my good intentions, and now it's time to pay my dues
I've been betrayed by the choices I took, and nothing can ever fix my values


Shame on you, guilty - scream it out loud now!
Shame on you, guilty - scream it out loud now!

Cold, cold, cold, cold shivers on my skin
What's gripping my heart of stone? – I said
Cold, cold, cold, cold shivers on my skin
What's run into my veins?


Shame, shame, shame, shame!!
(Scream it out loud now)


Cold, cold, cold, cold shivers on my skin
What's gripping my heart of stone? - Ok
(Scream it out loud now)
Cold, cold, cold, cold shivers on my skin
What's run into my veins?

STUCK AMONG THESE STONES

(Music & lyrics by Angelo Pitone)

It's raining
It's raining on us
It will never end

It will never end
Until we understand
That we are not alone
And surrender will not give us anything
Except for bitter tears


It's raining
It's always raining on us
We have to live with the anguish we created
To chase the shining light of lust
And now the turning back is too hard


We are like leaves stuck among these stones
Like leaves stuck among these stones
Like leaves stuck among these stones
Like leaves stuck among these stones

The weather will not be the same
It will change when we strive to do what it takes
Chorus
We are like leaves stuck among these stones
Like leaves stuck among these stones
Like leaves stuck among these stones
Like leaves stuck among these stones


It's raining...
It's raining...
It's raining...
It's raining...

A MENDING SILENCE

(Music & lyrics by Angelo Pitone)

I feel so weak and so strong in this loneliness
My glance lingers on this photograph

Hanging on the kitchen wall
Everything is so pure and blurred

And it keeps me down to close myself
In a deafening and mending silence


Now my old broken heart is bleeding out
I can't feel a single drop of my blood
And when the shadows fall,
They'll land on me
They will try to hide
My grief and sorrow


I've lost my faith,
And all my memories
Are stuck in a troubled past
I hope is gone


I'm not surprised
I was so paralysed
I think I'm fooling myself
And I don't know why


But there's just one thing I know
I still haven't found a way
To show my love and tell the world
I want, I want, I want to live!


Ooooh
Ooooh

Ooooh

[single] UNDER CONTROL - 6th May 2021

 

UNDER CONTROL

(Music & lyrics by Angelo Pitone)

We were stuck at home for days

After the nth crushing defeat

Today is not the same,

Because we've lost our precious game

We're more scared than yesterday,

We need to chase our demons away

We can't move

We can't breathe,

We can't choose

And we can't live

 

We want our social status back.

 

But we run like rats

To storm the stores

And screw all those stupid fucking cats

This thing's a scam They sell like jam

Don't you get bored of hearing that it's all under control?

 

Don't you? Come on, man!

 

We're standing at the edge of resistance,

We need a bit of confidence,

We can't move

We can't breathe,

We can't choose

But we can still believe!

 

We want our social status back.

 

But we run like rats

To storm the stores

And screw all those stupid fucking cats

This thing's a scam

They sell like jam

Don't you get bored of being alone?

 

Turn it on

Turn it off

My brain is gone!

Turn in on

Turn it off

Turn it on

Hey man, what the fuck do you want from me?

 

I got enough of my own

Please, don't rub it in

Can you hear this desperate crying?

Please, don't rub it in.

 

But we run like rats

To storm the stores

And screw all those stupid fucking cats

This thing's a scam

They sell like jam Don't you get bored of being alone?

But we run like rats

To storm the stores

And screw all those stupid fucking cats

This thing's a scam

They sell like jam

Don't you get bored of hearing that it's all under control?

Under control

Under control

The End Of A Nightmare - front cover.jpg

[single] THE END OF A NIGHTMARE - 8th July 2021


 
THE END OF A NIGHTMARE
(Music & lyrics by Angelo Pitone)

It's hard to sleep 'cause you're messing up with my head.
Since it began, I only slept three hours in three days.
I need some help. I need to rest, but I have to stay awake.
Brother, I think you're losing yourself. It's better to keep quiet

Please, don't worry; it's only your fucking imagination
Time will erase the pain you feel, not now, but only when you're healed!

Is this the end of a nightmare for everyone?
What's your private hell?
What d'you think you deserve?
What's your regret?
Is this the end of a nightmare for everyone?
What's your private hell?
What d'you think you deserve?
What's your regret?

Please, don't worry; it's only your fucking imagination
Time will erase the pain you feel, not now because you're garbled and dazed.

Yeah-y-eah-y-eah-y-eeeeeaaaaaahhhh

Is this the end of a nightmare for everyone?
What's your private hell?
What d'you think you deserve?
What's your regret?

Is this the end of a nightmare for everyone?
What's your private hell?
What d'you think you deserve?
What's your regret?
Is that your regret?

[single] BLEEDING WOUNDS - 27th January 2022


 

BLEEDING WOUNDS
(Music & lyrics by Angelo Pitone)
 

Lately, I've been feeling rather strange and confused

I gotta find a way to be invincible

 

I think I was wrong again, and I've been feeling like I'm losing control

Compromise can't be the best solution when I have to choose

I would like to save the memory of my failures as teaching.

My human body's burning in the sun

Like a vampire, I'm looking for protection

My weaknesses are the mirror of my soul

My mistakes are eternal bleeding wounds

My human body's burning in the sun

Like a vampire, I'm looking for protection

My weaknesses are the mirror of my soul

My mistakes are eternal bleeding wounds

 

Oh my God, forgive me for the sins that I still have not committed.

Just never learned, please, guide this troubled heart into the darkest night.

I would like to save the memory of my promises as teaching.

My human body's burning in the sun

Like a vampire, I'm looking for protection

My weaknesses are the mirror of my soul

My mistakes are eternal bleeding wounds

My human body's burning in the sun

Like a vampire, I'm looking for protection

My weaknesses are the mirror of my soul

My mistakes are eternal bleeding wounds

[single] POISONED HEART - 12th May 2022


 

POISONED HEART
(Music & lyrics by Angelo Pitone)
 

Little girl, little boy

Do you know you make me very happy?

I'm in ecstasy when I see you've fun next to me

In a little while the sun goes down

It's better to come back home, come now

 

Take my hands and you'll feel secure

'Cause I'll bring you in a place you've never seen before...

I love you

 

Little girl, little boy

Do you know I can't tell you what's going on in my head?

Black blood, black blood is pouring out

From my poisoned heart

 

Take my hands and you'll feel secure

Even if you'll feel alone

And when you'll read this letter

It means that I'm dead

I'm dead

 

Little girl, little boy

(What happened in my head?)

Little girl, little boy

(How could I be so wrong?)

Little girl, little boy

(Can I go back? Can I go back?)

Little girl, little boy

(Can I go back? Can I go back?)

Little girl, little boy

[single] NERVOUS BREAKDOWN - 3rd February 2023


 

NERVOUS BREAKDOWN
(Music & lyrics by Angelo Pitone)
 

There’s a tendency for people to go through the motions of doing what they need
Everything they see and everything they hear is just in words, but not in deeds


Why won’t you listen to the nation?
You’ll never take away the freedom of expression
We’re on the edge of a nervous breakdown
Whatever happens, we will never fall to the ground
Why won’t you listen to the nation?
You’ll never take away the freedom of expression
We’re on the edge of a nervous breakdown
Whatever happens, we will never fall to the ground
To the ground

Maybe there’s a space between fantasy and reality, but they can’t see the line…
Everything they feel and everything they are must be a thorn in the statesman’s side


Why won’t you listen to the nation?
You’ll never take away the freedom of expression
We’re on the edge of a nervous breakdown
Whatever happens, we will never fall to the ground
Why won’t you listen to the nation?
You’ll never take away the freedom of expression
We’re on the edge of a nervous breakdown
Whatever happens, we will never fall to the ground


Liars, preachers, armies of professors
They don’t practice what they preach
Broken promises and back to the starting point
This ain’t a game at all, but you don’t give a damn!


Why won’t you listen to the nation?
You’ll never take away the freedom of expression
We’re on the edge of a nervous breakdown
Whatever happens, we will never fall to the ground
Why won’t you listen to the nation?
You’ll never take away the freedom of expression
We’re on the edge of a nervous breakdown
Whatever happens, we will never fall to the ground
To the ground

[single] ON THE LEDGE - 8th June 2023


 

ON THE LEDGE
(Music by Angelo Pitone & lyrics by Lisa Tenzin-Dolma)
 

There are old bones in the valley of my thoughts
Creaking out the answers that I just can't ignore anymore
As I wait to see what's on the distant shore

There are whispers in my mind, but I don't listen
They come from ancient gods who left me long ago - now I'm alone
And keep my gaze fixed on that distant shore

I am poised to take the leap
As the stones slide under me
I can't wait until the mystery finally comes to me

On the ledge, it feels so good
That I can fly beyond the haunted dreams
On the ledge, it feels so good
It will be the place where I'll be safe and free
Another self, another vision,
Of who I am meant to be
I'm on the ledge

There are whispers in my mind, but I don't listen anymore
The voices of ancient gods are far away from home
So I keep my gaze fixed on that distant shore

I am poised to take the leap
As the stones slide under me
I can't wait until the mystery finally comes to me

On the ledge, it feels so good
That I can fly beyond the haunted dreams
On the ledge, it feels so good
It will be the place where I'll be safe and free
Another self, another vision,
Of who I am meant to be

I can fly beyond the thinning veil
And tear it all asunder as I pass
Yes, I know well that I can't fail
Take just one more step towards the edge,

I'm on the ledge, and it feels so good
Now I can fly beyond the haunted dreams
I'm on the ledge, and it feels so good
It will be the place where I'll be safe and free
Another self, another vision,
Of who I am meant to be
I'm on the ledge

[single] UNBECOMING - 18th August 2023


 

UNBECOMING
(Music by Angelo Pitone & lyrics by Lisa Tenzin-Dolma)
 

I could sing a thousand tales
Of love and loss, trust and betrayal,
Of shining nights and shooting stars
Birthed within the fiery void
Of unbecoming
Of unbecoming

Voiceless, stories curl and flail
Against the silence, make avowal
To find expression, penetrate
Slip through the tender narrow cracks
Of unbecoming
Of unbecoming

In the light, such things are small
Subsumed within the daily trials
Yet come the night the spirit rails
Against the silence heralding
An unbecoming
An unbecoming

I could sing a thousand tales
Against the silence of the night
That slides across soft, narrow cracks
Of unbecoming
Of unbecoming
Of unbecoming
Of unbecoming

In the light, such things are small
Subsumed within the daily trials
Yet come the night the spirit rails
Against the silence heralding
An unbecoming
An unbecoming

But in the quiet, the seeds unfurl,
Push through the loamy depths,
Prevail against the pressure of the soil
That weighs so heavy, wayfaring towards a new becoming.

In the light, such things are small,
Subsumed within the daily trials
Yet come the night the spirit rails
Against the silence heralding
An unbecoming
An unbecoming

In the light, such things are small,
Subsumed within the daily trials
Yet come the night the spirit rails
Against the silence heralding
An unbecoming
An unbecoming

[single] INTO THE SILENCE - 8th JUNE 2023


 

INTO THE SILENCE
(Music by Angelo Pitone & lyrics by Lisa Tenzin-Dolma)
 

As evening cast its spell, the technicolor sky
Transformed the day to night
I felt the world subside and closed my eyes to light

I wove a silken web from filaments of dreams
I conjured visions of rebirth
And felt the past absorbed within the sleeping earth

Enfolded in the soft cocoon
I stood and stretched and saw it melt away like a ghost

Into the silence came,
Thou, radiance sublime
A thought, a seed, you've flown away,
Blossomed within my mind

As evening cast its spell, the colors in my life
Transformed from black and white
I felt the warmth of the sun, and now I'm fine

Enfolded in the soft cocoon
I stood and stretched and saw it melt away like a ghost

Into the silence came,
Thou, radiance sublime
A thought, a seed, you've flown away,
Blossomed within my mind

Into the silence came,
Thou, radiance sublime
A thought, a seed, you've flown away
Then I went back to shine
I went back to shine

EMERGE
(Music by Angelo Pitone & lyrics by Lisa Tenzin-Dolma)
 

It's strange how things become so clear
When everything looked out of place
That emptiness was like a profound lake
And its cold caress was beckoning to me

To dive
To dive
To dive
To dive

As long as it's meant to be
I'm here, and I'm alive
And I breathe infinity
I sing for my growth and change
And all that went before
Never mind, it's time to emerge

And so, finally, I took the leap and found
Such treasures that I have never known
The spirit of darkness in the ground
And the soul of life that still unfold

In the light
The light
In the light
The light

As long as it's meant to be
I'm here, and I'm alive
And I breathe infinity
I sing for my growth and change
And all that went before
Never mind, it's time to emerge

As long as it's meant to be
I'm here, and I'm alive
And I breathe infinity
I sing for my growth and change
And all that went before
Never mind, it's time to emerge

Emerge

[single] INTO THE WILD - 21st June 2024


 

INTO THE WILD
(Music by Angelo Pitone; Lyrics by Angelo Pitone & Lisa Tenzin-Dolma)


 

Into the wild wood's shadow

I hear the ancient trees

Creaking out a warning groan

Beneath my cautious feet

 

Small creatures jump and cling

Just right over me

As if I was their forest king

Then quickly they retreat

I can't hear my heart that's beating

I hold my breath now that I've seen you

I am here, and I'm seeking you

You are there, and you're seeking me

Are we searching for our angel?

If eternity should fail

No one will come to our graves

But our immense love will last forever

 

Into this wild wood's shadow

The fireflies start to glow

Drawing thousands of sinuous curves

So I keep my steady nerves

 

Unseen, they watch me over

Until the end of the road

That'll lead me to my sweet beloved

In God's name from above

I can hear your heart that's beating

I hold my breath now that I've found you

I am here, and I'm seeking you

You are there, and you're seeking me

Are we searching for our angel?

If eternity should fail

No one will come to our graves

But our immense love will last forever

The darkness rises from within

All that I feared was here

The shadow snakes up, threatens me

With her sweet annihilation,

Yeah, I'll keep moving on

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

(I feel a tremor in the earth)

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

(At every step the darkness falls)

But I am here, and I'm seeking you

You are there, and you're seeking me

Are we searching for our angel?

If eternity should fail

No one will come to our graves

But our immense love will last forever

[single] THE QUEST - 20th August 2024


 

THE QUEST
(Music by Angelo Pitone; Lyrics by Angelo Pitone & Lisa Tenzin-Dolma)


 

I see your face within the visions that arise (in my mind)

Please, lead me through the darkness, away from all that I once knew

This is all that I can do

I got no reason to let go

I feel you closer now

I can see you in a thousand faces

I'll let the creatures be my gentle guides

Yes, I'll do my best

To carry out my quest

 

You beckon me beyond the fragments of the moon

That peeks above the trees, but you vanish just when I take flight

Sometimes I don't know what to do

But I know my heart belongs to you

(My heart belongs to...)

I feel you closer now

I can see you in a thousand faces

I'll let the creatures be my gentle guides

Yes, I'll do my best

To carry out my quest

And when the rain slips through the trees

I can raise my head to feel

The kiss of nature on my face

And the strength pumps in my veins

'Cause we're two hearts in one soul

You're here, one step away from me

Take my hand now and forever

Y' know, our hearts belong to each other

C'mon darling, please don't run away!

I felt you closer for a while

I can see you in a thousand faces

I'll let the creatures be my gentle guides

Yes, I'll do my best

To carry out my quest
