Lacuna Coil

No Need To Explain

I got the key to open all the gates I see
I want this power inside of me
This passage is full
of different gates I see

Just try to be yourself

Try to destroy all what you feel inside

Take and hold this hand
What you feel inside
Is another dream
Want you give me a part?
Let me say you're truly raspy
but I'm living to discover your soul

Just try to be yourself

You've got to be strong
Live in an harder way
Now

Take and hold this hand
What you feel inside
Is another dream
Want you give me a part?
Let me say you're truly raspy
but I'm living to discover your soul

And I know you're scared about the life that comes

(Look in the mirror the fear is a part of you)

Stronger and strong
I'll help you to choose the way
Can't you let me go
away

The Secret

Shot in his eyes, a silver sky,
his blood is in my hands (in my hands)
I blessed this one, I know he's died
But now I'm feeling so strange

I know
You'd better believe
That everything you do
You can't understand it
Or ever justify
I don't want to be you guide
But stay with me and think for a while
Again

The secret belong to a part of me
And it's my anger and my pain
Just close my eyes and live your life
Your tears are so sweet for me

Loosing my life
A matter of time
Refusing all this game

I blessed this one
I know he's died
But now I'm feeling
So strange

I know
I can't understand this joy inside of me
You can't understand me or ever justify

I just cannot be your guide

Just stay with me and think for a while
Again

The secret belong to a part of me
Increase my anger and my pain
Just close my eyes and live your life
Your tears are so sweet for me

Stay with me
I'll take you into another world
I'll bring your heart into another world

The secret belong to a part of me
Increase my anger and my pain
Just close my eyes and live your life
Your tears are so sweet for me

This Is My Dream

I'll never find another way to be
And like an actor I do
The best I can

This is my dream

Believe in yourself
In all the things you do

This is my dream

Believe in yourself and all your dreams come true
You want it

You'll never find another way to be
You'll never change the way to live your life

I cannot write all my confessions
But alone with myself
I can't remind my past

This is my dream

Believe in yourself I know this time you could

This is my dream

Believe in yourself but

Never be so sure
You want it

You'll never find another way to be
You'll never change the way to live your life

Soul Into Hades

Mother the day has come
Someone is trying to take my life away
And you've got to know
That now I'm feeling worst
It seems to dream

I'm still standing here in front
Of your soul
Looking into your fireless eyes
Right now I'm one too many
It's hard to say you may believe it

That everything I'll do for me
Will be in the name of your lonely tear
But stay now
I'll do
I believe in your power
Will you believe in me?

It is something for...
We are living no more

Can't you tell me girl
What I should say and where I'll go tonight?
Maybe in a dream
I'll go between the sun and shining stars

don't worry
I'll be there with you whenever you are
Right now I'm one too many
It's hard to say
You must believe it

That everything I'll do for me
Will be in the name of your lonely tear
But stay now
I'll do
I believe in your power
Will you believe in me?

It is something for...
We are living no more

Deep in you heart so alone

Falling

Stained, looking at my hands
I talk with these lines
It's not the answer
I'm crying and I now I know
Looking the sky
I search for an answer
So free, free to be
I'm not another liar
I just want to be myself...myself

And now the beat inside of me
Is a sort of a cold breeze and I've
Never any feeling inside
Around me...
I Bring my body
Carry it into another world
I know I live...but like a stone I'm falling down

Damned, looking into the sky
I can feel this rain
Right now it's falling on me
Fly, I just want to fly
Life is all mine
Some days I cry alone,
But I know I'm not the only one
I see that another day is gone
I don't want to die...
Please be here when I arrive, don't die...please

Circle

What is it for?
What is sacred?
In my circle of regrets
circle of regrets

today I'm drawing circles
in my memory, in the pages of my life

That's me for a long time
I can't run away... (long time)

These stone tears are falling down on me, all my regrets
my regrets (I don't want this feeling)

I need more
all I want is to break
my circle of regrets
circle of regrets

Is there any solution?
I want to find the way to escape... to go away

Stately Lover

I just need you absolutely
all the fears in your mind
I just want you absolutely
to sail this ship of mine

I don't know what the hell you're saying
'cause you're going blind
using all the lies they told you
to hurt your mind

And I can breathe now...

It's there, pretends to be a guide for you
like a candle in the dark
lies like a really cold breeze in the air
step by step you'll lose your faith

I just need you miserably
broken man come to me
I just need you desperately
just want to change your mind

Honeymoon Suite

Close your eyes
don't you feel the rejection, baby?
Does it hurt?
Come here now
I've got something to tell you, honey...
I don't want you back

Won't you take me back
won't you take me back with you
won't you take me back
won't you wrap me with your love again...

Get out of my life
I know I've failed you, but I'll make it up
get out of my life
I know I failed you, just let me try again

You're to blame
I'm no more you business

Can't you see I'm praying
for your forgiveness

Shut your mouth
I don't need your affection, darling
does it hurt?
Come here now
I've got something to tell you, honey...
I don't want you back

I will do anything you want
but hold me forever
be a nightmare in my sleep
scare me forever
like a bullet in my soul
kill me forever
all the lies I have sold to you
are sour thorns in my mouth

My Wings

Slip out the door and fly
I'm lost in time I hover
as an angel, I hover

Embracing all myself I reel
through the storm that is shaking me
I don't know where
I don't know why
I know I'm not going to fall

And butterflies are flying (fly away)
right beside me
as I ascend to the clouds

No, I won't delay
no, I won't delay
time is like a knife for me now
I just won't delay

Time is mine
I got the blade
change your mind
I'll make you stay

Butterflies are flying
and I just won't delay

To Myself I Turned

I was born in another world
strictly connected to a piece of my mind
nothing more than a little land
it is a small cradle where I'm a kid
I am the princess in there,
nothing wrong in my fantasy world

I am the king, the nation,
no dictators or religions
no laws laid down for me
I have my own liberty inside of me
nothing to lose, I want to live here

As you see I'm the only survivor in this land

When did I hear this wind before
change like this to a deeper roar?
I'm starting to bleed another way
I just need some time to complete myself

these spotlights are here again
I can't see anything, I'm blind
this nature of time and space
makes me sick of the situation

I couldn't know if I...
if I will be strong enough for this
I have to choose, do I want to live here?

Cold

Skin so cold
I knew you'd go away
and now I put you down to lay
nothing to feel for you
this was our last dance

Closer and closer, it's time to surrender
to the desire that you cannot mention
don't try to breathe
don't try to run away

But I'm reaching for the sky (going to fly)
won't you please stay

With a smile I watch you go
you'll never know I didn't cry
with a smile I saw you die
you'll never know I didn't cry

No more fear
they said you were so weak
and now I put you down to lay
nothing to feel for you
this was our last dance

Reverie

I have you in my dreams at night
you were holding my hands
then I awake and you're not mine
now it's time to rise

I want to turn cold ice in my soul
got to freeze this yearning inside

When you're inflicted by
the passion of love
desire and yearning the
deeper they burn
you were...
now it's too late
you were...

Now you're gone
It's too late
I was wrong
It's my fate

"I think of you and I see me
I'm the one I thought I've never be
I feel dirty - no purity
desire and yearning in you heart
no mercy for you no mercy for me."

Veins Of Glass

These ghosts I keep inside
shards of glass in my veins
release me from myself, release
from my duality

I face these as a soldier would
but useless is my war
the innocence that smiles today
tomorrow will bee lying

Who is it that really dies when all the people look at me?
And I'm twisting my fingers in my hair
while a mirror reflects me

Now I'm digging to the bone
all the painting
scratching at flesh, drives me mad
to be alive and free

And the ghosts I keep inside myself
how do they see me?
while again I'm drowning
with my soul will you save me?

Falling Again

I lay, looking at my hands
I search in these lines
I've not the answer
I'm crying and I don't know
watching the sky
I search an answer
I'm free, free to be
I'm not another liar
I just want to be myself... myself

And now the beat inside me
is a sort of a cold breeze and I've
never any feeling inside
ruining me...
bring my body
carry it into another world
I know I live... but like a stone I'm falling down

I pray, looking into the sky
I can feel this rain
right now it's falling on me
fly, I just want to fly
life is all mine
some days I cry alone,
but I know I'm not the only one
I'm here, another day is gone
I don't want to die...?
Please be there when I'll arrive, don't cry... please

Halflife

I don't want to be just a branch of the tree
I just want to learn how to grow my own seed
My horizon so hard to be outlined
Riding all my time I'm still draining my day away

You've got a natural healing
How do you get so strong?

Who is this lord of the feeling?
How did he get so big?

So fragile this feeling to be broken in two
It's really weird to say that there in the future
We're not living all our life
It's just what I know
We're incomplete despite of a new millennium

You're hiding fate

Wonderful to say that you'll never know when the world
Is going to fall and that
Is all I know
We're incomplete despite of the new millennium

I don't want to be just a cure for a need
Here into my prison I'm searching the key
My horizon so hard to be outlined
Riding all my time I'm still draining my day away

You are an unnatural survivor
Self-abuser hurt your own
All the answers sweet seduction
Chaos keeper out of control

So special this feeling to be common like you

It's really weird to say that here in the future
We're not living all our life
It's just what I know
We're incomplete despite of a new millennium

Take off your veil I'll be your fate

Wonderful to say that you'll never know when the world
Is going to fall and that
Is all I know
We're incomplete despite of the new millennium

Senzafine

Scorre lento il mio tempo
Che scivola sul velo della mia pella nuda
Se oltrepassassi il confine che mi hai dato
Forse io non sarei qui

Ma adesso ormai che senso ha
Cercare di abbracciare un passato piu puro
Guardando avanti rischierò
Ma riesco a rispondere ai miei perchè

Tutto ciò che sarai
Era già stato scritto
Se davvero esiste
Questo dio ha fallito

Ogni parola pronunciata
Sarà lo specchio del tuo dolore
Riflette la colpa
Alimenta l'odio

Madre

Il mio destino scelgo
Se riesco a resistere

Scorre lento il mio tempo
Quell' ultimo respiro
Mi rassicura sento gia

Agonia senza fine che
Mi hai dato forse no
Non sarei qui

Ma adesso ormai che senso ha
Opporre resistenza a un destino segnato
Non restero a guardare senza
Riuscire a resisterti
Risvegliarmi

Madre

Il mio destino scelgo
Se riesco a resistere

Risvegliami

Non c'è scelta senza me
Non c'è vita senza me

[English translation:]

My time flows slowly
gliding upon the veil of my naked skin
If I overstepped the borderline you gave me
maybe I would not be here

Now what's the sense
of trying to embrace a purer past
Looking forward I will risk
but I will answer my questions

All that you'll be
It was already written
If he truly exists
This God failed

Every spoken word
will be the mirror of your sorrow
reflects the fault
feeds hatred

Mother

My fate choose
if I will resist

I'm still standing up in this moment
of pure madness
I understand no longer if I should wish for good or evil
Even if sin maybe gives me more

Now what's the sense
of opposing resistance to a settled destiny
I will not be watching without
managing to withstand you
Awake me

Mother

My fate choose
if I will resist

Awake me

It isn't choice without me
It isn't life without me

Hyperfast

A storm is brewing here right by my side
I've tried all sorts of disguises
I hope he cannot do wrong within my sight
My blood is flowing as oceans
When I breathe my freedom
Words of the big religion
Simply what I need

Is what I need?

You reject defaults
In a vision of non-life
This silent overcomes
Your defensive shades is gone

Floating bubbles are laying down on me
False beliefs are drawing all my tears

Beyond sub-life
Beyond decline
Beyond this wave of rising
Beyond hard times
Beyond love bites
Beyond the day I'll face myself

A hyperfast reaction
Is playing with me
I'm so confused
But I knew
I could hold on
Just a lack of experience
Just a lack of pride
That makes me blind again

Sadly destroying everything I've done and
Everything remaining is burning in my fire

That's the way we are
Now I'm going to explode

I will choose remorse in my life
What is happening is enclosed in my fire

That makes me blind again

I'll face myself

Stars

Is it asking too much to be given time
To know these songs and to sing them
Is it asking too much of my vacant smile
And my laugh and lies that bring them

But as the stars are going out
And this stage is full of nothing
And the friends have all but gone
For my life my god I'm singing

We'll take our hearts outside
Leave our lives behind
I'll watch the stars go out

We'll take our hearts outside
Leave our lives behind
I'll watch the stars go out

Is it asking too much of my favorite friends
To take these songs for real
Is it asking too much of my partner's hands
To take these songs real

As the stars are going out
And this stage is full of nothing
And the friends have all but gone
For my life my god I'm singing

We'll take our hearts outside
Leave our lives behind
I'll watch the stars go out
We'll take our hearts outside
Leave our lives behind
I'll watch the stars go out
We'll take our hearts outside

We'll take our hearts outside

We'll take our hearts outside
Leave our lives behind
I'll watch the stars go out
We'll take our hearts outside
Leave our lives behind
I'll watch the stars go out
We'll take our hearts outside
Leave our lives behind
I'll watch the stars go out
(Leaves our lives behind)
We'll take our hearts outside
Leave our lives behind
I'll watch the stars go out
(Leaves our lives behind)
We'll take our hearts outside
Leave our lives behind
I'll watch the stars go out
(Leaves our lives behind)
We'll take our hearts outside
Leave our lives behind
I'll watch the stars go out
(Leaves our lives behind)
We'll take our hearts outside
Leave our lives behind
I'll watch the stars go out
(Leaves our lives behind)
We'll take our hearts outside
Leave our lives behind
I'll watch the stars go out
(Leaves our lives behind)

Heir Of A Dying Day

[Music: Coti Zelati/Lyrics: Scabbia]

He's the one
When you feel the heat
That he makes you feel
As a wonder

He promises to you
No more tears to cry
All the colours
Into the rainbow

Come after the rain to please
Your eyes with all the colours that you
Cannot see
He came to save us
You will see

Standing aside he's the saviour
Of your only human part you
Cannot see he came to save us
You will see

Breathing
As a child is born
As a cancer is
Killing my past

I'm wondering
How long I'll resist
Virus into my mind
As a rainbow

Shines on me
This little light on me
Goes on
Feed it

To Live Is To Hide

[Music: Coti Zelati/Lyrics: Scabbia - Ferro]

While emotions try to come out
Desperately be seeking in their path
A way so I cannot be outdone
And to finish this search for the meaning

To hide emotions cause a blow out
Desperately be seeking their blast
A way so I cannot be outdone
And to finish this search for the meaning

I'm going to freeze
Is it my imagination?
It's underground

But I can feel it the same

What I need now
What I need is to live to hide
When you smothered my devotion
With your lies

And I feel now
As I did that time
That I'm wondering why
Still I make you cry

While emotions try to come out
Desperately be seeking their path
A way so I cannot be outdone
And to finish this search for the meaning

To hide emotions cause to blow out
Desperately be seeking their blast
A way so I cannot be outdone
And to finish this search for the meaning

Suffering while I'm depending on seasons
Roots under me are embracing the earth

Purify

[Music: Coti Zelati/Migliore/Biazzi/Lyrics: Scabbia]

I cannot fight against myself
No more
Self destruction that I predicted
Not a long time ago

Petrified

Thoughts so far from me

The power of my justice blows me away
It's just the case to repeat
What I've never said to you before

Celebrate
I'm alive again

You don't expect from me
This chain reaction
You can't imagine from me
This great affection

See the structure of my pride
Wasn't easy to build it away from this
I never walked away from you
I never walked alone

A pleasure makes me vibe again tonight
I'm just thinking how fine it is to feel myself so fine again

Celebrate
I'm alive again

It's time to turn the page and start
And then
Don't you think that it's time
To convince yourself it's over?

Celebrate
I'm alive again

. When A Dead Man Walks

[Music: Coti Zelati/Lyrics: Scabbia]

Paranoia
In which I think that I'm not confident
Blood into my hands I can't deny
A buzz into my ears that makes me mad

But I don't look back

While I'm waiting to die
I don't look back
In a weird lullaby
I'll carry on

And the hope in my heart is dry

But I don't look back
And I cannot reply
I don't look back
While I'm waiting to lie
I'll carry on
While they want to decide for me

Once again

Living in their cage
They are killing me

Paranoia
In which I think I'm not that confident
A tiny hope that burns into my breath
A bitter smile delights me at the end

[solo: Migliore]

1.19

[Music: Coti Zelati/Lyrics: Scabbia]

Ray of light annoying as a cold breath in the eyes
Water falls down

Lights around are flashing
And in meat a razorblade
Water falls down

Seems to be the day
(I cannot handle this)
Listen to the music in my mind
For a while

Seems to be my hour
My shell has disappeared
Swallow whirls of dust into my mouth

But it's wonderful I know

Hiding all my fear
My nightmare is becoming real
Take a look at me
I'm a loser

Hiding all my crimes and then
Forgetting all my ideas
Take a look at me
I'm a loser

I'm a loser

[solo: Biazzi]

Cold Heritage

[Music: Coti Zelati/Lyrics: Scabbia]

Don't tell me why
I'm so near to commit a crime
When I stay alone here in front of you
(I'm here)

Illusion falls when you're not honest about the way I feel
I know I need only your voice

Saving all my words only for you
Forgive me
Saving all my words only for you
I don't know why

There's a limit to defy
With the vision of the future at my feet
(I'm here)

The night embrace me while
This picture simply blows me away
I feel I'll need only your voice

And I'm lonely here inside of me
Deep inside of me
Believe in the light in me

And I'm lonely here inside of me
Deep inside of me
Reveal the light in me

Saving all my words only for you
Forgive me

And I'm lonely here inside of me
Deep inside of me
Believe in the light in me

And I'm lonely here inside of me
Deep inside of me
I've never
Never felt myself this way before
I don't want to leave you with my fears
If you'll disappear

Believe in the light in me
Saving all my words only for you

Forgive me
Falling on knees only for you
Forgive me
