NOVA (EpsyloN)
It all began as a teen
And I started playing guitar
Through the sky of my brain
These melodies popped up like stars
Was it Death? Was it Black?
I didn't set for one style
"I guess I will just play
whatever the fuck I want"
Gothic?
Symphonic?
Power?
Progressive?
Why not all of them?
Watch it hatching
My new son
A new Sun
A new song
"They should sound like
That band Nightwish
She should sing like
Sonya Scarlet
We always need to classify
And force our labels
On all these new starlets"
Listen kid
I wrote these as I pleased
To make happy
no other than me
Watch me write this
With a Hammond!
Chorus:
Will these songs ever see the light of day?
I've never been this sad
EpsyloN you're this dream of mine
Fall and rise
But never die
Will we ever play songs live again?
If not I'd be so bad
EpsyloN's what I cling on to in life
Fall and rise
But never die
Now that I'm leaving
The whole thing is in danger
I promise I'll be back
Don't be a stranger
Now that I'm back
This shit's so hard
No love for bards
My dream is ending
Before I even tried
My dream is ending
I can’t just let it die
This time I'll get it right
This time I'll fight
I wrote songs about manga
Or about history
I wrote even for assholes
Who don't deserve to breathe
So I'm reusing this riff
To say "FUCK YOU PRICK!"
Chorus:
Will these songs ever see the light of day?
I've never been this sad
EpsyloN you're this dream of mine
Fall and rise
But never die
Chorus:
Will these songs ever see the light of day?
I've never been this sad
EpsyloN you're this dream of mine
Fall and rise
But never die
Will we ever play songs live again?
If not I'd be so bad
EpsyloN's what I cling on to in life
Fall and rise
But never die

I F.L.Y 2
Free for a change of seasons
I have my reasons
Not sure if we should
Pain is at the end
Black and white
Dark and bright
How to combine two different poles
Two different worlds
Assured collision
Shy phone calls and translations
That's how I heard it for the first time:
Chorus:
And I F.L.Y. tonight
And I will until we die
Everything's fine by your side
I F.L.Y.
One kiss
It's all like a dream
Ten days so charming
Their end distress me
Will we meet again?
Truth and lies
Seer and blind
We roam the streets of the unknown
A city full of contradictions
God, I know this won't work
and I won't let this chance pass by
Chorus:
'Cause I F.L.Y. tonight
And I will until we die
Everything's fine by your side
I F.L.Y.
Chorus:
And I F.L.Y. tonight
And I will until we die
Everything's fine by your side
And I... And I F.L.Y. tonight
And I will until we die
I will survive if you are mine
I F.L.Y.
I Fucking L. Y. too...

DREAMS FALLING
Is this New Tomorrow?
It does not quite feel or look
like I thought it would by now
This is all I wanted
And still I cannot stop this feeling
of being a failure somehow
I thought I had something
That I was getting somewhere
Just a matter of when
‘Cause I knew the how
Now I see it crumbling
As it slips right through my hands
Taken over by thoughts
Of giving up
Chorus:
All dreams are falling apart
I want to keep them together
For some more time
All good things in my life
Are eventually pushed away
By me 'til they go bye-bye
EpsyloN is fading-out
And seems like I am going to
Let it die without even trying
This void is demanding
Never ending hunger
Always dissatisfied
No matter what
If there's a single chance
Of ruining what I have built
Be sure I'll find a way
To fuck it up
Chorus:
All dreams are falling apart
I want to keep them together
For some more time
More time

UNSPECIAL
You’re unspecial, oh yeah
Just like the others are as well
Drop the weights
That’s right, you’re not perfect
Is there something wrong with me?
WHAT DID GO WRONG?
I did all the things I thought needed to be done
I don’t like the way things are
CAN’T MAKE IT STOP!
I guess I just should not give a shit anymore
This harsh truth hurts
making all thoughts
race in my head
Why did I think this way?
I’m some sheep
in wolf skin
A full time fake
Chorus:
You’re unspecial, oh yeah
Just like the others are as well
Drop the weights
That’s right, you’re not perfect
You’re unspecial, oh yeah
Not worse nor better than the rest
We’re the same, don’t care for what they expect
You don’t like the things I do?
“Play? Sing? Write? Draw?”
Doesn’t mean you can ruin them for me
SO FUCK YOU
Fifth stage of grief
What a relief
Acceptance reigns
Nothing great about my brain
Mediocre
A joker
That’s my terrain
Chorus:
You’re unspecial, oh yeah
Just like the others are as well
Drop the weights
That’s right, you’re not perfect
You’re unspecial, oh yeah
Not worse nor better than the rest
We’re the same, don’t care for what they expect
That’s right! You’re not perfect!
Don’t care for what they expect!
Don’t you care for what they expect!
Don’t you care for what they expect!

MATTER
Think of us as single small atoms
Attracted and repulsed bits: electrons
and protons
So how come all these things just
Don't fall apart?
Somehow we manage to remain whole
Whole...
How did these atoms
come from so far?
Each was made in very different stars
Then this crushing gravity starts
to fuse us and
Chorus:
I can’t believe what I’m seeing
This can’t be right
I was a fool
Time after time
Why would you give me
Chance after chance
It doesn’t make sense
And I let my hurt self
Fall down your odds
Here’s my New Tomorrow
Cleansing my sorrows
Things fall into place
I'm no longer just star fuel
I transcended hydrogen
Helium, lithium, nitrogen...
An organic polycule
An elemental hard-on
We form life as we gather
Far more than just some hadrons
I'm Father
I'm Mother
Once highly energized photons
Massless, went ever-further
God's touch, enter Higgs Boson
I'm matter
I matter
"E is equal to M by C squared"
"E is equal to M by C squared"
Hard to believe I deserve this life
Is it all just chemistry? 'Cause...
Chorus:
I can’t believe what I’m seeing
This can’t be right
I was a fool
Time after time
Why would you give me
Chance after chance
It doesn’t make sense
And I let my hurt self
Fall down your odds
Here’s my New Tomorrow
Cleansing my sorrows
Things fall into place
Oh... As I’m becoming matter
Unscattered and whole
Nucleosynthesis
We fuse to become Some One
I’m No One no more
My New Tomorrow’s here

SUN
Every time you receive me
Seems like the very first day
Dressed in colored fur
And just as I open the door
I find love
like dreams tell us it should be
You got it forevermore
Chorus:
Now it is Sunday
We're playing in the garden
Laughing and smiling
The past has come to an end
You’re like the Sun
bringing light rays every morning
I'd go to Mars for you
By your side I will be
Someone...
I know you'd never leave me
So I let you lead the way
Along the riverside
I look into your eyes
And I find this life
Like dreams tell us it should be
That never ends
Like fantasies made true, yes
All the grief and this pain
are no more here
You erase them
Cleansing me
Chorus:
Now it is Sunday
We're playing in the garden
Laughing and smiling
The past has come to an end
You’re like the Sun
brings light rays every morning
I'd go to Mars for you
By your side I will be
Someone...

THE LAST WALTZ
What was the date we started this Ball?
I can't remember
Most things are blurred or not there at all
But you won't surrender
There I go
Not alone nor on my own
But I don't think I can do this
Anymore
Chorus:
Please hold my hand once again
'cause I know that
I'm draining away
So let's dance the last waltz
Grief in my head
Tears like rain
I can't hold them
You're fading away
So let's dance the last waltz
I'm in the hands of this mind-theft
Broken-in, plundered
I'm holding to the few things left
That are still there
And in those thoughts
we are still young
Blessed in the love we had
I wonder what more could I've done for you
I wonder what have I done in life
Words never said
Words I wanted you to hear
Words I wanted to say
There I go
All alone
On my own
Then it sinks... It’s the end
of us
Forevermore
Chorus:
Please hold my hand once again
'cause I know that
I'm draining away
So let's dance the last waltz
Grief in my head
Tears like rain
I can't hold them
You're fading away
So let's dance the last waltz
The last remains of what I was
float in the darkness
An empty shell without a cause
I beg you, make it stop
"And as the power turns off everything is emptiness
There is no tunnel, no light
It feels like the vastness of space that I
gazed as a child"
So I rise to the sky
Like a star...
This is how I die...

TESTAMENT: FOR THE DYING EARTH
"If you read these words
It means that I've already left this world
A place I can't recognize"
"And I leave behind
nothing but tears and ash
A waste of time... A waste of time...
To live
To die
To make this Earth a living hell
and still much less than what you'll find"
"That's the way of mankind
We take and take even when we die"
"Our Mother is dying
Oceans drowning in the filth
and trash we dump
A climate crisis
And we did nothing wondering
how much it'd cost"
"Hate and fascism
Rising as the ignorant
didn't care at all
We were selfish
when we needed to take care
of each other most"
"The 1% owns and hoards almost a half
of all there is
with our consent
When we should be
rolling their heads down the street
But all we do is to just look away
So the blame is in our hands
I... I...
I was just as guilty as the rest"
"And you?
What will you do while the Earth needs your help?
Will you listen to this song and do nothing
Nothing more?"
Chorus:
"Will the Sun shine there?
Will life be a nightmare?
Or will our children smile again?
Will you hear this, my song?
Last song, last chance to save the world
For the dying Earth"
"The seas are lost
The trees are gone
The animals won't exist for long
The world we know was built with blood
of those who can't dream of a home
Those cool shirts of your band
Sure made by little children hands
As were the shoes you wear
How can we sleep?
How can we eat?
How can we live when not far from here
Less than three hours by plane
our neighbors live in hell?
And then commotion
when they cross the ocean
in a quest for hope
A deadly road
They're risking their lives
Their children's and their wives'
We really deserve
to be punished for our crimes
one of these days"
Chorus:
"Will the Sun shine there?
Will life be a nightmare?
Or will our children smile again?
Will you hear this, my song?
Last song, last chance to save the world
For the dying Earth
Lovely Earth"
Guitar solo: Feat. Darío Peña
Chorus:
"Will the Sun shine there?
Will life be a nightmare?
Or will our children smile again?
Will you hear this, my song?
Last song, last chance to save the world
For the dying Earth"
"No One at birth
And I was still No One at the end
This is my last will:
Feed my body to the Earth"
As No One lived
No One sang
No One whined
No One died
Now you're free
Rest in peace
Because this is the end of
The Story of No One
