Movement! Velocity! Bright colors! Broken bottles, and burned lamps Seriality, mesmerism White eyes on the planet Earth The shelves in the supermarket crumble on the unaware consumer The rolls scream on the floor of the shopping centre Sonja uncaps a beer with her teeth And speaks the language of fire!

Fernsehturm 04:54
Thougths that don’t pass throught that get entangled between the veins and they blacken my blood with uncertainty like a kiss with open eyes. And the look behind your back forgotten in a segment of motionless sky. The horizon’s line is a razor blade. Adieu, a look’s meeting, sipping this wine that comes down from our eyes. From the jacket I extract a stylet. And I elbow my one’s way through the crowd. The top of the tower is warped up in the clouds, the palls that hide the end of the story... will, maybe, be the end of the world, if everything falls down like a wall of memories?

Fists in my pockets Vaquity inside of me I’m trembling with anger and I’m thinking about the sutured stitches that you bear Bitter cigarettes Claws on my lips Restlessly I drink from my cut wrists Fellows! Be careful to the coils of the blak worm crawling into the city! The smoke escaping from the winter’s mouth The dirty snow The streets in town The tracks in the mud The bites of cold The distant lights The fylfots. We are the burnt walls of a squat. We are… The wind lashes this city A long good-bye will mark us The wind lashes my city The dense rain will go down Concrete repression signals It’s the time to love with hearts uprooted from the chest

Tight ropes ‘round the thin wrists, she’s naked and she‘s chained on the revolving door of a big store. Long eyelashes, slobbered lipstick, the torture of the wheel like a glamorous Christ for absent-minded people in the crowded centre of the city. Stench of gin, shattered shop-windows out of the fashion night-clubs you have a knife in the hands! Stiletto heels, your cheeks are slashed by a cutting blow of bottle, now everything grows clear like a page of the bible. Your are alone in the palm of the hand, you’re under the fire of thousand guns.

Prisoners in labyrinths of iron and gears She has something unexpected in her eyes Cog-wheels as supreme divinities She has concealed her heart in the curls of the crowd... ...That can’t grasp her secret (password: sabotage!) and that doesn’t see who is trembling in the shadow… Hurry up! Darkness creatures, the new day is arriving! You, who are still alive in the sign of the chaos, like a virus in the darkness You, who are still alive, like an uncodified edge, proud residue of the disciplining practice. Among defenceless bodies trained by the discipline Face the look of a thousand gaolers! Fighting the power by the force of numbers Carving by flowers an epitaph for their world… She can’t reveal her secret She can’t confess her guilt The future needs an indomitable look without hesitation. You, revolutionary nucleuses in a restoration age! You, black holes of the system’s self-consciousness! You, sworn enemies of every established order! History travels with you!

Police! Police! Behind a dull prism, judge and coscience of never committed crimes. Eyes without orbits, uncovered nerves, opaque audience at a surrealist theatre, we dance the rythm of the Power. In the metropolis under video-sorveillance the night drops and the life runs away, transparent like the glass. Prisons without bars, figures in perpetual purgatory. God has new eyes!

E.L.F. 07:51
Before the shadow drove away the sun and the wolves came out from their rock houses, the king rode in the ancient forest. Ready to fight, with the fist closed, when the wind rose murmuring to the stars… “We are the lords of this earth Now the putrified sovereigns nourish our ancient roots”. From the ground trampled on among the nuclear slags and the memory of the heroes a clot of fear emerged, a dark skeleton was sibilating the words of a gloomy litany… “We are the lords of this earth Now the putrified sovereigns nourish our ancient roots”. Scene two: the rhythm of the industrial machines is a drum that marks the eternal cyclic scanning… and women and men dance frightened and motionless along the ridges of the time…) The blood-stained sun died in the sea making way for the night! The moon rose like a neon skull and the trees looked like ghosts under its beam! “We are the lords of this earth Now the putrified sovereigns nourish our ancient roots”. The king saw that every stump was a body and every branch a dry and bony limb! And those eyes… and those eyes! Fire that burns the soul! “We are the lords of this earth Now the putrified sovereigns nourish our ancient roots”. An echo is swollen with eternal sighs and endless ages, with exiled ghosts by those who usurped the world… And the wind shook the earth’s pillars! A tangle of horror was on him and wrapped the king in a cloth soaked with coagulated blood. Everything was clear… everything was clear! Like a dream in the morning sleep… “We are the lords of this damp and dark earth, before the kings who defined the world and before the queens dressed up with the oxidized gold that lies in the graves and the putrified sovereigns who now nourish our ancient roots”.

Banshee 07:17
Have you ever heard into your deep sleep the rumble of a motor not of this earth? The hands on the handle, her face is a grey skull with tungsten in the frozen orbits. Among the cement tower of the atomic research station, along dark streets towards the silver river hidden among the precipes... ...and in the urn the ashes of a young queen... The old man who watches over the brink of the gorge he shakes the mountain by his clenched fist he has a necklace made by theet and beer can and a dog as black as the pitch. The neon signs of the petrol pump, the blackish outunes of the motels, across the silver river that is hidden among the precipes to throw there the ashes of the young queen...

Poison and distrust shed in handfuls Sadness leaves a bitter taste in the mouths Discouraging words, fists and kicks in the face wring from me sweat and bloody tears. I need neither your certainties nor your existence dominated by egoism! Shining promises with gestures of interest Parables of illusion and certainty A Lord of War on whom we bet the future An utopia of certainty, peace and tranquillity I need neither your certainties nor your existence dominated by egoism! A peace of paper, a hero without future Waiting an unexpected dawn Among these four walls more and more narrow I cultivate my hate towards the system! I need neither your certainties nor your existence dominated by egoism!
