TESTI - WIND OF TOMORROW

VOL. IV

BECOME WHAT I’VE BECOME

I was a dreamer once
Before the world turned cold
I painted skies in silence
With stories never told

I used to feel everything
Like fire in my veins
Now I wear this armor
To hide away the pain

They see a man of iron
A shadow carved in stone
But behind these eyes of steel
I was never really gone

I buried all my softness
Deep where no one goes
Locked it in the darkness
Where only silence grows

I can feel it calling
From somewhere deep inside
A part I left behind me
The one I had to hide
But I won’t let it save me
I’ve gone too far to run
So I stay here in the darkness
And become what I’ve become

Still I feel it burning
A light I can’t outrun
A fragile piece of something
I was never meant to touch

I see it right beside me
But I turn my eyes away
I know it could save me
But I was made this way

You see no hesitation
No fear inside my eyes
But you don’t see the wreckage
Of everything I hide
I built this cold reflection
To bury who I was
But every silent moment
Reminds me what it cost

HEART OF THE DRAGON

In the silence fire’s still burning
A spark beneath the skin
It’s not fear or pain
It’s the call to rise again

He walks alone through fallen lands
The fire still lives inside
Every scar every broken chain
Are signs that he survived

He seeks no mercy no fame
His fate is his to claim

Heart of the dragon’s in him
The flame reveals his truth inside
He will never bow again
He’s the fire
He’s alive

He’s seen the world fall to pieces
He’s felt the cold of pity’s eyes
Each voice that tried to break him
Fades in the darkness of time

Born again within the pain
His fear turns into flame

Heart of the dragon’s in him
The flame reveals his truth inside
He will never bow again
He’s the fire
He’s alive

From the ashes he takes his name
Steel singing through his veins
The dragon breathes inside his soul
And the world will shake when he roars

Heart of the dragon’s in him
A light that never dies
Every tear becomes a flame
And his soul will rise so high

And when the silence falls again
His heart keeps on burning
Through the wind through time
Will live the Heart of the Dragon

I’M ALONE IN THE CROWD

I’m lost in a million faces
Still feel invisible here
All the laughter can’t erase this
Can’t wash away my fear

I keep on searching for a sign
Someone who reads between the lines

I’m alone in the crowd tonight
Lost beneath the city light
Shadows follow everywhere I go
But no one seems to know
I’m alone in the crowd tonight
Holding on with all my might
In the silence of my mind
I just need someone to find

Every message fades to echoes
Every screen just friends awhile
Still I wait for deeper feelings
Something real to make me smile

I keep on searching for a sign
Someone who reads between the lines

Maybe tomorrow I’ll break free
Find the place I’m meant to be
Even in the dark I’ll shine
This lonely heart still beats alive

MAYBE ONE DAY

I’ve seen the walls fall I’ve watched love fade
Pictures in dust the memories we made
The voices of laughter now lost in the sky
But I still feel their hearts beating in mine

In all this silence I learn to stay
Building a world to keep pain away

Maybe one day I’ll see them again
In the morning light or the touch of the rain

Maybe one day I’ll learn to fly
Without the fear of saying goodbye

Families broken dreams torn apart
Stitches of sorrow around my heart
Moments of peace just drift through the grey
I try to hold them before they fade away

The world feels heavy but I still fight
Holding to fragments of fading light

Maybe one day I’ll see them again
In the morning light or the touch of the rain
Maybe one day I’ll learn to fly
Without the fear of saying goodbye

If love never dies they’re still near
Whispering words I long to hear

Maybe one day I’ll find my way
Through the darkness into the day
Maybe one day I’ll smile again
For all I’ve lost for all I’ve been

NO GOD NO MAN

The sky is screaming silence breaks
The clouds descend the daylight shakes
A flash of fire splits the ground
The oceans rise without a sound
The cities tremble rivers fall
Dust and ashes cover all
Every prayer returns in vain
Every voice is drowned in rain

No God no man can stand so tall
When nature answers for it all

No God no man can stop her glory
It’s the war of the Earth’s own story
From the cracks the fire grows
From the ashes her crown glows
Till the world can breathe again
Till it’s born once more in flame

Lava bleeding rain and salt
The sky laments our every fault
The trees are crying stones confess
The mountains bow in their distress
Man keeps running with no place
The Earth erases every trace
Hands of steel and hearts so vain
Can’t find mercy can’t remain

No God no man can stand so tall
When nature answers for it all

OUR HANDS REMAIN

Late at night I came back home
Shadows breathing in the dark
You were sleeping on my chest
Tiny heartbeat quiet spark
I held your face so carefully
Afraid to wake your fragile dreams
In your breath I found my world
More than words could ever mean

I gave you all the warmth I had
To keep you safe inside my arms

On the wall our hands remain
Our hands remain
Painted echoes of our souls
Stronger than the years and pain
Mine so strong and yours so small
Frozen where the time once flowed
A piece of us will never fade
It lives in every tear I hold

Now you’re growing time moves on
But I’m still standing in that place
Every smile you give to me
Lights a fire I can’t erase
When you speak I lose myself
Lost inside your shining light
You’re the beauty of this world
You’re the reason I still fight

Don’t you ever lose that light
Carry it through every storm

On the wall our hands remain
Our hands remain
Painted echoes of our souls
Stronger than the years and pain
Mine still reaching out for you
Even as you let me go
A piece of us will never fade
It lives in every tear I hold

Hold on to your light
Don’t let it fade
When darkness calls don’t be afraid
Even when I’m far away
I’m the voice you’ll hear inside
I still feel your little hand in mine

On the wall our hands remain
Our hands remain
Stronger than the weight of time
Echoes written in my soul
And wherever life will lead
You will never walk alone
You were always
You were always
My home

REBEL RHYMES

In the dark I feel the weight of chains unseen
Rebel ink writes the truth in shades of green
The system laughs from towers cold and tall
But my words will make the mighty fall

The wind will carry all their lies away
Shadows whisper what I dare to say
Before the dawn before the world turns round
I’ll write the truth that shakes the ground

Rebel rhymes in the silent night
Burning pages shining bright
Nothing left to make me stop
This fire grows drop by drop

Faceless guards with laws carved in red
Corruption feeds on every breath
But through the dark my pen still glows
Writing truths that no one knows

The wind will carry all their lies away
Shadows whisper what I dare to say
Before the dawn before the world turns round
I’ll write the truth that shakes the ground

Rebel rhymes in the silent night
Burning pages shining bright
Nothing left to make me stop
This fire grows drop by drop

RUN WITH ME

The night is calling under the lights
Nobody left out we stand to fight
Eyes in the dark streets cold and wide
We keep on running straight to the sky

Hands in the air feel the sound
Our time is now we shake the ground

Run with me never turn away
Fire inside grows day by day
Raise up your voice loud and clear
This is who we are we’ll never disappear
Oh oh oh this is who we are

Shoulder to shoulder side by side
Every fall we rise with warrior pride
The wind is pushing hearts beat loud
Our strength breaks walls we shake the clouds

Hands in the air feel the sound
Our time is now we shake the ground

Run with me never turn away
Fire inside grows day by day
Raise up your voice loud and clear
This is who we are we’ll never disappear
Oh-oh-oh this is who we are

One for all and all as one
We scream it louder till the dawn
The sky burns bright the world will see
Our flame won’t fade we stand so free

Run with me never turn away
Fire inside grows day by day
Raise up your voice loud and clear
This is who we are we’ll never disappear
Oh oh oh this is who we are

Run with me never turn away
Fire inside grows day by day
Raise up your voice loud and clear
This is who we are we’ll never disappear
Oh-oh-oh this is who we are

SHADOWS IN MY MIND

I was raised in rooms of silence
Cold as steel and twice as blind
Every dream fell through my fingers
Every scar carved deep inside

I learned too young not to feel
Walked through fire forgot what’s real
Every wound just made me harder
Every tear became my seal

Shadows in my mind
Fire in my chest a broken child
A soul possessed
No forgiveness
No alibi
Just the road that leads me to my crime

I’ve seen the world just laugh in my face
While I was drowning in my pain
I made a friend out of the darkness
He’s the only one that stayed

I saw my reflection lying
And I stopped asking for grace
I crossed that thin forbidden line
Where a man becomes abandon

Shadows in my mind
Fire in my chest a broken child
A soul possessed
No forgiveness
No alibi
Just the road that leads me to my crime

Every stare’s a sentence spoken
Every breath a final blow
These hands carry what can’t be broken
The weight of all
I’ll never show

Behind the bars I count the ceiling
Not the time not the healing
And in the dark I hear that child
Whisper softly
It’s not denied
Shadows in my mind they never die

THE DEVIL’S BREATH

Some sell their soul for a golden throne
Some smile inside the dark unknown
In shining cities built on lies
Every sin has a place to hide

The Devil’s breath is close and near
It smells like gold not hate or fear

Breathe it slow don’t let it in
It swears you heaven then burns your skin
The Devil’s breath won’t scream or shout
It whispers softly till your light goes out

I felt it crawling across my skin
Sweet and silent like deadly sin
It looks like truth
It feels like grace
But steals the soul you can’t replace

The Devil’s breath will call your name
An angel’s voice that hides the flame

Breathe it slow don’t let it in
It swears you freedom
Then locks you in
The Devil’s breath keeps souls confined
In burning hearts and empty minds

It’s not hell it’s not desire
Just one more dream inside the fire
The echo breaks the lies decay
As man becomes what he betrayed

Breathe again if you dare to fall
But who’s reborn won’t fear at all
The Devil’s breath fades in the end
When hearts remember how to mend

WHEN THE RIVERS RISE

The rivers rise
The sky turns gray
The earth remembers what we made
We built our kingdoms
Reaching high
But now the heavens start to cry

We took the fire
We took the land
Now we drown
In our own hands

When the rivers rise
No one will pray
We sold the sun and gave the rain away
All our empires
Built on sand
Will fall to dust
Return to land

We burned the fields
We stole the air
Called it progress never cared
The cities shine
But souls decay
While nature takes it all away

You can’t buy peace
You can’t own time
The storm will wash away our crimes

When the rivers rise
No one will pray
We sold the sun and gave the rain away
All our empires
Built on sand
Will fall to dust return to land

The oceans speak
The mountains cry
The wind remembers every lie

When the rivers rise
We fade like flames
No more power
No more names
The world will breathe
The earth will sing
Without the cage of everything

The rivers rise
The silence stays
And nature finds
Her ancient ways

WIND OF TOMORROW

I’m walking slowly through the people
Their eyes are down they’ve lost the view

A dream’s too costly for the moment
So they just live the way they do

In glass reflections of the towers
The emptiness comes back again

Some count their pennies in their hearts
While others rule with just a pen

And blows the wind of tomorrow
Through the weak and through the strong
Takes our hands but not our sorrow
While the power carries on
There’s a silence in the city
No one dares to turn it on

Time keeps running under taxes
And dreams are hanging by a thread

A smile’s too pricey for the moment
But tears are free the poor man said

Some work for two lives just surviving
While others never move at all

The wind still carries all the voices
Of those who rise and never fall

And in the nights without a moonlight
Where the sky’s a movie blue

We’re left alone among the shadows
With hope still hiding too

And blows the wind of tomorrow
Through the hearts that still believe
Takes away the lies we borrowed
But the people never leave
Through the lights
And through the windows
Someone still will dream

Let the strat cry under the moonlight
One last bend before it fades away
The wind keeps singing through the city
Chasing dreams we couldn’t stay
