Tale from Nowhere Lyrics


It was a full moon night

one of those night that might go on forever.

The mist was dancing on the stone floor

of the strange medieval square

a silent wind entangled through the archways

was ringing with the sound of distant steps.

A minute or a century later

the man was in the middle of the space.

It was a special night

the strangest night from now until forever...

Then a cloud concealed the moon

and when the sky was lit again

the Mad Jester in a hood

stood beside the roving man

and though his eyes were shining

the man took on step back

because his lips were smiling

of a smile that chills to death.

[Jester]

"i was waiting for you

for it's time to begin

we've got something to do

I guess you know what I mean"

[Man]

"Why should I listen

to the idle things you say?

Tell me one only reason

or get out of my way!"

[Jester]

"It's written in your name

It's screaming from your voice:

You were born to play the Game

D'you still think you have a choice?"

So the man stood up in silence

while the jester took a band

then He wrapped it on his eyes and

put a gun in his hand.

[Jester]

"Within a century by now

I'll throw a coin in the air

from somewhere hereabout

you have to venture when and where.

It's the coin of Good and Evil

It's the Guardian of the Dreams

If you get it with your one shot

you'll be free"

The man was left alone

within his darkest world

and soon the deafening silence

was broken by a crowd

They crawled against his feet

they swarmed around his body

and all of them were blindfold

and covered with a shroud

"On your own you have no hope:

Give the weapon to your Pope!"

"Listen to a Nobel Prince:

I can do it with closed eyes!"

"I'm your favourite politician

don't you shoot without permission!"

"Need an expert? here I am

I'm a military man!"

The square was full of voices

and faces of undead

a hundred million noises

resounded in his head...

[Man]

"go away!Stay far from me!

You don't even let me be!"

Many years have passed by then

an still the night goes on

The full moon shines above the man

reflected in his gun

One day the man will break the spell

one day the man will see

that when he claimed to be himself

and when he strained to be himself

and when he chose to be himself

he was already free.
