ALCYONE
(Words and Music by Perry Frank)
Once I was afraid to be dead
and she came in thru my days
All of those words that I've read
Never told me how not to be scared
She came in thru the desert sands
Just like sunlight to warm my cold hands
Shining darkness in her eyes
Once I was afraid to be mad
A little flower that grows so sad
Lost in the passing of time
Never thought how to complete this rhyme
She loves the songs I can sing
She told me how not to be afraid of the death
Like a breeze slowly blowing in spring
She came in thru the desert sands
I'm not afraid when she holds my cold hands
While darkness paints my lands

CANTU A MERI'
(Lyrics by Giovanni Marco Pruna - Music by Perry Frank)
Perdia ca e' stiddu
arrumbulada a basciu,
d'asta crettiu mai
ca donara spantu?
Mi sighidi s'umbra
'e unu dolori antigu,
arrogu de scuriu,
corteddara a fillu.
E tottus fillus seus
de mamma atzura
chi zerriat, prangit, pappat
chenza de misura
Aicci castiu a fora
sa pregunta e' "cumment'e'
ca s'arruga aundi seu nasciu
cangiada prus 'e me'?"
Si purdiat sa funi
de bentu de Istiu,
da lassu calai a mari
po s'istrada 'e su riu.
ITALIAN TRANSLATION:
Persa come goccia,
rotolata giù,
l'avresti mai creduto
che ti avrebbe meravigliato?
Mi segue l'ombra
di un dolore antico,
pezzo di buio,
coltellata ad un figlio.
E siamo tutti figli
di una madre sfrontata
che urla, piange, mangia
senza limite.
Così guardo altrove,
la domanda è "com'è
che la strada in cui sono nato
cambia più di me"
Marcisce la fune
di vento dell'Estate,
la lascio scivolare verso il mare
per la strada del fiume.

THE BALLAD OF THE REFUGEE
(Words and Music by Perry Frank)
I came across an empty ocean
to look for another life
I came across a burning ocean
floating for my own life
I see a land of burning crosses and I don't mind
I feel a land of darkness on my restless mind
I pray to see sunlight
We came across a lonely desert
because we need our lives
Hunger, death and destruction
inside my burning eyes
I feel like I'm drowning in the dark and I don't mind
I see a thousand souls and pray that you're not blind
I scream for my own light
I feel like I'm drowning in the dark and I don't mind
I see a thousand souls and pray that you're not blind
I scream for my own light

FARAWAY ACROSS THE SEA
(Words and Music by Perry Frank)
There's nothing I'm sure of, nothing to feel
All my memories are fading in a whirlpool of steel
Faraway across the sea
I will find a place to be
Take a walk thru the alleys of a cold misty night
Fly away in a dream of darkness and light
Faraway across the sea
I will find a place to be
All the winds are blowing, all the tears must be paid
Try to paint on the silence of the words left unsaid
Faraway across the sea
I will find a place to be
