NIGHT PURSUIT
Words by Francesco Rizzi, Music by Danny Plourde & F. Rizzi
As darklight’s getting closer
Feel the hunger coming over
And it whets my appetite
I need a prey right here to bite
And it’s alright, it happens every night
And though i try there’s nothing i can do about it
(It happens every night), i don’t know if it’s wrong
(Can’t tell wrong from right), i don’t know if i’m right
(It happens every night), get ready and i go, i go
(Ready for the go), well dressed to kill and i start the hunt
Going for the night life, spin the wheel now
Looking for the red light, and i know how
Going for the lush life, roll the dice now
This is where it all starts and where it never ends
All at once i taste the smell of you
You are in my sights and there is nothing you can do
I will free the animal, and you’re right about to fall
Because i’m insatiable, won’t be over ‘till it’s over
I’m ready for a night pursuit, a hunter, a hunted
I’m ready for the night pursuit,
A hunter and a hunted, a hunter and a hunted
You and my night pursuit and i feel alive
You won’t get respite, i’ll be sneering ‘bout you
Run, run for your life, run, i run for mine
Smell, sweat, you can bet, well the hunt’s not over yet
You can try to run away, i will catch you anyway
Running just a waste of time, i will get you, you’ll be mine
This is what i want, it’s what i need
It’s what i live for, you know

DARKEST HOUR
Words by Francesco Rizzi, Music by Danny Plourde & F. Rizzi
The TV news are such a bore
Corruption crimes, echoes of war
I hear they say not in my name
I see them down on their knees
Clenching their fists because black lives matter, they do
Wouldn’t you please explain to me
Where we went wrong
And I can’t change with a song
But I can try
Hold on, deep into the darkest night
Sit and wait a new dawn
Hang on, even in the darkest hour
Try before we turn to stone
Welfare into the hands of few
I hear them say stand in our way
And you’ll see a better future to come
But I know it’s a lie, they lie
Wouldn’t you please explain to me
Where we went wrong
And I won’t change with a song
At least i try…
What can I do about it? (X3)
What can I, what can I do
Hold on, deep into the darkest night
Sit and wait a new dawn
Hang on, even in the darkest hour
Try before we turn to stone
Repeat Chorus

A GAME WE PLAY
Words by Francesco Rizzi, Music by Danny Plourde & F. Rizzi
There is a game we play, we dare to call it life
And we’re all in the melee
This is the game we play, a neverending strife
You know the traitor rules, you win, you lose
Wanna get me out of here so far away now
Take me take me out of here, I’m taking a bow
Get get get me far from here, and I well know how
Take me take me out of here, right now!
I need oblivion and self protection
Get me some booze
Carelessness amounts and huge disaffection
Take me take me out of here
And despite the evil of the world
All the evil of the world
I don’t feel abused, nor even spurned
Gets me high, it gets me high
My discomfort bumper
It gets me high, it gets me high
Feel no rage nor anger

Breakable
Words by Francesco Rizzi, Music by Danny Plourde & F. Rizzi
I’m up, I’m down but i, i really don’t mind
Wake up today and guess what I find
I feel so invincible with or without you, sad it’s not my case
I’m down, I’m up, it’s a question of time
Feel out of tune and words never rhyme
I feel much breakable, with or without you…
I feel out of place, I need more space
To leave a trace, when I’m not here
Now can you find a reason for this these changing moods
I’m glad I’m alive, but I got the blues
And I feel so out of time, slowly paced I feel so calm
All around me people live so fast
Me I need my time to make everything work
Me I need my space, to diluite all the hurting,
And a heart open wide where all demands would easily fill in
Me I need my space to move with carefulness
Me I need my time to think well when it matters
Open arms to the world, golden deeds to last
Repeat Chorus
I’m up, I’m down, but i…. Wish it was my case
Now can you find a meaning for people to be rude
When someone you trust, they often delude
Evil ghouls they come so close,
Are they gonna hurt, who knows
Looking for a place to hide alone
Me I need my time to make everything work
Me I need my space, to diluite all the hurting,
And a heart open wide where all demands would easily fill in
Me I need my space to move with carefulness
Me I need my time to think well when it matters
Open arms to the world golden deeds to last
Repeat Chorus: I’m up, I’m down but i, i really don’t mind ….
-------------------------------------------
I feel out of time, is that a crime if I can’t find my right place here

YOUR LIMIT
Words by Francesco Rizzi, & Music by Danny Plourde & F. Rizzi
You think it’s your strength, but it’s your limit
Oh uoh uoh, uoh oh uoh
You think it’s your strength, but it’s your limit
Don’ you know, don’t you know?
Sensibility and carefulness
Your benevolence and cheerfulness
Much tranquillity and your empathy
Forgiveness, your gentleness
This is not your strength, it is your limit
Oh uoh uoh, your limit
Your indifference, your haughtiness
Lack of moral sense, untruthfulness
Your cupidity and malignity
Enmity and wickedness
This is not your strength, it is your limit
Oh uoh uoh, your limit

PLANET LIMBO
Words by Francesco Rizzi, & Music by Danny Plourde & F. Rizzi
I’m, stuck in this place with no fault
Can’t cross the edge, I can’t go on
Can’t get back
Forever here suspended
There is no salvation, I’m a stranger
And i got no hope
An eternal wait with no expectations
Ruthless comdemnation for a soul
Who’s got no flaw of his own
Lost and forgotten burden
And I am not allowed
To choose the evil or the saint
I’m staying here forever
Living here forever
This is my condition
With no ecstasy nor bliss
This is planet limbo
Nor a full damnation kiss

DANCE CLUB
Words by Francesco Rizzi, & Music by Danny Plourde & F. Rizzi
I’m not a sinner, I’m not a saint
No soul to clean up, maybe to taint
And I well deal with my normality
So I don’t need any flight of fency
When I’m down I need to cheer me up
Then I know I have to reach the dance club
Lost in the rhythm, ain’t no mechanism of defence
A groove interaction, a full satisfaction
An endless enjoyment of the dance
Live for the moment, don’t go astray
I keep any worries well down at bay
I don’t follow any unlikely pretence
Don’t run after Holy Grails with no sense
When I’m down I need to cheer me up
Then I go for a night at the dance club
Lost in the rhythm, ain’t no mechanism of defence
A groove interaction, a full satisfaction
An endless enjoyment of the dance
Lost in the rhythm, ain’t no mechanism of defence
A groove interaction, plain satisfaction
A full liberation from the fence

BRAIN CONDITIONING
Words by Francesco Rizzi, Music by Danny Plourde & F. Rizzi
From across the nation
Spreading to the world
Call it the new bondage
Mind conditioning for all
From across the nation
Spreading to the world
Call it the new bondage
Mind conditioning for all
And I hang in there and i wonder…
Is it worth the prize
And I hang in there, is it worth the prize
Manipulation, mind control
Brain conditioning, i’m caught in the undertow
Manipulation, mind control
Brain conditioning, i’m caught in the undertow
Thinking, fight the odds, I’m still thinking
Turn down aspiration shrinking
After all I’m still alive
Conditioning, conditioning, conditioning

HIGHWAY
Words by Francesco Rizzi, Music by Danny Plourde & F. Rizzi
Life is like a highway, and you can’t go slow
Don’t let it go, speed it up
If you see things my way, run away from the woe
Never let go, the speed up
Life is like a highway, and you can’t go slow
Never let go, the speed up, the speed up
If you see things my way, run away from the woe now
So fast, go for your best blast
Keep riding so fast, feeling free at last
Straight ahead riding further far
Hold on tight to the handbar
It is you decides to leave, and the prize that can achieve
Can’t go slow, a highway, speed up
Speed rush makes you blind
So you cannot see what you left behind, oh you know
Wrong turn and you’re done, when you’re on the run
Make up with yourself, counting on no one
Riding like the wind, you behind the wheel
And the strange illusion you can win
Riding like the wind, you behind the wheel
And the vain convinction they would let you
Riding like the wind, you behind the wheel
And the strange illusion, the speed up, the speed up
Life is like a highway, speed it up, you can’t go slow
Speed rush, the handbar
And the vain convinction you can dare to
Never let go, the speed up, the speed up

FRIEND OR FOE
Words by Francesco Rizzi, Music by Danny Plourde & F. Rizzi
My interior pain is my only companion and I wonder, I wonder
And still I can’t call him a friend or a foe when
He tells me I’m not six feet under, I just couldn’t say
I got no answers and I carry on with pain
Too much too loud for me to scorn or to detain so long
No need no answers, I just carry on with pain
Day after day now, day after day, feel the pain, feel the pain
This neverending ache, it swallows my senses
I tremble and forsake, and pay consequences
A neverending ache cracks your will, it is so hard to take
You think it is unbearable
Say no when I was able to become an anaesthetic machine
Rely on my own endorphins
And as I turn around I see too many individuals like me
It’s a flash in the night, it’s the dark after light
It’s a nuisance, it’s a bother
I’m broke but I’m repairable
And proudly uncomparable
I play with the runts, it’s just for the nonce

HORDIES
Words by Francesco Rizzi, & Music by Danny Plourde & F. Rizzi
I hide from the sun, won’t let no one outrage the shelter I bless
I keep in the dark far from the insolence, and far from scorfunelness
‘Cause I see it their eyes where the anger never dies
Hordes are now gathering ‘round my place
Specimens all coming from some new race
Hordes, some new race
And they sprawl, and they sprawl
To uphold each other they all come, hordes, hordes
They all come togheter uncontrolled, and it’s such a load
Hordes are now gathering out my door
They have had already but want some/much more
Hordes won’t get enough
They all come together
Hordes won’t get enough, together, together, want much more
And they sprawl
They want more
The horde is out there, they hunt me
Hold them back, hold them back hard
‘Cause I see it their eyes where the anger never dies
Uncontrolled and it’s such a load
Hordes of badass bullies, they don’t seem to like me, to like me
I don’t even know them but they seem to hate me, to hate me

TOXIC
Words by Francesco Rizzi, Music by Danny Plourde & F. Rizzi
Give it up, she will quit your sanity
She will keep you wrapped up in chains
Give it up, she will quit your liberty, quit it now, this is all in vain
She’s an addiction, she will let you down
Her love is toxic, in dependence you’ll drown
Ooh I know, much more than you can guess
I know, i know what she’s doing to me
Nevertheless there is nothing that i can do, i keep on falling
Give it up, she will quit your sanity
She will keep you wrapped up in chains
Give it up, she will quit your liberty, quit it now, this is all in vain
Toxic, she’s toxic
Should say no but i don’t care about it (X2)
She’s all i want, i don’t care about it
She’s all i need, i don’t care, i don’t care
Feel her in my veins lifting me up
Infiltrating deeply and i’m thumped (she’s all I want, all I need)
One more time i surrender, one more time, once more
One more time i surrender, one more time i surrender, surrender
I can feel her, every time she moves me, i can feel her, everytime (X 2)
I wanna try it all over, i wanna feel it all over, all over now
Try not to fall into troubles, try that, try on
She’ll put you in too much troubles, know that, know that
I wanna try it all over, i wanna feel it all over, all over now
She lowers all of my senses and breathing down
I don’t know what i’m gonna do but i can’t get enough
She’s my relief from my pain and my consolation
I don’t know what i’m gonna do but i can’t get enough
Intentions are to move apart, a self-concern, a brand new start (X 2)
Feel her in my veins lifting me up, everytime she moves me
Infiltrating deeply and i’m thumped, everytime
She’s all I want, she’s toxic
She’s an addiction, she will let you down
Her love is toxic, in dependence you’ll drown
