"This story takes place everyday, around anyone of us and, perhaps, there's a little Italiota plotting inside each living person. Join the Unholy Nation in what could well be fairy tale, yet which, day after day, keeps getting more real."
lyrics
Ladies and gentlemen, please, take a seat
Don’t think of what upsets you out of here
We all know how much society hurts
Forget it all with this rigmarole
Look at your faces, look at your eyes
Looks like you’ve forgotten all but to cry
Learn from the Master, he who ever smiles
Glorify hollowness, aim to be tied!
We’re puppets, no will by our side
An army of boneless warcry
Command us, oh Lord of the flies
We raised you, you’ll erase our minds
It’s so soft to bounce on your brains
Diving into the gain I get through my shallow refrains
Mass of shapeless conscience you are
You belong to the cage you built and I do own the key
Constitutionally part of your daily routine, I dwell
Twisted tunnels leading to a truer fellowship, to tame
Glowing, wearing classy clothing with a stable grin, so fake
Can’t you see I pull the ropes which govern your disease, your pain
The second-born is fairer copy than the first
Perpetual child, you must absolve all of his faults
A sharper mind will lead him where the first one failed
The sharper teeth will better fit his witty fleer
He sucked blood out of his own elder brother’s chest (no regret)
He rose in strength, we’re all awaiting his command (rule our faith)
The blackest suite is wrapping any hope we had (how can you)
We trust in you, like any parents would have done
We’re puppets, no will by our side
An army of boneless warcry
Command us, oh Lord of the flies
We raised you, you’ll erase our minds

from Italiota EP,
released September 10, 2014
Alto sax solo by Mauro Baldassarre, trumpet solo by Sean Lucariello.
supported by 6 fans who also own “Italiota's Journey no. 2”
The lyrics alone are outstanding.
The album doesn't "flow" as good as their latest album Amazingous, but instead offers more experiments and stays even more quirky.
A track like "Teddy Bears" predates what will be A.M.A.Z.I.N.G a few years later.
Really, a must-have for any fan of awesome pop/rock/exerimental stuff. Chris <(")
