INFO ABOUT THIS RECORD

"2K2" is about the concept of travelling through time starting with the year 2002 and going back through the ages, meadering across its confines. It contains a great deal of references taken from sci-fi literature. Particularly Robert Silverberg's "Up The Line" ( travels in Egypt from the song "Heretic" ), Robert Sawyer's "Flashforward", Isaac Asimov's "The End Of Eternity" and H.G Wells "The Time Machine".
This new CD includes the cover version of "Odissea Veneziana" by Rondo' Veneziano. Rondo' Veneziano was a successful italian band of the 80's that fused classical musical influences of the 18th. century (another stage of time travelling...) together with modern elements (drums, bass guitar and synth). On "2K2" it has been redone by EXAWATT in their own distinctive style which can be described as power progressive metal.

EXAWATT "2K2" LYRICS

ON THE WINGS

My sighs, they ring to me
victorious
and all seems so far away

the walks, so close we talked
forget about those days
i can't take them anymore

Please tell me you're just feeling tired
if it's more than that I feel
(that I might) break out of touch and out of time, and out of time

find my time but I will not revive,
sooner or later, this life
all my dreams, since the ancient times


find my time but I will not revive,
sooner or later, this life
take my hands, on the wings of time

The frightening facts we've been facing (our) backs for so long
now are begging for eyes to bear witness to lies...

We are saying aloud
the things we have declared
(i'd) die to be there today

I wear my army coat
that's all i own
those were our better days

Please tell me you're just feeling tired
if it's more than that I feel
(that I might) break out of touch and out of time, and out of time

find my time but I will not revive,
sooner or later, this life
all my dreams, since the ancient times

find my time but I will not revive,
sooner or later, this life
take my hands, on the wings of time

HERETIC

Standing on his throne
Pharao Akhenaton
Sun now is rising in the sky

Amon priests defeat
Sacred images
Of a heretic they represent

They’ ll try to put me out of sight
I’ve got my time, they’ ll never win

Cult of the sun he brings
Against the same old kings
A sick man proud of history

All the time will see
What it used to be
Monotheistic religion down the Nile

They’ ll try to put me out of sight
I’ve got my time, they’ ll never win

They have scarred my face !

And he feels the struggle
Down to the ground
And he lives his life alone

AWAKE IN THE COSMIC DREAM

Life goes on
under this cosmic light
life forever gone
under these satellites

your grey eyes
under this winter moon
your pale face
we'll be better then... yeah..

and, if we turning back again
time is like a river flowing,
flowing downhill

and, if we loose our time again
call me every time you need
I would be there

tell me at least just one word
unless signals that are mixed
cause I can't read your rolling eyes

and, if we turning back again
time is like a river flowing,
flowing downhill

and, if we loose our time again
call me every time you need
I would be there

tell me at least just one word
unless signals that are mixed
cause I can't read your rolling eyes

SIGH IN TIME

I can feel the breathing shadows on my past
What I created,
there is nothing anymore

What I see, I cannot find my way, noooo
What I believed
there is nothing anymore

Flashing on the ages, to spend my little dime
but I know the scene, and no promised lands

Flying I can live another day, forever

Flying I can live another day, forever
Down and I'll rise above the clouds to forever

Now we have some distance from that period of time
to deal with the mess that was left behind

Fight the Final Season
I don't know what looking for
Shift the wall of sound, hear my pray

And I'm wasting all my days, I will cry
You'll be loosing all your days, You will cry

And I'm wasting all my days, I will cry
You'll be loosing all your days, You will cry

Forever looking for the truth
forever looking
looking for

these new tears are sharp. I try to hold them back.
I'm useless against them. They are beating me with ease.

what gives me awake at night,
gives me alive at day
Shift the wall of sound, hear my pray

And I'm wasting all my days, I will cry
You'll be loosing all your days, You will cry

And I'm wasting all my days, I will cry
You'll be loosing all your days, You will cry

Forever looking for the truth
forever looking
looking for

x-y-z to close the ring
x-y-z ucronic dream

x-y-z to call my time
x-y-z to reach my age

x-y-z from 2k2
x-y-z too years ago

x-y-z my spinning mass
x-y-z to neverland

x-y-z to reach my age?
