News from the past
(Music: D.G.I.; Lyrics: Matt Siddi, Davide Sgualdini)


[PAWN] Dear mama,
[PAWN] I’m writing alone in this darkened room to ask you news from the past.
[PAWN] How are you?
[PAWN] It’s been a long time that I do not hear your voice, time is passed too fast.
[PAWN] Tell me more about my father... (set free my roots)
[PAWN] And let me imagine his face.
[PAWN] Tell me more about my birthday (set free my soul)
[PAWN] It’s time to clarify.


[PAWN] Fly high... dream of love I will not feel your taste
[PAWN] Till my night will be passed.
[PAWN] Fly high... letter from my heart and bring to me,
[PAWN] Answers that I need.


[PAWN] Tell me why I feel this anger,
[PAWN] And why I can’t go on.
[PAWN] I want to know all about his absence,
[PAWN] I will not compromise!!


[PAWN] All I got it’s just a piece of a broken life
[PAWN] Mama as you can see I’m going to lose my mind
[PAWN] All I got it’s just a piece of a broken life


[WHITE] “You see, he wrote at last.”
[BLACK] “Umphf! You dupe! No good news is News from the Past. AHAHA!”

[ROOK] My child, it’s strange to read from you…what’s the matter son?
[ROOK] It’s a thing you’ve always known…
[ROOK] It’s so cold in this building, now I want you to know
[ROOK] How the things been gone…
[ROOK] I remember when your father came to me (I hate him) and he took me by force
[ROOK] I still remember his face
[ROOK] All my projects and my dreams crashed to the ground (I hate him) only tears and anger…
[ROOK] It was the end for me…

[ROOK] Fly high... memories of a mother, bring to him
[ROOK] Answers that he needs
[ROOK] Fly high... cross the mountains and whisper to my son
[ROOK] The cruelty of these words:

[ROOK] Can you remember the face of the girl you’ve dated for long,
[ROOK] I heard she moved to the town.
[ROOK] Your father owns that place and he fell in love for her
[ROOK] He married her, my son.

[ROOK] I hope you understand
[PAWN] How am I supposed to understand, he stole my love
[ROOK] But I never found the strength
[PAWN] I will find the strength to take my revenge
[ROOK] I hope you understand
[PAWN] I’ll never understand, no, I won’t understand!
[ROOK] Forgive me son.
