Lyrics:
You were born to be a star
Into a world of segregation
Every part of you would go far
You bought resistance to the nation

We are dancers
No-one like you before
We are dancers
The most sensational woman you ever saw
So spin me round
I feel the beat
I’m lost and found
I love the heat

You were born to bring change
While some thought you were strange
We are dancers
No-one like you before
We are dancers
The most sensational woman anyone ever saw
So spin me round
I feel the beat
I’m lost and found
I love the heat

We are dancers
We are dancers

A force for the rest
A Creole Goddess
We are dancers
No-one like you before
We are dancers
The most sensational woman anyone ever saw
So spin me round
I feel the beat
I’m lost and found
I love the heat…

We Are Dancers

We’re pirates… We’re monkeys… We can be gloomy sometimes, but most times we are just fun, loud, and noisy…We don't have a direction and we don't know where our space galleon will take us, so… We just keep following the waves… oh…and we come from Rigel of course!
Crank up the volume and join us on our trip! Aargh! 🐒🏴‍☠️

LYRICS:
Today we met in Cairo
My life could’ve ended
You made a man lose his mind though
Please don’t be offended

Today we met in Cairo
I was shattered on impact
You turned my world on its head so
All my belief has backtracked

I feel Elite
Like the chosen
You’ve made my day
And I’m frozen
Yeah
I’m on my way…

Iris, I’m ripped and torn
When your eyes looked straight at mine
You must be reborn
I need to recreate our prime
When I see you
The stars align
That’s why our connection
Is bigger than time
Iris, lets clone our past
I need you back and fast

I feel Elite
Like the chosen
You’ve made my day
And I’m frozen
Yeah
Yeah
I’m on my way…

Iris, I’m ripped and torn
When your eyes looked straight at mine
You must be reborn
I need to recreate our prime
When I see you
The stars align
That’s why our connection
Is bigger than time
Iris, lets clone our past
I need you back and fast

I feel Elite
Like the chosen
You’ve made my day
And I’m frozen
Yeah
Yeah

Today we said goodbye though
Your life’s surrendered
It was an act of revenge so
My life should’ve ended

Iris
You must be reborn

When I see you
The stars align
That’s why our connection
Is bigger than time
Iris, lets clone our past
I need you back and fast

I feel Elite
Like the chosen, yeah
You’ve made my day
And I’m frozen
Yeah

I’m on my way…
I’m on my way…

The video game Turrican and its stunning soundtrack have been with me for many, many years, and I always wanted to make a tribute to it: my personal thank you in some ways, taking inspiration from the original song, and putting my very own spin on it.

The idea for the lyrics, on the other hand, comes from the italian comic book "Nathan Never" and its second episode, which I can translate in "The Black Monolite", where the main topics are (false) religions, nostalgia for the past, and the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey.
I just wanna add a special thought in this moment to Luigi Piccatto - his family, his friends, and his fans.

LYRICS:
Can you hear them coming from a distance?
An opportunity for the thief.
They think you can make a difference,
But reality is lurking beneath.

Can you hear them coming from a distance?
An opportunity for the thief.
They think you can make a difference,
But reality is lurking beneath.

A fool inside magicians make up,
Who will fall for your sleight of hand?
They begin to worship no-one,
So far, it is working as planned.

Take yourself up to the desert rocks,
There you’ll see the truth you guys forgot.
A tale of wizardry pushed by a fake,
Remember when the staff was turned into a snake.

You’ll find yourself up by the desert rocks,
There you’ll see the truth you guys forgot.
A tale of wizardry pushed by a fake,
Remember when the staff was turned into a snake.

Now I know you think your trick is working,
An opportunity of belief.
Some see straight through your insistence,
Your hold on them is weak and it’s brief.

A fool so low you stoop below me,
And slither through the dirt and the sand.
There is hope for those who can see,
We’ll hold tight walking close hand in hand.

Take yourself up to the desert rock,
There you’ll see the time you all forgot.
Take it all as a chance to stop,
It’s black up here by the desert rocks.

Take yourself up to the desert rock,
There you’ll see the time you all forgot.
Take it all as a chance to stop,
It’s black up here by the desert rocks.

Can you hear them coming from a distance?

An opportunity for the thief.

They think you can make a difference,

But reality is lurking beneath.

Take yourself up to the desert rocks,
There you’ll see the time you all forgot.
Take it all as a chance to stop,
It’s black up here by the desert rocks.

Take yourself up to the desert rocks,
There you’ll see the time you all forgot.
Take it all as a chance to stop,
It’s black up here by the desert rocks.
It’s black up here by the desert rocks.
