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.
