And we go to the river
To the river to be named
There are tears and there is laughter
But to us they sound the same
‘cause we’re young and blind
So we miss the line
That has joined this place with time

And we go to the river
To the river to bathe
We are dazed by the flicker
Of the sun upon a face
‘cause we’re strong and blind
So we miss the line
That has joined this place with time

And we go to the river
To the river to be cured
There is silence in the water
While we’re waiting for the word
‘cause we’re wrong and blind
So we miss the line
That has joined this place with time

And we go to the river
To the river to drown
So we scream as we get there
Then we go without a sound
Having long been blind
Now we see the sign
Where the line has joined with time

To the river

So you came to me in symbols
While I was polishing my prime
And exposed me to the swindle
Of time

I wonder, is the game on or am I far gone?

I’m sitting still but can’t hide
Just in case everything ain’t over
And I’ll walk down those stairs like a bride
You just take cover
Take good cover
We will bind ourselves in sound and call each other

Well I’m dirtying my fingers
Since I must talk of up and down
And the sheer drops on these rings are
All around

I wonder, is the game on or am I far gone?

I’m sitting still...
We will bind ourselves in light and sight each other
Even when it’s over

Reverse

Oh, when you’re gone
When I’ve been loving you
I end up feeling all unsteady and misused
It’s nothing that you do
It’s what I am and what I feel
That won’t feel true

One day is done
Another one is due
Which will bring nothing that we haven’t burnt or bruised
Another day we’ll lose
‘cause what we are and what we feel
Just won’t feel true

When you're gone

Run me through and chop me up to bits with the sword of your displeasure
It’s what I deserve, for after all, I am the flesh and blood of fallen man
Oh let me strain away from fire as they stare at my endeavour
I promise I’ll be godly I’ll take it as slowly as I can

But slow
Poison
I cannot take
Coursing
Down through my veins
Like a snake
Wake me up at
Dawn and lead me
To your stake

Then I feel I’d feel the same as those slow and early risers
Rear up your head and when it comes the blow will clean you up with a 
clean sweep
There is no fear when one’s enthroned with the souls of one’s soul-kaisers
But think how dark the cell of the lone self and how deep

That slow...

Dear motherer, dear fatherer, keep me awake
By the son that’s made of all the things that break

Why, we’re hating every minute
But we couldn’t spare a day
Though we know there’s nothing in it
Stay still, old sun, we say

Everything – every little thing
Everything – every little thing
On our last day will look like marbles in the sunshine
The trip we missed, the one we never dared to kiss
The last fake pearl that’s hanging on the line
Everything – every little thing

Well, we’re aching for some novelty
And we’re dead against all change
Though we’re sick of copies and repeats
Once again, we go, once again
Everything – every little thing
Everything – every little thing
As it goes out will feel like stars becoming colder
The meaning lost the time we thought about the cost
Stiff days we marshalled off like soldiers
Everything – every little thing

Moro & the Silent Revolution have formed near the east coast of central Italy, in 2010, to give shape to Massimiliano Morini's songs. Their indie-folk pop has been heard on BBC6, Rai Radio 1, 2 and 3, Radio24 and Laeffe, and has been used as soundtrack to the TV program Orto e mezzo, on Italian nationwide television. Their instrumentals have been included in the sountracks to Voi siete qui (Radio24) and Una vita (Rai Radio 2). The video for one of their songs, “Love & Understanding” (2012), was re-posted online by the New Musical Express. Moro & the Silent Revolution have played live on Rai Radio 2 (Canicola), Radio Città del Capo (Maps), and in Italian festivals such as Area 51 Summer Festival (Bologna), Meeting People is Easy (Reggio Emilia), Arena delle Balle di Paglia (Cotignola) and Strade Blu (Emilia Romagna). They have also played in historical Italian venues like Calamita, Covo, Sidro, and Hana-bi. Their third album, Home Pastorals (Gamma Pop/Warner, 2014), was reviewed on several Italian national newspapers and on all leading Italian music sites, as well as Fresh on the Net (BBC) and music blogs in the UK, France, Ireland, the States, and India. Widely-respected Italian critic Eddy Cilìa chose it as one of his three “Italian” albums of 2014, while both Cilìa and Carlo Bordone praised the group – unbeknownst to each other –  in a double interview given for a national musical writing award.
