Lyrics:
Riduci le stelle in polvere
e non invecchierai
mi appare in sogno Venere
tu padre che ne sai?
Lontano da queste tenebre
matura l'avvenire.
Il cielo è senza nuvole
Padre fammi partire!
La luce sul vulcano
Mi indicherà l'uscita
Al fuoco delle tenebre
Scelgo una nuova vita.

I uploaded the song because the CD is not printed anymore and difficult to find...enjoy! :-)
