    The first Orient Express release is an emotional trip full of suggestion, which combines hypnotic moments to obsessive and cutting accelerations, straight riffs and inspired melodies, in a clear Motorpsycho, God Machine mood, with strong references to psychedelic 70’s Rock scene. The sound of the band, dragged by the rhythmic section, is getting more kaleidoscopic since the introduction of the synthesizers, that enriches the expectant and dark atmospheres, and emphasizes the emotional, expanded and chasing progressions. Have a nice trip!

ETERNAL CHILD (music by Orient Express / lyrics by Paolo Ormas) Tracks of memories Remaind me of better time When i was a child The world was right for me Everything i made Experience for my life Writing a destiny Running on the past And i’m running all the time And i’m running all the time My eyes reveal a deep desire Inside me a child that lives And i’m running all the time Running all the time

Madness 03:57
MADNESS (music & lyrics by Orient Express) Madness side Your great delight Catch the shadows of your rage, passin' trought the walls of pain unhurt Fire walks with me Fire walks with me Know your rights and kill your past Forget the time before this life, listen to the voice inside your head Fire walks with me Fire walks with me

Illusion 06:08
ILLUSION (music by Luigi Doronzo / lyrics by Paolo Ormas) Did you see, my skin is blamed Ride on me, consume my flame Come and flow, It's fast and strong It's my choice with pride and tears All this faith Illusion Feed my needs Confusion Show me how forgive the fear What it seems cannot be true Just a phase to wish this test Gallery without way out All this faith Illusion Feed my needs Confusion Can see the light at the end of way See the light

Prison Head 03:56
PRISON HEAD (music by Orient Express / lyrics by Paolo Ormas) A forced smile upon this face This think so real is sadness feel My head's prison kept me to think I saw my dreams begin to die When i’ve seen you in front of me My shorth breath stops is work This frozen heart resume is beat I saw my mind fallen in love. Tell me now, tell me why, we can’t hope tonight

Rats Know 06:37
RATS KNOW (music by Luigi Doronzo / lyrics by Luigi Doronzo, Beppe Massara) So many times across the bridge i ask to myself when I'll see her again Drive and drive trough the legs houses and statues i was lookin' at them hungry hungry hungry and my thoughts were part of the buildings my thoughts were part of the paints rats know my dreams rats know my wishes and my thoughts were part of the buildings my thoughts were part of the paints rats know my dreams rats know my wishes you can't find me at all anywhere you can't find me at all anywhere and my thoughts were part of the buildings my thoughts were part of the paints rats know my dreams rats know my wishes

Ten Drops 04:02
TEN DROPS (music by Luigi Doronzo / lyrics by Paolo Ormas, Luigi Doronzo, Beppe Massara) Time, master of my mind Tyrant of my thoughts Sign upon my face Reason of my shame Will you cry for your past? When you're tired for your life Leave all the things fall Can you see the horse? Land time is not a land The lake where i drown Echo of ten drops I' m not that guy Will you cry for your past? When you're tired for your life Leave all the things fall Can you ride the horse? Such a shame

First Dawn 04:09
FIRST DAWN (music by Orient Express / lyrics by Vito Digiovanni, Paolo Ormas) I've been looking for you in the land of tears I've said many lies for you I used to live without fear climbing up the walls I refused the truth for you Now I kiss my self Lickin' all my scars Walking in the dark, through the shadows of the past Thinking of my faults for you I've gone back on my steps stumbled on my shit One more chance is what I've lost Now I kiss my self Lickin' all my scars Stone by stone until I'll reach my first dawn I've swallowed bitter words, forgetting of the taste I've drunk judah's blood for you Acting like a mask, smell of gin around I've swept away my better days Now I kiss myself Lickin' all my scars Stone by stone untill I'll reach my first dawn

Hidden Man 05:50
HIDDEN MAN (music by Orient Express / lyrics by Paolo Ormas) Like an hidden man Want to disappear Too many secrets, feel the pain Want another life Nothin' to save No more lies, no place for us Let me slide away Let me slide away Fallin' to pieces, forget to be a man Far away from here Let me live alone Nothin' to do Let me show you what i want Let me slide away Let me slide away
9.
Today 05:15
TODAY (music by Luigi Doronzo / lyrics by Paolo Ormas) I was bored of this life all the troubles in my mind Lazy hours, winter time And I'm thinkin' i'd better go away Waiting for someone or something Trying to become wiser and maybe tomorrow Choose happiness or drink alone Simply waiting for a sign To spend the rest of my life Now. today. I know. Everyday I steal my time, just for a trespass, hide this crime but I'm doing alright I'm loosing my soul, day by day I know the people, i can see them But I don't listen to their words And I'm thinkin' I'd better go away Waiting for someone or something Trying to become a wiser and maybe tomorrow Choose hapiness or drink alone Simply waiting for a sign To spend the rest of my life Now. today. I know. Everyday I steal my time, just for a trespass, hide this crime but I'm doing alright Now. today. I know Now. Today

Euphoria 08:21
EUPHORIA (music by Orient Express / lyrics by Vito Digiovanni, Paolo Ormas) Touch me, deceive me Soiled with my blood Steals me in my soul what no there inside Look at me, dip yourself Want escape the truth Face that have a strange feeling Let me understand Object of your madness ecstatic euphoria Around me in the air music i dont care You can face me again today I think this life is cruel A brand new day begins You convince me when you want Will not get tired myself There’s still a little fire You can break my hearth today Your violence think so cool Can make a little smile.......
