About the song:
"Red Waters" is a dark and visceral premonition, a waking dream that moves between symbolism and cruelty. The track conjures a suspended and unsettling dimension, where nature reveals itself as an impassive and impartial force—a silent witness to suffering and destruction, governed by obscure and unyielding laws.
"Red Waters" takes the listener into an unsettling lucid dream, hovering between the real and the unreal, leaving a sense of anguish and an oppressive anticipation for what is yet to come.
"We decided to integrate visuals created with artificial intelligence," explains vocalist Francesco, "in collaboration with director and videomaker Marco Vivaldi and AI Creator Carlo Moschettoni, to give the track a unique atmosphere: the unreality of dreams combined with that unsettling and imperfect resemblance to reality that only AI can deliver."

Red Waters (lyrics):
The watchtower facing the mountain
Now gives way to the landscape.
Stale blood stains the grass
On which you walk and sleep,
The trees stretch their branches at your passing,
They laugh and offer you their fruit,
They laugh and sting you with their thorns.
A scream rips the silence
When the mist lightly
Dissolves with the morning wind.
Rocky teeth rise over the valley,
Abandoned to hatred.
The fire burns the head of a murdered man,
Eyes wide open that no longer see.
The cuts and the marks of struggle on his face,
Features ravaged by the burning tongues.
A distant crowd watches a woman
Walking heavily among lifeless bodies,
Across the past and the remaining nothingness.
Her face covered by a black veil,
As she surrenders to the red waters.
The river carries away a body
When the mist lightly
Dissolves with the morning wind.
Life boils in the bottom,
And feeds on abundance.
