Three Wise Monkeys You're fighting for your dreams and you're breaking all the rules You're living day by day Searching for the truth Now your time is coming Now your time is coming No you can't refuse The time is coming Knowing what is good is all about Knowing the nature of what’s bad I can tell you what's the plan for you I can't save you If your heart’s not true Three wise monkey’s golden rule Looking the other way Pretending that you are a fool Cause you don’t wanna play Willfully turning a blind eye To all immorality Three wise monkeys Turning a blind eye Three wise monkeys You don't believe my words But I'm the one who really knows You should trust me my friend I know it's hard to live that way I can tell you what's the plan for you I can't save you If your heart’s not true Three wise monkey’s golden rule Looking the other way Pretending that you are a fool Cause you don’t wanna play Willfully turning a blind eye To all immorality Truth is blind my mouth is sealed We just care about ourselves Justice kneels she bows and yield Dare not to speak up Her words blowing in the wind Three wise monkey’s golden rule Looking the other way Pretending that you are a fool Cause you don’t wanna play Willfully turning a blind eye To all immorality

Blackened Tornado It's like a war inside my head Conflictual thoughts that I can't control I can't believe what's happening It's like a nightmare living in a dream I wake up and I can't see the sun The darkness is gripping all of my mind but I know that light can be created it can grow brighter and be sustained We must fight the winds of darkness it's just the absence of light destroy that blackened tornado if we can control our minds light can be by our creation I'm a victim of my own thoughts My mind is sick and I can't go on I can't see what's reality It's like a nightmare living in a dream We must fight the winds of darkness it's just the absence of light destroy that blackened tornado

FREE FALLING Have you heard the natures cry? Have you felt the fear inside? So many things come back to us We cannot fight this world have you heard the earth is dying? have you tried to run away? No escape from these tragedies We won't survive this world We are going through a natural circle of change Free falling There’s no one else to play this game of life No time for prayers Free falling until the end We're living tragic events Free falling until our end No way to fight or defend Have you seen the news today? Poisoned air is everywhere I've seen the words before It’s hard to see the earth bleeding Tragic times, what can we do? In the end there's nothing new You and I must see it clear Money cannot save us from pain We are going through a natural circle of change Free falling There’s no one else to play this game of life No time for tears Free falling until the end We're living tragic events Free falling until our end No way to fight or defend Free falling until the end We're living tragic events Free falling until our end No way to fight or defend We cannot fight this world No escape from these tragedies Free falling Have you the natures cry? We are going through a natural circle of change

Coming Home 03:47
Coming Home I left my home town for a dream. Tasted the hard life to make it real. I took my chances to get what I want, to make a believe. I left my love to see if there was more. No it ain't easy when you are all alone. I took the hard way to make it true. And now I'm longing for you. I'm coming home love. This is my home town. I've tried my wings I lived my dream. I'm coming home love. I hope you're waiting. A few more miles and then I'm done. Feels like a second drifted away. While the years flowed on their way. Don't know if you stayed just were I left. In time I will see. If you are gone my finest friend. You live in my heart till the end. I'll be waiting as long as I'm here. Forgive me for leaving you. I'm coming home love. This is my home town. I've tried my wings I lived my dream. I'm coming home love. I hope you're waiting. A few more miles and then I'm done. The words you told me when we were young. Don't count the days go on with it today. I'm coming home love. This is my home town. I've tried my wings I lived my dream. I'm coming home love. I hope you're waiting. A few more miles and then I'm done.

Believe 04:40
Everyday I cry for the people who's dying Life is so short There's nothing we can do No one knows what the fate deserve us But the world is so wonderful We can't give up Hope is the only thing that can bring us forward I believe in you I believe what we can do A chance to all of us to live and love in this world I believe in you I believe what we can do don't give up your dreams make them real! Every day I've tryed to remember your words the stories you told oh the teller I'm hearing Learning something new from the day you live in wish you were here to tell oh were I'm heading Oh no we can't give up Hope is the only thing that can bring us forward I believe in you I believe what we can do A chance to all of us to live and love in this world I believe in you I believe what we can do. Don't give up your dreams make them real. Do you believe

about

Official video trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FIXDuBdUeI

“Three Wise Monkeys” is the brand new recording by Alberto Rigoni, progressive rock composer & bass player (TwinSpirits, Lady & THE BASS), who is rapidly gaining audience in the international progressive rock fusion music scene for inventive genre-crossing compositions that paint alluring soundscapes comprehensible to wide varieties of listeners, yet artistically sophisticate and individualistic enough to sustain one’s attention once gained.

Rigoni’s third solo album is thematically centered around the Japanese folk legend of the “Three Wise Monkeys” and further refines the stylistic contrasts and progressive spirit characterizing 2011’s “Rebirth” (Nightmare Records), concretely separating the mellow jazz, rock fusion, and ambient from the assertive melodic and hard rock and developing each extreme into Rigoni’s most aggressive and most delicate material. His distinctively kaleidoscopic bass playing and compositional grace smoothly passes across borders and carries traits of each of its components, becoming less of a solo project based around the bass guitar than a progressive rock experience.

The album also boasts contributions from great special guests: Göran Edman (ex Yngwie Malmsteen, John Norum, Brazen Abbot), Jonas Erixon (Alicate), Kevin Moore (ex Dream Theater, OSI, Chroma Key), Mark Cross (Outloud, ex Helloween, Firewind), Federico Solazzo (Alexia), Alessandro Bertoni (Aphelion), Mistheria (Bruce Dickinson, Rob Rock), Tommy Ermolli (TwinSpirits), Simone Mularoni (DGM, Empyrios), Paolo Valli (session drummer), Paco Barillà (Daniele Liverani), Sebastian Persini (Solo artist, session drummer)
