The Story

A Rock Opera From the Edge of Europe

"The time says many things" is a concept album — every song is a chapter in a single story. Richard kills his girlfriend Sharon and her lover. His father Antonio and brother Angelo confront the aftermath: prison, execution, grief, war, and the crushing weight of choices made in greed. The narrative moves between English dialogue and Slovenian stage directions, creating something between a rock opera and a theatrical performance.

"The characters, places and incidents described in 'The time says many things' are product of SOMEONE's imagination."

01
Hands Of Justice
Track 01
Richard je pod vplivom mamil z revolverjem ubil svojo punco Sharon in njenega ljubimca. Odpravil se je proti izhodu stanovanjske hiše, kjer ga je obveščena policija aretirala. Stekla je obravnava zločina.
Richard:Hi. Die bastard!
Sharon:Aaaaaaaaa...
Richard:Now, you honey...
Policeman:Police! Put the gun away! Right now!
Richard:OK. OK. Easy guy.

Aircraft-Carrier
Track 02 · Longest Track
Njegov oče Antonio je preko pisma sporočil svojemu sinu Angelu žalostno resnico, ki je doletela njegovo družino. Še pred tem je na dušek izpil iz steklenice nekaj žganega.
(Del očetovega pisma)
Antonio:Here I'm standing and I hear. Voices of the past calling me. Too much sins in my life, oh Jesus wash my sins of my crimes. I'm the real one, sorry son what I've done. I'm standing in the dark. All faces in the sky, they are crying. Why, why?? Angelo now I'm so far. Now, from my eye dropped one tear. Young boy dead on the ground, policeman close to him. One solution in my mind. I can not stand for what I fight. This job is not for me. All I want is to be free. Can't you see? I see the candles in the sky. I hear a victims cry. What's the price of my life?
Angelo:I remember the day the flames were in my eyes explosions everywhere in this sphere but now I can see what's going on with me god set me free I left my love behind and violence came with its to give to the world the pain and the death My life is in the sky I never wonder why That's the time.
I was a man with an iron heart, but now something's rolling in my mind.
I was a man with hope in life, but now I'm crying in the night.
03
Clouds Always Win
Track 03
Angelo se je iz letalonosilke vrnil domov, kjer se je ob srečanju z očetom soočil z neizmerno žalostjo. Antonio pa se je zavedal, da je za vse to bil delno tudi sam kriv.
(Izpoved očeta)
Antonio:Wind, my son is dying. Memories, why am I crying. Together we lived in a deeply sin. Clouds always win. Chains of the past. Life was burning fast. Yes, every day and every night. For business I sold my heart.
Antonio:Despite wealth now I am crying. Cause my son is declining. Why I never thought about. Our beat of life. Eyes were blind, filled with greed. I never understood your need. Why I never thought about. That you'll leave me.
Močan grom je prekinil očetovo izpoved na tistem mu je pred oči stopil nagroben kamen pod katerem leži Richardova mati Jeniffer Geager.
So there we stayed. Stone on your grave. Yes, every day and every night. For business I sold my heart.

The Time Says Many Things
Track 04 · Title Track
Antonio se je bal izpovedal. V sobi je za trenutek zavladala tišina. Dobra kapljica, katera se jima je ponujala, je v njuh vzbudila spomine na Richardovo rojstvo in na nepričakovano smrt njegove matere Jeniffer.
Angelo:Now is the time, a lot of things are changing. Now is the time, a lot of states are creating. Whispering things in life, no nobody hears. Is this true and real that the progress will never win? Now, this is the time. Now, this is the time.
Angelo:Now is the time, a lot of things are staying. Now is the time, can you hear it, it's calling. Blackman trapped again, violence slaughter come. War and nuclearity all what we learned was on the wrong side. Now, this is the time.
People sing:No more humanity. Living through the sins. We are standing in disease. The forests are dying, can't you see? Information blow in the vanity. We still are in disease.
Here I'm standing and someone is crying in the night. Maybe is a child or maybe is an old man I can't see. Where is green, where is love and honesty? When the people will change this question, question of this century? But, where is the answer?
(Različni prizori iz življenja)
Various People:Have you got it? Hashis? Fine.
God open eyes to all sinners, because they don't know what they are doing. Pray to god.
I can't take it any more I wanna do a suicide.
Father, tell me why people commita a suicide?
Antonio:Listen Angelo, you are too young to understand this. Everything you see on the streets and TV set you can meet in life, because the time changes the man and you see everything what is happening in our world depends only on time. Now, I wish that you'd grown up into a honest and active man.
Angelo:Yes father, I promise you.
Now is the time, everything I must change. Now is the time, a lot of states are creating. Whispering things in life, no, nobody hears. Is this true and real that the progress will never win? Now, this is the time. Now, this is the time.
Dogajanje se je odvijalo v bolnišnici, kjer sta z očetom čakala na porod Jeniffer Geager.
Nurse Linda:Doctor Stevens.
Dr.Stevens:Yes, Linda.
Linda:Mister Pignatti is waiting.
Dr.Stevens:Let him enter.
Antonio:Good afternoon, Dr.Stevens.
Dr.Stevens:Good afternoon.
Antonio:How is missis Jeniffer Geager?
Dr.Stevens:I'm sorry for you. I wander that she has held out so long.
Antonio:And child?
Dr.Stevens:He's out of danger.
Antonio:I will provide for your child, Jeniffer. Yes, his name will be Richard, yes(s), Richard Geager.

What Is War And What Is Love
Track 09
Doma je Angelo opazil, da je oče zopet v zunajnem stanju, zato je sklenil, da ga ne bo postulal, čeprav je bilo v otročeskih sdelih veliko resnice.
Antonio:Soon we'll stop over the door-step, and we'll enter in the twenty-one century, but people still die for the sake of a different religion, economical crises, greedy of material goods, etc. But it doesn't help to talk. All is concluded in one single dance, which ends in desolation, hunger, illnesses, death, because conductor of this inhuman orchestra the lady in a blackblooded cloak, who is called the War.
Tako je odšel na teraso in v raje razmišljal o svoji ljubezni.
Angelo:Rain on the flower. On the blosom of my life. 'Cause I see broken heart through your eyes. Tonight, I'm in doubt whether to go or to remain. Now I know that it's all decided with pain.
Angelo:All my dreams passed by when you're gone. I can't believe that I loved you. All my dreams passed by when you're gone, 'cause I love you, I'm waiting. I'm waiting for love right from your heart.
Angelo:Now my home is an aircraft-carrier. My heart is filled with cloud. But it was so simple. I wanted to talk to you, but I was too young and wherever I go I always miss you.
Čez čas se je fant v pristidnih zgodbah dolgočasnega nakladanja, saj je bil Antonio potreben novega pritisla.
Antonio:People, it's better to construct peace, love — for better tomorrow. Therefore rather not to knock on that door, because the price for that dance is too high.

Living With Illusion
Track 10 · Finale
Kmalu za tem, ko se je Angelo vrnil na telefonolalice je dobil telegram, da ga je tudi oče za vedno zapustil. S kom bo sedaj delil večere, saj se bližali božični prazniki.
Angelo:Streets in the night. Place of my pain and my dark. Wherever I go I'm so alone. It's been all the same to me. I have been here too long.
Angelo:'Cause I live, I live with illusion. Yes, I live without any cell in my vein. 'Cause I live, I live in the world of confusion. Yes, I live, I live in this world with pain.
Angelo:Hey man, any news? Do you have any change for me? No one said a word. Such is life. Happy new year. Paper is usually white. What a day. Such a pity.
