Skylark (Edited Version) Lyrics

[Musica e testi: Eddy Antonini]

[cello solo / lead bass / violin solo / flute solo]

The shining skylarks are coming to this town
To understand what people desire
To ride the rainbow, to find a simple life
Come and play with us this song tonight

[pre-chorus:]
Now that time has come you can't go away
Now that your soul is strong,
You'll fly alone someday
Raise your sword to sun! (raise your sword to sun)
Raise your sword to us! (don't think of losing)
Raise your sword and the sun is coming down
Raise your sword tonight

[chorus:]
Skylarks are back in town
Skylarks are falling down
Upon your head, near to your eyes
I'm not afraid to die
Skylarks are here for you
Skylars are running to
To a better place, to a better life
Come with skylarks to survive

[1st bridge:]
Here I go, I don't want to fall
Skylarks are so near
No this time, 'cause we won't crawl
Ride the sun of fear!

[twin guitar solo / violin solo / instrumental part]

[2nd bridge:]
Raise your glory don't you worry
Raise your thoughts don't sleep too much
Raise your eyes don't say goodbye
Follow the skylark
Won't you leave it don't you leave it
Indipendent this is your chance
Got a time it isn't a crime
Looking for skylark

[2nd guitar solo: Max Ferri]

[pre-chorus:]
Now that time has come you can't go away
Now that your soul is strong,
You'll fly alone someday
Raise your sword to sun! (raise your sword to sun)
Raise your sword to us! (don't think of losing)
Raise your sword and the sun is coming down
Raise your sword tonight

[chorus:]
Skylarks are back in town
Skylarks are falling down
Upon your head, near to your eyes
Come with skylarks to survive!

At least six groups have used this name in genres ranging from House, Metal, Pop, Folk and Rock.

(A) The most prominent and oldest Skylark was a Canadian pop/rock band active from 1971-1973 and based in the Pacific Northwest. Their biggest single, "Wildflower", was a 1972 number one hit in Canada, making Billboard's Top 10, and selling over a million copies. It was written by guitarist Doug Edwards and Dave Richardson, who was a Victoria police officer at the time. "Wildflower" is an early example of the power ballad, featuring a strong, emotional lead vocal, a blend of electric guitar, strings and harp, distinctive "slow dance" percussion, and almost-gospel background vocals. It was featured on 70's era K-Tel compilations and has since been covered by Johnny Mathis, The New Birth, The O'Jays, Kenny Rogers, Aaron Neville, Gary Morris, Color Me Badd, Lisa Fischer, Hong Kong superstar Sandy Lam, and sampled by Tupac Shakur and Jamie Foxx.

(B) - Skylark is Nic Fanciulli and Andy Chatterley

(C) Skylark is a symphonic power metal band from Italy. Formed by keyboardist Eddy Antonini, the current line-up is:

Kiara - Female Vocals
Fabrizio "Pota" Romani - Guitar
Roberto "Brodo" Potenti - Bass
Eddy Antonini - Keyboard

At the moment Skylark does not have a drummer. They have released a total of 8 albums, the latest one being Divine Gates Part III - The Last Gate.

Skylark is an incredible story of a metal band which reached unexpected results, writing a page destined to remain unique in the history of music. Starting as a cult/underground band in 1994 and built on the power symphonic compositions written and arranged by Eddy Antonini and Roberto “Brodo” Potenti, Skylark has never had the chance to enter the major world distribution, meeting the skepticism of the most important media and record companies. In spite of this, the band year by year has conquered a growing number of fans, scored amazing and incredible goals such as the sellings result, around 140.000 copies sold , and a series of powerful concerts all around the world sharing the stage with bands such as Royal Hunt, Running Wild, Edguy, Virgin Steel, Nightwish and Dream Theater. No other underground band can show such a kind of achievements. The place where Skylark music reached the top is for sure the Far East, especially China, where in 2008 they performed the longest tour for a foreign band in the Chinese history, and Japan where the band had the chance to perform in three wonderful live tours between 2003 and 2005, getting two sold outs in Shinjuku Loft and Shibuya Cyclone, nice gigs in Club Quattro (Osaka and Tokyo) besides a show in the famous, crowdy and excited Club Chitta in Kawasaki.
The record “Divine Gates part 3: The Last Gate” allowed the band to get its first deal in the US (first Italian power metal band printed there) and, above all, to reach the 3rd position in the HMV Rock and Pop Japanese Charts, 7th Overall, selling more than 25.000 copies worldwide despite the dramatic downtrend of the music industry.
In May 2009 the band will publish its first DVD “Divine Gates part 4: The Live Gate”, featuring the live show faithfully recorded and filmed in Phoenix- Arizona on May 2008.
