Lyrics

"Once again all lyrics were composed by Giorgia Gueglio, "I started the lyrics with the intention of writing a concept album with the title "Metals", concerning metals in metallurgy, chemistry, alchemy and magic. But during their creation I found my lyrics full of sentiments, suffering and emotions. So "Metals" became too cold. Many tracks have a title with a metal within, but these are "warmed" by blood, my/our human warmth, the passion of making music in a difficult world. So the album title was changed to "On Fire". 'O Fire' is a hot work, very human. On the front cover (also created by Giorgia) you can see a metal hearth. It represents our body that became real and can be hot or burn thanks to our emotions".".[2]
