The Secret Garden
05:04
|
|||
|
In this corridors
you will find pictures and vases
but in the end there's a door
No key and it's locked
So many times tried to open it,
and I could not get it
But one night with rain outside
I heard a music from downstairs
The same place, the same door
but it was open
... Who? Why?
It was a secret garden
Ivy and roses all around,
deep fog and rain,
a place where I can cry in peace

With a candle light and a smile on my face
The unreal flower smells good
Standhal was right but believe me I know
that you won't be afraid
But when you stare at the mirror in the night,
who's that one? Whose that face?
Can't you see him with half make up, half heart
and silver tears from his eyes?
Away from light a face of mine
Cross the light of time
Candle light... The night...
Hide! And shame on you!
Smell of flowers, picture screams
Introspection in ignorance now
Nor hope or despair
So no more tears, no more tears, no more hide,
the Circus needs you
So my black cape and my hat for me!
That is an half hidden moon!
Away from light a face of mine
Cross the light of time
Candle light... The night...
Then the night, half hidden face
Endless shame hidden by the half mask of the moon
So come, in the dark,
and in the night cover my red wounds with your love
Then the light, the dark flower in your hand
Screams of shame from the mouth of the white lady above
But now come here, heal my wounds
and cover' em with your dark love of the night

Wardrobe Of Oblivion
03:38
|

Open the door, you'll find the day
praying the night to hide and to please
Costumes and masks dwelling therein,
sumptuous delight of a sneer in a smile
Dead stains of life on a dress
Disgust and thorn, futures of suffering
Embracing you, till your blood flows
Robbing your hopes of following days
Their voices so near, near to your past,
telling memories. Oh, don't trust them
Come forth real sign of my sin,
then go, so, forevermore with my truth

There's no light in this cold chamber of mine
I can't find the key to get out from here
I got empty hands, I need to hold my sheet
But trust...trust...the morning is coming soon
In my eyes, in the snow
I feel so cold inside
In this grave of frozen eyes
I want to cry in your arms
In my eyes, in the snow
I feel so cold inside
In this grave of frozen eyes...
I want to hear I pray...Embrace me...I won't embrace you
Systematic egoism of a lonely man and god
Love...Hate..and the loneliness of my bed
The light will come, the mourning is coming soon
In my eyes, in the snow
I feel so cold inside
In this grave of frozen eyes
I want to cry in your arms
In my eyes, in the snow
I feel so cold inside
In this grave of frozen eyes
I want to cry in your arms
Now you chose my embrace for you
and so come here to wash away...away my sins

Malvasia
05:52
|

|
Sweet red alcoholic desire, erotic taste on your tongue
Falling asleep in your arms, a cruel life? No more
Praying for the light to come every day and every night
With the hope of a chance to see my smile in your eyes
But now I am alone, I cannot take it anymore
Where is my red glass and my wine of the same color
My thoughts flow as it does in the glass of my life
I want to scream the truth
In vino veritas Malvasia
Warmer heart, warmer blood and confusion in my head
All my passions, all my fears, I'm telling of my lost love
No one here to listen. Everyone here to judge
But I won't say the false
In vino Veritas Malvasia
My questions are for you now, morbid goddess of your kind
Spread out your wings of blood, red as the delicious wine
Your answers written in blood, in the moon, in the sky
For you and only for you now Malvasia I would die

Flebilis
03:14
|

When little illusions become reality,
so imperceptible you cannot smile for them
A choice is gone time before you believe in it,
but we're all half winners when it's time to
pay for our mistakes and our losses you cannot hide
the scars when they still bleed.
My father said "You'll always be alone."
And he was right. I know,
I know he said the truth,
the truth about the pain again, and then I fail again
and the new hopes again,
something that makes you shine through
the night again, and then the day again,
the sun goes down again,
the time hits hard when you need to rest
Just when you need to rest
But in the end you'll understand,
that is the light so... flebilis

Still Falls The Rain
03:23
|

|
Now that I'm writing all seems so clear,
like washed by the rain and stained again by my fears
But the memories don't lie and the colors won't change
No rainbow for me, but eternal grey
Lost is my sight in the drops on the window,
the thunder and the lightning are now symphony and picture
The ink slowly flows, drawing streams on the sheet,
like a tear from the eyes cold and dead on your lips
And the tears from above, the rain from inside
Afraid of your love and my wings won't hide
myself from the world laughing outside,
again the dark clouds, the rain and the night
Silence now, and listen to me!
The noise of the wheels of the caravan in black
I leave now my room and take my black stick
Follow the damned now... the party has left

The Seed Of Dreams
05:39
|

|
I dream yellow leaves alone in the wood
I now want to know where the dreams come from
Dreams and colours, voices and laughs,
visions and nightmares disturbing my sleep in the night
But when I wake up, I need to remember
Need to rest some more maybe to see how the story ends
And now comes the light,
I'm in the real world and real time,
for fears and desires
reign and dwell in the seed of dreams
Time to think - maybe my fears will come out
And to choose - dreaming of questions
Think of me - I open my eyes in the dark
And water to my seed
E cado ancora nel sonno profondo
con tremori e sudore nasce e cresce il germoglio
di un seme che l'uomo è costretto a interrare
I piaceri e le angosce lo accompagnano a riposare
Non chiedermi dove, lo spazio è infinito
Non chiedermi quando, qui il tempo ha fallito
E il fiore appassito di un sogno ormai infranto
petalo dopo petalo affoga nel vaso
The light of the sun
The fear of the night
It's time to wake up
and live the real life
Time to dream - images and passions take life
And to see - before your eyes
Soon with you
And more water to my seed
The light in my eyes
Again in the world of the time
For passions and desires
Will always remain just as long as you'll stand
.. by me
Time to see - maybe my dreams will take life
And to say
Take my hand
Our warm embrace is the choice
You my seed

That's me, that's you. So cold, you're pale (H.S.)
Here is me, here are you (M.)
My revenge is a curse, don't you know this is your end (M.)
Here ends your life (M.)
Are you sure you made right? (H.S.)
Are you sure you made wrong? (M.)
Nightmares take life (H.S.)
Dark waves of past (M.)
And flames of time (H.S.)
Corrode your life (M.)
They open scars taken away from your mind (H.S.)
The blood from the scars, it digs a grave on your face (M.)

Highly experimental band with a powerful atmosphere. Usually the band plays very orchestral doom, but even when they don't,
they still incorporate a lot of instruments along with the normal guitar, bass and drums. Examples of this is an organ and a piano. The music varies from mid paced tempos to slower ones. Influenced by gothic/doom, melodic death metal and experimental music.
