Lyrics


1. FATUM (INTRO)

(instrumental)


2. DREAM ON

Dream on...

Dream on a new sensation far from this world...
Dream on a new life now close to death
Drift your mind...
Drift your eyesight...
Joy for your doom, joy for your hideous doom

Black roots of sickness evade from your mind
Caught in the void of expiation lost in the gourge
As your body lies still
The chill of abandonment cuts you.
Blinded by the smoke of fear all hopes are... bound

Spiritus domini excubi nostras animas, ne umbrae
Multa nocte poteant nostri potiri
Mors nos comitatur, triste instat fatum
Taenebrarum ombrae involvant nos
In gelido amplexu

What is fate? What is the end?
A mournful life? A mournful lie?
Blinded by fear of by foul's desires


3. TO THE LAST BREATH

Two powers, two reasons to despise
Two reasons to fight, to hold the truth
Seas of thoughts that slowly rush
To mingle swords and blood
The final struggle,
Truth of lies that infects all the living
Full of why, the knight's heart fights one of his twins

Screams of regret
Sad and already done destiny declares itself
So lonely, so empty in a moment if innocence...
Kneels on what remains of his bloody body

Falling down in an endless time,
All thoughts become a lost farewell...
Stained with the tears of his beloved bride that,
From the threshold of the holy shrine,
Swears neverending love...
...And the final sight of his friend
Tied to his won doom

While he's trespassing the gates of the unknown
In search of new battles, in search of new lives
Close t exale the painful last breath,
Caught in the circle of forgetfulness


4. BLEEDING TEARS BY CANDLELIGHT (THE ILLUSION OF HOPE ACT 1)

The illusion of hope evaporates away in a far
Remembrance of a past that will never return
Black clouds fill my sight
Nevermore the meadows will bloom for me
Anguish pierces my body as I cuddle up under the
Shreds of Cosience.
Pain is all I fell...
Cold tears I bleed


5. AWAITING THE SOLAR AWAKENING (THE ILLUSION OF HOPE ACT 2)

(instrumental)


6. SOLILOQIUM IN DARKNESS (THE ILLUSION OF HOPE ACT 3)

Light... no more
I'll feel... the embrace
I crawl inside where nonsense reigns
Where lies the self?
Where lies the end?
A crippled mind in a pale shell

Night... how deep it seems to me
How long's my death! How long's my agony!
I wait... I crave for something
That can set me free...
That will make me feel... make me be

Emotionless... only asleep
I sense strange beings that graze my skin

Crawl... inside
Torture... my self
Hurt... my hands
Lick... my flesh


7. ENVELOPED BY A CONQUEST'S SHADOW

Slowly a fog dissolves,
While a shadow totters on an Earth
Saked in the blood of innocent martyrs...
...Breathing an air impregnate of hate
And silent screams
Through the residues of a desoleted sight
He sees the body of his battle's brother

Oh, my friend! How many pains and torments
Have you felt for a grain of conquest?
Moved into an endless whirlpool of destruction
Rendered immortal by man's greediness
Can you hear my voice? Can you hear me?

Slowly I perceive the agony,
The noise of broken hope
The melted emotions that convulsively
Slip in lunacy

The stench of hate and suffering, the mute screams
Of the forsaken breed
Life fallen into oblivion,
Perpetually torn and violated

Silent, immortal...
The pale Death laughs for our misery
Through the desolation I've seen
The vanity of human wishes

Only dust remains in the graves where I lie
The buried dreams of innocence
The gates of the graveyard open as Death leads
The soul to his eternal rest

Silent and still... the eyes look upon the motionless
Body of the friend
Burns the stake
Burn the grief and anger.
Burn emotion in the gelid mist... sensations
That will forever remain...
...Entangled in silence


8. SUBSIDENCE

Now I see in my hand, in you, all the tears of a life
In my life I've searched through the lies,
All I've felt I regret

Rises the sun, flashes in my eyes,
Disperses the last shades of light
Torn inside... tears that cry... forever I bleed...

I will be...

Mortified! Mortified! When I drop my destiny
Mortified! Mortified! Because my death is near
Mortified! Mortified! When I drop my destiny

What price I've paid to win?
I've lost my time in sins
I know how to search inside
I know how to search my life


9. BREAKING THE MORTAL SHELL OF LOVE

I lie still in his cell, so cold... so mortal
My moaning heart speaks to you... so far away
Never I will subside to him, because nothing can
Part what we feel

Be silent and kneel! Because you belongs to me!
I am the only truth you have to learn!
Mine are Life and Death! Mine all your feelings and your passions...
...So be submissive or you will repent!

Be submissive!
You will repent!

Nevermore... Nevermore... Cruel Master...
Nevermore

Now I can wait no longer
My love is greater than this material bars
No one can chill my bloody heart
So... like the wind I will blow far from here
I've heard your voice calling...
Your love has turned me into a dove
Together we will meet over the clouds
And we will be free forever
