Lyrics


1. AT TRAGIC HEIGHTS

And the first went, and poured the vial upon the earth
And there fell
A grievous sore upon the men wich had the mark of the beast

And the second angel poured out the vial upon the sea
And it became as the blood of a dead man
And every living soul died in the sea

And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun
And power was given unto him to scorch men with fire

And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air
And there came a great voice
Out the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying :
It is done.

At tragic heights
A failure pure
Surrender to nothing
But the truth
Fall now, endlessly
Into the ashes
And dare to know

At tragic heights
She hangs from the stars
A requiem played
In a broken heart

At tragic days
The weight of truth
Trust no one but your own blood
Shade now, eternally into the hearts
And dare to be cruel

At tragic heights
She hangs from the stars
A requiem played
In a broken heart

At stars unborn
All has begun
At the shadow sun
Delirium

At tragic heights
She hangs from the stars
A requiem played
In a broken heart
In a rotten heart


2. NIGHT ETERNAL

Come morning, chalice of dawn
To crown the Sufferer in their glory
Come for we are failing
Come for we are waiting
For we are trying to breathe

First in the skies, apocalypse
Only your fury can set us free
Come for we are failing
Come for we are waiting
For we are trying to breed

Night eternal, our world is burning
Bride eternal, our world is dying

Come forth, for we are blood
And to blood we shall return

And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of saints
And with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus

Night eternal, our world is burning
Bride eternal, our world is dying

Night eternal, our world is burning
Bride eternal, our world is dying


3. SHADOW SUN

In your soul time
When you're closing down
Shadow sun
On the white sleep
Of death
I am standing still
In the blackest rain
Denying you
Breaking day

In the name of nothing
When we break apart
I will raise the dead
The chain of lies
I am freezing over
Crystal mountain
Cloud of darkness
Defeating pain

And then you fell
Becoming darkness
Shadow sun

In your soul time
When you're closing down
Shadow sun
On the white sleep
Of death
I am standing still
In the blackest rain
Denying you
Breaking day

In the name of nothing
When we break apart
I will raise the dead
The chain of lies
I am freezing over
Crystal mountain
Cloud of darkness
Defeating pain

And then you fell
Becoming darkness
Shadow sun

Life is meaningless


4. SCORPION FLOWER

Curse the day
Hail the night
Flower
Grown in the wild

In your empty heart
In the breast that feeds
Flower
Worn in the dark

Can I steal your mind for a while?
Can I stop your heart for a while?
Can I freeze your soul and your time?

Scorpion flower

Token of death
Ignite the skies with your eyes
And keep me away from your light

Surrender tears to
Your mortal act
Flower
Cursed by the fruit
Of your courage last
Of your grand finale
Flower
Crushed in the ground

In your empty heart
In the breast that feeds
Flower
Worn in the dark

Can I steal your mind for a while?
Can I stop your heart for a while?
Can I freeze your soul and your time?

Scorpion flower

Token of death
Ignite the skies with your eyes
And keep me away from your light


5. MOON IN MERCURY

Medusa caught in the mirror blade
Expression burnt in the waters red
Under her wing born all the same
No dreams of rising for the kind of Man

Moon in mercury

Queen of the deeps in dust portrayed
The broken heart never hesitate
Gone down the tree to draw the first blood
A revelation with every cut

Infidel to all creeds
Breaker of all vows
Enemy of happy ends
Confident to the dead

Moon in mercury

This is my body exhausted in a ring of fire
When you take it your eyes will be opened

Moon in mercury

This is my flesh consumed by the ring of fire
When you taste it your eyes will be opened

Moon in mercury

Red in the waters
Black in the mirror


6. HERS IS THE TWILIGHT

From shadow born
Not a single reason
To go on
Darker days ahead
We forgot about
When too far gone

In her twilight time
Testimony of skin
A ghost in the train
Cursing us by

From shadow bound
What's left of life?
Remains of the earth
That once we called home
But our hands expired

In her twilight time
Testimony of skin
A ghost in the train
Cursing us by
Hers in the twilight

From shadow torn
We know it's too late
Darker days arrived
Our times of plague

In her twilight time
Testimony of skin
A ghost in the train
Cursing us by
Hers in the twilight

The scars of the earth
Won't heal with light
These are twilight times
Thes are scars of mine


7. DREAMLESS(LUCIFER AND LILITH)

They thought that love was sacred
Until they met the desecrator
A sea of poison came in between them
And there was red on the ground below

They can not breed
Bound to never rise
Their lies will be repetead
Forever

Now they're dreamless
Straight into the dark clouds
Never come to back

They thought there's more
Than meets the eye
In face of beauty all men are blind
And the gates opened to let her through

They can not breed
Lost in the crimson skies
The nights in our hearts
Will last forever

Now they're dreamless
Straight into the dark clouds
Never come to back

Now they're dreamless
Forever


8. SPRING OF RAGE

In your every moment
With your every breath
Even far away
Your eyes are rays
Disputing my darkness

In your darkness hour
With the dying sun
Preying all alone
Your lips the downfall
Colouring my days

As if in a spring of rage
Your fury and beauty would incarnate

In your every movement
Lays a cruel fate
Even from a distance
Your hands of doom
Disquieting my darkness

As if in a spring of rage
Your fury and beauty would incarnate

As if in a spring of rage
Your fury and beauty would incarnate

Release my pain

Widowed in the whiteness pure
Clouded captive by the moon

As if in a spring of rage
Your fury and beauty would incarnate

As if in a spring of rage
Your fury and beauty would incarnate


9. FIRST LIGHT

Somewhere inside a soul
A shadow is taking over
My questions are being answered
An act of courage
My story is being told
Somewhere inside thes four walls
Another war has begun

The prodigal son came home tonight
To slay his father
And drink is blood

Noite eterna
Primeira vida
Ainda por revelar
Noite eterna
Primeira sombra
Ainda por revelar

With the violence of a first light

With the violence of a first light

Somewhere in a rose of death
A leader is being followed
His cities are catching fire
But he doesn't hear
His people screaming

Somewhere as the morning breaks
Steps are heard in the shattering glass
The bride to be returned to the feast
To make love end

Noite eterna
Primeira vida
Ainda por revelar
Noite eterna
Primeira sombra
Ainda por revelar

With the violence of a first light

With the violence of a first light

Hordes of the shadow sun
Afire with the intuition
We are a race of sorrows beholding
The tear and the wear of the earth

Fist light, cursed be!
