2. THE FLAME OF DRAGONIS

Two moons in cyclical motion
Shape the weather and the air
Cast a cloud that shadows the sun
Ashes reborn by its flame

And dream of a castle where the moonbeam lays to rest
Of a river where the sun would spread its rays
A place where the stars once crowned Artemis
And awake to witness the work of its blaze

He will crawl up your shoulder
And wisper in your ear
"Here I am king."



3. THE HAMMERED CROWN

A forging course, so proud
Adown the coal-dark ground
In all unquenchable fury
The caressing thirst for glory
A crown of unconventional shape
And beauty everlasting
Born of ponderous silence
And the pulsation of our blood

Great God Decadence
Celebrate the sour smallness throne

Like a tree, a river, the sear
Morning dew, a sentiment so true



4. THRAGEDIUM• AD ARMA VOCARE(PART 1) • AD ARMA VOCARE(PART 2)

When the world slips away
Just as it did this day
I crawl back into my shell
Is this the deeper I can go?

And silence sounds different
I take each word as a pill
To sedate me into sleep
A little sleep, a little slumber

And build of shadows my empires
Adorned with golden dust
Dessilusional birthplace of awe
I awake to a paragon of misery

In search for sanctuary
Unquiet stillness, silent chaos
pitch dark, deathly cold, so inviting
Here all light is vain, all beauty is lost...

from altered sanity, echoed a myriad of times
Hear this crying lines...
Tragedy
Sweet, sweet Tragedy.

6. DRACO SYMPHONIUM

Absent is now my bride
To the place of death, I was told
This misery river
My eyes can no longer hold

I suffer... for her loss
for her eternal fucking loss
We were so beautiful...

Hers is the heart she ripped apart
Hers is the soul that ever bleeds
Hers is everything that I will do
Hers is the will to forever remain

So look at me now...
This river has turned into an ocean
Beneath its calm, hypnotic water
I long for you, I feed from them.
So look at me now...
My loving twin soul, can you see?
I lived five hundred years ago
And returned to the other side... of God.
for you.



7. O ESPIRITO DO TEJO

"Tu, de quem o sol é sombra,
De quem cadáver o mundo,
Meus passos guia, aqui na sombra
O sentir-te, ermo e profundo

Presença anónima e ausente
De quem a alma é o véu
A meus passos de um consciente
Tão consciente que é teu

Para que, passadas eras
De tempo ou alma ou razão
Meus sonhos sejam esferas
Meu pensamento, visão

Bem sei que todas as mágoas
São como as mágoas que são
Parecidas com as águas
Que continuamente vão

Quero pois ter guardada
Uma tristeza de mim
Que não possa ser levada
Por essas águas sem fim

Quero uma tristeza minha
Uma mágoa que me seja
Uma espécie de rainha
Cujo trono se não veja

A madrugada irreal do quinto império doira as margens do Tejo..."
