Can you keep a secret? At night's darkest time Silent and barefoot I run ... I run While in dreams, everybody lie To be witness, to be witness My shadow makes no comments As I climb the mountains ... of life Or as I go down into the valley's depths To be witness, to be witness And there in the great blackness A rose starts to grow, giving life For a child to be witness Or leaving a man to die So I've been witness, so I've been witness So, can you keep a secret? -Latent Eclipse L: Claudio C. and Igor M: Igor L. The autumn comes back to my internal world I'm defeated by the life Each dawn awakes with the same tortuous feeling The same bitter swallow Chorus: I want to live no more With grief in my veins, without hope I don't know if you can understand me If you can help me Regrettably your ambitious advice doesn't help me Because it's in my blood Chorus: The fields of my rest My grievous redemption On thorns I will lay numb I draw a relieving smile while I bleed Love wasn't enough It's been tainted by pain Colours have turned into grey My farewell tastes like resurrection My days are cloudy, by this almighty depression Like a latent eclipse Condemned in my own essence, immune to the happiness I'm blessed by death Chorus -Vastness L: Claudio C., M: Igor L. The life is so fragile and our time here is so short Accustomed to this reality, we'll never touch the truth The vastness blinds us and our minds cry Cry under the insecurity of the unknown... unknown And what then comes? , nothingness, nobody knows Days, years pass and nothing really changes. We are waiting for a sign, but it never comes Our ignorance persists until the last moment on this world... this world. ..... We 're in grief and uncertainty... Chorus *2 Trying to define my true existence, My real life, but there's no light. Time doesn't stop, one by one we begin to fall Fears, cries for our lives that leave us without advice. And we think that, our existence is so wretched Day by day we walk to the end and we live only for dying ... for dying -Female Poison L. and M: Igor L. As I'm trying to approach Through this landscape of the unknown Whispers of the wise, in the air Love, sex, nature's traps for the mortal men Chorus: Female poison I will drink, And I'll die in your arms by ecstasy Female poison close my eyes Rip my veins with your condemned cries Try to understand with my logic What no logic can understand My naked soul, day by day weakens For your honey tasting blood Chorus I can't pretend It was not a surprise It will never end My frustration to own What I will never have... Have no excuse Just cannot lie This sweetness will never be mine Chorus -Consummatum Est L: Claudio C. M: Igor L. I'm weak... Exhausted by this feeling It is all over And nothing makes me change my mind Who are you? My god? Why me...? Why do you take my essence, away? Chorus: I deny your name; your death is my rest And your presence makes me hate all Annulling my bliss, breaking my unique peace You killed my love Chorus -Isolation L: Igor L. and Claudio C. M: Igor L. Isolating myself, from a thousand lies >From all those empty plights, avoid all that hurts No contact with external, entombed in my mind Coldness surrounds me, like a womb of thorns Chorusx2: Like a shivering stone Covered by a shivering hand A pale, static face, behind a misty glass Denying the ritual, erasing all codes Cast away from this, a world which I will leave Just longing for the call of my bitter god Chorusx2 Silently, Tacitly, in an endless row Ageless images, call you by an unknown name Endlessly in the hollow age, always to lie outside So it was written, so I will suffer -Essence L and M: Igor L. I send my cry too far (but nobody hears it) . Make me a mask of lies, While I'm searching inside. What lies within? Turn to empty words. How can I define? May I try to define? Life ... Mind ... and Soul Chorus: Life, Mind, Soul, It's all so confusing... A pale cold rhetoric... Just like an illusion... Of what I would like to be. My precious flame seems like Any futile light. The fellow man I deny A mirror of the shame I hide I hide... Try to conceal But my flesh will always be weak Dive deep into me Air lacks, will never reach. Chorus -Desde el Umbral L: Claudio B. M: Claudio B. and Claudio C. Mi Venus de marfil te agrietas Por las crueles cinceladas de la vida. El fuego de la pasión ha muerto, Y sus cenizas se enredaron en tu pelo. "Y me oyes desde lejos, y mi voz no te alcanza; déjame que me calle con el silencio tuyo" Yo me voy, estoy triste; pero siempre estoy triste, vengo desde tus brazos, no si hacia donde voy" Desde el umbral a la luz miro el trágico jardín de nuestra existencia, Y te observo mi árbol ajado, sufrir los azotes del constante otoño En cada hoja se va un recuerdo; la desmemoria cabalga sobre el viento, En cada fruto un dolor, que se aleja flotando en agua de lluvia. "Y me oyes desde lejos, y mi voz no te alcanza; dejame que me calle con el silencio tuyo" "Yo me voy, estoy triste; pero siempre estoy triste, vengo desde tus brazos, no si hacia donde voy" -Timeless Sands L and M : Igor L. Walk alone for years Through timeless sands The sun is my burden And the shame marks my path Life lies beneath Under timeless sands Barefoot on warm blood Sorrows start to grow... Sorrows start to grow! Chorus: Was my rest a sin? The weight of timeless sands I'd never felt Now is too late for me! Timeless sands ... bury me deeply... Follow my journey for a lifetime See my limbs, now they're weak A numb soul and a blind heart A life covered by sand. ..... Timeless sands ... x2 Timeless sands! Chorus x2 -Winds of July L: Claudio B. M: Igor L. and Claudio B. I'm in the abyss edge, betrayed and disappointed There's no reason for tying me to the organic I want to change ... from the matter to the energy A pure gloom's feeling, pushes me to the darkness Agnostic winds whisper in my ears, erasing my blame. Human; avoid me the suffering, animal; rip my flesh I look to the past and I didn't leave traces in the way My shadow leaves me and the sun denies me its light I'm just a dry leaf ready to fall, and the winds of July drive me ..... to my destiny Tears are the clouds, which hide the stars Begins the red rain, but I don't have fear Dear death ... hug me with your legs Give me peace, your blackness is my rest! -Ensoñacion L: Eduardo Z. M: Poema Arcanus Ajeno a tu entorno emerges bajo sombría evocación, Como ente flotante entre los inertes espectros, Abría su mano con ansias de palpar sus cabellos En la luz de lo real la pureza del deseo Coro : En este universo naces Cálida estrella invernal Mágica fragilidad del ser ..... Ensoñación fantasmal... Su esencia no alimenta tu atención pequeña estrella El jardín de tu presencia se marchita en el vacío del sentir
