Frostmoon Eclipse Gathering the Dark 1. Where No Light Burns [Music by Claudio, Lyrics by Gionata July 2000] Above the infernal storm of death I shall unleash upon mankind You'll see everyone who dies Slaughtered by time In the abyss of no return Where no light burns Until the last life on earth A fire shall be awoken! Our symbols, cold, go insane and distort Dark flames, like gold, burn the solitude of scorn Gathering the dark of being As a last way to escape Depraved, defaced... Our instinct replaced... Thousand weapons are in me... again Head to head to fight this war again Embracing and ravishing cold death. Cold death... Cold breath... of cold death... 2. Worms Of Mankind [Music by Claudio; Lyrics by Gionata February 2001] Clandestine dark night Red as blood filled out Red as the oath with death Red as chosen past I knew the truth inside my veins I saw their hatred spins twice in darkness When my blades were risen high ...and high! ...and high! I chose my path many years ago When I first knew about death... ...and its grandeur Just close a poisoned mouth Where are your endless purities You know what my life is made of Crawling blades upon you It's raining worms on mankind Where life seems to be black Thousand worms of impurity Worms on mankind 3. Dragon Millenium [Music: Claudio; Lyrics: Gionata September 1998] Through fallen seasons of thousand centuries I shoot myself into oblivion I'm awaiting your breath on my skin So my heart will turn black Let my dragon come back Feel the power from his black skin A dark caress of life A symphonic chant of eternity At the end of doom the pain never ends But your long awaited peace is far away from here Nobody can change the time has come Nobody can hear this illusion made sound Under fallen shapes of burning clouds I still feel pure hate and pain See the red skies on this twilight The death is free to come! I'm beaten by his power Dragon millennium comes out to scream He's devouring the shores of time... ...I praise his gloomy signs Under the dark of his wings Devouring human's creed On the earth his rest alive ...until his last sigh Dragon Millennium 4. Ashes [Music by Claudio May 2001] 5. I'm My Worst Enemy [Music by Claudio; Lyrics by Gionata August 2000] I refuse the whole life Covered by silver plains... I'm here beyond thy grief Of the unbounded witness Pierce me up! With painful blades... You deserve... evil feelings in me... I'm my worst enemy I'm the confusion I am your disgrace Of blood, of bleeding hands... Red as red wine I feel your divine Essence in blood Upon the shelter of god... Crimson colours of moonlight Storming through the veil of time Insanity reigns in my life 'Cause I've an enemy within. Crimson colours of hate and dread As a srange dream lurked in earth Nailing the supreme essence... of the night Could I have a nail more? 6. Let The World Burn [Music by Claudio, Lyrics By Gionata August 2000] Let all life fade away Hollow your heart by compassion A serenade which sounds black All around now sounds black Let the world burn! Leave this world without an end Because madness has arrived Riding the winds of times! Rebellion runs divine In the vein of a beast Which today has my name Rise up high my name! Rebellion runs divine In the vein of a beast Which today has a dream Rise up high his dream! I've dreamt about desecration, pain and doom (doom) The world of today covered by gloom (gloom) Pain without sense and fire for remedy Dark descended to cover the remains... Dark still descends to cover your remains... Let the world burn! Leave this world without an end Because madness has arrived Riding the winds of time! Let the world burn! I wait the world praise my name! 7. Dusk To Exalt My Triumph [Music and Lyrics by Claudio Febbruary 1997] Dusk is mine and it has come with death and pain All the blackness of these hills exalt my pride I've carved my sword in the snow towards the sky Gloomy howlings - wolves want me Darkened wings - thousand bats hail me To be their king - I'll slay Snow-covered land - I've come to rule Storming... grey castle old... for eternity my home Ancient walls... no storm could defeat them This is my first dusk since I died Wiser, guided by the wolf am I They are aware of the deep forest They will forever be my faithful servant I carve my sword in the snow towards the sky Take me - castle awaits Take me - blood is running We'll light a fire - to hail the moon We create fire - we'll burn the moon Ancient am I Mighty as never before Enchant the moon Destroy your soul ... and what was in the ancient past What they burnt in forgotten days ...And every night will have its will When the wintermoon arises ...High My spirit drowns in the abyss of cold stones Legions of werewolves hail my name Triumphant, with a scythe in my hand Laugh, seeing the abyss filled with angels... Dead Many years passed but I was not aware of the power that day by day was to recreate my spirit on this domain, this forgotten domain the mist will not allow any mortal being ... and what was in the ancient past What they burnt in forgotten days ...And every night will have its will When the wintermoon arises... High 8. Ruins [Music by Claudio May 2001] 9. Son Of Scorn [bonus track] [music Claudio '99; lyrics Gionata Febbr.'96/Octob.'99] When the man thinks to be stronger And the dream of power run into his vein The chaos rise from the blood of "Ira" My silent bright enthrone his freeble heart I saw the devil smiling I saw the immolations I saw the light in the face of death I blame I saw the universe... I am the son of scorn I saw the hunter, hunted by his prey I saw the wind, to blow-out from the earth I saw the light, eaten by the night I saw the death pregnant of life I saw the sperm red as blood I never see I saw the mother eat her son I saw the dead, arise from his tomb With the flames of hell deep in the flesh of sigh ...sigh When my eyes are black as the night And my heart is cold as ice And the dream of power run into my vein And become reality... I am the son of scorn I feel the evil inside my flesh I feel the hate, run deep into my vein I feel the flames of hell on my skin I am the power, I am supreme race I am the one who give the reason I'm the face of abomination... 10. Cold Silvery Eye MCMXCIX [bonus track] [music Claudio '95] 11. In Decay They Fall [bonus track] [music Claudio '98; lyrics Gionata June'99] Destructive as the flames of time Anger from my infinite night Like an armoured angel Like a beast with the devil inside I am thy war In decay they fall Regret and pain - deep as hell Tormenting power - like a blowing spell Forever I hear the way of splendour Forever I mean it like a true tormentor Rebellion and pride free to run This is my blasphemy for the sun... Regret and pain - deep as hell Tormenting power - like a blowing spell It's hard to follow... In decay they fall ...fall ...forever fall It's hard to follow The enchant of torment The will of perfection Agony of my life The light of thunder... in my eyes The pain deep under... in disguise Do you feel my pleasure? It's for you pain or life? Feel my unholy dominion, this power will be shine Forever I hear the way of splendour Forever I mean it like a true tormentor... Erected son...
