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... Of this earth
Spread the scorn you have forget
