2. Crepuscularia (Agony In Red Minor)
[Lyrics by:Fabrizio / Music by: Alex/ Andrea]
Like a rose in bloom among the clouds
A precious ruby flaring on celestial canvas
Vermilion magma
Carpet of fire, incandescent petals
Drowsy sun lies down in a blood red sea
A scarlet shroud in front of me
Igneous flag
Rusty water lilies float on wine
Twilight is nothing but a blazing red dream
A burning fresco work of art in magenta
Duskier moth shall looms out of crimson winds
To hang with black the sky
Dark wings in stanched red coral lymph
Battlefield drenched with blood
Majestic slaughter
Dusky sheeps graze on cerise meadow
Zephyrus breeze
Ridden by pollen
Spreads an ecstatic stardust
Flowers close
Leaves dance
The end of a gothic romance
Crepuscularia agony in red minor
Crepuscularia set the sky on fire
Crepuscularia agony in red minor
Crepuscularia black curtain drops
Venetian red bridal bed sheets
Indigo veils upon brilliant golden eye
Skyborn chrysalid
Violet veins painted on prussian blue sky
Zephyrus breeze
Ridden by pollen
Spreads an ecstatic stardust
Flowers close
Leaves dance
The end of a gothic romance
Crepuscularia agony in red minor
Crepuscularia set the sky on fire
Crepuscularia agony in red minor
Crepuscularia black curtain drops
Darkness smothered
Dying murrey whines
Spreading dark seeds
Among sunset remains
A war chant rises
Upon the grave
Infernal challange
Heavenly grace
3. Lady Lily White
[Lyrics by:Fabrizio / Music by: Alex/ Andrea]
White dove lay lifeless on a crown of thorns
Beside a broken sword
Whirlwind blew out a candle
Heartrending cry
Tears were streaming down her face
Cold dread of death black cursed embrace
An endless nightmare croacked on the brink of despair
She felt she would die
Her thoughts flew to his brave betrothed
It was so long ago!
Sweet loving eyes of thee so far from mine
She felt she would die
Sweetheart, my light cruel fate calls me to fight
Sudden shadows fell on me
Was the dream of white dove a message of thee?
You may be wrong
May he live long!
How many winters
What cold you suffered in the pale warmth of hope
Gloomy icy blast from battlefront
Blew his dumb ashes back to court
Atropos broke fine thread of his life
She felt she would die
Calling from the highest hissing tower
Corvine shades abducted her murdered soul
Birds of ill omen stained the sky
She felt she would die
Jewel, my love the war is calling from above
Sudden shadows fell on me
Was the dream of white dove a message of thee?
Was not only a dream
Of suffocated beam
Harmonic torment
Tragedy masked in romantic dress
The tower was calling...she climbed the stairs to breathe better the death
...and the heaven was bleeding
She dressed in snow flickering as lily in storm
Like a dove flew up
E i cielo tinto nel rubino
Stringeva al seno suo il muto giglio,
Spenta la rosa nel viso candido bambino
Ricamava la parca fatal il sigillo vermiglio,
Igneo affluente del gentil ruscel diamante
Dolce scivolava al freddo mar del pianto.
Fragil ebbro d'amor libravasi lo spirto vagante,
E la terra la bruma copriva d'incanto‰
4. Fables
[Lyrics by:Fabrizio / Music by: Alex/ Andrea]
Preparations are well advanced
Velvet palls and sweet jasmine smell
For marriage of heaven and hell
Vipers shed at once the skin
Now wicked clasps forgive all sins
Wishing you joy with much regret
Like a cross round the devil's neck
Deadly hatred has fallen in love
The upper crust
Feed on trust
And lies to the last
To wear the crown
Of kings and clowns
And always tell new fables
Still life
A masquerade to appear
Worm eaten apple
Shining like a star
Beware of
The forked tongued lambs
Guardian angels
Dig your grave by night
Enchanted by the gloss of silk
Trust build them a triumphal arch
While organ dirges their wedding march
For feathers dancing in the wind
Apparence is like a dazzling ring
But as you know roses soon fade
Even in fables ready made
Deadly hatred has fallen in love
The upper crust
Feed on trust
And lies to the last
To wear the crown
Of kings and clowns
And always tell new fables
Still life
A masquerade to appear
Worm eaten apple
Shining like a star
Beware of
The forked tongued lambs
Guardian angels
Dig your grave by night
And no wonder if the dumb will not be silent as the grave
None is so deaf as those that won't hear
All that glitter is not gold
5. Aloisa
[Lyrics by:Fabrizio / Music by: Alex/ Andrea]
Ye that now smile
In fronte of my colde statue
By blue musk veilede
Ye know not my sadde storie
I remember now the cold I felt
When your eyes turned
Towards that poisoned flower
I have dreamt of thee
I have dreamt of our serene past times
But they have passed, alas!
I have loved thee more than my own life
Now I wonder in the wind,
And I dream endlessly
I have slept no longer
I have spoke no longer
My name is Aloisa and I bring sweet perfumes and love
To sad ladies
6. El Diablo Y La Luna
[Lyrics by:Fabrizio / Music by: Alex/ Andrea]
Bolt from the blue
What Devil art thou?
Thy beauty make the bright stars dim
Moon blushes at the sight of thee
Silky lips full of fire
Auroral glance to die for
Dark nymph mirror of grace
Sweet lethal Cupid's dart
Thy breast and absinth
Evoke majestic dreams of lust
Of grandeurest royal palace
Liar of mortal sins
Cruel siren temptress
Skies too adore thee, goddess
Fiend angelical, was Venus dethroned
Tu eres como el diablo y la luna
And my soul flies to alabastrine clouds
Follows thy trail of light to moonshiny caves
Where love words dance like glowing fire flies
And echo spreads thy smell of paradise
Crown me thy king
And I'll rule my carnal nightmare
Or whip me as a slave
And I'll crawl to kiss thy feet
Cruel siren temptress
Skies too adore thee, goddess
Fiend angelical, was Venus dethroned
Tu eres como el diablo y la luna
And my soul flies to alabastrine clouds
Follows thy trail of light to moonshiny caves
Where love words dance like glowing fire flies
And echo spreads thy smell of paradise
7. Pure Treasure
[Lyrics by:Fabrizio / Music by: Alex/ Andrea]
I've found the rarest thing in the world
A strange fascinating light
It doesn't shine
But it perfumes like a flower
Growing everywhere and somewhere
Pure treasure
Like a pearl of dew
Innocent diadem
Of a divine crown
Its name is the name of a wind
With an enchanted breath
The flap of an angel's wings
A flower growing everywhere and somewhere
8. Green Orchestra (Sonata For Leaves & Trees)
[Lyrics by:Fabrizio / Music by: Alex/ Andrea]
Crystalline pearls are falling
On fresh leafy branches
Like soft emerald carillon
Tune up a faint damp refrain
Earth drinks the angels weeping
Poisonous essence dripping
Flora shelters the sprouting jewels
Crescendo of swarming tears
Rain streams from a grey flock
Freezing arrows through the air
As sparkling shell embraces the soil
Greenish parfumes ravish birds' voice
Musk viola solo gently whispers
A sea green ”cello plaintive theme
Twinkling arpeggios herbaceous tunes
Sonata for leaves and trees
Oh Green Orchestra lull my weary heart refresh my arid soul
Oh Green Orchestra your charming fragrance tastes of love like her ebony eyes
Pelting diamonds make forest precious
Instruments in bloom
Flash of blaze almighty growl
Cascade of glittering splinters
Musk viola solo gently whispers
A sea green ”cello plaintive theme
Twinkling arpeggio herbaceous tunes
Sonata for leaves and trees
Oh Green Orchestra lull my weary heart refresh my arid soul
Oh Green Orchestra your charming fragrance taste of love like her ebony eyes
Stillano in perle di cristallo
I vani sogni d'illusi cuori incantati
E s'infrangon sbocciando in languide voci
Dai profumi fatati
L'orchestra di smeraldo lontano sussurra
Brilla
E poi
Muore.
9. Romanzo Nero
[Lyrics by: Fabrizio / Music by: Alex / Andrea]
Piansero le deboli stelle
Tre angeli dipinti d'inverno
Fu il funerale delle rose
Ma nessuna lacrima le svegliâ
E gli occhi pensarono al silenzio
Che giaceva sulle labbra di cera
Per sempre
E le ali di neve
Di tenebra imperlate
Mai pié gridarono al cielo
Di fermare
La morte
Porteremo il nostro segreto lontano
10. Haeresis Dea
[Lyrics by: Fabrizio / Music by: Alex / Andrea]
Freedom wings as precious as slim
How many times were broken?
Poor in spirit overbearing
Sentenced exception to death
Stifled cries
Implored grey skies
Purification of fire
Heretical you're guilty!
Confess, abjure
We'll save at least your soul
Haeresis dea
Your time has come
Kneel and ask for mercy
Don't scream, don't cry
Never say die!
Who preaches peace will never kill
Haeresis dea
Shouts rent the air
Raise your eyes to heaven
Pray to suffer the torments of hell
Can one be cruel in the name of faith?
White queen
Shows her usual smile
To hide bloody thorns
From her slaves believers
Stifled cries
Implored grey skies
Purification of fire
Heretical you're guilty!
Confess, abjure
We'll save at least your soul
Haeresis dea
Your time has come
Kneel and ask for mercy
Don't scream, don't cry
Never say die!
Who preaches peace will never kill
Haeresis dea
Shouts rent the air
Raise your eyes to heaven
Pray to suffer the torments of hell
Can one be cruel in the name of faith?
You stand accused for practising witchcraft!
Do you confess?
I beg your pardon
My tears don't lie
Oh please forgive me!
I don't know why...
I'm here...
Am I forgiven?
Don't lay the blame on me
If frost ruined all your crops
Torture it... I feel faint
Guilty
Witch
Haeresis dea was burnt at the stake
With thousands raped souls in bliss
