WOLFSHADE (A Werewolf Masquerade) She brought the Night hidden in her sad Wolf eyes The perfume of a twilight, her strongest scent Half Wolf, Half female - what a strange wedding Mother Nature has offered us to see... Her mask lays lost in a fatal dawn Closed were the eyes of the Sun. He sleeps. And in the name of Her Father. She will kill. My child kills. You nightly birth. A requiem God can't forget. For your life is just a celebration of his death Without his thorns in her heart. She wears a shadow as face. A werewolf masquerade. In her eyes the wolfshade. She brought the Night and by the night was brought We are but children of the powers she had set free Strange are the ways of the wolfhearted... LOVE CRIMES The cold nights have awakened Me The soft winds to undress Me The nails of two witches hav touched Me Their caress cuts like the sharpest ice Yes it is their way, this so mysterious way of welcoming Me, welcoming Me Their way to remember Distant nights of Passion and Doom Where, naked, have I bathed in velvet waters Witnessed by an accomplice smile inside an innocent Moon Serene were the beings who guided Me Empty were the hands which undresses Me To carve strange symbols unknown to Me but lay so dearly inside of Me This is my way, this so mysterious way of welcoming She, welcoming She My way to remember Distant nights of Passion and Doom Where, naked, have I bathed in velvet waters Witnessed by an accomplice smile inside an innocent Moon Serene were the beings who guided Me Empty were the hands which undresses Me To carve strange symbols unknown to Me but lay so dearly inside of Me This is my way, this so mysterious way of welcoming She, welcoming She My way to remember Distant nights of Passion and Doom Where we both wore flesh crowns to defy The skies in their blue and so vague tyranny We are mute villains drinking of Love as insolent Vampires Valsing through stars and skies at that and all to come Winter nights Like neophyte ravens in the strangest nest Charmed by the wilderness of this strange host Drawing naivety with our blood and semen Ritually engraved in our hearts and chests Marks of a pain, signs of a love crime That will forever and never last It is our way, this so mysterious way of loving of welcoming thee, welcoming thee Our way to remember Forever lost nights of Passion and Doom Remembrance served in cups of sorrow and pride For all the eternities we'll still cry For having lost amidst the stars our bride Untouchable in her smile, inside the great Silver Eye Every night she is condemned to shine ...OF DREAM AND DRAMA (Midnight Ride) You've no mother to feed you or to lick your so deep wounds nor Earth where to lay your timid crown You've suffered by your father and even the Moon lies to you When she shines... The seduction of an altar Is a weakness in her movements of Death It is a mere vanity of Woman to delay her midnight ride Suicide... Midnight ride... Beautiful dagger you may now leave your case Wild red tears at the lady's hand Kissed were her breasts with your sharpened face Given is now what Love had taken death and Love, they together danced Yes, the flames did smile to her Invited her to their fiery peace To a funebre dance around a bonfire Where all Women are naked and alone Immolating their pride May they forever ride. Far, in a midnight crime. Midnight Ride, Suicide, Midnight Ride... TREBRARUNA Trebraruna filha da Dor Guerreira sagrada, Deusa do Amor Trebraruna teu leito semente Acolhe-nos agora num muy doce abraço Trebraruna és Vida és Morte da Lua és filha, dos Lobos consorte Trebraruna pagão é teu ventre Ansiado refúgio de quem ainda te sente Viva! Trebraruna és tu quem nos gera Alimento teu seio d'Amor e de Guerra Trebraruna a tua voz é a melodia mais doce da nossa Terra Trebraruna nós tuas crianças Beijamos teus olhos cerrados com fervor Trebraruna cantamos para ti Somos teu eterno, fiel trovador VAMPIRIA Vampiria, you are my destiny My only Love and true destiny Vampiria... You're a beast, evil one Above your head lays a Star In your heart is buried the jewel of a Serpent who wished to die your red long tongue has her poison And you will spread it as you breed Conceiving the creed of all creeds Vampiria, fly Vampiria In your eye burn, defying All those who in silence sleep In a city once named Desire Dreaming with the entombed dear The lady has fallen in a blossom Spread far away by undesirable winds To females conspiring in gloom Hiding your pearls from the pigs So open your arms! They were shaped as wings A serenade of revenge draw on your lips The sombre hill you're staying in Is now defined And your Star had start to shine Depart now on your bright wings The world envy The skies have always seduced you Precious Queen and you know your time has come To fly away with Me, so far... AN EROTIC ALCHEMY Queen of all my sleepless nights For whose beauty I, Faun have played my pipes, with heart Queen in white silk, skin like milk Horns of Faun, lips of dawn You are now honoured you with my presence As I'm honoured by your sight I crown your perfection The predator in your breast, I devour "Tempted is now my light body" From where it burns spirals of exotic scents Rose, sandal, jasmine, all kinds of incense Aged fragrances only dreamed of once Dragons do dream far beyond the sense We make love in the dusty throne of a Modern Sodoma "Come to Me, step further into my nakedness Caress me in your breasts of Fire" "Breed my flame, have no fear or weakness I welcome you in my hole of desire" "Have me now, Prince, have me here" Your beg still whispers in my ear Daylight has broken into a strange nostalgia Night tired candles seem like two lovers Melt in a embrace of conspiracy Between us there is this strange chemistry but would you die for me? would you die for what I've longed to be? "Imperious, choleric, irascible, extreme in everything, with a dissolute imagination of the like which has never been seen, atheistic to the point of fanaticism, there you have me in a nutshell and kill me again or take me as I am, for I shall not change." (De Sade) "Breed of a nameless force, origin of our Sin We are as large as Gods, we are their tragedy We are the four arms of the solar Cross Lightning in incredulous faces the flames of Uthopy" Would you die for this? ALMA MATER Mother Tongue speaks to Me In the strongest way I've ever seen I know that she sees in Me Her proudest child, her purest breed She speaks to Me in colours That I can't really understand I only know that they are ours And to those I'll proudly bend For I am your only child And you my dearest mystery From an ancient throne I defy the world To kneel before the Power within. For I am your only child And you my dearest mystery World can't you see it? Am I alone in my belief? Virando costas ao Mundo Orgulhosamente sós Glória Antiga, volta a nós! ALMA MATER! Breaking waves announce my Bride It is the only way the Sea could sing Legends of Lusitanian pride He sings the words I cannot spring At the Moon Mountain six wolves cry Your lost glory we'll regain or die For I am her only child And she is my dearest mystery Pagan Gods in conspiracy For the sword of Tyranny Mother Tongue has spoke to thee In the strongest way they've ever seen World can't you see ? I am not alone in my belief. ALMA MATER! Virando costas ao Mundo Orgulhosamente sós Glória Antiga, volta a nós! ALMA MATER! Mother Tongue has spoke to Me In the strongest way I've ever seen I know that she sees in Me Her proudest child, her purest breed She speaks to Me in colours I can't really understand I only know that they are ours and to those I'll proudly bend For I am her only child And she is my dearest mystery From an ancient throne I defy the world To kneel before the powers within. For I am her only child And she is my dearest tragedy World can't you see it? I am not alone in my belief. Virando costas ao Mundo Orgulhosamente sós ALMA MATER!

Some cds just remain important in the history of metal. This really is one of those, which is clear the first time you hear it. It's a very cool and unique style that lies somewhere between black and doom metal, with influences from many other styles. It is very varying, with soft and hard parts, with clear vocals and grunts, some female vocals and lots of keyboards. Still the second part of the cd is better than the first (though the first song rules too...). If the first songs were as good as the last, this cd would have been rated 9 maybe 9.5 ... Rating: 8.5 out of 10
