- 2000 - Passage To Eternity
Dark and tearing...the sound of a world that irradiate my dimension
Melancholy and sadness...behind the veil of this old Earth without hope
This entity approaches me and grazes my life
Destiny attracts it to a new birth
Obscurity and anguish dissolve and with them the distance between the two bodies
A wake of wisdom and purity envelopes the celestial encounter to seal an ancient and arcane joining
The passage is open...with it the hope of all grief's end
- Angelic Visions
Mother, I'm lying in the dust...I've forgotten what I am
I don't know what I'll be
The day you gave me the first dawn, has been for you the last dusk
Along impassable paths I've roamed and now I sense the end
A never grown child comes back to you
A soul too tired because of living, too tired to flee away another time
...to search a new way without you
- Breaking the Mortal Shell of Love
I lie still in his cell, so cold... so mortal.
My moaning heart speaks to you... so far away.
Never I will subside to him, because nothing can
part what we feel.
Be silent and kneel! Because you belongs to me!
I am the only truth you have to learn!
Mine are Life and Death! Mine all your feelings and your passions...
- Confutatis
CONFUTATIS
(Requiem tenebris: a requiem for darkness)
Dies irae, dies illa solvet saeclum in favilla. Quantus tremor est futurus, quando judex est venturus, cuncta stricte discussurus.
lacrimosa dies illa.
coget omnes ante thronum
- Cum Gloria
Carrus ignis
Vatis magnificus visus
Cum eo, frater,
Ascendi ad caelum
Vacuus a labore
Tanto peregrinari
Carrus ignis,
- Dream On
Dream on a new sensation far from this world...
Dream on a new life now close to death.
Drift your mind...
Drift your eyesight...
Joy for your doom, joy for your hideous doom.
Black roots of sickness evade from your mind.
Caught in the void of expiation lost in the gourge.
- Enea
Sit vita tua beata atque prospera
Atque sol poteat te osculari in omne punto temporis
Atque luna poteat te complecti cum te cubante
Atque poteas melior homo omne die esse
Neu respicere tempori anteacto
Ne suplicii vitae tangere
Atque dolor vitae pro sit per vincere
Atque non nosceat desiderium tempori anteacto
- Enveloped By A Conquest's Shadow
Slowly a fog dissolves,
while a shadow totters on an Earth
soaked in the blood of innocent martyrs...
...breathing an air impregnate of hate
and silent screams.
Through the residues of a desolated sight
he sees the body of his battle's brother.
- Fatum Iohanni
Fatum Iohanni
Giovanni dalle Bande Nere (1498-1526)
In frigore atque in gelo
In fatigatione atque in frebre
Lacrimas effudisti
Non tibi rersus solvuntur
- Il Magnifico
Il Magnifico
Lorenzo de’ Medici (1449-1492)
Potentia, sapientia, carmen
Quam pulchra iuventa
qui tamen fugit!
Qui vult laetus esse, sit:
De postero die non veritas.
- In The Garden Of Sadness
...Sad roundabout...as life passes by
Lost thoughts melted with my memories
...and my passions...and my aspirations...
...all gone...
as the roundabout turns around...
Like a child laughing and crying in the shadows of a life spent in ignorance
A great void surrounds me while she entangles and absorbs my mind
- L'elettrice Palatina
L’Elettrice Palatina
Anna Maria Luisa de’ Medici (1667-1743)
Defensor artis.
Ultima nobilis gentis.
Amavisti tuam civitatem
Et servavivisti dispersione formas artis
Pertinentes Florentiae
- Sanguis Vitae
Cold and gelid...
this wind carries away my soul and my heart to a way no longer mine
Time is still from a century and my feelings with it...
closed, aeons ago, in a cold crystal that can no longer shrine
Cold are my soul and my lost remembrance that, from years, drive what remains to a strange...
dark oblivion
Blood and life don't flow in my white and pale skin
Like a statue disenable to live, to love, to exist
- Soliloqium in Darkness
Light... no more.
I'll feel... the embrace.
I crawl inside where nonsense reigns.
Where lies the self?
Where lies the end? A crippled mind in a pale shell.
Night... how deep it seems to me.
How long's my death! How long's my agony!
- Soliloquium in Splendor
In every time and shadow
In every time of our lives
I'm on the road to nowhere
I'm far away so I
I'm living to pray
Every day goes to the line
In the same circle of time
- Subsidence
Now I see in my hand, in you, all the tears of a life.
In my life I've searched through the lies,
all I've felt I regret.
Rises the sun, flashes in my eyes,
disperses the last shades of light.
Torn inside... tears that cry... forever I bleed...
- The Inner Shrine
Portae Templi pandunt
Magnum cum splendore et potentia,
Vis exit ex animo
Gloriae alta virtus
Corruptio ex malo fugit
Non Velum verecundiae iam est,
Nudus contra nostra foeditate
- To the Last Breath
Two powers, two reasons to despise
two reasons to fight, to hold the truth.
Seas of thoughts that slowly rush
to mingle swords and blood.
The final struggle,
truth of lies that infects all the living.
Full of why, the knight's heart fights one of his twins.
