02. Crepuscolaria (Agony In Red Minor)

Lyrics by Fabrizio
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

03. Lady Lily White

Lyrics by Fabrizio
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

04. Fables

Lyrics by Fabrizio
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

05. Aloisa

Lyrics by Fabrizio
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

06. El Diablo Y La Luna

Lyrics by Fabrizio
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

07. Pure Treasure

Lyrics by Fabrizio
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

08. Green Orchestra (Sonata For Leaves & Trees)

Lyrics by Fabrizio
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.

09. Romanzo Nero

Lyrics by Fabrizio
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
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

11. Hall Of The Scarlets

Lyrics by Fabrizio
Hall of the scarlets, a silent dream
His star has set among amber leaves
Hall of the scarlets funereal whispers
A glorious portrait of death
