Wither now…

Velvet night falling
The moon as bright as your skin
I walk slowly towards you
Can’t find my words, and then…
Oh, then…

The one I killed the night before
He was your man, he was done for!
In his embrace I see your smile
That or his evil grin of guile
Made me fall, made me crawl, made me run away

I was sure he was coming after me
My “How d’ya like this?”: all I see
The sun outside barely shone
As I was beating him with the telephone

His blood was spilled, all over me
To clean it was hard, I am sure you see
Oh my god, he is dead!
Oh my god, he is back!

[Refrão]
How can I really warn her?
There’s a restraining order!
Oh, my! I must protect
her from this rising dead

I must be dreaming
Trick of light
So I went back to the disposal site…

[Refrão]

Things are worse than they appear
She is so happy to have him near

They all think I am crazy
But I must warn her now…
I have warned her now!

I swear I tell the truth!

(Written from London Mental Health Institute)

Velvet night falling
The moon as bright as your skin
I walk slowly towards you
Can’t find my words, and then…
Oh, then…

It is autumn and leaves are coming lifeless
And you slowly walk towards me
Speechless, ineffable smile shining
And you shyly look down
Only to stare deep into my soul again

There are no stars, and the moon is bright and the wind is cold
I feel the gentle touch of your warm skin
as you take my hand
And we embrace, and we feel our hearts will meld,
trying to break free from our chests in disharmonic beating

There is no such bliss in the world,
And I feel whole
And we kiss for the very first time
And I feel your breath louder as our lips go closer
And I feel whole
And I feel all is worthwhile
And I feel you are precious
And I am ready to give you my life

Abriu-se a terra
Fugiu o riso
E reina a escuridão

Abriu-se a terra
Caiu o brilho
E reinou a podridão

No, no, no
No fear in our hearts
as torn bodies rain down from the sky

No, no, no
No tears shed in vain
As laughter ceases and drowns in pain

No, no, no
No wounds in our skin
As open scars bleed without a sin

No, no, no
Don’t care ’bout the dead
As fiery gulfs burn all that is left

No, no, no
Do not try to run
As hungry dogs are eating your son

Abriu-se a terra

Negrou o céu

Desfez o homem

Sumiu a guerra

Ergueu o véu

All secrets laid bare
To our open starving eyes
with no motion at all

Once we were told
We were as brothers

And here I stand
Lamenting the ways of the Reaper
Why had his soul to partake
the darkness of the abyssal realms?
Why had his soul to go oh so soon?

Remembering the days of yore
Sitting in a rotten garden
Feeling his divine presence
All that I could ever ask for

And here I stand
Lamenting the ways of the Reaper
Why had his soul to partake
the darkness of the abyssal realms?
Why had his soul to go oh so soon?

When we stood in rotting Eden
In your shoulder I’d shed all my tears
You’re gone now, I sicken
And haven’t cried for years

My brother!
Why did you go so soon?
Why did you leave me here?
Eden now blooms white roses
But without you here
I surrender to apathy

Be this my last goodbye

This is what I am
Carved in divinity
This is what I am
Free from hipocrisy

Stupid illusion of men
All they see is pain
They try to hide
Sweetest sight
Of the blood that flows
They won’t let go
From their chains
They won’t see truth
If aught remains!

They won’t admit
The pleasure they feel
When they kill

Olha! A desolação chama!
Queima o útero com a espada incandescente!
Cospe nos lábios do Salvador
Que traz o homem ao erro recorrente
Não te cansaste, humano, de criar dor?
Diz-me, ser desprezível e doente,
Por que escorre sangue do teu amor?
Por que mascara o lábio vil com temor?

No matter how exquisite the wine
It will always feel bitter to lips
Such is the curse

Joy is always overwhelmed by sadness
Tears always follows smiles

All that is good is lost in the Hole of Madness
And its darkness will bring you down to your knees

Kneel down and pray
There is no way out
But the blade…

All my life
Through piercing knifes
All for aught
I always sought

‘Tis when life must cease
In cold winter breeze

If so that is
How come despair’s in your eyes?

My soul is no longer
since I bestowed thee my heart

I have never asked
Oblivion and faith
When all that I wanted
was to see your face
Once again…

In my dreams I seek the exquisite texture of skin
But her divinity was to be never seen
And the lustful flesh of her finely drawn lips
Charges at my heart, and torns and rips

In dark, it came
A rain of steel
Carrying out god’s will
Look out for who you’ll be
Lest you drown in misanthropy
This light, this light
Keeps haunting me

Heaven burns!
Pale-skies turned red
By the blood of the Nazarene
Cities fall!
The clash of god’s anger
Humans crawl!
How could I care that much?

Embrace, me, angel of destruction
I can’t pretend anymore
Vermins will always be vermins!
Bring me down sore

Come, o come
The glorious reign of fire!

Dance away
Arms of silken paleness
Streaming the air above her head
Necklace of golden figure
Ankh of loss
And waist of fiction
Yeah

Roam through the crowd
As the song moves your body
Yeah, oh oh oh yeah
Embrace the lurking shadow
Of your own dark existence
Yeah, oh oh oh yeah

Indulgence is your way of life
Bring the light towards the dark
Kill the summer, in the night
And dance, dance, dance away
