1. Black Lady
Small frightened man
what will befall you tomorrow?
small frightened man
afraid of the moment when you have to die
you won't be able to tell night
from day and the earth doesn't care
Childlike, smiling and sad I will be eagerly waiting
to caress my love and kiss this life goodbye
oh, another man dies and the earth soaks his blood
Oh, my black lady
come to me and breathe deep into my soul
oh, my black lady
blow your ice-cold breath into my lungs
Now I'm inside of her realms
her night is so charming
I was never afraid of the shade of any God
so I can walk free
I send her love and rage
listening to my teeth rattle
her black fire is burning
black is the love she spreads for me
inside her black forest
all the trees are staring at me
smelling her dark lust rising
the doors of the temple are opened now
in her charming and seductive sea
all my dreams sink and fade away
I won't get back the time I've wasted
in the arms of death I am alive
Oh, my black lady
give to me your otherworldly love
oh, my black lady
you're a cold jewel in the night above
oh, my black lady
come to me and breathe deep into my soul
oh, my black lady
blow your ice-cold breath into my lungs
Oh, my black lady
give to me your otherworldly love
oh, my black lady
you're a cold jewel in the night above
oh, my black lady
come to me and breathe deep into my soul
oh, my black lady
by tonight be my lady of the lore
2. Shadows of My Life
When I was younger I used to believe
my life would get better as I lived
look at this old boy who is older inside
his inner hunger, I don't know why
they just wanted to decide for me
a new generation for a family tree
I got no results but I'm doing all my best
and I want a chance to try again
I don't care about fatherland
too many times he raised his hand
for a strong morality
he gave me no excuses
I'm sick of it all
and I'll never be quiet
there's no satisfaction in living this life
that brings me closer to a bitter disease
I try to forget but I'll never be pleased
I'm split inside but I try to be one
and all the colours I see they confuse me
no more reasons to stop running and to rest
now I've got a chance to try again
I don't care about fatherland
too many times he raised his hand
for a strong morality
he gave me no excuses
Shadows of my life
will my dreams come true tonight?
Shadows of my life
I'm telling you next time
Can you read this story inside my eyes?
Innocence's something I've been losing soon
I'm still screaming for all the lies that I was told
still they are trying to change my mind
memories to forget my tears
increasing my lust they will disappear
maybe it's time to rise and stand
behind my smile a desperate cry
memories will deny my past
I'm here to see and understand
I won't live for yesterday anymore
it's finally time to deify my body
Shadows of my life
will my dreams come true tonight?
Shadows of my life
I'm telling you next time
Shadows of my life
will my dreams come true tonight?
Shadows of my life
I'm telling you next time
3. Event Horizon
Bending and moulding the space to increase the knowledge of mankind
Event Horizon has reached the limits of the universe
Get on board and join our happy company
You will be able to see some things you've never seen
Stay with me forever
Liberate me!
The darkness that's inside of me
Liberate vos ex inferis!
The visions are now becoming clearer
you don't have to be afraid
It is just a coincidence
if everybody here has died
After being shown the very content
of their poor human souls
Yours is the power to destroy
either without or within yourselves
Stay with me forever
Liberate me!
The darkness that's inside of me
Liberate vos ex inferis!
4. Lancelot
Sorry for the time I kept you waiting
sorry for the silence you had to listen to
for the man who will fight to defend the good fellow
he will be precious and beloved to his land
for the man who will fight like the howling wind
his name will be written in the pages of history
for the man who will rise to protect his land
his will be the seat on the right of God
Slowly the night falls on me
silence and cold in my bones
I'm foreseeing omens here in the air and nothing seems to move
you and I
you are mine
oh, we're defenders of our land
and this will soothe my pain
and I'm still waiting
to put down my sword
far from my beloved one
staining the ground with blood
my heart's divided by two dreams
Rage taking over
the battle begins
I'm not the King
I'm Sir Lancelot
in front of the throne
I must kneel
legends are telling
I did it for real
I come to get you
I'm Sir Lancelot
before my enemies
I feel power
Sir Lancelot
Lightning is burning the sky
magical words are tracing my way
warriors are resting close to the fire
while girls dance all night
but I still wait to forget my damnation
Merlin cast spells for me
but he doesn't reveal
nobody's better now
Rage taking over
the battle begins
I'm not the King
I'm Sir Lancelot
in front of the throne
I must kneel
legends are telling
I did it for real
I come to get you
I'm Sir Lancelot
before my enemies
I feel stronger
Sir Lancelot
Rage taking over
the battle begins
I'm not the King
I'm Sir Lancelot
in front of the throne
I must kneel
legends are telling
I did it for real
I come to get you
I'm Sir Lancelot
before my enemies
I feel power
Sir Lancelot
5. Othello's Crying
Now the damage is done
no time for regret
but soul foreclosures
and the eternity to fall
My lover is waiting beyond the farthest places
so far away
the sun has made my eyes turn blue, and forced
and has forced my lips to pray
Here I stand
in front of love betrayed
while my blood rises
up to my head
all is lost
where is now the place
where their names can be whispered
starting revenge?
No, I wouldn't have believed this to happen
when I promised my heart to her
time will go by like blades on skin
and will cover my shoulders with dust and rain
Here I stand, facing love mistakes
while her life is running out of my hands
naivety's my crime, by punishment be paid
but somebody's forgetting my river of tears
My heart was blind
my eyes are crying
my self is dying inside of me
my heart was blind
my eyes are crying
my self is dying
Please wait
I'm coming close to you
towards that place
before we changed direction
My seas are still waiting for me
for the Moor of Venice forever sad
is violence worth enough
to recover the broken morality?
God tell me
6. Neptune the Mystic
You will realize all of your dreams here
By forgetting what they are worth
You will love each and every love here
By learning to love indifference
You will be given forgiveness
For all of the sins you haven't committed yet
Will your mind be ready?
Will your sky be big enough for its orbit?
Listen to this heavenly and hellish choir
Until your soul is totally impaired
Good and evil meet and balance each other here
This is the golden rule of creation
Behold the Great Contemplator
For such is its nature
For everything on earth and sky
For everything that's born will die
Neptune the Mystic dreams of you
And when you believe it's all over
We'll be ready to leave for another universe
Too far from everything you've ever experienced
Forever beyond understanding
Listen to this heavenly and hellish choir
Until your soul is totally impaired
Good and evil meet and balance each other here
This is the golden rule of creation
Behold the Great Contemplator
For such is its nature
For everything on earth and sky
For everything that's born will die
Neptune the Mystic dreams of you
Listen to this heavenly and hellish choir
Until your soul is totally impaired
Good and evil meet and balance each other here
This is the golden rule of creation
Turning your soul upside down
You will be shown the roots of creation
Behold the Great Contemplator
For such is its nature
For everything on earth and sky
For everything that's born will die
Neptune the Mystic dreams of you
7. If I Were Fire (S’i’ fosse foco)
If I were fire, I'd burn the world;
If I were wind, I'd pester it;
If I were water, I'd sink it;
If I were God, I'd plunge it;
If I were the Pope, I'd be gay,
'cause I'd torment all the Christians;
if I were emperor, I'd be good:
'cause everybody's heads I would cut down.
If I were fire, If I were fire
If I were fire, If I were fire
If I were death, I'd go to my father;
If I were life, I'd flee him:
I'd do the same with my mother.
If I were myself, as I am and was,
I'd take the young and beautiful gals:
The crippled and old I'd leave to others.
If I were fire, If I were fire
If I were fire, If I were fire
8. Changing Skin
Once upon a time I saw a mighty angel
Once upon a time his aura did shine
All the heavenly creatures came to see this angel
But now his glory is lost in the sands of time
Who am I? Why am I here?
What are you looking for in my eyes?
Am I the answer to all of your questions
Or an idol that tells you lies?
Changing skin, holy wine has made me thirsty
Dying like a martyr is not enough to be Christ
Changing skin, all this singing has made me deaf
Once upon a time I saw an angel and the angel was me
Once upon a time I saw a scary devil
Once upon a time his nails scratched my back
People were running scared when they saw this devil
But now his acts and thoughts are allowed to rule the world
Who am I? Why am I here?
What are you looking for in my eyes?
Am I the answer to all of your questions
Or an idol that tells you lies?
Changing skin, holy wine has made me thirsty
Dying like a martyr is not enough to be Christ
Changing skin, all this singing has made me deaf
I saw a devil and the devil was me
Being mocked, being loved, being despised and then forgotten
Is the doom of this clown with crazy eyes and cynical smile
I've been changing my skin
I've been changing my skin
