1. Tragical Memories
I can see blood
Tears and pain
Frozen faces too
Yet expressive
Like these paintings
Engraved in our memory
Which we're gazing at
In a deafening silence
I see your face again
Its angelic lines
Overcome by this evil spell
Which will do us part
Some would see in it
Visionary signs
But all this belongs to the past
This curse blinds us
Something makes me so oppressed
I thought I would see you in the darkness
Why has nothingness
Nothingness replaced your face
In your eyes
I saw my tragedy
In your tears
I felt how sad it may be
There is no place
For us here
No rule for memories
I long to bring you back to life
Whatever means I have to use
Black magic
Love
A mysterious cult
I don't care
I don't care
In your eyes
I saw my tragedy
In your tears
I felt how sad it may be
There is no place
For us here
No rule for memories
Sometimes I miss
All our memories
So unreal
But so deep inside
Deep inside
I miss you
So unreal
But so deep inside
My heart was ill
Tragical memories
Tragical memories
Why should we content
Ourselves with memories
Why do you think death
Gave you another chance
I don't only want
To make my dreams come true
Have you been brought back to life
To live again
I want to fulfil
My purpose in life
To live ordeals
Just to see your love
Stronger
To live for a dream
I leave that to the fools
To men
Are you sure these ones
Belong to the past
You are the actors
Of a dramatic tragedy
But let the show begin
2. Cursed Destiny
Two worlds are within me
They live together just as one
Giving the feeling of existing
And the means of ruling
I despise them both
Refusing to belong to something
As a dying slave
I have been reduced to nothing
Why do I still believe in this love?
This pathetic silly love
Selfish, coward and pitiless
This I've been
I believe in this love
Stronger by your treachery
Coward and pitiless
This is who I used to be
I feel human
Can't this love defeat you
You rule this world
And you pretend to set your people free
Leave me
Release me
Let me
Blossom for eternity
I'll show you the way
To free your soul
From these idols
Shall I reveal the truth
Or leave them in ignorance
These puppets want to be like you
And decide on their destiny
I despise them both
Refusing to belong to something
As a dying slave
I have been reduced to nothing
Your empire is but a shroud
By pure appearance
So deadly in the end
So morbid
So devastating
I believe in this love
Stronger by your treachery
Coward and pitiless
This is who I used to be
3. Seclusion
Through mysterious ages and places
Fights and tragedies play out
In front of us
With different meanings
Some fight to survive
Others to see a face
Which one is the cruelest
No one knows it
No one can say it
In this war
All your wounds will be mine
Your victory my salvation
For you I'm ready
To lose my mind
My death is your resurrection
I'm so eager to touch your skin
To see your eyes
To feel you that I kill
I kill
In this blood I can see
How hateful I can be
In the name of
In the name of love
I'm so eager to touch
your skin
To see your eyes
To feel that I kill
I kill cause the fears
My enemy
Is my own
I kill to see in his blood
How so hateful I can be
In the name of love
In this war
Your wounds will be
Mine
Your victory my
Salvation
For you I'm rwady
To lose my mind
My death is your ressurection
An appaling army is all over me
My companions are crying endlessly
Endlessly
Their nightmares come to me
Every time we try to fall asleep
To fall asleep
All the time
Their own death frightens them
Showing the weakness of humanity
But what is it compared to a ruined love
Burnt by the idols you venerate
I see the burning torches
Of my enemies
Sparkling in a fairy way
Till merging with the stars
Come to me wretched slaves
I'll fight to the end
Killing one man each day
Until I find you again
4. The Prophetess
Walking for you so impatiently
I know what you want
My roots are yours too
From that look in my eyes
You can really see
Men are noy like us
So will you sacrifice
And live on lies
Whatever is your request
I will comply
I don't think it will help you much
But don't ask me why
In return do me a favour
Open up your mind
Let me look inside
You
And dissect all your
signs
Why does she betray
Us
Why does she help him
Is her life so boring
Why does she want
To die
When I hear these
Words
Failure and destiny are
So linked
I stand frozen by her
eyes
Petrified like those who
saw Medusa
I won't reveal the answers
That I have seen in you
Go ahead and kill me
Because my life is through
She has this cruel beauty
I can't see you in her
But I know better than no one else
What is behind such a face
I have to slay her
Looking for my answers
I won't ask her anything else
Not even the end of my story
Has this world its perversions
As delicious as our own
How can we renounce to such gifts
Only to know the obvious answers
What matters to me is to find you again
The future is an insult
She's a witch
She has no dreams
I think she's jealous of us
Today she saw her murderer
She had no fear in her eyes
Would death be deliverance
I think so but it doesn't matter
5. Hope
One word
Just one word to exist
Precious as a jewel
Cruel as a farewell
Like an echo in my head
Showing your obsessions
All the hopes that I fed
Just can't be illusions
Hope
I refused to say it
Thinking it was
The only privilege
Of the weakest ones
Of the weakest ones
Not believing
In hope meant for me
That I decided
On my destiny
All these sufferings
I'm ready to endure them
Just to find you again
Just find you
Again
Now you hang
On this world
Like the condamned
Man clings
To life
You'll defend
The beauty
Of it
Killing the one
Who will profane it
Believe in the purity of
This world
As you believed in us
Running away fron your hate~
May be the way to save you
I often misused words
To define love
I burnt icons for you
I just need symbols
Whatever thet are
Why
I couldn't say
Why do people pray before a cross
Today mine is but a word
So pure
So magical
I wish it would last forever
Notre sang coule dans tes
Veines
Et pourtant tu oses
Encore esperer
Penses-tu reellement
Rejoindre ta reine
Crois tu pouvoir encore
L'aimer
Ou est passe ton
Honneur
Celui que nous t'avons
Inculque
Tu seras damne pour cette
Injure
A jamais renie
Nous graverons sur ta tombr ce mot illusoire
Ce mot qui provoquera ta perte
L'espoir
Hope
I refused to say it
Thinking it was
The only privilege
Of the weakest ones
Of the weakest ones
Not believing
In hope meant for me
That I decided
On my destiny
All these sufferings
I'm ready to endure them
One word
Just one word to exist
Precious as a jewel
Cruel as a farewell
Like an echo in my head
Showing your obsessions
All the hopes that I fed
Just can't be illusions
6. Crimson Tail
Madness fills the air
Easing your bleeding hands
Madness
Madness
Crying tears of pain
Dying in the end
Rescue me
Rescue me
What has bceome of our love
Deep rooted
Feeding my blood
Like a candle
Fading away
It's doomed to death
I can't believe
I'm losing you
This infinite quest led us
Away from our love
Our goal was in sight
Hatred and fears
Destroyed everything
Do you think you're back to life
To love again
And get another chance
I'm losing you
Away from our love
Enjoy your victory
Enjoy your pain
But never forget
That wounds leave marks
Forever
Our vengeance has come
But our hate will remain
As your dreadful
And eternal pain
You left me here alone
I'm lonely now
Tell me how you feel
Did you leave me for real
I left you all alone
With your bitter tears
I'm sorry
For what I've done
I know how you feel
Because I left you for real
Madness fills the air
Easing your bleeding hands
Madness
Madness
Crying tears of pain
Dying in the end
Rescue me
Rescue me
What has bceome of our love
Deep rooted
Feeding my blood
Like a candle
Fading away
It's doomed to death
7. Conception
Remember
Remember this passionate love
So innocent
We lived an immortal life
The pain still lingers
From this weird embrace
We still bear the marks
Of our vows and vices
Come with me
And rejouce in my tears
Let our bodies be one
In this last embrace
And the fruit of this union
Will live for ever
Heartbeats
Remembrance of suffering
This birth will bring
A sense to our fallen love
Despite of our lost illusions
I can smile and laugh again
The one I'll call my love forever
Forever will be by my side
'Till I'm dead and gone
I still hope
To find him again
To be his lover forever
Tender
Don't you see the evil in me
Ready to smother and kill thee
Growing stronger in a divine
Revenge
What an absurd love doomed
To fail
Don't you feel who I really am
The one who will destroy you
Don't spare them, don't spare them
Don't spare them, no way
They must pay, they musy pay
They must pay today
Everything in me
You don't understand
Are the first signs
Of my master's anger
Be blind and your pain
Will be so much harder
I'm the instrument
Of their creation
The mudering hand
Of their machination
Don't spare them, don't spare them
Don't spare them, no way
8. Enclosed
I can hear their laughter
Whistling in the wind
This is my punishment
The price of my betrayal
I can feel their hate
Floating in the air
I can see their faces
I can feel their fear
Death can' be a refuge
This is the sad privilege
I have inherited
For ever
Why can't I move
Everything's confused
How did I get here
Strange I feel no fear
My body's floating
The earth is moving
Oh set me free
Please forgive me
Come to me
My sweet angel
I will set you free
And I'm falling apart
Soon you will rest forever in me
Can't you see I'm falling apart
You will lay under sycamore leaves
Come I wish to die
I'll bring you to the kingdom you seek
In your last moment of reason
I can see your smile
Maybe you will know the peace
You always tried to find
I thought a fallen love
Would be enough for you
But you wanted more
Much more
You will never satisfy
Your craving for vengeance
Neither wil I
It hurts deep inside
In my agony
I see my enemies
They will be the keepers
Of my final destiny
This is the end of the play
Look around you
What do you see
Your quest has made you blind
And you will know this story
But don't expect compassion
Don't expect emotion
I have only death to offer
To spare her suffering
To prevent her madness
From killing her slowly
Forgive me my love
For this last deed
This is the only thing
I can give you
So the angels have forseen
Your quest has made you
Blind
