2. On the Verge of Changes
Music: Rafael Basso
Lyrics: Rafael Basso
Dreadful blinding syndrome
Of a so long given life
To a half dead personage
Of my poor life act
If it weren’t you
Then I could undie in peace
On my own resting
By the lake of the eternal youth
Your silence terrifies me
I feel you no longer in me
But where is the moon
Has she given place to someone else?
If I lose my ground
There you are to hold me tight
The solid stone fortress
Mistress of my fateful destiny
Then I can stand up
No more on my knees
Introspectively looking down
Dishevelled thoughts of mine
If it weren’t you
Then I could undie in peace
On my own resting
By the lake of the eternal youth
Your emptiness fills me
The night was left alone
Full of unlit stars
That illuminate the darkness not
If I lose my ground
There you are to hold me tight
The solid stone fortress
Mistress of my fateful destiny
3. When Flesh Becomes Spirit
Music: Rafael Basso
Lyrics: Guilherme Augusto
Reflections on the wall
Eyes surrounded by fear
Temptations contemplating my loneliness
The darkness embraces my heart
Whispers in my room
Sick pictures of the past
Flooding my eyes
I can hear all those cries
Confusing me, blinding me
Immortality making flesh become spirit
Cries from outside…illuminating false memories
Confusing me, blinding me
Not the love
Not the blood
Not the hate
Not so cold
Open your eyes
All senses clean
Decide what you believe
Take my soul, take my blood
Fulfill my dream with sorrow
Embrace my life with loneliness
Take my soul, take my blood
I can’t take this anymore
I can’t die anymore
I only live if you kill me
And set my soul free
And when I die
I should cry
And show myself some pain
To give a chance to save my soul
Confusing me, blinding me
Immortality making flesh become spirit
Cries from outside…illuminating false memories
Confusing me, blinding me
Not the love
Not the blood
Not the hate
Not so cold
Open your eyes
All senses clean
Decide what you forgive
Open your eyes
Don’t ask me why
The love will end in rage!!
4. Fragments
Music: Rafael Basso
Lyrics: Aline Basso
Forgotten memories
That look for me no more...
Don’t bring me pain anymore…
The pain and the bitterness
Of uneasy memories that come galloping
Like Amazons dressed for war…
Fragments of you…
Where are you, that don’t hear my call?
Don’t you sense my solitude?
Don’t you feel my pain?
What have you done with the dream of ours?
We’ve read our poetry in the dark
We’ve bathed in bile
We’ve fed with kisses
And we’ve dressed in touches
Softly we’ve risen and levitated
And sung and cried and died…
Resuscitating every morning…
With each gaze, a touch.
With each touch, a kiss.
With each kiss…
Ecstasy…
Committed pain, with our mistakes
Committed sorrow, with our fears
Committed love, with our madness…
Your presence… Immortal…
I close my eyes and have you in me
I breathe and your smell hallucinates me
Your voice cradles me
My heart breaks…
Fragments of me…
We sing our fears till dawn
And scream our dreams
For the heavens make them possible
And lose the enchantment…
We silence our love
For magic fills our eyes
And only they speak for us…
Ecstasy…
Where are you, that don’t hear my call?
Don’t you sense my solitude?
Don’t you feel my pain?
What have you done with the dream of ours?
Committed pain, with our mistakes
Committed sorrow, with our fears
Committed love, with our madness…
Sublime presence of your soul
In my poor heart…
Fragments of you…
5. The Dark Night of Reality
Music: Rafael Basso
Lyrics: Guilherme Augusto
Fragments that isolate me from myself
Fragments which have formed
The unreal unity of a hallucination
The level of dementia
When mind binds itself to this alienation
Becomes a prisoner of this apparent liberty
In the uniform lucidity of my closed senses
I have broken with all possible fascination
And I can see the true brightness of the essential night
The shadows are the way to perceive the reality
Seeing the night and the nothingness of the dark
Seeing the realities of my hallucinations!!
And this inaccessible domain of nothingness
Gives me all the insanity of my mind
And all the illusions of my passions
There is just one word that summarizes my experience …Unreason!!
The dark night of reality
Surrounding the images of madness
Giving them an invisible authority
Creating a character of blindness
Delirium, the principle of madness,
Joining the figures of night
The power of day
The forms of fantasy
The active colorful presence of hallucinations
Linking the dark with the forms of light
And this inaccessible domain of nothingness
Gives me all the insanity of my mind
And all the illusions of my passions
There is just one word that summarizes my experience …Unreason!!
The dark night of reality
Surrounding the images of madness
Giving them an invisible authority
Creating a character of blindness
6. Ephemeral Lives
Music: Rafael Basso
Lyrics: Aline Basso
I write your name in the snow
While I burn your kisses in the bonfire
Your lover has still not awakened
From her bygone dream
Ephemeral lives
Reflected in a past that doesn’t exist here
Anguish of a time that passed but never existed
The solitude of the eternal quest
I want to burn my rosary
Which doesn’t exist here
And burn your drawings
To be remembered in the future
That doesn’t exist here…
Silence
While I write your name in the snow
While I see your face reflected in the stars
While I try to cry
Tomorrow, maybe?
The snow could have melted
The bonfire could be extinguished
And I could be awakened to the past, present and future
That do exist here…
Silence
While I write your name in the snow
While I see your face reflected in the stars
While I try to cry
I want to burn my rosary
Which doesn’t exist here
And burn your drawings
To be remembered in the future
That doesn’t exist here…
Silence
While I write your name in the snow
While I see your face reflected in the stars
While I try to cry
7. The Weight of Life
8. Cry of Dawn
Music: Rafael Basso
Lyrics: Aline Basso
Nude afflicted feelings
Felt in a confusion of words
Nude afflicted...
Joined bodies in the warmth of the cold wind.
Joined minds in search of nonexistent.
Full moon of pain and passion
Waning at sunrise...
Desperate search for the love that hurts,
That doesn’t come,
That doesn’t exist...
Cold lights slide across the cold penumbra,
Onirical kisses silence the pallid face,
The blood flowed down the mouth...
Conflicts in red bodies
That discolor at dawn.
To feel...
Affliction and passion and reason and pain...
Fainting at the first song of dawn
Full moon that sinks
Into the immensity of dreams and thoughts,
Pain that sinks
Into the immensity of feelings...
Joined bodies in the warmth of the cold wind.
Joined minds in search of nonexistent.
Full moon of pain and passion
Waning at sunrise...
And nothing else exists...
9. Pain and Pleasure
Music: Rafael Basso & Felipe Grisi
Lyrics: Guilherme Augusto
...And you can’t see my eyes
Imperious, choleric, extreme in everything
The dirty element that gives pleasure
But what would pleasure be?
…And you can’t feel my arms
Embracing your madness
The strong element that gives pain
But what would pain be?
...And now you can feel my lips
Silencing your screams
The taste of evil
But what would evil be?
…And now you can feel your wounds
The open gates of pain
That never intended to heal
And now you know how deep the pleasure could be
Dor, sou teu amante!
Ardo em teu corpo
Vibro com teu prazer escaldante
Gozo, mesmo sabendo que sofro!
Because what would pleasure be
If it were not accompanied by pain
...And now you can feel my lips
Silencing your screams
The taste of evil
But what would evil be?
…And now you can feel your wounds
The open gates of pain
That never intended to heal
And now you know how deep the pleasure could be
Dor, sou teu amante!
Ardo em teu corpo
Vibro com teu prazer escaldante
Gozo, mesmo sabendo que sofro!
10. Ten Rainy Summers
Music: Rafael Basso & Felipe Grisi
Lyrics: Guilherme Augusto
Empty words burned inside my mind
I saw blood in your eyes
I felt fear in my cries
Sometimes I wonder why
I guess you did know
While the rain was falling down
While you were whispering those words
I died in my soul
But after ten rainy summers
I’ll feel great
And I will hide all my tears
After ten rainy summers
After all these years
After all these days
Waiting for false memories to become real
Forgetting the guilt that was not mine
I tried to murder my memories
Assassinated the sun, eliminated the rain
But some things just don’t change
And I felt my pain again
But after ten rainy summers
I’ll feel great
And I will hide all my tears
After ten rainy summers
11. Hollow Nights
