1. Evil Gets an Upgrade
In the whirl of the time
Where you thought you would forget
But you will always remember
That... There is no god!!!!!!
2. There Is No God
We all... tried to touch the sky,
Every body attempted to touch the sun
To touch material without spirit
But all the time bitterness
Remained in their souls!
Through the ancient books
Of the lost kingdoms,
Through the golden book of the deads,
Through the obscure sight of hecate,
The insuperable goddess.
The god you believe in, the god you expected
The god you hoped for, the god you dream of.
Nightmares always to wake you up,
To remind you, you are alive,
A living dead who remembers
Would remember life beyond death!
An ungraceful body with a rotten soul
Which howls through it's leprous
Flesh that... there is no god!!!!
Your god is dead,
Your god a abandoned you,
Because you never trusted yourself
You always wanted everything,
Simply without pain, blood and pleasure!!!!
The god you believe in, the god you expected,
The god you hoped for, the god you dream of.
Blasphemy, your inaccessible dreams!
Hatred, your impious thought!
Irony, your ungraceful life!
Salvation, your ultimate sacrifice!
My name is fear
I come to remind you everything
I'm coming to remind you those
You try to forget,
Those you would sacrifice.
Ten lives, so as to forget them forever!!!
My name is anger
My name is hatred
Which reigns in your soul
Through phobias and shame
Through psychotic flickers
Through the maze
Of your rotten soul!!!!
My name is salvation
(and perhaps) someday I shall return
To save you from your passions
Torments and pricks of conscience,
To lead you to the eternal rest,
Endless peace, mortal calm!!!!
My name is death,
I come to take your soul,
Oh! Disastrous moment
I'm coming to decapitate you
To sacrifice this rotten corpse
And devour your damned soul!!!
I'll burn you in hell!!
I'll burn you in hell!!
Your god is dead,
Your god abandoned you,
You will always be ageing
But not dying,
Everlasting torment,
Everlasting lust,
Without pain, blood and pleasure!
Queer desire! Bizarre lust!
Queer desire! Bizarre lust!
We all... tried to touch the sky,
Everybody attempted to touch the sun
To tough material without spirit
But all the time bitterness
Remained in their souls!!!
Through the ancient books
Of the lost kingdoms,
Through the golden book of the deads,
Through the obscure sight of hecate,
The insuperable goddess!!!!
The god you believe in, the god you expected
The god you hoped for, the god you dream of.
There is no god, there is no god!!!
3. The Grim Palace
Leaden once but now grey - green
Because of the years
King Sarrob's tower rise
In the background dark, thick clouds
In the foothills of an inaccessible mountain
Which leans and its shadow covers
A dead forest that the imbeciles has burned
Streams full of lichen and moss
Full of frogs which with their voice.
Like being the ones who centuries ago listened
To the mystical ritual of the people that glorified
The dark lords like being a message for those to come,
And those to dethrone.
Shadow and silence wrap like a shroud
(the everlasting) castle, the king's tower
You hear only the wind blast
Like an eternal conqueror with his whip!!!
Whipping walls rising
Wishing to demolish
Wishing to liberate souls
Worth of eternal peace!!!
Here then lives a love
The king looking at the palaces (frescoes).
Looking at the unspeakable figures
Which slide on damp walls!!
(The) nights that the full moon call you
(to its kingdom)
Recollecting mystical rites
Sung for them who live beyond (galaxies)
Beyond the forest of stars!!
Sing the strange hymn - sing the hypnotic psalm!!
The damned king Sarrob
The ruler whose dreams
Are occupied by full of nightmares
His tortured soul seeks for salvation!!
His thoughts deep in bottomless wells
His will dead and incapable
In front of the kingship of his wild rush
Like a living dead who looks for that
Which will bring him back to life
Like a wandering soul in
The labyrinth of knowledge
Seeking for the key of eternal truth!
Leaden once but now grey - green
Because of the years
King Sarrob's tower rise
In the background dark, thick clouds
In the foothills of an inaccessible mountain
Which leans and its shadow covers
A dead forest that the imbeciles had burned
Streams full of lichen and moss
Full of frogs which with their voice!!!
Sing the strange hymn!
Sing the hypnotic psalm!
4. Darkness Falling
Shadows without faces
Memories without emotions
Lust, desire, rain, terror,
A lake of fallen feelings
In your evil mind!!!!
Sometimes I feel the grief
From any creatures upon
The altar of sacrifice!!!
Sometimes I fell the fear
When darkness falling!!!!
5. Creation of Satan
Mind that shadow
That might follow you
Look at her fiery eyes
Listen to her whispering
Whispers of madness!!
An infernal creature
A miasma an impious being
Some abominable
Creation of Satan!!!
Mind those eyes
The eyes of a nightmare
Fall in the arms
Of despair!!!
She is waiting - beyond any concept of time
To give you - the kiss of paranoia
To drop you - to the darkness of loss
To worship you - like an infernal god!
Listen to the sound
Which gains strength in your mind
Its rhythm drives you crazy
Its intensity puts you to death!!
A horrible cacophony
A gathering of madness
That affects your mind
With damned intension!!
Deformed shadows
Demonic brilliances
Howling of the damned
Wake up the dead
In the night!!!
Lost in a maze
Of dark thoughts
With no hope of escape
You listen to
Choked by your sweat!!!
You are waiting for the moment
That all will be over
Absolute silence mocking
You know, it's coming!!!
You know, it's coming!!!
Terror, raider
In your soul
You can't hear your cry
Only the beats of a crying heart!!!
Only the beats of a crying heart!
She is waiting - beyond any concept of time
To give you - the kiss of paranoia
To drop you - to the darkness of loss
To worship you - like an infernal god!!
Mind those eyes
The eyes of a nightmare
Fall in the arms
Of despair!!
An infernal creature
A miasma an impious being
Some abominable
Creation of Satan!!!!
6. The Sign of Eternal Curse
So many different images
In the loneliness that kills
Waiting the time to strike
The clock of the galaxy to strike
The beats to be heard!!!!!
In dreamy kingdoms
In forgotten castles
In obscure ruins
I look for the key
Of the secret dragon!!
I look for it in virgin paths
In oblique cliffs
In unholy graves
In secret catacombs
Which oblivion has erased
From my memory!!!!
That which brings happiness - to others
That which brings the end - to me!!!
Ancient sign that rises
Natural phenomena that awake
Contracts signed by blood
Last wills never seen, under the light!!!
The last prophet has foretold it
But it was forgotten through time
The dark wizards saw it
But nobody believed them
Because the lived in the time of darkness!
Perhaps some day
We will be free from the curse
The secret will be revealed
And future will be present,
By bringing back the time!!!
I am surrounded by incorrigible scenes
Rustle of leaves without wind
Hope without luck
Waiting to meet you
My eternal destiny
But he won't let you
Aw he knows the dark secret!!
Me will be waiting for the sign
In the sky, the sea,
The four winds, the hades,
The abyssig horizon...
Where ever it - will be revealed...
Where ever it - will be revealed...
It must!!!
It must!!!
7. A Vision of a Nameless Soul
Far from the eternal horizons
Far from the gates of sleep
Guarded by unspeakable demons
(Where) I lived endless lives
(Where) I beheld the pale moon of sorrow
(Where) my agony ran away like a howl out of my mouth
(Where) my eyes were petrified by fear!!
I roam for centuries over the vast oceans
Under the fierce black clouds
Torn by lightnings and thunders
I saw the eternal kingdoms rose!!!!
I ran like a wolf
Under enormous trees of primordial forests
Where the leaves rustling
Cause a strange chill
Knowing that sometime it will appear
You feel its shadow and its grotesque sight
You are like a hunted animal
At the mercy of the ruthless predator!!!!
I traveled over snowy mountains
I was hearing screaming of pleasure and terror
When the night covered them and the sky
As a sweet lover, kissed their peaks
I crossed dead rivers
And out of cursed lakes - I saw!!!! - life!!!
I walked into vast deserted palaces
In endless chambers
I scrutinize occult frescoes
My tear was petrified by looking
At strange figures!!!
Everlasting melancholy, everlasting loneliness
Everlasting pain, everlasting blasphemy!
I saw life rose from the water,
I saw the truth i didn't wish to know!!!
I heard hysterical cries
Of invisible demons
Rose out of deep green swamp
In the vertigo of eternity.
How insuperable is my spirit's sin
How huge the size of my condemnation
No salvation I can find
I couldn't even remember
I couldn't even describe
I wish I could die - to forget -!!!
Everlasting melancholy, everlasting loneliness,
Everlasting pain, everlasting blasphemy!!!!
8. Emmersing from the Immortals
9. The King of Asine
We looked all morning around the castle
Starting from the shaded side,
There where the sea
Green and without luster - breast of a slain peacock.
Received us like time without an opening in it
Veins of rock dropped down from high above
Twisted vines, naked, many - branched, coming alive!!!!
Hollow in the light
Like a dry jar in dug earth
At the water's tough, while the eye following them
Struggled to escape the tiresome rocking,
Losing strength continually
On the sunny side a long open beach
And the light striking diamonds on the huge walls.
No living thing, the wild doves gone
And the king of Asine, whom we've been
Trying to find for two years now,
Unknown, forgotten by all, even by homer,
Only one word in the Iliad and that uncertain,
Thrown here like the gold burial mask
You touched it, remember it's sound??
Hollow in the light
Like a dry jar in dug earth
The same sound that our oars make in the sea
The king of Asine, a void under the mask
Everywhere with us, everywhere with us,
Under a name: "áóßíçí ôå� áóßíçí ôå�"
And his children statues and his desires
The fluttering of birds, and the wind
In the gaps between his thoughts,
And his ships anchored in a vanished port,
Under the mask... a void!!!
Behind the large eyes the curved lips, the curls
Carved in relief on the gold cover
Of our existence!!!!
A dark spot that you see traveling like a fish
In the dawn calm of the sea.
A void everywhere with us
And the bird that flew away last winter
With a broken wing a bode of life,
And the young woman who left to play
With the dogteeth of summer,
And the soul that sought the lower world
Squeaking, and the country like a large
Plane - leaf swept a long by the torrent
Of the sun with the ancient monuments
And the contemporary sorrow... sorrow!!!
Shield bearer, the sun climbed warring
And from the depths of the cave
A startled bat, hit the light
As an arrow hits a shield:
"áóßíçí ôå� áóßíçí ôå�"
Could that be the king of Asine.
And the poet lingers, looking at the stones,
And asks himself, does there really exist
Among these ruined lines, edges, points,
Hollows and curves, does there really exist
Here where one meets the path of rain,
Wind and ruin, does there exist
The movement of the face, shape of the
Tenderness!!!!
Of those who've shrunk so strangely
In our lives,
Those who remained the shadow of waves
And thoughts with the seas boundlessness,
Or perhaps no, nothing is left but the weight,
The nostalgia for the weight of
A living existence!!!
Shield bearer, the sun climbed warring,
And from the depths of the cave
A startled bat, hit the light
As an arrow hits a shield:
"áóßíçí ôå� áóßíçí ôå�"
Could that be the king of Asine!!!!
There where we now remain unsubstantial
Bending like the branches of a
Terrible willow - tree heaped in
Permanent despair
While the yellow current slowly
Carries down rushes up - rooted
In the mud image of a form that
The sentence to everlasting bitterness
Has turned to marble the poet a void!!!
Behind the large eyes the curved lips
The curls, carved in relief on the
Cold cover of our existence!!!
A dark spot that you see
Traveling like a fish
In the dawn calm of the sea.
A void everywhere with us
And the bird that flew away last winter
With a broken wing abode of life.
We've been searching for so carefully
On this acropolis
Sometimes toughing with our fingers
His touch upon the stones.
The king of Asine, a void under the mask
Everywhere with us, everywhere with us,
Under a name:
"áóßíçí ôå� áóßíçí ôå�"
And his children statues and
His desires the fluttering
Of birds!!!
Shield bearer, the sun climbed warring,
And from the depths of the cave,
A startled bat, hit the light
As an arrow hits a shield:
"áóßíçí ôå� áóßíçí ôå�"
Gould that be the king of Asine!!!
King of Asine, king of Asine!!!
10. Spirit of the Tomb
11. Angel of Revenge
I call (summon) you the unborn
The lord of the night
The ruler of the abyss.
I call (summon) you through
The silence of the viper
The crying of the dead
The pain of an injured cat
Through the mystic passage
In the land of dead
Trip to another dimension
(Where) meet the kings of elements
(Where) they define the power of gods
(Where) they define the power of gods
"He who once was an outcast
More villainous than divas guts
We appeal to you now,
Send the angel of revenge"
Behind the crystal dreams
Where revenge causes victims
Among innocent and guilty
Incorporeal figures
Get out of the shadow
Leading the dance of immortals
Spirits, fires, lightnings
I'm always seeking salvation
Nevertheless I end up
To everlasting isolation.
Archetypes of ancient rituals
And mystic, apocryphal knowledge,
Belief of some kingdom
Lost in centuries
My eyes never saw
The Promised Land
My look wanders
In dark places, unholy and abyssic
And when time stops
And the sunbeams
Pass the gates
Of the dark kingdom,
Of the folds of the mind
Covered with webs,
Then all the beauty,
Will overflow,
And the hope
Of a suffering world
My eyes never saw
The Promised Land
My look wanders
In dark places, unholy and abyssic
Send the angel of revenge!
