Adagio - The Mirror Stage

[Verse]
What is that shape in front of me
Spying through the looking glass ?
This figure is haunting me,
Aping my every gestures,
Stealing my soul, my self,
The presence of menace is lurking
Behind the translucent surface
[Chorus]
I can't face that figure
Who looks like me, like a twin.
Who is in the mirror,
The similarity,
It can't be me!

[Verse]
I can't acknowledge that individual;
That reflection in the mirror is not my Own:
The beholder may perceive the evil spark
In the clearness of the eye,
Mirroring the darkness of the heart,
The horror!
And yet who can it possibly be?

[Chorus]
I can't face that figure
Who looks like me, like a twin.
Who is in the mirror,
The similarity,
I doubt it can be...

Adagio - Underworld

Like the serpent crawling in filth
Murdering yourselves, feeded by spit
A darkened candle you have lit
Why all these sad smiles look so fake ?
Preaching the evil, providing death
Oh my sons, are you awake

How come your world is ruled by hate,
Unholy children in madness state
Chained to the suffering, guardians of Nihil
Blessed are the souls from Underworld

Facing the gates of my world,
Only the pure, the stainless eye
May enter or may die,
Paying the price for the blind

I feel like I've been abused,
A fool god, treated by slavery
The creator, bewitched by his ones
The servant of his child

Show me how,
You will find,
The final peace for your mind
As I watched you from above,
I'll let you rest in Underworld

Nature is dark, coldness is blowing
Shadows of ancient secrets surrounding,
Tears of the fallen angels whispering,
This minute is the last,

And as I dive into dead water,
I can hear the voice of a thousand sinners,
Trying to reach the distant border
Finally leaving their faith far behind

Adagio - The Inner Road

Red clouds always surrender to the nightfall.
But still there is a million ants,
swarning on the ground.
Spirits will come in a blurred shape
I just have to wait, it's a matter of time.
Walking through the fields of light,
I can free myself from my soul
Fly away my pain on the wind.
The divine breath of night
Entices me into the maze of my soul
For truth an inner struggle
Of which I'm the keeper.
Bear witness to my strength
waking in me, leaving my weakness behind
For truth an inner struggle
Of which I'm the keeper
As a new life runs into my veins
I just leave the past behind
And on the wings of hope I try to be
Walking through the fields of light,
I can free myself from my soul
Fly away my pain on the wind.

Adagio - The Stringless Violin

Now the time has come to face, my untold fears
Every waking hour, drained me through the years
So that I'm not one with myself my strength, my gift
Is destined to be forgotten
I have seen the world begin,
in the mirror of the past
I pray the life giving force
still holds the strength, to last
As i lay dying
I understand,
The reason for my life
My fear slips away, the new world begins.
In a darkened corner
The horror that waits for me prey's on my only success
Save my innocence
Keep the darkness from my door
I have seen the world begin,
in the mirror of the past
I pray the life giving force
still holds the strength, to last
As I lay dying
I understand,
The reason for my life
My fear slips away, the new world begins.

Adagio - Introitus/Solvet Saeclum in Favilla

[Verse I]
Ashes surrounding me
Nothing else, but darkness, blood and pain
My determination will prevent you to outlast
[Verse II]
After so many years of disgrace
I feel my hatred becoming mightier
Corrupt your soul, I will
Never ending my pervert plague to flow

[Bridge]
Spread your wings and follow me higher
Leave the dark beyond, repent you Sinner

[Chorus]
Leave our souls in peace
and pray for us to die bravely, O lord I've sinned
Salvation, wisdom and Forgiveness,
I dedicate my death to implore your pardon,
I can't find my way, tracked down by my fate.

[Verse I]
Reign over the world I will
The mandrakes of death I will seed
I'll kill and probably I bleed,
Spreading impureness on your fields

[Bridge]
Spread your wings and follow me higher
Leave the dark beyond, repent you Sinner

[Chorus]
Leave our souls in peace
and pray for us to die bravely, O lord I've sinned
Salvation, wisdom and Forgiveness,
I dedicate my death to implore your pardon,
I can't find my way, tracked down by my fate.

Adagio - Next Profundis

Crossing the borders of an enchanted dream
Silver dust falling on my hands
Empty spaces of a new horizon
Frontiers to another land
See the stars come closer,
Enlightening your desire
Follow the wisdom of the light

I'm not afraid, take my hand
Show me what's behind the end
Oceans of pureness might stand

[Refrain]
Is there any reason to fall,
Cross oblivion, meets the afterworld
Mesmerizing sights of unknown angels,
Takes me away to the next profundis

As abstarct as it can be
I see myself lying in the underworld,
Nothing seems real over me,
But still I know my shadow's watching me

Kingdom of sleep, deepness of earth
I will let time decide for me
The promised land I will find,
When Cronos will steal my mind

[Refrain]
Is there any reason to fall,
Cross oblivion, meets the afterworld
Mesmerizing sights of unknown angels,
Takes me away to the next profundis

Adagio - Promises

[Verse]
I've been waiting so long,
To see the moon rising by your side,
How many days, since you're gone
I've cried so many times,
But I've spent so many hours to hide,
The tears I had in my mind

[Bridge]
When will I see you again,
Give me a last chance to make
Love, with you forever and ever again,
I miss you,

[Chorus]
I can't feel pain anymore,
I'm just lost in a world of sorrow,
But I will wait the hour
To set your heart on fire

[Verse]
Mountains of ice i will cross
Fountains of gold I will find,
To give you some presents,
As precious as you

In endlessly I will shout,
Your name in the silence of night,
To exorcise my thoughts, as a prayer

[Bridge]
When will I see you again,
Give me a last chance to make
Love, with you forever and ever again,
I love you,

[Chorus]
I can't feel pain anymore,
I'm just lost in a world of sorrow,
But I will wait the hour
To set your heart on fire

Adagio - Second Sight

I foresee ages of chaos,
But my ordeal has yet just started
For these ominous signs,
Are bound to plague me
Haunt for centuries to come,
My healing incantations
Are destined for failure
My unremitting warnings and threats
Will go unheeded, such is my curse.
Why should it be incumbent upon me
To redeem their faults ?
You, The one who spurns the past
Are now, But worthy to be last.
Thy choices are errors;
I shall thus abandon thou
To thy gloomy fate.
I can see the future
In the light of the past.
I cannot stop this ineluctable doom
From raining over the world.
Alas, this obnoxious portend
Will turn out to be abiding truth.
From time immemorial,
Man has taken refuge in oblivion.
They've exchanged there future
for the present enjoyment.
Nothing will change, History has set
Her implacable march into motion.
There will be no escape.
You, The one who spurns the past
Are now, But worthy to be last.
Thy choices are errors;
I shall thus abandon thou
To thy gloomy fate.

Adagio - Seven Lands of Sin

Golden Tears
Form from my eyes,
The blast of sand on my face
Marks the beginning of my punishment.
But now it is too late to regret.
Wandering the labyrinth of tears
Scaling the pyramids of despair,
The gods have now decided my fate
I have to go through the seven lands of sin.
The breath of air
Gets heavier and heavier.
My body and soul
Are torn apart in turn.
Beholding the infernal ballet
Of the roaring elements
I'm left facing my fate
Like a helpless slave.
Wandering the labyrinth of tears
Scaling the pyramids of despair,
The gods have now decided my fate
I have to go through the seven lands of sin.
Encounter with the Wind God
I yearn for conquest and blood
Once again I become a warrior
I shall not put up
With this sanction without rising up
Only blood will tell, pure or tainted,
Whose decision, will go unheeded.
The chaotic power of steel
Has just marked its boundary.
I fall, overwhelmed with pain,
Evil shall never prevail again.
Eternal Downfall
My agony shall linger
I beg for no mercy;
the six remaining lands of sin
That's where I'll wander
Bound with rage and dignity.

Adagio - ...To the Death

Your face is soft like wind
My hands want to touch you
But my eyes don't find you
In this dark place...

I look at the moon
And I see your cold beauty
The stars brightness is like your eyes
Deep and melancholy

Your face is soft like wind
My hands want to touch you

In this dark place cold like death...

Like the sad passion that I feel
Watching you leaving
To the death

I look at the moon
And I see your cold beauty
The stars brightness is like your eyes
Like the sad passion that I feel
Watching you leaving...

To the... Death...

Adagio - Your Soft Touch

Cold tears as the snow
My body feel the pain and the fear
I want to leave but I can not

I have sad dreams
My depression is insane
Drowning my feelings
Enormous emptiness of madness

Lucid and crazy
I become a martyr
For wanting what not I accept
The pain makes me sleep

The death arrives cold and silent
I feel your soft touch
Tearing my soul
Destroying my dreams

Darkness...
My eyes can see

Sadness...
Is what I feel

Pain...
Calming my soul

Fear...
Silencing my destiny

Cold tears as the snow
My body feel the pain and the fear
I want to leave but I can not...

Adagio - Sanctus Ignis

Looking for sanctuary is not what it seems
A journey for all, in there distant dreams.
The voice of a wise man
singing in there hearts.
Your pride is your mentor,
honor is where it all starts.
Now the wind has changed
And the fear in your eyes
plages your soul, to make your fire
burn with rage forever after
Your caught in the web of desire
The will of man
And his quest for perfection.
Exept the truth,
In the silence of the moment
What you don't know now
you will witness someday
And what you don't feel know
will be, your liberator.
Reach out and take, what is yours
Now and forever, and evermore

Adagio - Red Flowers As the Passion

In days of solitude
I see my sadness
Printed in my face
Sweet tears I drop
Such beautiful feelings
Suffering...

Alone and sad
Always along
I deeply breathe and leave

Everything is far away from my reach
Alone in the middle of this beautiful green
Landscape I see...

Flowers - Beautiful flowers
Flowers inside of my heart
Flowers - Beautiful flowers
Flowers - Red flowers as the passion

What do I fell
What I am?
What do I make?
Where am I going?

'If you were here
You would feel what I am felling
If you were here
You could see it with me...'

Flowers - Beautiful flowers
Flowers inside of my heart
Flowers - Beautiful flowers
Flowers - Red flowers as the passion

Adagio - Romantic Serenades in the Dawn

I hear sad...
Serenades in the dawn
Romantic echoes...
In my mind
Sweet melancholy...
Of this life
Flowers that sleep...
In my garden

I hear sad serenades in the dawn
Romantic echoes in my mind
Sweet melancholy of this life
Flowers that sleep in my garden

The perfume of the roses
Wakes me up of my dreams
Flowered roads I travel to find a precious
answer of my deeper feelings

I appreciate and I love the nature
The wind softens my soul
I open the windows of my eyes

To see the soft shine of a pretty day of sun
Illuminating the dawn of my dreams

Romantic Serenades...

In the dawn...

Adagio - A World Dreams

Come, my child
Take my hands
I will take you to the world of dreams...

The skies are purple
Feel this wind that touches you
See the birds and observe
They are flying round about you

Feel my touch
To dream you have to sleep
Travel with my words
My sweet child
Take my hands
Come, my child

Now see...

Such a blue world
Green the trees are
Immense it is this garden
The wind and the rain
They have just one colour
Play with the feelings
Without hurting yourself

To dream you have to sleep
Travel with my words
My sweet child

Now feel
This world of dreams is yours
You just have to dream

A world of dreams...

Adagio - Beautiful Like Sadness

I see you, my beloved
I brought flowers to cover your body
Beautiful and cold flowers
Cold like your soul

The tears that I cry
Sweet tears of love
You sad beauty
Beautiful like sadness

I contemplate your face
Inside a coffin
Pale like the moon light
Moon that saddens me

I see you, my beloved
I brought flowers to cover your body
Beautiful and cold flowers
Cold like your soul

Now I'm alone
Alone to find you
Alone to cry
Alone to die with you...

Adagio - Darkness Forever

In your mind
As a sweet madness
The deepest feelings
Trying to find an answer
You cannot see me
You cannot touch me
I am what you most fear
I am you

You...

Scream for your name
That I will hear
I am always close to you
But there is not a way to see me

All your fears
As an infinite nightmare
Destroying the dreams
Feeding the illusions

Out of your reach
Your last hope
Close your eyes and come to...

Darkness Forever

Adagio - My Last Good-Bye

I sometimes think
that the life is eternal
I sometimes think
That the death is too...

If these are my fears
Why then will fear something?

Life is not a nightmare
And death doesn't make me suffer
It stamps all my secrets
Ending my destiny

Which I will never avoid...

My last good-bye to everybody
My last good-bye to all my friends
To my parents and my loves

My words are my salvation
I save my soul from darkness
And my tears which
I have no reason
Reason in dying for passion.

Adagio - Ocean of Tears

The sea
Is a sanctuary to me
I see 'The Waves'
Wetting the sand
I walk on the water
To suffocate the sadness (that I feel)

I died here
In this sombre sea

The sea cries like me
With the deep eyes
Of a blue ocean
An ocean of tears

Shedding them on my tomb
A wet and cold tomb

I still feel waves
Flooding my coffin
My sailing leaves to the death
A melancholic and cold death

Alone!

Submerged in sadness eternally...

Adagio - Panem Et Circences

All we ve done is provide them
With food and mindless entertainment;
They easily renounced their liberty.
Hence deprived of will of their own,
Lobotomised, forced into docility,
They were turned
into obsequious slaves.
We ve taciltly accepted
this preposterous situation
In the name of that
accursed social cohesion
Now they will tolerate no subvertion
Retaliation is out, of the question.
They ve insidiously concealed the truth
Ostensibly in the cause of Equality:
We ve been coaxed into lethal apathy,
Desperately clinging to an abject safety.
Loathing our predicament
in this inimical world,
Stultfied, we are unable to regain
our blighted hopes.
We ve taciltly accepted
this preposterous situation
In the name of that
accursed social cohesion
Now they will tolerate no subvertion
Retaliation is out, of the question.
