Vitium Intus 01:30
2.
Seeing what's not from this world To understand while other ignore Carrying an unbearable burden An infinite vicious circle Yelling all around me incomprehensible sounds Like dim lights of the night, distorting my vision The world behind is muddled by a phantom veil Where is hidden the secrecy of my past Rejected and left alone on my own I wiped away my tears, my fears And created this world of mine Where I'm the one and only divinity Why is it the end? Did I lose my mind? He saw things not from this world Understood what no one else could
3.
Vehement 04:34
Inhibition of thoughts excluding instinct Ruthless acts of vehemence Holy impiety directing vengeance Futile resistance eagerly repelled To assume it is the sole solution Or to expel, forsake then revolt Impetuously grasping unworthy lives Turning anguish into total terror Amorphous angel sculptures Shed tears of blood, eyes fixed upon Shelter seekers, unceasingly Clustering to flee, as frightened calves Demons within exhaust tolerance Imploded by rage, conscience trapped Subsequent pitiful lives taken away In a torrent of primitive strength Awoke, calm, but still Imprisoned by infinite reflections Repress the animus within, repel the envies of flesh Slowly dying of hunger, drowned in desperation Eyes see scarlet by the threshold Between sanity and heresy, an irreversible choice
4.
Delirium 04:23
Raindrops disturbing the slow silence of night Drunk again, I can hardly walk back home I feel a near presence I turn aside, a silhouette stands A child with the devil's smile Before me, plays his music box An uneasy feeling catches me, I panic I lose control, my skin shivers, I flee I wake up out of myself My senses are cheating me I'm cold and shaking I've dreamed a horrid nightmare Where the shades played an irritating melody Thousand of hands hold me nailed to my bed A dazing swirl of voices tell me to remain Hidden in the arms of this silent night Showing an unwilling face, I force my way out Taken by quavers, on the edges of madness Sharpening my nerves I curse God's name, 'cause my life's fake Release me from that burning grip That holds my sanity confined Far off my glance & mind If I commit suicide Will I be released? Intersecting disharmonic notes Drowning my soul by force Towards my prisons, my suicide
5.
A forsaken nobleman he was, 'til he met her Delighted by her talent his melancholy stopped His illusory glance, still attracted by the moon Brought her into his musings To a cliff above a lake, that inspired her Each month she goes there, staring at the full moon Where she composed her dark orchestra That drove him mad And pushed him to throw her down Under moon's veil a grand piano, Stood in a maelstrom of whispers There she sat, lacerated, a fallen goddess Played the sorrow of her death Then his heart faded, blackened Catatonic, he seized her masterpiece Giving birth to darkness In the form of an infernal ceremony Damned hearts were reduced to slavery Their souls imprisoned in instruments Theatrical lamentation In an amphitheatre bathed in moonlight Orchestrating his dark ambitions Eternally sought a way to her Transferring his suffering into music Played the sorrow of his death In a maelstrom of whispers An infernal ceremony Under an eternal moon of disgrace
6.
He awoke from a nightmare to another Where men murdered each other Mist covered the cadavers on the soil As if it were the end of war Stained by the blood, Emotions gone far away Believing that amnesia stole his mind Left with nothing else than emptiness Fighting his way forward Blinded by the thickness of mist Revealing only more questions Thus worsening his lamentations The fog silently dissipated Showing him a man he once knew Knelt, begging and crying Before a lifeless body Shouting still and still The man did not seem to hear him He approached to look Instead he stumbled upon his own corpse Fighting his way forward Towards his purgatory These words tormented him Perpetually, it can't be!
7.
The outskirts of a small resort town A supposedly haunted mansion Where no one came back from Sent to alter their fate, for honour or by death In the shade of a dark manor Human bodies were scattered throughout their way, silent Distressed, their conceited pride faded, almost all of them fled One too confident did enter And he screamed! Shrivelled in a corner, shivering, a woman, holding her heart in her hand Bloody tears dripped from her ebony tears, though, in her glance, dejection Bewildered, he conceived her feasting upon him Constrained to react, he ate her beating heart What was released from his hunger for blood Should have remained imprisoned within him Coming back different, his eyes cruelly enlightened In a labyrinth of gloomy dreams and horrid visions He realized his nightmares were in fact his felonies Constantly lusting a prey, avid, thirsty His hatred consumed his mortality Though, fear spread like plague, through human minds Men did not slow down, the rate of their manhunt Fought and overcame, chained then buried Forever or less
8.
A bitter poetry's forcing itself out of me An illusory power almost touchable My desires are beyond suffering An unreasoned duel between my selves I feel one of them strengthening It emerge, drowning it's other self with its twisted fingers I'm the catharsis of my old self My obscene wishes, from now on shall not be withheld anymore Phantasm, my love, about this power which lives inside of me Let yourself be cuddled by my obscure embrace Don't you feel my warm infected kisses? You dared! You didn't see how much I desired you You turned your back from me, from carnal sin You dared to want to leave me No! I could not grant you that Your place is close to me, in our bed Caressing your pale, blue skin So cold, without life Why? Suddenly I realize I'm powerless I just could not live without you
