"...And when the Faun and the Nymph.
Saw that their beauty was greater than that of the rest of the spirits,
They begot their children themselves,
And copulating with men,
They spread their seed over the corrupt earth…"
================
Through a crystal
An elder can be seen…
Warming his limbs to the fire.
Now that he’s facing the end
He recalls through his eyes
Fresh
memories of his life and fall
This is a grey world
He thought as he looked around
And
saw a cruel humanity
He could see so much pain, cries of death
In
the crackle of these flames
The luring lips of death, Whispering her call
Like
a slight mist that surrounds him all
Recollections came to his mind. Of all his closed friends
And the wife who waits for him in heaven
I want you, love!
I’ll join you now!
He saw wars, women and children burn
In the crackle of the flames
(Solo)
He could see that it was much too late
In
the crackle of those flames
And he saw that his time was to end
“I don’t want to live forever…”
How many footsteps have I made to be here
How long have blind eyes guided my way
How many hands did I let go for you
How
many words didn’t I hear
Searching a shadow in so much sun
Under
your shelter I laid
Like a stone that’s falling… Into the abyss
My
heart keeps on running… As it gets to the end
Dream or reality? There are no willows in desert streams
Dream
or reality? Desert will be the tomb of my wish
Will I be able to take a look back?
Desert looks at me hungry again
Why did I leave the forest’s shelter?
Quick
fire burnt it from my mind
Searching a shadow in so much sun
Nothing I saw or heard
(Solo)
Like a stone that’s falling… Into the abyss
My
heart keeps on running… As it gets to the end
Dream or reality? There are no willows in desert streams
Dream
or reality? Desert will be the tomb of my wish
Over my footsteps I remember
Will the faded be eased by my tears?
Over my footsteps I doubted again
Will
the wind listen to my doubt?
Time will heal my bleeding wound
Time
will bloom what’s faded
When the night falls… The past returns…
It doesn’t let me escape… Aaaaahhh….
(Solo)
Midnight’s come
A Nightjar watches from the trees
Magic hour
Shadows wake up from their last dream
Vagabond souls cross eternity’s bridge
As the witches are shaking their hands
Moonlight reflects on the whole bloody scene
Sharing proudly in the ritual of steel
Fly! Over the seas. Carrying the secret of dark memories
Fly!
Beyond the dreams. Bring us the punishment by our heresies
All is said,
Dreaded countdown’s begun
In the mist
Only
a blind man could find the way
Horrible screams break the silence at night
While the fire is washing the sins
A man with two faces is saying sacred words
In a
strange tongue that’s lost in the time
Fly! My nightjar fly. Spreading your race all around our world
Fly!
To distant grounds. Where the hope of the men is still alive
Take my hand
Forget your beliefs
Jump into the fire
Flames will purge your soul
Now that’s time to die
Let your body burn
Let your mind be free
Kiss your last goodbye
Now your life is mine!
(Solo)
That night in the forest’s heart
There was a crime
Only a nightjar’s hidden eyes
Keep
the truth inside
Silent witness of the event
An aged bird
From that fatal night on
Nothing would be the same...
In the forest...
Ooohhh…!
Fly! My nightjar fly. Spreading your race all around our world
Fly!
To distant grounds. Where the hope of the men is still alive
Fly! Over the seas. Carrying the secret of dark memories
Fly! Beyond the dreams. Bring us the punishment by our heresies.
There was a man whose name the forest
Whispered and wandering thru tortuous paths
He used to show his disciples
The
burning fire that never dies
The wizard always walked on tops
Never
stepping on valleys
There was a man whose name the waves
Erased and wandering thru silver beaches
He used to show his disciples
The
tracks that never fade away
The wizard always walked on tops
And
his disciples smaller
And shaking his thumb he said:
"Imagination is the pleasure stinger,
But watch out! ‘Cos every
Pleasure aims at eternity".
(Solos)
Oh! Fallen light,
The earth trembles in your eclipse,
Forefeeling your coming
The
shadows wake up for you.
How did you fall from the sky? Shining star.
How did you fall from the sky?
You!
Son of the dawn.
How were you turned to the ground?
Conqueror of all nations.
How were you turned to the ground?
King
of kings.
All the potentates of the universe
Are raised from their seats
And all the kings
Are
challenged by your hand
How did you fall from the sky? Shining star.
How did you fall from the sky?
You!
Son of the dawn.
How were you turned to the ground?
Conqueror of all nations.
How were you turned to the ground?
King
of kings.
(Solo)
Your burning heart drove
Your last flight over
God of sin's stars
To
build up your throne
You who wanted to create
Over yourself and so,
You perished.
Rise
your hand and breathe.
Oh! Satan: Morning light,
Your breath fades the hope
Of those who killed in the name of God,
Like the wind Turns the tree with its
Invisible hands, Invisible hands…
Feel the sea showing its fury on strange shores
You like to be the ebb of its tide?
You gotta be a great sea not to get dirty
From
the man, oh! What a dirty stream
See snow-covered mountains on the horizon
Drilled through to shorten the path of men
Hard and expensive to make, but not impossible
Only
to arrive before at any place
Let Mother Nature guide all your steps
It could be fatal to fight against her
Let
water run and he will show you how, tonight
Feel the river enjoying its own flow
But man came and he changed it’s natural way
Fighting’gainst odd was never easy, no!
Any
dead fish lets itself flow down
Let Mother Nature guide all your steps
But watch out the flow you’re swimming in
Just
float with the clear currents and learn of their ways
(Solo)
Let Mother Nature guide all your steps
But watch out the flow you’re swimming in
Just float with the clear currents and learn of their ways
One damned day of hell
Behind the Ebro’s bend
Path
like a serpent melts in green
There was a spectral place
An isle beyond the seas
Where
the devil plays his symphony
One boat dances on water
A
strange lady breathes inside
She raised oars and rowed
And
she went on and on
What
kind of game she plays? Who knows?
The Fay’s cycle begins
Her dress changes like a wheel
Across the light, across the depth
She moves around the isle
As a clock rules in time
With
every lap death’s nearer
Pain turns black the water
One
more summer leaves those eyes
Look everywhere
She’s
fading away
What
can I say of life? It isn’t mine
Behind the sun,
I reached the point of no return into the land of the awake
From the emptiness…
Now I cross the door,
Human life is a reflection of the Fay’s demise,
Yellow Mouth spoke,
Don’t be afraid…
Now a kind of hell, remains there,
In my
head no more
With every breath I die, The end.

"...And when the shadows enlarged their members to hug the horizon
The nightjar sang to the night
And the night wrapped him in dark veils
He remain impassive, examining the bush,
‘Cos he knew that certain things
Are seen clearer in the depth of the night
Than in daylight..."
