Borderline (Secta Epilogue)

[Choir:]
Taste your frontiers
The journey inside matters
Deny these shadows of yourself
No chains can hold us down
With bright wings we'll fly
Sun reveals new paths

Tripartio divido rem
Quia trias sunt magnum opere fortes
Repugno Fortunae

Leave sufferings behind

Epos of Knowledge

Disarming Truth

An ignominious truth has been revealed
Unexperienced eyes widely open
Facing the last hope vanishing
Silent tears burn my overshadowed skin

This glowing flame my own flagellation becomes
As I witness your painful actions
Trying to open you the door to bliss
While you reject the help from my hand

Return to deceitful tears
The ones that caused
these neverclosing wounds

Time can heal when we learn from the past
How can you not notice you are going wrong?

Unknown's Heir Legacy

Never shall I do what I know I'll regret
Why be one of those wasting lives?
Keeping my shrouded words buried
as an amulet till my own frail fall

Anew you can find your arduous destination
even as clouded these sights are

Shall my legacy become your guide in your trip
To explore the greatness to live and die for

Sepulchal hymnes sound as heavenly melodies

Wave of Trust

Spirit of flame, scion of storm
Under trustful aegis grow strong
Faith enforced
Thoughts enclosed
Farewell, for more...

Love on a Paper

I’m sitting in my bedroom
dreaming about you
Dreaming that you are here with me
I’m gazing at the ceiling
Like we could do together
but you are away from here

I don’t need your body, a simple substitute
I need your heart, your eyes, your smile
Screaming your name inside my mind
Only whispers in reality

A word from your lips
Is like a gift from god
Or a knife that cuts so deep

How to kill my thoughts?
How to drown this inner flame?
Every ounce of me calls for you
Just one look at your eyes
And my heart jumps to the sky

But you don’t know how I feel
Or ignore it by will
In a million ways I could alter just for you
but would you even notice it?

This dream ends with a tear
A tear I cannot cry
For this love is forbidden
Doesn't let me speak out loud
My warm feelings for you
But my mouth is sealed by fear

Hope you find the path of bliss
Even if I’m not part of it
I know you can fulfill your desires
I only wish my soul was a part of you

When will I be able to say how much I love you?
When will I stop wasting love on a paper?

I won’t cry for attention
In silence I’ll stay if you want
But I’ll always think of you
while I’m sitting in this room

"written for someone somewhere in 2004"

Impedimenta (Secta part III)

Now that I am here
overwhelmed by my own fantasies
The purgatoric insight will soon end
before the gate of salvation
where the threefold path leads

The way in front of me
is clouded and hidden
Delusive walls cease
my cathartic trip
Leaving the last part incomplete

[Piano:]
Diversed by thoughts
Can I continue, take the next step?
Shall I stay here while comforting unconsiousness
Hides what I could learn?

Silent struggle inside my head
Echoing voices in this empty present
Shall I venture what I can’t afford?
A choice will make the difference
of what is indistinct and inefficient

A decision will guide me or mislead me
[End of piano]

[Choir:]
The blinding clouds must dissolve
Inertia has taken over us
Everything seems inexpendient
Raise your moral shields
Atavistic feelings we can confront


[Grunts:]
Its all perilous in this infernal cage
An endless hunting without a change

[Screams:]
Mortify your arrogance
And dare to challenge
your fated self

Morass in pure beauty, infection of our world
In this pendulum of life no scattered faith
I am not one more who failed to complete

Nature’s Last Call

Mother Earth please heal my wounds
Take my toxicated blood deep in you
Breathe in me the cold sigh you’ve left
And all wilderness can wake me up

To face the denying eyes
Closing in front of suffering
In front of our believes

Holy ground turned into sand
Rainwater burning lustful skin

So strong to be so weaken
So generous to be ignored
But she knows the way
Back to innocence

Leaves into ashes
Air into smoke

[Choir:]
Don’t pretend you are blind
Witness the unforgivable misery


Beings carriers of death

The past foretold the cutting from the sky
The wind will bring back life
And water will fill the holes
Fire shall burn all those sins

And the smile will fade
when we realize what we have done

And the sun just a blur light

The gift is still inside
Hidden by greed
Rays of compassion she beams
But we fail to see

[Choir:]
Watching our fall
Never late to change
Always the ending judges the action

Don’t turn your face, she is the savior

No Tears for The Black Queen

Normal: The Last King - grunts, baritone
Italics: Black Queen - soprano

Enter the forest
Seduction's nest
From my voice you can't escape
You'll be forever mine

You'll be my Black Queen

In this crystal world
no tears for life
Leave everything behind
and kiss me love
cause its endless night

You are my Black Queen

Deep in this cold misery
I found a distant harmony


[Screams:]
Blood with blood
together we'll rule

Steal all light

[Screams:]
Everyone will pay
for hurting you

No mourns for me

Show them who you are
take my sword and dance
in this rain of blood
where our love is damned

The fire in your eyes
Toxicated with lies

[Whispers:]
Dare and enter my oppressed desires

Come, fullfill our common destiny
A road free of all agony
Same path without pain
Out of this world I have no name

I/You am/are the Black Queen

Raped soul, healed in hate
Reveal your face, I'm your deadly mate

In A Lost Paradise

Italics: Choir
Bold: Grunts
Normal: male vocals
Both: choir and grunts

(soprano, alto) All the sins committed
(baritone, tenor) In favor of our greed
(soprano, alto) All the blood spilled
(baritone, tenor) For our vision to be pleased

The heir of our grace
Descending without face


[Choir] (simultaneously):
But you know you'll be lost in abyss
This is another honor to abyss


Captured in a war you never wanted
Between fire, blades and rage
Demons, angels are all the same
Get armed cause you'll be drowned


This hell kills everyone
An unknown will we serve
Open your eyes and see
The rising doom has covered us

(baritone, tenor) Our thoughts confused
(alto, soprano) By a light misused
(baritone, tenor) Our fallen grace
(alto, soprano) Left no trace

We play the role of mice
In a lost paradise


[Choir] (simultaneously):
In this world so full of hate
What we fell is only hate


Captured in a war you never wanted
Between fire, blades and rage
Demons, angels are all the same
Get armed cause you'll be drowned


This hell kills everyone
An unknown will we serve
Open your eyes and see
The rising doom has covered us

Decipher the signs of secrey
and reveal an ancient mistery

Another Kingdom will rise
Decided by the roll of dice

Hear the sirens of your mind
Destruction seals the fate of mankind


Captured in a war you never wanted
Between fire, blades and rage
Demons, angels are all the same
Get armed cause you'll be drowned


This hell kills everyone
An unknown will we serve
Open your eyes and see
The rising doom has covered us

If you don't care, go on
But you will end up dead
Our burning hell awaits
for its great defender
(Burn with me!!!)

Bright as Light (Secta part II)

Italics: Choir
Normal: male or female vocals
Bold: screams

I was afraid I couldn't do anything
Felt so useless, I felt so week
But didn't know that the only force
is the hidden strength within
Still looking higher


Living in a shadow
In a happy hallusination
I was a blind machine

They make us believe
we are nothing
A manipulation we never see
We are fools

Descending from a fake heaven
I learned one thing
You have to reach the bottom
So you can rise to chase the dream


There is no prophecy or destiny
We write our future with our beliefs
This dogma of nothingness
enlarges our insecurity
Become aware

Follow the wave, go with the wind
That's the mistake ever person makes
But its necessary to understand
You have to raise your hand, touch the stars

Beyond a shadow of doubt
With an iron heart
Running athwart an army
Searching for the exit in the dust
the exit to a world I lust

Tantum Hostium
Utinam Viveret


Break the walls around your mind
Still looking higher


Tanquam nox
[Whispers:]
Effulgence

Timeless Beauty

Normal: female vocals
Italics: operatic vocals
Bold: both vocals

The clouds stare from the night sky
and the leaves dance with the wind
While a princess is locked in her tower
caught in an imaginary web by will

She can't face the world
Cause her mirror broke
from her semblance
Never knew acceptance
She now looks into the glass
will never touch the green grass

Her bed is her tomb
The only world she saw
Is this cage of stone


Cold tears from a warm heart
Remembering the last words
of the witch so beloved
"Beauty is a state of mind"

Can't decide, leave her coffin
or be released by trusted knife


Gathering left devotion
She needs no potion
Takes a breath
and passes her door

Now she sees
The only beauty is within
Can't believe she wasted life
on a fake shield

As she touches a tree
Her soul accepts the defeat
With a smile she falls
taking the river path to god

Melancholic Euphoria

While Melancholy overcomes me
Euphoria takes me in imaginary places
Where your candle’s flame is bright enough
To rescue me from loneliness’ darkness
Your arms blanket to cold cruelty
Pure heart devoted to you

Light comes to my eyes
Is it real or just another illusion?
It doesn’t matter cause now
this dream can become reality

I can’t only know pain
I’ll chase your light
even if it is in vain
No tears block my sight

But I’ll insist and persist
till bitter end takes me
These drops of love can be my faith
This blank life can fill with a kiss

With the water I’ll rinse my face
and try to remove sadness
I will fake a smile again
And I’ll hide emotions
deep in my hurted heart

And I will wait, I shall crave
I must pray until you say
the word that’ll make me stay
(in this world)

Desperate for Hope (Secta part I)

Bold: grunts/growls, male operatic vocals
Italics: Choir, soprano

Run, run, run for a life
you'll never see
Hide, Hide, hide for the end
no one had ever dreamt

Far, far, far from the core
the burning fear rise
Hark, hark, hark the serenade
of sorrow and death


As I follow the wind
in the shadows of a fading dream
My destiny is written
on the waves of the black sea

Collect your thoughts
Gather all feelings
Prepare for the greatest battle
inside your heart's dungeon
Hope is the only weapon

Every part worships the mother of water
for our sins to be forgotten
The tomb of purity lies open


I see the end comming towards me
Now, the time has come for us
3 paths before the gate of salvation
The time is racing and I'm standing still

Mournful tears for the dance of despair within my mind

Run, run, run for a life
you'll never see
Hide, Hide, hide for the end
no one had ever dreamt

Far, far, far from the cote
the burning fear rise
Hark, hark, hark the serenade
of sorrow and death

Die, die, die to be reborn
Try and save your soul


Don't resist
No one can
Life's too short
Open your heart

Open you heart to the truth
No one can escape from inner mirrors
Don't resist to your relfection
Life is too short to waste it in an illusion

The revelation of times
The revelation of life
Close your eyes
for we all know what awaits

Levifidus (Secta Prologue)

[Choir:]
Every part worships the mother of water
for our sins to be forgotten
The tomb of purity lies open
We learned to live in fire
No god can save us
Hold onto yourself
