All my life I've been chained and forced to watch a lie Shadows over the wall... I thought nothing existed but this I was mistaken One day, when I turned back and I saw the burning fire I wondered if it would be something more That's why I united the ties that bound me and I stood up from the floor when all mankind lies absorbed by shadows and I walked towards the opening Finally I am out of the cave! The light of the sun blinds me! The absolute knowledge and the ideal world I have arrived where no man had before I have beheld the real world Now I know what my duty is I have to let them know what I've seen I have to enter the cave again and wake them up I would never imagine this! Non one wants to listen to me! No one wants to believe in what I have seen outside the cave Everyone prefers to live with their illusions forever That's why they have condemned me to death and my only crime has been to try to show them the truth.

Many eons in a slumber I woke up in an unknown place A prison cell with a candle that never extinguishes No doors and no windows... No way to escape!!! And I hear steps from the outside I call them but no one answers my cries I have broken my hands and torn off my nails by biting and scratching the walls Dreaming of freedom that I will never reach I'm puzzled. Where am I??? Please, someone answer me!!! A nightmare is this prison forever I'll stay Desperate beyond belief Please tell me why I'm here!!! What was my crime?? Why me instead of someone else?? How long must I stay imprisoned in nowhere?? Give me back my life!! Take me back to the place where you captured me. Why I can't remember anything?? Give me back my memories! That's all I ever had There's... Is something there outside???? All these years trapped in this dark cell like a rat Maybe it's my fantasy?? Too much monotony!! I'm a prisoner in a room where there's no entrance or exit I think I'm going crazy I can't remember how I reached this place Maybe I've always been here and that's why I have lapses of memory Perhaps it's just my imagination but the candle fades away I feel so cold, and as the light dies my life goes out This light is the only thing that keeps my mind sane in this cell of loneliness The darkness is covering the cell Here I am completely blind I'm just hoping to die soon not to lie forever trapped in this eternal gloom

Glimpse the angles, and vertex of madness... ...imperfections of reality where demons travels through the hyperplanes Glimpse the bounds of Tindalos... ...outer-planer creatures There's no place in cosmos to hide of them Glimpse the impossible geometric shapes never dreamt... as polyterons, and politopes... with dimensions never known before Glimpse... glomes... tesseracts... rotatopes, spherinders and the infinite-dimensional hypersphers of Yog-Sothoth: The door and the key Planespace... Realspace... Tetraspace... Hyperspace... Behold the figures of infinity Behold the perfect paradox The most absolute symmetry in the most absolute chaos Behold the infinitely big superstring that will vibrate forever with infinite energy It will destroy the reality and won't left life behind the hand of gods can't interfere It's a power greater and older than them. Gaze the unexplored corners of the universe where no light has ever shone... ...Lost stars whose light won't ever be seen anywhere Gaze the ravenous dark holes that swallow entire constellations ...the destruction of the matter... ...and beyond the black horizon... Gaze the worm holes... ...the portals out of time and space that would let you go backward and forward in time... ...it's the threshold to eternity Contemplate the center of the universe and what remains... Contemplate the imperfection of the lines and the bends that causes absolute madness with just one sight If you do it, their shapes would swallow you forever in their damned axes and vectors Contemplate what an eye haven't seen before... ...spheres where you may find universes and other realities where madness and destruction are the beginning and the end of everything Contemplate the end and the beginning of it all Big Bang and Big Crunch The cosmos expansion and the contraction... ...it's the breathing of creation!!!!

(Words from the booklet) There was a traveller and studious man, that in an expedition found an ancient grimoire of an ancient civilization yet unknown by men The book became his obsession, and during eight months was his only focus of attention, During the greater part of the day and night he was locked in his studio room His family was worried When all of them shared the time together, during lunch or dinner, they noticed that he was absent-minded Rarely he talked. Always daydreaming. Always thoughtful about what he had deciphered from the book since then. He had discovered unusual things about the mirrors It is known that mirrors were used the first time in the classic Greece and they used it like we use it nowadays But in this book was written that a thousand of years before the mirror had another use The mirror was created to give a clear reflection, and it was used for many kinds of black sorcery Through the reflection they could see many things ...past ...future ...present ...other worlds ...another dimension ...another realities.... This man went even farther. He went beyond of what dared the most insane sorcerer from past The mirror can show many things, but could show the dark reflection of this world as well It is a window to hell Never happened where you are looking into the mirror for a long time that you start to feel that the one reflected is not you? Then you have started to peer through the reflection by chance The longer you look into the reflection, the clearer you see the differences First the reflection becomes different. The room reflected becomes another weird place The one reflected becomes any other thing, and finally there's a moment that you see it clearly... That is the way this man used to peer at hell No wizard has been so insane to try it He expended hours, days, weeks and months enclosed in the bathroom looking inside his reflection He learned so many things that it is better not to mention and he beheld so terrible things that are better not to describe or name Those things are things that no human must behold He didn't know that peering through the reflection is really risky It has their fatal consequences At the same time you watch, you are watched too, and maybe when you come back from observation Something that is better to stay in hell would use this way you have opened, to cross through the reflection It could be very dangerous for you, or for those who live with you Is that real, or are just ideas resulting of an obsessed and insane mind?

Half of me has woken up this midnight Half of me has died, I feel Some doubts fly around me Something worse than death itself Just another joke running around my head beating me behind my eyes I have left the horror and the terror of my heart from the coldness of my hands Just a nightmare left behind A practical joke of my subconscious My blood turns into ice in my veins My wife lies dead at my side with two bleeding holes in the place of her eyes A light beams though my head... A vision of the killer... A splinter pierces my heart... Reality becomes pain... I swallow a scream so I won't wake my kids Again another strange feeling pushing me to see their room Silent scream comes out from my soul... Oh no!! All death!! Wandering in my house like a lost ghost trying to rebuild the facts A voice, a dead voice from hell warning me: "The murderer may still be here just a step away from you You will recognize him Maybe he is closer than you think. Now go!" I can't stop the tears falling from my eyes tears of horrible sorrow and pain deeper than the cold night Remembering everything, my family, my life... Afraid at last of being the next in this horrible line Getting on my feet, gathering all my courage Going to find the man Going to take his life with my own hands Sneaking in the ball, I see something at the end A man, the murderer... I'm going to kill him I can see the killer smiling at me so close, so near... In a new step I see the mirror "You have unbound from bell your inner beast when you peered through the mirror" Everything has been my fault Why I've condemned myself to hell?? The killer with my face... The blood still in my hands... Now I'm trapped in a dark realm and he has crossed to the other side My reason falls into darkness forever My evil soul has come alive The smile of my reflection... I now be will freely enjoy his crimes He needs more blood, needs more lives And I have no power and I have no way to leave the world of reflections He has stolen everything from me and has taken my life I am a slave of his movements when he is in front of a mirror Now I know the grudge that he would fell all this time "This is the price of peering through the dark realms of reflection Something would cross to this side" Through the glass you will see him Something from hell longs to be free

Night is falling, dreams are calling Crystal lights behind the trees Glittering madness in fairies garden Closer to this mystery Enter here and see your dreams: dancing mindless Leave yourself and fly away: kiss the fire Nothing seems to be like what I have been Stars fall in my eyes, strange dreams haunt my mind Faeries take my hand, music leads my heart Dancing 'round the night, leave my fears behind Something thrills me, my soul is tingling fighting with my heart No more magic, my mind is knowing I see the hands of time Outside the sphere I see the sun that sinks a thousand times The lady of madness warmly kisses the surface of my soul Pain... all my might is in vain Cold... scars are marking my soul Shades... my soul is praying for death Fear... I don't know who I am My mind falls apart No more laughter I see no tomorrow Oh, queen of the night, queen of the light take away my sorrow!! Now the music fades Someone strange takes me out of here I can see her face... oh is so sweet I can leave myself to dream Seems like I've been sleeping for years Oh, sweetest voice waking me A familiar vision of dreams in the mist Tales from a lost world, waking my memories I can remember her face in my sleep She guides me by her hand but I know the way Crossing the clouds her hand in mine So many feelings inside me are waking Over the seas and the lands she takes me farther, I'm getting scared Strange new vision, she shows me a new place surrounded by a purple sea She sits beside me and touches my face Dreams becomes reality "You know this land I've seen you fly over these shores Look inside yourself... your dreams will tell you what you want to know" "Yes, I remember... I've been here many times flying above us I can't pretend... you're all I've dreamed for my whole lifetime. I have a life, far from these shores far from your heart Maybe in dreams, we'll meet again This is not the end"

(Words from the booklet) What starts with a simple glow in a place where it wasn't light in the last thousand years can wake what has been sleeping since then Beware of these ancient places What sleeps is sleeping by a reason Awake what sleeps before time may have disasterous consequences Or maybe the awakening time has come?

I'm the captain of the U-29229 during the Great War We have sunk lots of allied ships One of our victims was stuck to our submarine He had drowned We found in his pocket a carved stone where we threw him overboard I swear he opened his eyes and gazed at us with derision Then a curse has fallen upon this craft Many sailors have disappeared many of them have gone mad many think they see the blue and swelled corpses of our enemies following us into the depths of the sea An explosion has disabled our submarine controls drifting towards the south The few crews that remain have mutinied They want to surrender to the allies and they want me to throw the stone away It's become my duty to do away with them all I don't want to fall into the enemies hands The current has dragged us to the abyssal depths where surprisingly there is a temple! I am amazed at the perfection of these buildings and I can perceive resemblances with the figure on the stone With no doubt this must be part of the lost Atlantis No more energy... I have been without light for days I despair... I know that it's just a matter of time that the air is gone and I die That's why I'm writing these lines I will put them in a bottle I will throw it into the sea... I hope someone will pick it up Suddenly I think I see a flickering radiance in the temple Today I feel something new in my heart The temple is calling me and drawing me closer I know that I don't have much oxygen but if I have to die I will die there Maybe finally I've become crazy My obsession for the figure has driven me to it The temple forces me to go Whatever I try to do I can't resist No more energy... I have been without light for days I despair in my last hours I'm going to go outside with the diving gear I know what that means, but I have no fear I will die placid in the black and forgotten depths where no man is left behind And this demonic laughter which I hear as I write comes only from own ...my weakening brain

I hear the soar coming This is the day of the end of our great empire The scourge of the gods finally has arrived to slash our corrupted civilization Our wise men predicted it, but we didn't want to listen at them It's too late to restrain the rage of our gods We will be swallowed by the ocean to the very deeps of the earth where every light dies before emerges All that will remain of us, will be a legend and nobody will believe... A new age begins, and another dies with us Our culture and influence in the world will lose its name No one will find our remains An awful earthquake shakes the earth and our buildings are crumbling The ground breaks itself and swallows the horrified people! No one knows where to run away, A few of them pray in repentance I feel how the cold waters wet my feet in the middle of this catastrophy Waves drowns the Atlantis citizens as its power destroys the continent Atlantis is sinking, and all of us are sinking with it It is dragging us to its unavoidable end I am floating in the edges of a great whirlpool spinning faster and faster, reaching the fatal center where I will be swallowed up forever!!
