A Mother Named Death

Now I’m just a shadow that walk adrift Melancholia rotting like leaves in the garden of time Sculpture in silence that nothing fears Accursed to bear this load alone Old distress, I’m still waiting for your ephemeral words Looking for calmness, but the truth hurts When I find out that your strange words are misery Endless lies, trapped among groans night after night Sculpture in silence that nothing fears Accursed to bear this load all alone ...Signs of hidden truths under my skin... ...Arcane heart awaiting its dreaded hour... Disowned from this world, doomed to loneliness Abandoned and sear in this chasm of silence Old, decrepit and dying, shrouded in a veil of chaos Deadened and weakened, ghost of a passing world Old distress, I’m still waiting for your ephemeral words Looking for calmness, but the truth hurts When I find out that your strange words are misery The worst of the miseries Endless lies, trapped among groans night after night

Endless nightmare of consternation Where the shadow of my blame revives In this dark fate that awaits me At the end of this impregnable gloom Throne of sorrow, forgotten Innocence in altar of mud Soul of dreadful rest, forbidden At the gates of this winter Outcast in the depths of this forest, the wind sighs at this ancestral kingdom And my sorrow flows Like scars that bleed again, again Chrysalis nocturnal creature Bounded to its bed of stones Messenger of funerary dreams Carrier of this plague of grieves Alone and lost, she no longer belongs to this world She awaits me, she awaits for me The darkest hour and its frightful silence Define this narrow path that leads me to her Leaving the sun behind Entering in a world of ashes Throne of sorrow, forgotten Innocence in altar of mud Soul of dreadful rest, forbidden In the arms of a mother named death In the black breast of her grave Dumb before the drenched throne Forsaken flower, dethroned of her light Lost in the eyes of the crows ...Hold me in your arms, as the night embraces the light... ...Bury your hands in the depths of this silent sorrow... Her breath in the woods resounds Empire of desecrated graves Under silvery tears of the moon Among creatures devouring the night Alone and lost, she is the tyrant of this world She is around me She, my queen of sorrow

Let the sands of time fall down, on the remains of a sunken world You will rest eternally in silence Close your tired eyes Let yourself fall asleep in my arms, mesmerized (mesmerized) like sleepers in grave I will take you away from this world – don’t be scared and take my hand When the norns cut your weakened thread And shed their tears on your glorious grave Your lifeless eyes will get lost across desert valleys Let the night come in calm Let yourself fall asleep in my arms Ghost of light (ghost of light) bound to sorrow Enthralled on the threshold of a triumphant death I will place the winter in your pale and dying heart The burning clouds, slaves of your dusk And the ravens will outshine your empty sky Slowly you rot to your grave Don’t try to escape of your sure damnation I will take you away, I’ll turn you into dust Don’t be afraid and take my hand, When the crows sing your baleful song Asleep forever in these long nights We will mourn together – the dreaded silence We will have been yearned by the sun The soil waits you I kneel facing your shadows singing the ancient hymn of the morning star She won’t guide me anymore, eternally spellbound by this sad and tragical song, oh... This sad and tragical song, oh... This sad song, oh...

Stars, no message, worn by barren prayers Apocalyptic skies where our fatal fates are blurred We plead for more light of distant stars But their brightness fades in the blackness forever We move away as falling, falling stars We close our eyes with fear, too fear We walk between water and mud Into this dark moor of obsidian lakes Beneath the mantle of mystic darkness Our prayers shall drown in a grief as deep as our grave We shed the light of our shames We exhale the last breath among tears of absent glances Our world faints towards despair Heirs of sorrow, orphans of hope Wailing with wrath that we have been born to lose Stars, eternal lights in distance, oracles of time Hidden by a blinding sun By a blinding sun We plead for more light of distant stars But their brightness fades in the blackness forever We move away as falling, falling stars We close our eyes with fear, too fear

Forgotten, dethroned, devoid of all hope Unseen for the rest So easy is to lose, so easy to fall from grace At the feet of a world, that tramples you day by day Lost in endless days Yearning worn old times Drained by sorrow My thoughts feed your madness And my soul drowns without solace Fades the sun, and fade the words Blind and speechless face off this open scar Slowly and gently, cradle me in your cold arms every night Oppresses me and whispers... Holocaust of a dying soul that clings to a meaningless life Screaming and bleeding from within Dismantling your poor existence Under a mantle of solitude Your life escapes through your fingers Between my arms, once again Stranded in a strange world Anchored to the past Drained by sorrow My acts feed your madness, one by one And my soul is drowning... Forgotten Dethroned (dethroned) Devoid of all hope Unseen for the rest So complicated to find A dying ember of light The sorrow embraces me And together we hold the weight of this colossal wound Colossal wound Colossal wound

Darkness falls, drawing shades of frightful shapes Smothering your grace from its blackened womb Wasting your light among scattered swarms of fireflies Into this lonely realm, the murk devour your scarce hope Facing your own shadows, you hide from your fears All alone, amid shadows of dread that swallows you You gaze the weak light-trails that surround you Your life is sinking in its entrails Your triumphs go away like winters defeated The old empty words are dispersed by the wind Entrenched behind of silent walls Glimmers of hope covered by dust, lit by the flame of a dim light Into this lonely realm, the murk devour your scarce hope Facing your own shadows, you hide from your fears In this gloomy room of sheer loneliness Your demons haunt you forever (forever) You can’t remember when this eon of shades began Nor when your life began to be Mere remnants of scattered lights Distorted images of broken mirrors Silently, you rock at the edge of this abyss In the seclusion of your solitary fortress Just one step to fall in the black womb of light

I threw my soul into this ocean, I got rid of their hardships I sailed aimlessly toward distant waves I delivered my heart to the vastness of its waters The clouds snatched sunlight, omen for a baleful sky Dense black waters where I sank, vehement ocean where I drowned A million prays were dragged, a million oaths were faded The clouds snatched sunlight, in a battle for a baleful sky Dense black waters where I sank, a mystic place where I drowned Majestic blue, unleashed my crying Misfortune tides, pulled me out to sea Under the sails of this old ship I begged in vain for my existence But the skies closed against me under tons of cold crystal tears A million prays were dragged, a million oaths were faded And my groan (and my groan) was swallowed by the storm And my groan (and my groan) was swallowed by the storm In the depth of this ocean I got rid of their weight
