Chimera

I - In the woods of myself

Scratches, voices, screams, blood

Visions, omens, black

The black river, black and still

Drove me to run away

Aimless, through the woods

Until I found this tumbling house

In the night time I can see

The distant reflection

The gleam of the white stone

The pale reflection of the forgotten crypt...

Drops, soak my window

Drops, which thin metal needles

Inject in me, black

In the mind, pitch lines

Fallen from a shady river

That I put in chains when only a child

So grey the sky outside

As my thoughts, my words

Once clear, now infected

Tears as thick as ink, they spread

In the water, relentless, unstoppable

Drop by drop I open up eyes

I didn't think I had

Enshrouded in the black wings of the night

The Silver moon lit trees

Unceasingly whisper and show me

Paths forbidden, corners forsaken

And me, as an empty shell

Pale shade of what I used to be

A skeleton dancing with death

At the gloomy step of her macabre dance

Where are you taking me?

What is there for me?

“Close your eyes, take my hand…”

The disease spreads

The black river, the dark side...

Nightmares of blood and death

Where I'm hunter, I'm prey

Only corpse reeling under ground

Enshrouded in the black wings of the night

The Silver moon lit trees

Unceasingly whisper and show me

Paths forbidden, corners forsaken

1 st lead: Dave

2 nd lead: Lorenzo

Eyes open wide, awaken by the vision,

Muscles overstrung, cold sweat on the skin

Am I really awake, now?

Imaginary frames but oh - so real...

Paths among the leaves

Led by desperation

A few moments of sanity left

I stumble among the tombs

My corroded mind longs for the crypt

Enshrouded in the black wings of the night

The Silver moon lit trees

Unceasingly whisper and show me

Paths forbidden, corners forsaken

And me, as an empty shell

Pale shade of what I used to be

A skeleton dancing with death

At the gloomy step of her macabre dance
II - Seven steps of stone

Light bestows its last rays on me

a first,

a second

a third

a fourth

a fifth

a sixth

and a seventh step of stone

Wind cries and a crash

Granite gates shut down

And melt before me

In my hands

Just one candle

I'll wait for the darkness

I already belong to

One,

Two,

Three,

Four,

Five,

Six,

Seven steps of stone
