Andromeda's Heart
04:08

Saturn’s eye has been watching me
From the day of my birth ‘til that night
When I met Andromeda’s Heart
Her shape so beautiful bewitched my thoughts
And made me forget of the earthly life, of this illusion
The unseen garden opened its gates
And let me see the highest visions
Let me smell the purest fragrance of demise
I heard her singing the madrigal of times
I gazed at the canvas of destiny
A withering painting of space and time
But yet the Divine started to faint
And her voice became silence
I got lost in the endless labyrinth
So I followed the bright comet
The entire lie of the universe
I denied hope and ran to my end
Leaving this truth
The fading image of Andromeda turned to black
My pain as the last proof of her existence
The darkened image, the blackened universe
The complete chaos of astral harmony
Took her beauty beyond the gates
Burnt her soul to ashes of grief
Tore her flesh to pieces of death

Infinity
04:12
|

I travelled through endless horizons
Beyond the starful vault
Asleep under the planets’ dome
I met the white Selene
Welcomed by the constellations
By the Great Apollyon
Touching his warmth I burnt
In his bloodstained hands
But the galaxies were still calling my name
The timeless ethereal spheres opened their eyes to me
They tried to grab my soul
To tear it apart in desolation
They tried to grab my soul
To tear it apart in disillusion
I tasted the absolute chaos
And touched the outer wall
But still I search for infinity

The Sign

The signs in these cosmic formations
Showed me the horror
The ashes of stellar flesh
The darkness took hold of my mind
That sight within my soul
Never to be forgotten
And there began my way
Downwards the shadows
And there began my way
Towards the sorrow…
I tried to look at the darkened vault
But I touched the end
The complete fall of these black elements
Welcomed the unknown fear
I died but yearned for more
In these cosmic formations
I drowned in the blood-filled chasm
The blood of my crime
A moaning echoed in the abyss
Sowing the fear above the anger
Then I heard the scream of the stellar flesh
Yelling for agony, weeping for majesty
The rise of silence prophesising the end
Set the Creation ablaze
The eye of a burning dust
Watching my steps
On the darkened vault
“Before my eyes in sudden view appear
The secrets of the hoary Deep – a dark
Illimitable ocean, without boundary”
John Milton – Paradise Lost

The Stellar Dominion
04:06

“So saying he dismiss’d them
They with speed their course
Through thickest constellations held
And planets, planets struck real eclipse”
Standing on the shore
I was watching the burning lake
As a new Era was beginning
The Crownless raised from his earthly tomb
His minions running amok
A cold and silent vision before my eyes
Freezing the passions in me
A greater war began, a stronger foe raised
My sufferings were blown out by the flames
The chains torn apart by the visions
Haste towards the end
Abhorrence of these times
A crimson dusk covering the earth
A withering realm crashing down in mourn
That fiendish look that froze my heart
Buried the last shades of hope
Walking along the paths
I was gazing at the barren plains
As the last Era was fading away
Pain gave birth to silence
Destruction to chaos
And the triumph of the stellar dominion was complete
