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 06:26
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

“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

about

Nightshade Lausanne, Switzerland

In a massive gravitational pull, Nightshade attracts their listener into a universe of impressionist cosmic metal sounds: heavy and vast guitars blend with ethereal synths, orchestral arrangements and extreme multi-demonic vocals align and revolve there.
Conceptually, the band connects the many facets - both light & dark - of the human mind with the cosmic origins of civilizations of the universe
