Imago Mortis

Passion and romantic love are nothing more than chemical phenomena Aimed at dodging death in order to perpetuate the species It’s fairer to say that true love is affection I had a dream that all mankind Began to understand what love really means Behold time, father of fate It can destroy what you create It keeps moving on and on And quickly forgotten So keep on moving, on and on You can't lose control For those who believe in endless love Dark reflections, warped story You see only what you want Truth quickly forgotten As much as you follow your common sense Only promises and pain Behind the scenes you're falling down Smiling. Smiling! Tell me about your feelings once again, for sure Behind a mask, a trick cheating death It flows in your blood Chemistry betrays your feelings It poisons your heart You have no strength to fight this power Nature pulls the strings You’re out of control Despite the elements in dispersed order Like musical notes fleeing the pitch The invisible orchestra echoes a powerful symphony Who are we to question it? All our cries and whispers are in vain Things are not the way you wanted Now all your illusions are faint The face of truth is cold and dark Don’t lead us astray As the truth in love is no game I have to say Without death There would be no love Without love There would be no poetry Without sex There would be no you! Searching for love Your pilgrimage is in vain You never win In this tragic passion play Your sweating hands begin to explain Your destiny is trying to escape Predictable things along the way But you feel it's perfect Behold the chaos, is all we have All those promises were false You may choose the truth or fairy tales All I ask you is to understand Now I see the blossoming of pain, your pain Walking through passion's graveyard Illusion’s sweet legacy What a pity, there's nothing left of your greatest love Perhaps memories I told you it’s only nature’s trick There’s nothing we can do It's out of your control You fade, but nature remembers Double helix strands Passing you forever forward Things are not the way you wanted Now all your illusions are faint The face of truth is cold and dark Don’t lead us astray As the truth in love is no game I have to say Without death There would be no love Without love There would be no poetry Without sex There would be no you! On and on Against the endless fear Perpetual dreams Stay forever here

At each phase of loneliness I turn to the same stage Browsing the virtual Sea of Uncertainties I start searching for something to, at least, fill my lackings With the world at your fingertips People turned into megabytes Hookup apps are doing the job One night-stand is all you're looking for Lust, static sensations A stranger staring at strange eyes Beware the loneliness is a devil in disguise Acting like a snake Crawling on the ground Who's cutting off Its own flesh? The paraphilias buffet Temptation, not a crime Just part of the game Let your desire Play a song that need no rhyme Who said that nature made you more important Than a maggot that will eat your flesh? Come and go in this binary sea You know the drill, nature never rests Copulate, not to procreate So that the vile seed never progresses Any excuse you'll make up Is just the fear of loneliness The love's kamikaze Plunges fatally You'll fall apart You still have a heart The paraphilias buffet Temptation, not a crime It’s a dangerous game Let your desire Play a song that need no rhyme

The courage finally results in movement on the physical plane I get a date with sovereignty I run through the room Knowing that I would be soon between the arms (And between other things) Of that beautiful being Your tongue turns me upside down Send shivers down my spine I get lost in your curves while I seek An orchid carved in flesh A female in heat is over me Sacred words distort my mind You light my fire to see it burn A lusty pleasure deep inside Pulsing desire - sheer delight With ferocity as wolves Hungry eyes not satisfied So consume me alive Your legs are my captivity Self bondage - inner doom You take me to places I've never been So come to me with body and soul So claim your part of me We praise the sacred words Our bodies are fused into one A pleasure ritual Entwining spirits We got our poison to drink We’re pure energy We feel the power Hieros Gamos Sanctus Mortis Imago Mortis Inferno Our chants are envied by gods Like a prayer are our moans Evoking synergy Entwining spirits Our bodies are fused into one Our pact, sealed with blood We drink our poison Hieros Gamos šIptu usalliki belet beleti ilat ilati? Ištar šarrati kullat dadme mušteširat tenešeti Irnini muttallati rabat Igigi

Dates become constant and the loneliness leaves off Flowers appear, as if it were spring, and the colors are more vivid The rite of incantation has begun, you can feel its effects To her whose eyes are cast I no longer belong to thy past A heart smiling forever more Like seas deep within a shore If the flowers were like you So soft as the roses we twine do When together we art, the flutter I feel Thy astonishing feeling, doesn't seem to be real Beware thy soul in wise energies Crosses my heart in synergy Thy beauty's bloom will ride apart The defenses of my heart Against thee shall my will rebel Still in my mind your scent dwells Magic words, put thy spell on me I'm stuck but I don't want to break free Here is where I stand From thence whether thou quivering stence You are just my salvation Whilst I’m thy temptation Whisper to me, in love's no last adieu Into our fiction of a flimsy romance Here is where we stand until the end

Everything’s good in life I’ll give you I promise you As long as you breathe I’ll be by your side I promise you I don’t expect The same from you This is the greatest proof My love is true Forever shall Not be long enough I’ll always want more All that you say I feel deep in my heart I promise you Body and soul I give myself to you I promise you That’s why I say I wouldn't expect from you This is the greatest proof My love is true Forever shall Not be long enough I’ll always want more When a grey sky falls upon you My light shall paint it blue And if the path gets too dark You’ll see me shining through You don’t have to promise me the world You just have to promise me we’ll be together No matter what it takes ‘Cos we are one At every single moment We’re apart I think of you My home is inside of you now All I want is you

You think you know me better than I do That's funny, I thought I was me and you were you C’mon and wear my clothes, do you wear mine? And read all my thoughts about you, did you read mine? We’re not siamese twins, what? Don’t act like a fool, oh, yeah That’s all you say Judge me I’m the one to blame Tonight I will give you fear and shame So leave me alone, no And get away from here, no Don’t make more mistakes, you do, not me You got your life to live So that's how it’s going to be You will belittle me This was the love you had for me? But you never listen Only God knows, what I'm trying to say Yes, now you know I’m not your fool I don’t want to hear your excuses I know things you don’t It no longer belongs to you I'm not afraid to take away Any shadow of doubt I don’t want to fight you anymore I need to hold you again I know what you’re afraid of To be left in the shadows I know your tricks like nobody else This was your last try and you failed I got a face, I got a name I’m not living in your shadow I got my feelings you ought to know You never cared at all So let me be You’re not in me, I’m not in you And I got my feelings you don’t know Cause the mistress of truth is you

No more placebo loves and plastic flowers False promises are undone To dream about the concatenation of souls This elusive agenda should have never been made It's like holding your feet to the fire For something you don't understand We started to build a wall between us To the point that none of us could pass Exchange uncertainty, insecurity and loneliness For a relationship with certain death We joined all of our loose fragments For so many times in vain There is nothing we can do It's time to say goodbye, my love All that is left for us now Is a farewell kiss Now I know All those promises were fake Now I know Only memories will remain We joined all of our loose fragments For so many times in vain There is nothing we can do It's time to say goodbye, my love All that is left for us now Is a farewell kiss

Ironically, I expect your call But anxiety makes me call first But I feel like I'm already free of your emotional traps I’m trying to forget you I’m doing my best I know it’s not so easy A void in my chest You wanted control But see what you’ve built A grave of emotions With insidious hope You turned off the light You locked the door I’m getting out of your web But I’ll never forget you, black widow Black widow Don’t pick up the phone out of pity I didn't ask for mercy I’m ready now I will rid you from my sight I’m just here to say goodbye Stealer of time Reaper of lives Now I’m taking it back But I know there’s a price You turned off the light You locked the door I’m getting out of your web I’m not afraid anymore I’m gone

Here we are My sweet loneliness Cheers! This is on my dime We drink to forget the past To kill the disillusion All the treachery and shame Was there love in our story? I don't know who's to blame When I think of your smile I feel the emptiness I want to talk but I know nobody cares All that is left for me is sorrow All my joy is gone I'm so alone Where are you now? I miss you so much Who am I going to kiss before bed? I wish I was dead I took out your crumpled photo from my pocket My tears start to shed I know it may just be a crisis, but I'm so tired My mind is in distress And I question love The father of all the pain Saddened by despair Hurts my shelterless soul All that is left for me is sorrow All my hope is gone I'm so alone Uh I'm so alone without you I'm so alone, I'm so alone I can't bear the pain Just a lonely guy among the crowd I'm crying in vain Don't you hear me calling, baby Please come back to me I'm so alone All alone I know you don't, I know you won't I’m so alone, all alone I’m crying in vain Suspended to a very thin rope With an abyss too deep beneath my feet I’m so alone

This track is instrumental.
Eu sei que é triste O epitáfio de um amor Que de tanto sofrimento e dor Não atravessou o inverno E morreu de frio E agora lhe resta essas paredes Sua velha conhecida, solidão E um pouco de inspiração para escrever, talvez Versos de um coração desesperado Eu sou esta canção, o canto do cisne Ecoando através da mais escura das noites E sou o silêncio que lhe trará todas as respostas A sabedoria é como um diamante E você sabia sobre a efemeridade de tudo E mesmo com o coro de todas as vozes do mundo Você mergulhou no abismo mais profundo Como ousas desafiar o aniquilamento? Quem lhe plantou em seu coração esta crença de que o amor jamais acaba Quando nem você mesmo permanecerá Eu sei que você veio de tão longe Não foi fácil chegar até aqui E não é justo morrer assim Só lhe resta um alento final Pois saiba que quando a tempestade, avassaladora como um tornado, te levar a navegar para o outro lado, não tenhas medo. Não olhe para trás E agora seus paradigmas de cristal estão estilhaçados pelo chão e você se ajoelha pelas migalhas que sobrou, deixa me lembrar-te: Acabou. Acabou. Acabou

On and on The internal strife of the heart Which more misled my lonely way Love fled so far When I long wept thy virtues Over what thou see The fountain of forgiveness for you and me You want it You need it Now you understand You have it You grab it Love, sex and death (Love, sex and death) Art thou among The souls I fear so grave? Splendid shudder seems to know Thy love upon decay By those I love are gone By those death has caught Thee seek to shun forever Half broken and in pain You want it You need it Now you understand You have it You grab it Love, sex and death Ah, thou canst seest! Canst seest thou? Ah, thou canst feel it! Canst thou feel it now?
