Core

[1. Drowning The Light] [Demeter seeks for answers when she realizes Core has disappeared.] [2. The Reaction] [Hate, rage and anger blind Demeter. Wounded by this feelings, she threatens to unleash her power. She won't stop until Core gets back to her side and Hades, Lord of the Underworld, is punished for what he's done.] World will fall into perpetual darkness Dawn will be no more Frost will cover the face of the earth And the everlasting winter will freeze their hearts The creation sons will pay one by one They'll all come to you when I'm done For no sin is left unjudged Their suffering will be unleashed Rage - Rage consumes my flesh like a worm Fire - No fire will keep you warm Crawl - You'll crawl under my feet Starvation Rip my heart out, rip my life out Rip my eyes for I'll never see her again I've cried a river of pain, no more tears I can shed Lord of the Underworld, beg... Pain Hate - I hate you Horror Disgrace Despair Madness - I despise you Agony Desperation [3. Goddess Wrath] [4. Mother's Memories] [As days go by, hate becomes desperation; anger gives way to anguish and rage to sadness. Memories pile in her mother's heart and tears grow big in her goddess heart, drowning her hopes.] [The Light's Theme] In her sad face signs of suffering are drawn Caused by tears she shed for so many nights Where darkness was the only companion That fulfilled the emptiness of Core I can feel her essence in the air Her face still reflects on every river I can still see her moving like leaves on a tree I think I still can... I miss her gleaming morning smile I wish she were here to comfort my soul The innocence of her mind The fragile innocence as the butterfly wings I pray for nightmares to end Core, light that surrounds me Let there be light again Let the scars stop bleeding As days and nights go by she tries to find comfort in her loneliness Buried in the abyss of her own desperation She wonders if this will last forever For to get back to the Light forever she would cry [5. The Light Punishes The Earth] [All living beings suffer the consequences. The earth won't give its fruits anymore, rivers will lay as veins with no blood and rain will be like dust over dead fields. Her uncontrolled power affects all known places and her screaming resounds all around.] Night falls, horror stabs the living With furious anger harvests are drowned Like death seeding the seeds of pain Drying the open land, wiping out any sign of life Clouds will cross the skies more than a thousand times Before men can see their land thrive again And a thousand thunders will sound, And a thousand thunders will explode... No longer hears the crying of desperate souls No longer sees the horror in their faces Only sees deathly souls crawling like a serpent Famine strikes Clouds will cross the skies more than a thousand times Before men can see their land bloom again [6. Exile] [Too many questions, no answers, Demeter abandons the research and herself in an exile beyond heaven's eyes and beyond earth's sight. Solitude builds walls around her; maybe this is the only way.] ...and a thousand thunders will explode After nine days searching for her She ran away looking for shelter Found her place in an unknown land In a far away kingdom of the sand Peace of mind is hard to find She found a way out of her suffering Just when about to let it all go Uncertainty made her feel alone [7. The Message From The Father Of Gods] [Zeus sends a message to Demeter in a desperate attempt to stop her rage, make her forget Core and bring her back to the Olympus.] Signs came in mysterious ways Whispers from the wind - forget all about it Clouds in the sky showed the way - fall into oblivion Rain fell hard...it could be heard - forgive [Father Of Gods' Theme] [Solo Carlos] Your thoughts are destroying you The earth suffers the consequences of your acts Abandon this mad crusade you've get into And return to the place you belong to Her feelings for him have changed with time The lord of the underworld conquered her heart Rumours say that she is not coming back She doesn't want to come back [8. Denial] [The truth in Zeus' words destroys all Demeter's hopes, but her heart does not want to believe.] No - I don't want to believe the words you tell Lies - You only lie to blind my wounded heart No I won't I won't be fooled by your words You won't poison my thoughts I hold the truth in my mind I'm lead by my soul to Core The Lord of the skies, Father of gods Got back to his throne denied by the Light His aura vanished like the mist and a figure appeared The wind rider [9. Hermes arrival] [Hermes, Zeus' messenger, carries the news to Demeter, brings answers about Core, a pact.] Hear the words I bring to you From the underworld I've come She will be released, brought back to you Though you'll have to learn to share time Time is something I've already lost [Solo Miguel] [Solo Jordi] [10. Core's Transgression] [The moment when Core and Demeter meet again has finally arrived, although the words carried by Hermes made Demeter doubt. Who was that figure calling her "mother"? What was left of her daughter behind those eyes?] Your light breaks the night with every step you take Tears were not shed in vain Nothing will tear us apart again But there's something in your eyes, something evil... His poison No! I was tempted You were strong No I wasn't Ah! You can't understand it I don't want to But here I am...your daughter, Persefone [Solo Carlos - Miguel] [11. Consequences] [Nothing will ever be the same, Demeter accepts the pact and with every step that Persephone takes to her mother, Core disappears.] Half the year away, half the year with me As it always was it will be no more I don't recognize you as my blood I can feel his presence in your eyes

[1. The Battle Ends] [On the battle for power between Zeus & Hades, Hades is defeated. During the sad return to his domains, the innocent game of Eros and Afrodita comes in his way. An arrow will decide his future feelings. It is then when he crosses looks with Core and desire needs to be fulfilled.] [2. A mighty crash] [Zeus tries to stop Hades, but this time nothing will prevent evil from happening. He'll accomplish his will at any price; it goes beyond power and reason. Core will be his.] My ambition, you may put to an end But not what my heart needs You may have won a battle You won't win twice in a day Who do you think you are? Take what's left of your deadly legions And get back to the hole you came from I've come to take what is mine I don't need your approval You'll regret having come today You've won the Earth, you lose something you love You are playing a game you can't win I'm the one who writes the rules You will face the punishment you deserve You'll crawl asking for forgiveness There's no place you can hide Guiding his horde of death He returns to the place where souls are condemned New troops of doom enrolled after the war Even in defeat he has won The abyss within his blackened soul Consumes and isolates him A threat arises, unholy desires Will bear the Light to exile I'm a slave of my own needs Out of control, out of my mind A nightmare I live, I can escape I'll return to claim what is mine He wants to get rid of the inner pain Inflicted by the game of Beauty and Love An arrow stroke and cursed his heart Slave to her love, touched by her sight There's only one way to satisfy my desire She'll be powerful by my side But still I can't reach her; it burns in me I know she wants to come; she'll come to me Goddess of evil, queen of the dark Lady of souls in despair, Under the guide of your will Reign for all time among us For all time!! - She'll come to me [3. Dark Thoughts From A Dark Heart] [Between shadows, Hades' wounded heart fights to be heard, Core will be by his side, and her will forever will be obeyed, no matter what. Blinded by love, Hades is ready to be on his way.] In my dreams I feel you You live in my reveries now But soon, here in the underground, you'll be queen Queen of all you see, and all you feel I belong to you; you have to get to me You belong to me; I'll get to you All light on earth vanishes There'll be no escape for her now And so the land opens, And so I unleash my wrath The undead will be one with me No one will get in my way There's nothing that can stop me now So I'll fulfil what's to be done And in my carriage Ride by black stallions I'll leave with no breath The one that I belong to Nor her tears nor her pain Will stop my commitment And I won't fail to the image of her I'll follow my will 'cause the will of my heart goes beyond my mind [4. And So, It Happens] [Hades, followed by his hordes, appears in front of frightened Core. Firmly he takes what his heart asks for, to make her queen of his world, the Underworld.] [Lord Of The Underworld's Theme] And the sky turned black and with a mighty roar the earth cracked And his will embraces her soul as she meets her fate And suddenly, coming out of the night I feel it coming for me. I feel it's coming. But why? A strange feeling arises from the depths of my fears Bursting me into tears But why... I can't free myself Helpless... No chains or ties but a sweet caress I can't understand it It's leaving me defenceless [5. Nine Days] [With Core by his side, Hades tries to win her confidence offering her power, a kingdom and his love. He won't stop against anything, but it won't be easy.] I offer you my heart Sit by my side on your queen throne And rule for ages to come This dark World that I give to you Hours were days and days were eternal dreams Confusing her mind seeing her beloved captive Though in his black heart his evil nature still alive Would have to corrupt her soul, condemn her to his side Wipe the sadness from your face You'll learn to love your new reign Ask what you will but your freedom You're now prisoner of my heart Prisoner of my heart! Confusion tears running along her cheeks Lost in the immensity of darkness in the Underworld reign Show no fear when you deliver on to me Let me carry you between the shadows Feel the power within you Feel the flame inside of me Your face will show no more fear and your severe look will turn no more light in your days stay by my side - by my side [6. Doubts Are Seed] [Solo Carlos] [Solo Jordi] [Solo Carlos] [7. Hermes Journey] [Hermes delivers the message to the Lord of the Underworld. It is necessary to let her beloved Core go free the world from the consequences of his acts.] Through skies and seas He is sent to deliver the message from the Father of Gods The threat was received by the Lord of the Underworld [Solo Carlos] [Solo Miguel] [8. Tasting The Forbidden Fruit] [Nine days and nine nights Hades had to get Core's heart, but it wasn't until she was starving to death that the inevitable happened, she ate the forbidden fruit, condemning herself forever.] For days starving she has been she'll succumb to the traitorous hunger Then forever she'll be mine, mine and none other We both know the forbidden fruit is cursed to those that don't belong here Eating it means you'll be condemned forever, I'll wait for you to fall The damned fruit from the dark abyss, although she knew the danger she was facing, was the only way Core had to satisfy her hunger She knew she'd be condemned if she ate it And doubts had been seed inside her Her pure mind started to crumble And the world fell over her, darkening her mind As you breathe the vicious air A part of him takes control of you Fight and consume your hopes of freedom Soon your soul mine will be [9. The Underworld] [Hades shows Core, now Persephone, the reality of her new reign, and she observes from her throne, she likes it.] No day no night, no sand dripping hours Time belongs to him and to the dreams of the condemned Covered by hate and fear are the darkened walls Covered by the blood of inside crawling sadden souls [10. Meeting The Light] [What then was the need to leave now is doubt. Core knew her place was by her mother, but Persephone is now the one on the way to Demeter.] Held captive no more I've been released to meet the Light But why? I'm not sure I want to leave Something has grown inside of me. But why? I no longer feel helpless No longer feel defenceless I'm not sure where my place is anymore...

[1. Held Captive] [Core is held against her will and cries to get back to Demeter. Suffers in silence and loses hope in being freed again.] [Persephone's Theme] Dark and grey the day has turned Time is passing My heart's crying a tear for the sun I can't reach The soft whistle of the air... The leaf that I inspired to pretend to be The ground of the Fall Reminds of a whole The muse that fell to the deep The muse is lying cursed The cold on her hands The dust on her wings A widow of her own old life A victim of god's desires The child that a light brought A ray of hope to the world Buried in life between walls I can't see... They are cold but I can't touch them No day, no night, but days are passing I know... I feel all alone, 'cause my mother's gone The cold on her hands The dust on her wings A widow of her own old life A victim of god's desires The child that a light brought A ray of hope to the world... [2. Memories] [Core finds comfort in the old days, where she was free. She has lost strength and these memories are hard to be brought back. Everything seems to bring her back to darkness.] Cloudy is my mind 'Sieged my images with no sense Shadow-broken memories Are broken like my soul I see The Light far in my dreams I run to her seeking comfort But a great dark blanket Steps between my light and me Mother, I feel you, but I can't see you I've learned to hate this place, and slowly in me I die I try to smile, but it's a bitter one I wish to get back to my beloved fields Wasted and devastated now are I want to escape this agonic dream, escape...escape! Trapped and lost, in this world I can only give away my heart and condemn my soul [3. Betraying Herself] [Core loses all confidence and falls into temptation. Shadows are the only company she has surrounded by dark walls.] Sickness, obscurity Punishments that happen around me I can't distinguish what is right Which path leads the way? Slowly he tries to conquer my heart What's wrong in all this, what will be my sentence? He represents all that I am not There's no use for all that I've learned I'm blinded by his presence His endeavours frighten me curiosity burns in me The cold on my hands The dust on my wings A widow of my own old life A victim of god's desires The child that a light brought A ray of hope to the world [4. A Pure Heart Succumbs] [After having fallen for her despair, she loses the ability to choose between good and evil, between light and darkness.] [Solo Carlos] They spent days in the darkness And the innocent eyes of the muse blackened, losing that expression And the factions in her face showed indifference and hate She had started to enjoy the company of her Lord [Solo Miguel] [Solo Jordi] [Solo Carlos] [Solo Jordi] [Solo Carlos - Miguel] [5. Transition To Persephone] [All is lost; she has succumbed to her now beloved captor. She becomes all she ever feared to be. Doubts are still in her mind, although they have betrayed her.] Too much time she has been in the shadows Days are prisons in time Consumed day after day A new being is born I can't feel passion for things anymore Although I know it's inside of me I feel no sorrow, I feel no remorse For the condemned that roam in this moor Her head was empty of past feelings Her eyes reflected neither passion nor sweetness And her soul was ready To roam the moor of desperation I seek answers to the questions I don't know He has them all in his poisonous lips That tightens me with the strength of the oceans And takes me far from the truth [Solo Jean-Do Leonelli] I fight the hunger that weakens me I cannot reason anymore Everything is blurred and grey Everything is the nothing that lives in every moment of my soul [6. The End] [And as the story comes to the end we find that the young and innocent Core had started to have doubts in her mind. The truth was well beyond comprehension, but she knew she would starve to death in a world that somehow had begun to build a feeling inside her. She was no longer a stranger in the Underworld, and was ready to make the final step. Although she knew her mother was in pain, the influence of the dark lands had started to make her forget, forget. By the ninth day she crossed the line that would tie her to darkness for all time, for she had bitten the forbidden fruit of the Underworld, only permitted to the condemned...the beginning of a new age had arrived, where she'd be praised for all time...] [Meanwhile, the Light had been struggling to make Core come back to her side. After days and days of punishing the earth by starvation, the Father of gods had sent a message to the Lord of the Underworld to settle a commitment where both could have the company of young Core. Unknown to her, they both had decided that Core would spend half the year within the Light and the other half within darkness, but although this pact seemed to satisfy them all, it was unbeknownst to them that Core was no longer a young and innocent child, something had changed inside her, forever...] [7. Epilogue] [They finally meet, Demeter and Persephone. For six months she'll be with her mother and the other half of the year she'll spend it with her Lord, the Lord of the Underworld.] And from the abyss of my desperate soul I see her coming from the dark lands Despair surrounds all that's in me After so much suffering the end is near The closer she gets I see the darkness that has grown on her Her eyes no longer show the youth from days past They reveal a feeling that I've never seen...but I know And from the abyss of my soul I lead my way to the Light The shape of despair that surrounds her Shows how the suffering embraces her The rain on the dark land is deafening The moment that so many times I saw in my mind Is falling apart I'm your daughter, Persephone No!

I'm doing you a favor As I'm taking all your money I guess I should feel sorry But I don't even trust me There's bad news creeping up And you feel a sudden chill How do you do? My name is Trouble I'm coming in for the kill... And you know I will Set the ball a-rollin I'll be clicking off the miles On the train of consequences My boxcar life o' style My thinking is derailed I'm tied up to the tracks The train of consequences There ain't no turning back No horse ever ran as fast As the money that you bet I'm blowing on my cards And play them to my chest Life's fabric is corrupt Shot through with corroded thread As for me I hocked my brains Packed my bags and headed west
