At the Gates of Utopia

In shame we defile Before our enemies Forced to march Under the Samnites' Spears Seven years of wars Have led us to this ruinous end Seven years of wars Were fought in vain On a hostile ground that seemed to be Protecting the Samnites We were fighting though in our hearts the light Of hope shone no more Among the southern mountains lost We quickly tired With no supplies left exhausted we starved Led by deceit towards our doom Trapped in gorge, surrounded by woods We were overthrown In shame we defile Before our enemies Forced to march Under the Samnites' Spears Step by step, one by one We bear the humiliations Of facing our foolishness'es symbol As we march we can hear their voices mocking us Laughing, screaming, crying out their scorn Our mouths are filled with the bitter taste of shame Poisoning the blood - in our veins Killing all our pride On a hostile ground that seemed to be Protecting the Samnites We were fighting though in our hearts the light Of hope shone no more Among the southern mountains lost We quickly tired

Hear me! I'm the last one left of a long gone kind, I stand alone But as sun sets and darkness falls with hundreds voices the air comes alive And every night they're comin' out for me With hate filled rage they try to force their way inside Knocking and banging they pound the door And they thrash the windows' boards... the roof... the walls... Listen! I'm the one your kids will be taught to fear, I'm a scary tale 'cause when sun shines the Earth is mine, that's when by my hand you will die And every night I fight a war that's lost Aware that even if I'm killed I'll live in your minds Forever and ever I'll haunt your dreams, My memory'll be enough to chill your spine One more night shatters my nerves, and shreds my sanity away Starving they scream their hunger as they try to draw me out One more sunrise breaks the spell, releases me from this hell To cast me into a new nightmare where nothing I knew has remained I'm what you'll never be again, one of a kind I am your fear ... your hate ... your doom I am legend Hear me! I'm the last one left of a long gone kind, I stand alone But as sun sets and darkness falls with hundreds voices the air comes alive And every night they're comin' out for me With hate filled rage they try to force their way inside Knocking and banging they pound the door And they thrash the windows' boards: the roof One more night shatters my nerves, and shreds my sanity away Starving they scream their hunger as they try to draw me out One more sunrise breaks the spell, releases me from this hell To cast me into a new nightmare where nothing I knew has remained

The golden shadow Of the pleasure dome Floated midway on the waves Of the river Alph "In Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure dome decree... Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Down to a sunless sea So twice Fice miles of fertile ground with towers and walls were girdled round And here were gardens bright With sinuous... rills And here were forests, forests as ancient as the hills Enfolding sunny, spots of greenery" A mystic reign on the Asian coast was located A miracle of rare device... A sunny pleasure-dome was built Over the winding enchanting icy caves The silence ruled among the sacred lands Of Xanadu From a raging dance of rocks, since the dawn of Time It flings up the holy turbid stream In this ageless tumult, Kubla Khan heard from Far Ancestral voices prophesying... war! A savage place! ...a vision in a dream! And beyond wood and dale there was An endless abyss where the river Would sank in turmoil to a lifeless ocean Alight by the shine of A feeble waning moon Lost in the sky ...and still some whispers in the midnight breeze remind us again the beauty of Xanadu!

[Zeus:] "Lord of shades, I swear you... Persephone will be your bride By your side she will become Queen of Hades" Since that damned day, the grim King of the Reign of darkness was waiting for the fate to be fulfilled Knowing not the deal the girl was gathering flowers in the Nisa's plain when the infernal chariot came Suddenly the sun was covered by gloomy clouds and an icy wind started to blow Under her feet a deep chasm was opened wide and with a cold embrace she was stolen from the light [Hades:] "The Father of gods has decreed your doom Since so long time An endless reign you will rule by my side Of death you'll be the queen!" The Demethra's rage was so terrible that all the earth was tormented by a long famine A sad winterseason crawled in every land bringing to all the men sufferings and pain But condemned by a pomegranate Persephone's doom was sealed

No man who beheld her could not fall She had eyes of diamond and silken hair Such a beauty was consumed inside The fire of pride burned in her heart That fire so many led to ruin Ended by being the cause of her disgrace Medusa dared to compare herself To the golden armed daughter of Zeus An affront the goddess could not bear A revenge so cruel made her who Was once by all loved and admired Become a monster feared by the whole mankind Medusa's beautiful hair turned to A tangle of poisonous snakes Horrible scales covered her skin Her eyes grew cold Her gaze as sharp as wind in a winter night Could chill the blood in the bravest heart Turning into stone whoever dared Into those hollow eyes to stare Her fate was so fulfilled She lurked quietly in her cave among statues of stone Brooding over her hate Shrouded in shades Medusa dared to compare herself To the golden armed daughter of Zeus An affront goddess could not bear A revenge so cruel made her who Was once by all loved and admired Become a monster feared by the whole mankind Those who beheld, froze in fear Drained of all their life At the sight

At the dawn of time when the Earth was young A battle was wildly raging The reign of Cronos fell down to pieces by Tytan's rage he was dethroned Under Zeus' leadership the victory was reached In the gloomy depths of Tartaros the tyrant was exiled Then only wastelands and silent valleys were left where life once dwelled By clay and fire Prometheus created the first man while Zeus breathed the life into him From the sacred hands of Gods humanity was born But their souls were not complete yet 'cause fear possessed Zeus' thoughts Prometheus couldn't bear Zeus arrogance [Prometheus:] "Mankind deserves more, they need our help!" but the father of Gods just made his choice [Zeus:] "I don't want them to threaten me, one day! This mortal breed must remain as weak as the animals they are!" So, Prometheus understood there was nothing more to do The time for wise words comes to an end And he decided... To give mankind a hope He stole the fire from The chariot of the Sun A spark was hidden in a hollow wood The fire changed man's doom But horrible was Prometheus' fate When from the sky Zeus saw the flames burning bright To a column he was chained on the Caucasus peak By Efestus he was trapped, Tormented by an eagle's jaws

A shade of terror Right before midnight He sent some guards to search for her Orpheus' soul was slowly drowning Into a pit of burning fear His love was lost As he discovered Eurydice's sad fate A twisted thought went through his mind He sailed to north following the coast of The Ionic Sea heading for the Dark river Styx Enchanting Charon Orpheus reached Those shores full of shades In the Reign of the damned By his golden lyre He brought peace for a while With the Queen of Hades A deal was made A new hope for his bride The nymph could return Back to life again But on the path that leads to light Orpheus must not take a single look at her Or she'd belong to death's Realm Forevermore When the warm rays of the morning sun Broke the darkness of the cave For a moment he forgot the deal And he lost his beloved bride Again

The eternal gates' terrific porter Lifted the northern bar Thel entered in and saw the secrets of The land unknown She saw the couches of the dead And where the fibrous roots Of every heart on Earth infixes deep its restless twists She wandered in the land of clouds through valley dark, listening dolours and lamentations dolours and lamentations Waiting oft besides a devy grave She stood in silence Listening to the voices of the ground She stood so still Until to her own grave plot She came, and there she sat (down) And heard this voice of sorrow breathed From the hollow pit Why cannot the Ear be closed to it's own destruction? Or the glistening eye (to the) poison (of a) smile? Why are Eyelids store with arrows ready drawn Where a thousand fighting men in ambush... lie? Secrets of the Earth Why a tongue impressed with honey from every wind? Why an Ear, a whirlpool fierce to drawn creations in? And Why a little curtain of flesh On the bed of our desire...
