Lyrics:
We’re stabbing the million of us
With countless empty words
But now I need your trust
To build up a brand new world
We’re stabbing the million of us
With countless empty eyes
But now I see how fast our lives fade away
My home, the change, the dream, the end
I visualize in my mind an inner place to reach
Where to hide, where two towers stand so tall and high
In the sky, their limit is lost among the clouds
Far from sight, cannot know what to expect from me
We always make decisions about what is good or bad
Perspectives for the future are shiny fruits on trees
We always make decisions about what is good or bad
Those things to left behind, like dried fallen leaves
My home, the change, the dream, the end
I visualize in my mind an inner place to reach
Where to hide, where two towers stand so tall and high
In the sky, their limit is lost among the clouds
Far from sight, cannot know what to expect from me

Lyrics:
Moon shines over the trees
Night wind is swirling while a gente wolf sings
Black hair is casting her spell
And dew drops will ring the morning bell
Come now open the chest
This treasure is worth the dragon breath
No more need to pretend
Now close your eyes and hold my hand
Please sun hear the cry of this soul
Dry all the tears flowing onto my face
Please sun open wide my eyes
Show me the lonely road of life
Now I am ready for a second rebirth
From a crysalis I’ll bloom
Towards the sun I’ll finally go
With nor hesitation nor fear
I trust a hope kept far from this world
So please hold my hand
All the wild flames in the night we meet
Making my wine tasting now so sweet
Mankind’s lost its blanked mind
Drink with me and we will find

Lyrics:
In the night of times I dream on
But tonight the silence is screaming
In the night of times I dream my home
Every night I see the river
Of sins and fallen fables
And I hear the silent scream “My home”
I hear the sun going down
Above this fragile boy
And still the sorrow remains
Until the sun goes down, floating on this bloody sea
Until the sun goes down, please remind on me
And now you show me something I’m not so proud to see
I’m floating all alone, so far away, so far today
You’re feeling your emptiness of countless empty words
You feel you have no more trust to build a brand new world
You’re feeling your emptiness of countless empty eyes
Right now I can see how fast our lives will fade away
I will remember
I will discover
Into this fire
Into this tower
And now I feel your tower is getting weaker
And now you feel the flood is getting higher
Silent screaming, no more bleeding, no escape from fire
My desire, deaf desire, there’s no dream to hire
And now you feel your tower slowly getting weaker
And now you feel the flood, slowly getting higher
Free all the sorrow, lying on my gloomy face
It’s just a paradise, caught in my mind
Free all the sorrow, flowing on my deadly fate
No time to realize, I’m forever blind
I’m staring at stars tonight
Forever blind

Lyrics:
Panting in anguish
Around me only fog
Leaded raindrops are thrashing my skin
A dead baby is maturing in my womb to be littered by a burnt witch
I drink from the spring poisoned by unsleeping mind’s miasmas
Paranoid is overcoming the bridge in between internal abysses
To perceive the lament of the damned through tenebras hiding them from sight
Feel the sickness in your limbs as you’re nailed down to the ground
Hammering swarms of blind insects are scratching to blood this human cattle
We are the mercy of everything, whilst reigning onto nothing
There is no other street to follow to get out from this infernal maze
The black guardians are staring us
Creeping in this horrendous mental mud
Contorted bodies deformed now rot represent my innermost thoughts
As I’m vanishing from the real life
To isolate myself before they can see
We bow down to false interior idols
Horrible voices howling inside
Hear the whips of chaos within

Lyrics:
Sevenfold thy heaven, oh innocent
Let me push myself in thee
I am going to bath in the pool of blind insanity
To reach the edge where Christ’s doctrine hangs
Tortured it will be by those blades you’ll ever deny to see
You are the key to the abyss
Unconscious door to Satan
Rumors in your head, it’s me
Oh incredible desire
Splashing where the light fades away
Where demons call forth my name
Winds – sweep away all fears
Night – lick perversed my soul
I am the subtle death
The cancer that breaths inside your brain is the very link to hell
Open up thy mind to worship me below
You are the key to the abyss
Oh unconscious door to Me
You are the key to the abyss
Welcome to my hell

Lyrics:
Those creatures
Bloating, contorting, entwining, multiplying
Invading my space and my mind
I will dance among unhumans
Lost in time and whirlpools of water
Liquid rancid minds, former boiling broth
Insanity unveiled as deadly thoughts are freed
Odd nature revealed, feel their pleasure sad
Seeing my ego overwhelmed
Algae evolving to living complex forms
Virus of hate is seeded in the depths of my hypotalamic pool
Souls are dancing, melting in the sea
Clouds are spawning bloody children
Swallowed be their soft red bodies
To reflow on earth in form of water
Creatures of the underworld

Lyrics:
Charade
A musicbox clinging out nightmares is exploding in my head
Like the bullet swallowed by the suicide hangs on the tree of Judas
Indistinct sounds emerge from the innermost depths of the unknown universe
Webs weaved by the spiders dwelling in my scars
Moon becomes a smile strangling me like an umbilical cord
Nobody is allowed to sleep entangled in those moanings
Splitting up two perfect halves of the eternal contrast
An odd fight between what you are and what you should be
An uncomplete charade, a persistent game
Undeletable like a malediction is afflicting my flesh wet by fear
Slay the aborted phoetus
Letterless anagram

19 Lug 2015 - - Theory & Philosophy
I always hated modes. Let me explain why in few, clear, points.
There are a few Greek names for the modal scales, one per each degree of the major scale plus some other ones. For all the other scales, those names are enriched with other suffixes coming from the remaining part of the musical theory, sometimes describing some specific interval, other times in a totally arbitrary fashion. At the end, I should learn all names of all modal scales of all possible scales, beside their intervals sequence? Overall, it looks like an unfinished work. Someone started this sort of musical masturbation, realized that if you really apply modes, the number of scales and all their degrees is potentially infinite, so he abandoned the logic after 2 or 3 scales… (major, harmonic and melodic minors). For example, why the modes of the Enigmatic Scale do not have a name? What about pentatonics? Can you tell the names of the modes of a pentatonic scale? Do you really study them?
A mode is simply a scale that is created with notes from another scale starting at a specific degree of the source scale. So, for a scale made up of 7 notes, there are 7 modes. But when I play music and not exercises, there is not a boundary at the beginning or at the end of a scale, nor I am forced to play it in its entirety. So what mode am I playing? Am I able to say it?
If I play without a background chord or note, am I albe to really identify the mode?
Ok this sentence will crumble you down, I know! Let me make a comparison between playing a scale and drawing something, it will clear things out!
I was thought that a specific scale played upon different chords have different sounds, because the intervals related to the notes of the backing chord are different. That’s the basic principle of using modes… C Major notes played upon a D Minor produces a D Dorian because of the natural B… well, actually it produces what it actually is: a C Major upon a D Minor, not anything else.
Yet the notes C D E F G A B will continue to sound as C D E F G A B, whatever the backing chord is.
If I change the order or start from another point in the scale do I need to learn something new? Why an ordered sequence like D E F G A B C has the right to have a name and fingerings to study and other combinations do not have that right? Why not saying that E G D F A C B is a new mode or give it a name for the pupils to work on? Still looks like a crappy blind creativeless and soulless approach to me.
Let’s see how it works with something visual: put a blue figure on a white sheet. What do you see? Simple: a blue figure on a white background, that’s all!!
Now, put the same blue figure on another paper (a red paper for example). What do you see? It’s obvious: the same blue figure on a red background. I don’t see, nor you will, a different figure, neither a figure with different color…. it’s just a combination of things that remains the same, it may be great to see or not, but the blue figure remains exactly that.
Now…. if that blue shape was a musical scale, it should magically change while remaining the same?!?! Why??
Another example: you have a family and they shot a picture with some landscape behind. You change the order of the people in the picture or the landscape and you get another family with another name?!?! No!! Why is this accepted in music?!?
