lyrics

Out of the visions and eerie voices
The morning light is shining bright again
Trying to conceal a rising ruin
And remnants of a kingdom to rebuild

A curse ignored, above us, hovering in wait
To grab our bodies, weakened, lying in despair

A favour from the skies
A poisoned gift, disguised
My words are doomed to lapse
Into the depths of silence

The serpent made its choice
An honour conferred by the crown
A promise now betrayed
And then the pact is broken



The scene was whispered by distant figures
A buried premonition yet untold
Smother the urges, turn off the flicker
But after all these presages reborn

A simple mortal's view could only be denied
Within a circle where the lofty souls preside

An army raised to clear
The fetters to their dreams
The blindfold disappeared
Under the weight of violence

Defeated by the void
The drifting vessel lost its way
Among the dazzled mob
The circus lives forever



A sudden lightning in the night
Perfume of darkness starts to emanate
And as the crowds begin to shake
The dire oracles feed on our deepest fears

The end is coming
The bell is tolling
Beholding, announcing
The sentence of the crime



A last orison, a final life
Somewhere the scythe is hiding in the dusk
Showing the way leading to pyres
The deafening howls afar are burning like a scar

The curtain’s falling
The ants are swarming
Escaping, awaiting
The sentence of the crime



Fate has spoken now
Sceneries fading out
Swallowed in the loins of a ravaged ground
Where the seeds of gold will dwell

Hour of divine
Leaving us behind
Lurking in the dark, the yellow eyes observe
Unleashing the creatures of the flames to reign

Run away
Run away



Pandora's box, evils spread out
Pandora's box, hope will remain
