MAKE THE IGUANA Asking for answers that won’t be given ‘Why do we live?’ ‘How we came here?’ Pick some water and put it into a big, strange glass thing, add a fire under First you have to set the atmosphere: add two electrodes then get ready for the show People chattin’ without knowin’ what they’re saying ‘Where is the truth?’ ‘Why is so hard to find?’ Make the iguana! ‘Why is life so hard to understand?’ ‘Is the answer hidden in science?’

THROUGH THE GATES OF TIME We drink from the source of time And wait for our secret destination Nothing is lost along the wheel of fate Why we have to grow only to fade away after finding ourselves? Be once again! A new life rises from the deep mist of unconscious The age of men is eternity The endless inconstancy Impulse of the divine spirit New aims new directions Following the eternal circle Smokes of purple ether Blowing old dreams of the future Life and death are snakes That draw the spiral of the ages A seed is a flower Every man’s a plan to achieve Through the gates of time We may see a new beginning At the fall of ages Nothing will be lost forever Why we have to grow only to fade away after finding ourselves? Be once again! The reasons of the past carry the patterns Of all our possible futures Through the gates of time Death dances with life We are still what we were we are already what we’ll be We see the sun go down We know it will come back to shine Along the threads of night Our arms are all raised up to the sky Death collects our fears The lights of heaven dazzle and darken Life puts in a new shape What in Chaos had been dissolved Through the gates of time We may see a new beginning At the fall of ages Nothing will be lost forever Why we have to grow only to fade away after finding ourselves? Be once again! The reasons of the past carry the patterns Of all our possible futures Through the gates of time death dances with life We are still what we were we are already what we’ll be Through the gates of time Death dances with life Through the gates of time Death dances with life There’s no beginning, there’s no end, everything lives (why do we have to grow only to fade away after finding ourselves? Be once again!)

OVER THE EDGE Below the ice, above the snow From Ynys Pryden we departed To search Divinity and to know Who we were when all was started; Night and day now are confused In smokes and fate’s fogs, The Drakkar fights in the sea and proceeded For the deep dens of the Lords’s dogs. We are men, we are Gods, We don’t need to serve the Lord: Over the Edge we’ll go again, Over the Edge we’ll live again. But now is strange, we feel a presence In the seas and someone’s fear That what we do, it isn’t clear And our left has a baleful influence. But over the Edge we are free and alone By God that wants our life and blood, Free from this small and pathetic world That needs someone to dictate law. We are men, we are Gods, we don’t need to serve the Lords: over the Edge we’ll go again, over the Edge we’ll live again. And now we see the edge at last, We will know who created the past And this fateful future that we have, Will not weak our heart. With our swords we’ll brave the power With our shields we’ll execute the liars, With our hearts we’ll live after gate With our souls we’ll create our fate. We are men, we are Gods, we don’t need to serve the Lord: over the Edge we’ll go again, over the Edge we’ll live again.

Horizon 04:24
HORIZON Endless depths surround you, Waiting for the souls Promised by the ocean, To the envious God of Seas. Shipwrecking bodies carry the secret, The new world will be forgotten. Shipwrecking bodies carry the secret, The new world will be forgotten. Dead eyes watch for the last time The horizon in the North. Empty spaces, fulfilled of light, Remind you a childhood dream Now the seashore is there, The anchors are set, The forgotten land awaits, And the skies are open for you. Walking in lost fields You see bright stars In the dark skies They shine. Halls of eternity hails you, For you blood is now glorious, For your name will last forever, ‘til the stars will beat, They’ll beat your name ‘til the stars will beat your name.

STARWAY'S END End is near but I’m not scared From darkness new light will rise. I know that between stars hand of angels they hide Their tears will mark my path And on soft wings I’ll land there, Where nothing is created, nothing is lost Ancient black hole will tear flesh away to open the eyes of the Ancient black hole will tear flesh away to open the eyes of the Ancient black hole will tear flesh away to open the eyes of the Ancient black hole will tear flesh away to open the eyes of the soul. Protect me, astral strength In your hand you will carry The deadly destiny of the world And with your eyes you’ve seen The story of wandering spirits Like me roaming to reach the starway’s end. Ancient black hole will tear flesh away to open the eyes of the Ancient black hole will tear flesh away to open the eyes of the Ancient black hole will tear flesh away to open the eyes of the Ancient black hole will tear flesh away to open the eyes of the soul. End is near but I’m not scared From darkness new light will rise.

Prophecy 05:06
PROPHECY Now We stand Silent Waiting for the Moment Disclosure fulfillment Of the prophecy Time has come to face the end Through her eyes, through black holes... Stars Collapsing A path Of dark suns The future Has died The past Will disappear... Time has come to face the end Through her eyes, through black holes... The Time has come to face the end Through her eyes, through black holes... to face the end Through her eyes, through black holes...

LA VERGINE E IL LUPO Giungo dalle steppe mie care Stanotte, del buio col favore. Com’ella, dall’arido mio cuore Nessuna sì mi fu dato amare Così meditando andava il lupo Guidato dal chiaro della luna E come s’appressava alla padrona L’animo via via si fea men cupo Mio diletto, la tua bocca sa di sangue Ed è questo un mesto tratto tuo avito Ma un barlume di purezza pur sopito Nel tuo petto gramo e fiero giace e langue Madama, tal è la mia natura Io certo non scelsi d’esser fiera E supplice, in questa notte nera Asilo chiedo appo la tua verzura E dimmi, orsù, che posso fare, S’il mio cuor davvero può esser puro? Dimmi se può il mio animo oscuro Alfin divenir degno del tuo amore. Mio diletto, qui riposa il petto stanco: Non temere per la tua triste sorte Ma rifuggi la paura della morte, Giaci finalmente qui al mio fianco.

WIND OF TRUTH The glory of hunt turns Into revenge When the slaughter shows us The village's end Everything's destroyed Our thirst of blood will follow These sacred wind of truth And in the end We'll free our hearts from hell Wind of truth Following ancient holy words That wind's offering us, We'll go to search the cowards That ransacked our home They will die \

WIND OF QUEST So here we are. Following the path, the path of our quest. The path that leads us from our wreck To our revenge. There’s nothing behind us And we still not know what we’ll find further. What does await us. Mesmerizing is the dusk The sun is now sinking in a bloody sea. We’re neglecting the last flashes of light Marching toward the forest; Toward the incoming dark of the night. Some of us are crying There’s no honor to keep now safe But everyone still march Now in this gloomy forest. Ghosts are the trees In the shade of this moonless night. Together we walk In the shade of this moonless night. Hungry are the wolves In the shade of this moonless night. Tired we are In the shade of this moonless night. But there’s no time to rest In the shade of this moonless night. Stars will guide our quest In the shade of this moonless night. The forest’s edge is now behind After the gloom of this moonless night. A new sun rises up from the hill After the gloom of this moonless night.

WIND OF REVENGE We grasp our axes Get ready for the battle Victory will be ours Finally our revenge Will be attained and Our thirst of blood satiated In this butchery dance We will stain our hands With the venom of your dirty hearts Cowards that destroyed The village now are here In front of us and they will die The slaughter is beginning Torn bodies fall to the ground In lakes of blood Victory is ours and the wind of revenge blows for us victory is ours We’re laughing and dancing On your dead bodies Oh, there will be no more redemption Taint air with your souls Now we overtake the sky Now we are rising lights Finally our revenge Is finished and Our thirst of blood satiated

WIND OF WISDOM Comin’ out victoriously From the slaughter We offer our enemy The divine feast When new heroes Toast to the future Peace anymore disturbed By deadly enemy Dawn catches us in the fog, our veins Still warm for victory and Fear storms us A new terrible curse has attacked us Our destroyed houses still smoke Our houses still smoke Sun, get up on their minds! And then feeling, gather us! Relief and amazement Converge in an omen of death! Someone looks for his bride Not knowing that Her blood is different But the cries are the same Who knows, now, keeps silent With sadness and shame A man still drags fool, Gripping a bloodless child A known figure, ‘come out of the shade!’ His sad face in the awareness The old man reveals his truth, to who Had not heard his words This ruinous certainty slips in our minds Enemy blood has not brought back to life our sons After laughs the tears of drunks Who has conscience keeps silent Legionary of this new wisdom, who’s standing Drags his companion along the road to home... Who has conscience keeps silent Legionary of this new wisdom, who’s standing Drags his companion along the road to home Towards a village, towards his destiny
