Moonspell Alpha Noir 1. Axis Mundi Ipso Facto, Axis Mundi! Sandtime bled, die for the truth Drop of plague in the vein of the crowd One will be enough to suffocate The misery this world has turned into Ergo a cabeça sim mas apenas para sentir a lâmina fria que me beija a nuca [English translation: Yes I raise my head but only to feel the cold blade that kisses my nape] Ipso Facto, Axis Mundi! Poison dart shot in the poor Seed of hope spilled by the sick Another lie will be enough to illuminate The misery the race has turned into Ergo a cabeça sim mas apenas para sentir a lâmina fria que me beija a nuca Ipso Facto, Axis Mundi! Equinox in every word Falling leaves in every soul In every word in every soul We're lost in a dying world 2. Lickanthrope Wolves gleam in human eyes Stealing tears from divine Break of hope, break of necks, hand on leash Can’t go wrong, lickanthrope! Heart of a wolf breaking the bitter skin Under the chaos, under the moon The pack is gathering Little red, riding hood Godspeed, prostitute! Under the stars, under Venus The flock keeps giving The night swallows the day Her lips find a way We don’t want to be saved Lickanthrope Veil of a queen tying the hands of a king In the name of the species, under the silks Let the games begin! Little red, riding hood Godspeed your destitute Under the stars, under Venus The clock is ticking Lunar skin, white as pearl Collar wine, reap the thine Ride the bitch to ecstasy Can’t go wrong, lickanthrope! 3. Versus I am thinking vultures ripping the flesh, Smashing the bone I am thinking hailstones shot to the head, Making the giant fall I am hearing pipes, the pipes of Pan, I know it’s wrong I am hearing lies, the lies of man: They’re written in the stars above! So crawl back to your hole! Wait for thy kingdom come So crawl back to your hole! Tonight no one will come The fire can’t tame us We’re not making peace And haters can’t break us We’re growing fierce In the end of times, no prophecy just you and me In the end of times, the thrill of the flight I am here to take your life I am thinking snake oil rubbed in the skin Enter the poison! I am thinking arrows stuck in the heart All men are mortal I am biting the apple, the rotten core The worm wants more I am healing the blind, the book of the dead Be prepared to meet your end! 4. Alpha Noir Let the good men crush What they love It makes them feel alive Let the fair men build them crosses And crucify So let the wise men write Our death threats, in Bible paper Let their message be sent Throughout the thunder Throughout the underworld Throughout the Alpha Alpha Noir, we want a new world! Alpha Noir, our truth, our code! Let the good men search Revolve their graves For a shade of paradise Let the lion’s flesh perfume the widow And sanctify! Let the weak man have The final word Order from Chaos Let their secret be known Throughout the underworld Throughout the thunder Throughout the Alpha Alpha Noir, we want a new world! Alpha Noir, our truth, our code! 5. Em Nome Do Medo Em nome do medo, do medo sem fim Na ira dos deuses, caímos enfim A vida cruel, tormenta assim, O céu que nos esmaga n’ausência de ti Em nome do medo, do medo sem fim Sou sangue de teu sangue Sou luz que se expande Sou medo de teu medo Senhor do teu tempo Em nome do medo Negro alfabeto do chão te levanta Tua confianca jamais se aquebranta Comemos os frutos de tao triste jardim Faltou-nos o tempo, chegamos ao fim Em nome do medo Sou sangue de teu sangue Sou luz que se expande Sou medo de teu medo Senhor do teu tempo Em nome do medo Mas nem o vento por terra me deita E nem o fogo por dentro me quiema Sou sangue de teu sangue Sou luz que se expande Sou medo de teu medo Senhor do teu tempo Em nome do medo. [English translation:] (Mas nem o vento por terra me deita E nem o fogo por dentro me queima) In the name of fear, fear without end In the wrath of the gods, we fall ultimately The cruel life cruel, that so storms The sky that crushes us in the absence of thee In the name of fear, fear without end I am blood of your blood I am the light that expands I am fear of your fear Lord of your time In the name of fear Black alphabet from the floor raises you Your confidence will never break We eat the fruits of such sad garden We lacked the time, we reach the end In the name of fear I am blood of your blood I am the light that expands I am fear of your fear Lord of your time In the name of fear But neither wind throws me to the ground Nor the fire on the inside burns me I am blood of your blood I am the light that expands I am fear of your fear Lord of your time In the name of fear 6. Opera Carne Red meat is the inner shrine of our immortal soul The heart breaking out illusions of innocent blood Desire is pain Eating away the worm in the brain Our flesh burns in mysterious ways Gray matter is the unholy clay of our address on Earth Frontiers are coming down between body and the soul Abrasive, insane Putting away the spark in the brain Our flesh works in mysterious ways Our flesh burns in mysterious ways. 7. Love Is Blasphemy In your thoughts “Behold the bridegroom cometh In the middle of the night” Behold the rats who follow him Why do they want our destruction? Do broken men still sail in your blade Are your bravest still afraid Now it’s the womb that chases the seed Now it’s the time of the need Of hunger and revolt Inverting our thoughts Forever hold Forever sworn Forever mine It’s the time to know, it’s the time to see! Love is blasphemy In your thoughts Behold the gloom bride coming Riding the tail of the star Beware the scum who follows her Now it’s the time of the kill. 8. Grandstand So many stars above our heads and yet we choose to starve So many stones out there to turn and yet we choose to ignore Thousands I wish to corrupt, their sons I seek to mislead Damned forever be your dreams, I reject my destiny To see what hides behind the mask To live, to lust and make it last To take the grandstand on the top of the world And scream the truth: what does not kill, hurts us So many ways out there to thread and yet we choose to turn back So many choices we could have made and yet we choose to kneel down Thousands I wish to corrupt, their sons I seek to mislead Damned forever be your dreams, I reject my destiny To see what hides behind the mask To live, to lust and make it last To take the grandstand on the top of the world And scream the truth: what does not kill, hurts us. 9. Sine Missione [Instrumental] 10. White Omega [Start of bonus disc "Omega White"] It's when we fall down on our knees to suck the mouth of each other It's when life's so precious that every moment hurts That I fear for myself From the trees our bodies, swaying Once we were the lovers, engaging below them Indifferent... Now it's the world that went on There was no time to be strong Now it's the world that went on Indifferent to us It's when you invade me again In our judgment day we won't be together Our time has come Again I fear for myself From the trees our bodies, swaying Once we were the lovers, engaging below them Indifferent... Now it's the world that went on There was no time to be strong Now it's the world that went on Indifferent to us 11. White Skies White skies roar with battle cries Haters meet, lovers die And I wait for your touch now My flesh in yours, and yours in mine Once again I am raising my blade This time we face each other By these hands - untouched By these lips - unspoken Every heart - a jewel Every heart - a stronghold Skies come down! White skies roar with battle cries Haters meet, lovers die And I wait for your love now We came so close, too close to turn back Once again, I have your life in my hands It's brothers against brothers By these hands - untouched By these lips - unspoken Every heart - a jewel Every heart - a stronghold Skies come down! White skies roar with battle cries Haters meet, lovers die 12. Fireseason Where, where is everyone gone tonight? Looking behind to seek for forgiveness Try, you can never stop to try Life doesn't wait and time runs too tight sometimes Fire... Season Fire... Too much is forbidden Desire...

Taking it back as if you're not real Cry, you can never stop to cry Nothing was left, not a shred of life tonight Fire... Season Fire... Too much is forbidden Desire... To enter the season Of fire... Too much is forbidden Taken away in the night 13. New Tears Eve Our seals were so easily broken Our hopes were so silently crushed Still our hearts can't be broken Still our hearts will hold 'Cause once we were kings Made friends with the beast And thus we shall fall And thus we shall see What the future brings New Tears Eve Green light, deep inside the night Tonight we're hateful Our words take the shape of our secrets Silent vows, violently crushed Still our minds to be open, still our heads hang low 'Cause once we were kings Made friends with the beast And thus we shall fall And thus we shall see What the future brings New Tears Eve Green light, deep inside the night Tonight we're hateful 14. Herodisiac And then the wine as if his blood And then the cracks as if was cruelty By her lips his words are swallowed Her tongue a blizzard No reflection in the mirror, no resistance! The skin gave the lamb away The stars are hiding in the shade Sweat running down the riverbed Tonight I sleep in the chamber of the queen And then the blood as if was wine Your sacred lips will never dry now that you're mine Your father's apple stuck in my throat No reflection in the mirror, no salvation! The skin gave the lamb away The stars are hiding in the shade Sweat running down the riverbed Tonight I sleep in the chamber of the queen 15. Incantatrix Seasons came and seasons went Rocked to sleep through the sounds of hate Your prince was born without a face Something too bright, fades away I've lost your trace Seasons came and seasons went Marched to battle in thy name Your throne is now an empty place We fill your heart with naked flames When you're afraid, just call my name I'll keep you safe until it's day again Can you feel the heartbeat, through the sea and the mist In the wake of the witch, through the shadows and hate I've lost your grace, I've lost your trace People die and times they end Watch you past far away The throne sits now in empty lands We crushed your heart with naked hands 16. Sacrificial Like a stain of guilt never washed away The world made flesh on the seventh day And we engage in carnal trade Knowing things will never be the same My tongue is so dry... her mouth is divine A sacrifice it had to be done Upon the ashes of the kingdom come There is no reward for making things right There is no glory in sparing one's life Like the first of sins there is no one to blame The earth grew wet on the seventh day And we sit down for a feast of hate We eat each other in a twist of fate My tongue is so dry... Her mouth is divine A sacrifice it had to be done Upon the ashes of the kingdom come There is no reward for making things right There is no glory in sparing one's life Blood-knives drawing to entertain the pain The world is watching, demanding 17. A Greater Darkness A greater darkness for all it's worth A friend so young who's life was cut We drink the rain to clear our throats We drink the poison to make it go The little mercies above all things No final act. no final scene A friend for life and in death too Forever strong, forever hold, inside our soul So raise your hands above the waters We are the thieves in giant shoulders Se raise your hands, our hearts sink lower To watch you drown inside the monster The day now ends and all within A greater darkness covers everything Is there no end for such a pain Is there no hope, no other life no way to know? So raise your hands above the waters We are the thieves in giant shoulders Se raise your hands, our hearts sink lower To watch you drown inside the monster So raise your hands inside the monster [End of bonus disc "Omega White"] Miguel Gaspar ?
