01. darkness and hope
-----------------------------------------------------------
So this is
the exemplar deathstyle
you told me about;
you want my seed in
is this the treason
I bare the fame from?
my fatal freedom;
the omniswansong
I carry the news of Darkness and hope
So this is
the underworld
you have in your heart;
you hide in your room
I´m so sorry to say
it only makes me laugh
I carry the news of Darkness and hope
So here I have-your act of love
within the poison-of your every word
each night you stay in-each night I will have to run
knowing from darkness and hope
there is no return.
I carry the news of darkness and hope.
dedicated to the small great people of Saboia, Alentejo, Portugal.
Hang, rope, silver bullet,magic pill,mandrake´s root. The southern deathstyle
02. firewalking
----------------------------------------------------------
Help me fall from grace
need you to be Incomplete
I am the impostor at your feet
is it your first time
or have you been tempted before
downward into the pulsing life
laying below
try firewalking inside of Me
when everything (else) falls apart
won´t you fall from grace
I am at a wingbeat
from my retreat
is it your first time or have you been tempted before
downward into the pulsing secret
laying below
try firewalking inside of Me
when everything (else) falls apart
03. nocturna
-----------------------------------------------------------
High heels of crystal
stuck in the heart
daylight that heals
the fullmoon scars
Spider strategy
and the wish to be
at one with me
throughout the fright
It is so real
So full of light
(when)Nocturna steals the night
Sister of cain
all our breed slain
the youthful oath
is still the same
le mal de vivre
that never ends
but the hunt (for you) goes on
throughout the night
It is so real
So full of light
(when) Nocturna steals the night
04. heartshaped abyss
-----------------------------------------------------------
Never resist
The firewalker
He has been sent
To educate you
never look back
at the great Deep
and never dance to
that curse he sings
Never resist
The life long Pessimist
he is the leader
and not the enemy
My heart complete
put to destroy you
my darkness is obsolete
please let me follow you
And when we meet there
Into the Heartshaped abyss
you´ll scar my your kiss
and when we meet there
into the heartshaped abyss
you´ll forgive me everything
scared away
get away
Never resist the firewalker
he has been sent to lay a curse on you
never look back;never resist
Liar I am ready to push you
And when we meet there
Into the Heartshaped abyss
you´ll scar my your kiss
and when we meet there
into the heartshaped abyss
you´ll forgive me everything
scared away
get away
Let´s get away from this world
to a place we are still beautiful
Abismo portátil, em forma de coração
05. devilred
-----------------------------------------------------------
She wears devilRed
she sweats the poison
-all over her
keeps me quiet
-inside her storm
she has the method
-no other knows
red as the veins,she likes to swim in
floating so gently,through this human misery
She must be a part
Of a Highest Plan
Something I can´t understand
she wears devilRed
She´s selling a damned soul
To whoever pays the most
Her body-the cure
for all evil and good
red as the veins
she likes to swim in
floating so gently
through this human misery
She must be a part
Of the Highest Plan
Something I can´t understand
she wears devilRed
devilred
06. ghostsong
-----------------------------------------------------------
Outside the mythic Rains
let us know we are not insane
blood debts still to be paid
(instead)we celebrate the Stranger
Inside the mythic Pains are played
blood doubts are asked again
beware the answers you can not tame
(might)take you too far away
Say what you are
Come here to haunt you
Say what you will
I am going haunt you
And protect you
I am going hurt you
And if we survive this dawn
we wish we´d see the Day
die to comeback a single time
that face in the window
is never the same
Say what you are
Come here to haunt you
Say what you will
I am going haunt you
And protect you
I am going hurt you
III/IX/MM-Aurora
07. rapaces
-----------------------------------------------------------
eternal life runs so slow
while you play your lamentation show
eternal kisses are cold
why do you think they are beautiful?
Let the candles burn
And the stakes go through the soul
not all vampires suck blood
not all of them die for love
eternal life runs- so very slow
impossible-so very wrong wrong
final prayers are loud
how do you think that yours will sound?
not all romantic wounds
some of us are strong
not all vampires suck blood
not all of them die for love
eternal life runs so very slow
you are the star of my lamentation show
eternal kisses are gold
yes I think they are beautiful
let all candles burn
some of us are strong
not all vampires suck blood
not all of them die for love
08. made of storm
-----------------------------------------------------------
I am the flood
who drags the dirt
and lives on it
She is the soil
with whom I flirt
and rots with it
I am the flood
who purifies
I guess she calls Me
the Lord of Lies
when I´m inside her
feels like she is
made of Storm
I am the flood
who likes the dirt
and sleeps with it
she is the soil
with whom I flirt
she rots within
I am the flood
who purifies
She does not know
she´s fucking with
the Lord of Lies
when I´m inside her
feels like she is
made of Storm
09. how we became fire
-----------------------------------------------------------
how we became Fire?
slaves to the smaller Desire
of ignoring wrong and right
when we could have been water
the shape of all things
the end of all things
burning with you
at once the grace
and the curse
how we became Fire?
when we could have been earth
the ground you sleep,rest in
when we could have been air
follow you everywhere
burning with you
at once the grace
and the curse
how we became Fire ?
slaves to the greater Desire
of enlighten you and I
of saving you and I
10. than the serpents in my arms
-----------------------------------------------------------
”Dorme, dorme meu menino
dorme no mar dos sargaços
que mais vale o mar a pino
que as serpentes nos meus braços”
-Mário Cesáriny
And when all life as you know it
-fails
all ghostlike lips taste just the
-same
What better comfort can you find
Than the serpents in my arms
Sleep, sleep now my child
In the sea of crystal Trouble
For better is the violent sigh
Than all that you leave behind
In your eyes a dark so subtle
Tells you walk, but never fly
To leave us all behind
And when all life as you know it
-fails
all ghostlike lips taste just the
-same
What better comfort can you find
Than the serpents in my arms
Down, down terrible child
To look at it is a sin
For better is to hold that smile
Than all that you leave behind
In your eyes a mark so subtle
Tells you walk, but never fly
To leave us all behind
And when all life as you know it
-fails
all ghostlike lips taste just the
-same
What better comfort can you find
Than the serpents in my arms
11. os senhores da guerra | the war lords
----------------------------------------------------------- MADREDEUS
La fora estão os senhores da guerra
E cantam já hinos de vitória
Qual é a historia desta terra?
É o medo, ali mesmo
Cá dentro estão os homens á espera
Unidos no destino da terra
Já não há memória de paz na terra
É o medo, ali mesmo
Ó terra, Mais um dia a nascer
Ai, é menos um dia a morrer
É tão pouca a gloria duma guerra
E os homens que as fazem sem
vitorias
Já não há memória, de paz na terra
É o medo, ali mesmo
Outside I hear the war lords
Already they sing hymns of victory
What's the history of this earth?
It's fear, that's it
And here are the men waiting
United in the destiny of the earth
No one remembers a time of peace
It's fear, that's it
O Earth, One more day is rising
And we can't lose it
It's so little the glory of a war
And the Mongers of war making it, without
victories
No one remembers peace anymore
It's fear, that's it
12. mr. crowley
----------------------------------------------------------- OZZY OSBOURNE
Mr. Crowley, what went on in your head
Mr. Crowley, did you talk with the dead
Your life style to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
You waited on Satan's call
Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure
Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport
Uncovering things that were sacred manifest on this Earth
Conceived in the eye of a secret
And they scattered the afterbirth
(solo)
Mr. Crowley, won't you ride my white horse
Mr. Crowley, it's symbolic of course
Approaching a time that is classic
I hear maidens call
Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with their backs to the wall
Was it polemically sent
l wanna know what you meant
I wanna know
I wanna know what you meant

It seems that after the more experimental "Butterfly Effect" Moonspell returns to their usual sound. Not as soft as Sin/Pecado but more in the direction of Irreligious, some soft gothicrock type songs and some faster metal songs. Still it's sometimes a bit too boring for me, but at least it's better than Sin/Pecado. Just a shame that they didn't continue with their industrial influences from the Butterfly Effect.
