1. A Dying Dream

[Music by: Macbeth]


2. Sweet Endless Sleep

[Lyrics by: Vittorio Manara / Music by: Macbeth]

Like a spell from which i 
can't awake now i sleep 
soundly, 
dying in your arms, i felt 
your tears glide on my face 
and your hands hold mine 
for the last time, 
the angel of mystery is 
here to lead me in the king- 
dom of silence. 
We are immersed in a 
boundless sea of sorrow 
death is the darkened hori- 
zon we'll reach in our 
wreck, 
sweet is my rest like a kiss 
of the woman i loved 
and now her heart is veiled 
with a cloud of sadness. 
You'll close my weary 
eyes languishing and resi- 
gned and petals of withered 
roses will settle on my 
weak body as tears 
i'll rove forever on the 
banks of the oblivion's river 
bur i'll hear your mounded 
heart cry for me. 
"..and my tears will furrow my 
cheeks and will rush in the 
endless ebony abyss of 
torment." 


3. Shadows Of Eden

[Lyrics by: Vittorio Manara / Music by: Macbeth]

Shadows are walking in 
the darkness of a promised 
heaven 
like spirits in a dark and 
lonely castle, 
they are dancing at a song 
of a myriad of voices 
with the stares lost in a 
secret dimension. 
Shadows are crying in the 
immensity of a gloomy 
night, 
holding in their own all 
their consuming sorrow 
They seem forgotten in the 
heavenly garden, 
forsaken in the misery of a 
place without time. 
"Abd shines the light of hope 
in their eyes no more and no 
emotion will pass through 
their heart" 
Shadows imprisoned 
between dream and reality 
in silently wait for a 
solemn recall, 
they look for consolation in 
the pale light of god, 
in a kingdom in which all 
is eternal. 


4. Eternity Silence

[Music by: Macbeth]


5. Nocturnal Embrace

[Lyrics by: Vittorio Manara / Music by: Macbeth]

Light is disappearing, dark 
is closing in upon me, 
In front of my eyes a 
new sunset, 
another day is dying 
between my arms 
and the night rises 
caressing my face. 
A nocturnal embrace holds 
me to itself 
like two lovers, escaping 
from glances 
Lost in the darkness, 
surrounded by silence, 
through the oceans of time, 
we'll fly away. 
And the stars in the sky 
will look us 
while the wind will blow 
among the last leaves, 
my soul will dance lighted 
by a pale moon and an 
overture will accompany 
my steps.
