Silentium SI.VM E.T A.V.VM 1. Apart "It's like throwing oil into my flaming soul, waking up at nights, alone, with memories of you..." Don't leave me here Don't leave me now, While I'm breaking down Don't push me away Don't turn away like there's nothing to say I am burning I know it hurt's too much I am yearning I 'm longing for your touch Don't look away My life would be done, If you'd be gone Just let me stay Just let me hold you here, It's so cold and I fear... I 'm still burning I hurt you so much I 'm still yearning I 'm still longing for your touch Tear after tear Tear me apart Tear after tear Ripped me apart 2. Grieving Beauty (Remake) In a deep blue sea of her dwelling grief She's breathing the pain that flows in her eyes Like the deepest fear that you've always felt but never shown And as you cover me with the wings of sorrow I shiver from cold My pain, my sorrow, it walks with me, it lives through me Like the darkest moment of an autumn night that lives in me "...Oh how beautiful she is Dresses in the darkness of her heart..." 3. I Bleed For... "... Alas, do not fear the wounds in my flesh, but embrace me, for in my heart is the wound that doeth the bleeding..." Contemptio in nomen tuum Incendere in infernus Dance for me your last Before I wither and die Your shivering lips to me It's for you I bleed Cover me with beauty As I carry my chains I'm drowning in your cruelty But lust rips my veins Symphonia carnalis (bella et permunt hostilia) In tenebrae aeternum (pulcher sicut tua) Kiss away my tears And I'll suffocate you Awoke my fears It's for you I bleed... Hold this beast in thine arms - For christ Don't fear my wounds and scars - I shall suffer If wounded by a thousand swords - For you It's still you I bleed for - I shall bleed 4. Lament (Remake) Alone and dressed by night cold winds were filled with fright And I, the woeful wonderer, with sin upon my shoulders Would you show me how to feel, how to hurt and how to bleed Like the rose thorns through my heart, every moment rips me apart I would give my everything, if I could fly, if I had wings And when I end my mortal days, you'll be flying above my grave My mortal child of night, you'll be gone by first dawn light As I saw you in my dreams, my angel with broken wings Let me rest upon your arms, safe from world and safe from harms Like the blaze of thousand sunsets, that sears upon your soul My darling before you came, my days were dark and filled with pain But there's time for every flame, to burn out in the dark... One day my fallen one, you'll spread your wings and learn to fly My tears lament you're gone, you'll combrace the open sky Line-Up Matti Aikio - Bass & Vocals Tiina Lehvonen - Vocals Sami Boman - Keyboards Jani Laaksonen - Violin Toni Lahtinen - Guitar Juha Lehtioksa - Guitar Janne Ojala - Drums Recorded at Studio Watercastle in July-September 2000 by Arttu Sarvanne Mixed at Finnvox in June 2001 by Mikko Karmila Mastered at Finnvox in June 2001 by Mika Jussila Artwork by Janne-Matti Nurminen Reviews A new mini-cd filled with emotion the way only Silentium can: Beautiful and built with vision.
