Heterochromia
07:34
|
|
||
Sensual, at first sight, an hourglass wet by light
Bringer of sighs and tears, the ecstasy through the tip of the spear.
My eyes, torn away, landscapes always drained
Lust gets my heart dried, delivering the utter pleasure.
Sacrifices in Pluto’s name, no one will remember your name
Bodies hanged on an old oak, the bird will sing no more.
Daylight falls for you, a throne will burn for you
My life was given to you, for your crowning in the new moon.
My dove with white wings, my death your vehicle for dreams,
My love, for lust, my mirror from the past.
The daylight falling, the daylight would call me
Erotic utopia, heterochromia.
Hey, your name is decay, so open your eyes and see my pain
Night, I broke through your night, I’ve seen through nightmares
The true meaning of life!
Sensual, at first sight, a goddess enthroned in light
Bearer of sighs and tears, devourer of dreams and fears
Through the ages, we're only pages.

Ouija and the Qvantvm
08:12
|
|
||
The fire, the plough, the wheel, the sword, the pen, the fission, the atom
And we’ll be kings of the sky, we’ll be kings of the sky, our kingdom will come!
Death beyond death, is life beyond life
Silence, only silence and death, into the womb of the world.
Children in an empty room, starting the invocation of a power unknown,
teasing the knowledge obscure.
They summon the dead ones, they talk with dead ones
They caress their hands, they summon the dead ones.
We see you. Who are we? Taste our wisdom
You’ve seen fragments of our grammar in the weird geometry of creation.
Unable to relief the burden of a secular existence
Original sin corrupted in blood, adulterated soul
Eternal stain of death, long for immortality
Death beyond death, life beyond life.

A Parody of Medea
08:29
|
|
||
I dressed you as my bride, I kissed the last goodbye to your lips
But I won’t forgive your crime, as you did with mine, my fool, Medea.
And so you’ve slayed your children
You filled your chalice with their blood
You fool! Your heart fell in disgrace, my soul screaming, revenge!
You forgot the name of the gods, your wickness revealed
Your heart turned to stone, your time comes to an end
Your heart turned to stone, how could you? I’ll eat your soul.
Medea, the crow is singing the lullaby of Charon
I’ll seek you over the sea, across the lands
Even stones will scream your name, to guide me to you
Before all the gods will prepare your trial, I’ll be stained with your blood
This is the end of the poem, the end of everything
In the moment of your last sigh, in the moment of your last sigh
You’ll enjoy death, you’ll enjoy death.
Are we really throwing everything in the river of forgetfulness?
Would you? Would I?
Yes, we do become shadows together, you and I.

Do the memories kill you young man?
Do they take you to oblivion?
Do you really breathe what I breathe?
Feel what I feel?
Take my fruit, become me, taste oblivion, become me.
Lose yourself, into dreams
Lose yourself, into an anonymous god.

The Moon Made Flesh
07:39
|
|
||
I see your moon rise, you’re the queen I’ve waited so long
Your vessel high, your son in golden cloth
All your lovers cry, for you forsake them all
You’re the moon made flesh, from dawn of ages, to their nightfall
Shine!
A great banquet was made in your name, an orgy of greek red wine
The ritual of your pale skin, constantly wet by the moonlight.
And I, bow to your beauty, die for you, my queen!
And I, die for you, magnificence, my majesty, my queen!
Before the eternal sleep will come, you’ll live forever in glory.

The White Virgin
04:06
|
|
||
Vestal, my little vestal, the silent one, the taken one, unaware eyes
All dressed in white, the sun shown in the night, but tied to a tree, where you won’t flee
Vestal, my sudden vestal, 3.00 am, the body stretched
The shiver complete, the frost, but the heat, after the burning, the sleep.
Then the awakening, the knowledge, freedom.
You are the altar, I’m the priest, I’m the bride, you’re the white virgin.

Oh Vesta, let me dream of you, desire you, glorify you
I pray for your blessing, I am sacred and profane, my love stands.
A sacred celebration to take her back from the temple, where she lived
I crawl on your pyre, I come on your pyre, inebriate senses, a dying living.
I summon to call her back, I summon the divine amplex
I am pontifex maximus
I will rebuild your temple, upon their wretched bodies
For you are tongue, my sword, my fire
My god, my pleasure, my curse.
Reminiscences from my past, I looked back in the mirror to see what we really are.
I am fire.
She kept the sacred fire.
Rome is you, you are Rome!
She kept the sacred fire, still…

Walk with me in moonlit shores, my love, my son, my child born from the sun.
Your hand, in mine, so they will stop the wheel of time
Never will we be alone.
Stay with me for a while, before the sunset comes
The presence said to me: can we share that light?
We’ll be forever, so stay, my little angel stay.
You know I was a man without shadow, a bearer of pain,
I was the tear running down Christ’s cheek
A thorn into God’s eye but, I found your light,
I found your light, my life.

Plateau Sigma Taggia, Italy
Plateau Sigma is a musical project born in the 'autumn of 2010, driven by one simple ambition: to unite the verb of primordial death and doom metal to the rarefied and sensual atmospheres of new wave of dark rock.
