Hexenbuch 05:32
In the cold depths of a forest There is a forbidden book of dark spells About monsters and black fairy tales Written with the blood of a girl Guarded by the deep gaze of the trees The secrets that contais are waiting To be summoned by a black witch In the most forgotten ritual The blood turn to words The words turn reality The black fairies came out to this world The monsters brought tu us their dark The secrets are now part of us But now we belong to the book

On a cold night of May Three girls went to a park Two of them knew the end Of this grim tale The Empress The Moon The Tower and Death Were there The girls went that night to the park They said to her "close your eyes And say whatever come to your mind" When the sharp knife kissed her skin The warm blood dyed the grass The cold corpse was found the next day The Empress The Moon The Tower and Death Were there The knife The blood Two witches And Death Were there Thirty-two stabs in the body of her friend They only wanted to know how it feels like to kill Now only remains one ststue and pain That Friday 26, that young girl was murder By two of her friends that claim to be witches Blood and pain remains in the memory of that place

Hexenbann Hexenbann When the night starts to rise All the witches come to us To the beginning of the ritual Hexenbann Hexenbann Hexenbann Hexenbann The wind blows over the trees The stars prowl around the sky The clouds embrace the full moon The leaves caress the cold ground When the night starts to rise All the witches dance around the light of a bonfire The moon shines over the trees The trees are covered by the fog The fog surrounds us in the ritual The witches come to this ritual They are wearing their black robes Carrying their books of spells Getting ready for the sacrifice When the dusk starts to rise The black magic is in the air You can feel it just behind When the night starts to die All the witches sing a word The word is the spell "Hexenbann" The night end with the ritual The ritual ends with the secret word Now the sky is turning to red The spell has taken effect

I remember those rainy and gray days When I was happy and felt good Watching the world with other eyes Enjoying the company of the others Those gray days never return Now I'm suffering Watching the rain falling in the window Missing those good times Feeling empty forever I remember those dark and gray clouds That used to surround my mind In a powerful happiness Now it's time to leave them

Fobia 05:21
When the sun goes to sleep And the light disappears The world starts to cahnge When you are alone in darkness Accompanied by ambient residual light The world seems not the same Every shadown turns to a fear Every sound make your skin crawl The shortage of light deform reality The fear fill the atmosphere Your skill feels the frozen air And your heart loses the beat

The sun falls down towards the horizon The sky goes pink because of the pollen The plants begins to bloom due the rays of the sun The flowers start to grow until they decay into a rotten fruit The majestic head of a deer begins to rot Mushrooms born from the dark eye sockets A white butterfly settle over one broken horn And the undergrowth covers the rest of the lifeless body The moon pokes out surrounded by the early stars And the beauty of the warm days gets murdered by the cold night It seemed that the harsh winter has ended those days It seemed thet the placid summer had come to stay But the warm sun had to leave and the flowers rushed into bloom And the beutiful butterfly froze to death

Regretting 05:45
Tell me what would you do if this was the last time we'd see each other Tell me what would you do if this was the last song you hear Tell me what would you do if this was the last second of your life Tell me what will you do when your bones are weak Tell me what will you do when you can't do anything Tell me now, what are you going to do now that you're in front of me? Tell me now, what are you going to do now that you're in front of the death? Tell me if your life was satisfying Tell me if you did what you want Tell me if you regret of something Tell me how many plans you left undone Tell me how many places you left unvisited Tell me how many times have you put something off Tell me how many hours have you spent doing nothing Tell me why you lived in a lie Tell me why you didn't do anything Tell me why you died in vain Tell me why you've wasted your life

A cold wind comes in the night Shakes the field, steals the light A cold wind comes in the night Shakes the field, steals the light Comes in the night A frozen breeze comes from the dark Killing the heat, during the dusk A chill fog comes to the night Soaking us in the dark A frozen breeze comes from the dark Soaking us in the dark Comes in the dark A cold wind comes in the night Shakes the field, steals the light Comes in the night

Ghost Lady 09:08
On the depths of the woods There is an old castle Surrounded by dead trees Covered by black moss On the top of the tower There is a lonely girl Dressed in black garbs Watching the full moon The damnation was cast over that girl She must be waiting for the eternity Infinite hours between the dark and the rottenness Infinite cries under the shine of the moon The girl is waiting For the arrival of the day She is playing the strings With her tears enlighted by the moon The night is too long The life is too short The flesh rots so fast While the soul remains in that place The moon gets covered By the black clouds The drops dance at the beat Of those lonely notes The lady awaits For something that will never come The castle begins to collapse At the feet of the girl The night begins to decay Under the gaze of the moon She realizes that nobody came This is the most bitter end This doesn't seem like the end And at night all starts again

A Queimada 03:13
Mouchos, coruxas, sapos e bruxas. Demos, trasgos e diaños, Espiritos das nevoadas veigas. Corvos, pintegas e meigas, Feitizos das menciñeiras. Podres cañotas furadas. Fogar dos vermes e alimañas. Lume das santas compañas, Mal de ollo, negros meigallos, Cheiro dos mortos, tronos e raios. Oubeo do can, pregon da morte; Fuciño do satiro e pe de coello Pecadora lingua de mala muller Casada cun home vello. Averno de Satan e Belcebu, Lume dos cadáveres ardentes, Corpos mutilados dos indecentes Peidos dos infernales cus, Muxido da mar enbravecida. Barriga inútil da muller solteira, Falar dos gatos que andan a xaneira, Guedella porca da cabra mal parida. Con este fol levantarei As chamas deste lume Que asemella ao do inferno, E fuxiran as bruxas A cabalo das suas escobas, Indose bañar na praia Das areas gordas Oide, oide! Os ruxidos Que dan as que non poden Deixar de queimarse no agoardente Quedando asi purificadas. E cando esta brebaxe Baixe polas nosas gorxas, Quedaremos libres dos males Da nosa alma e de todo embruxamento Forzas do ar, terra, mar e lume A vos fago esta chamada: Si é verdade que tedes máis poder Que a humana xente Eiqui e agora, facede que os espíritos Dos amigos que estan fora, Participen con nos desta Queimada.

about

As night approaches the dark surrounds us, daylight is being eaten by the horizon, the sun loses the battle against the moon, the cold air involves the remains of a warm atmosphere, the stars begins to illuminate the dying sky and the day ends with a frozen defeat agains the night.
This album brings magic rituals, narrations about nature scenes, stories about the darkest part of the humanity and questions about the life, all this accompained by a dark and dissonant atmosphere in some songs but brighting and encouraging at other parts. This is the message of this album, as the light and heat dwells during the day but when the dusk starts they begins to decay in cold and darkness.
