NIGHTLAND LYRICS

1. Benediction To Madness

[Instrumental]

[Music, arrangements: Cioffi]

2. Dreamless Life

[Music, lyrics, arrangements: Cioffi]

Crushed by the weight of time
The fragile hope lives on
In an emptiness to be filled
In an answer to be found
But winter never ends
Where sun rays can’t get through
Light cannot reach the heart
That can’t fight on

Dust in the eyes of a faithless mind
That fills with emptiness its dreamless life

I can’t remember the warmth of a memory
The sweet and fleeting sensation of an instant
That enlightened my days

I know the shudder of pain
The deep wound that you left
When I lost your affection
So needed, so cruel

Dust in the eyes of a faithless mind
That fills with emptiness its dreamless life

3. A.R.E.S.

[Adnihilo Rationem, Ergo Sum]

[Music, lyrics, arrangements: Cioffi]

There is no God above my will
Since will generates power
As the reason induces folly

There is no king ruling this world
There is no man ruling his mind
‘cause it belongs to me

Ancient son of dark, titan of my madness
Mighty silent presence, lead my lonely spirit into war

Creatures nourished by illusions
You kill for the earth, ignoring the heavens
You think you’re sun in the cosmic darkness
But darkness is destiny of every light

Ancient son of dark, titan of my madness
Mighty silent presence, lead my lonely spirit into war

You’re not allowed to control the world
if you cannot control yourself

My power threatens at the epilogue of evolution
‘cause every war that will be won
will be a part of sanity lost

There is no king ruling this world
There is no man ruling his mind
‘cause it belongs to me

Ancient son of dark, titan of my madness
Mighty silent presence, lead my lonely spirit into war

4. Icarus

[Music, lyrics, arrangements: Cioffi]

Fly, man of flesh and blood,
Fly on the winds of reason
Until the fall of your courage
Until a new journey begins

Leave your prison flying higher
Don’t look down to this failing world
Take a new breath as a free man
In your new world, Icarus!

Find a new sunrise over the horizon
Don’t let the sun go down
Do not let the sun go down!

Leave your prison flying higher
Don’t look down to this failing world
Take a new breath as a free man
In your new world, Icarus!

Fly, man of dreams and desire,
Fly on the winds of folly
Down to the depths of your soul
To restrain the whole universe

Leave your prison flying higher
Don’t look down to this failing world
Take a new breath as a free man
In your new world, Icarus!

5. Alpha Et Omega

[Music, lyrics, arrangements: Cioffi]

I bend my will to your immense power,
Divine and eternal abstraction
I annihilate my reason to your law,
Thou are all-powerful and almighty

I free myself from the chains of my egoism
To submit myself forever
To the freedom of your realm,
Thou are the truth above all reason

Sum Alpha, sum Omega

Feed our hopes with the cruel illusion
Of an eternal life for the worthy souls,
Your word is absolute truth
'Cause when we are blind, you are the eyes

Sum Alpha, sum Omega

Bound in resignation to an unknown sorrow
Wait to understand the meaning of such pain
You cannot understand the root of your evil
'Cause you have proclaimed it as your savior

Bound in faith for a sacred morality
You follow a path bordered by dogma,
While uttering tolerance and freedom
You grant devotion and slavery

Bend your will to my immense power
Fragile and mortal preachers
Annihilate your reason to my law
'Cause I’m all-powerful and almighty

Sum Alpha, sum Omega
Es Alpha, es Omega

6. Cradle Of Sufferance

[Music, lyrics, arrangements: Cioffi]

Yearning for new life
So gentle and feeble
You’re innate will of procreation
A cruel conviction to pain
You will never see the light

Death impending before that life starts
As a nightmare coming before you close your eyes
No redemption for the cold soul of a sinner
When the sinner is mother of an impure desire

Night falls hiding the smile of a red moon
That has seen this unholy madness
Filling with emptiness her cradle of sufferance

Evil can be only the son of evil
What’s born from a corrupted will
Deserve not merciful hate
But the cruel illusion of love

Nightmare coming before you close your eyes
No redemption for the cold soul of a sinner
When the sinner is mother of an impure desire

Night falls hiding the smile of a red moon
That has seen this unholy madness
Filling with emptiness her cradle of sufferance
Night falls hiding the smile of a red moon
That has seen this unholy madness
Filling with emptiness her cradle of sufferance

Death impending before that life starts
As a nightmare coming before you close your eyes
No redemption for the cold soul of a sinner
When the sinner is mother of an impure desire

Night falls hiding the smile of a red moon
That has seen this unholy madness
Filling with emptiness her cradle of sufferance

7. Obsession

[Music: Scrima; lyrics, arrangements: Cioffi]

It’s not honor that guides a man to war
Not fear to make him blind
Not love to bind his heart
Not faith to make it blind

Like a cancer my perversion grows
In the shadows

Obscure temptation, eternal illusion
Grow, my obsession, deprive all reason from me

It’s not night that obscures daylight
Not death that takes away life

My most sweet dreams you have transformed them into pain

Obscure temptation, eternal illusion
Grow, my obsession, deprive all reason from me

8. Quod Vita Celat, Mors Revelat

[Music, lyrics, arrangements: Cioffi]

Search, man, search within your feelings
But don’t look for what you cannot find
What was life, now is death
What was everything, now is nothing

You're following a shadow, a fleeting thought,
A choice that you cannot make anymore

Don't hold on to a dream believing to fly
'Cause falling is the only way you can cross the sky

Search, man, search in your past
You will harvest what you have sown
The mistakes you weren't able to avoid
Are a stain that you cannot remove

Damnatus sit tuus cor in tenebris
Malum te dominat

Search, man, search deep down
To unearth the dreary abyss that deserve
The soiled essence of your ego
To preserve the world from it's atrocity

You're following a shadow, a fleeting thought,
A choice that you cannot make anymore

Don't hold on to a dream believing to fly
'Cause falling is the only way you can cross the sky

Damnatus sit tuus cor in tenebris
Malum te dominat
Damnatus sit tuus cor in tenebris
Malum te dominat
Quod vita celat, mors revelat

9. Last Dance Of A Treacherous Mind

[Music, lyrics, arrangements: Cioffi]

Let’s begin this last dance all around this madness
I’m a bringer of death, sufferance and pain
Due to awake the fallen ones
Calling their forces to end this time of emptiness

Rise alone at the end of the world
When the evil has come
And your mighty forces reborn
Rise again on the wasted land
When the thunder will cry
In this last dance of a treacherous mind

A candle in the night, the evil in your mind
Eating from inside and darkening your light
Will fade to shadows and fall by my hand
Becoming dust forever and ever

Rise again on the wasted land
When the thunder will cry
In this last dance of a treacherous mind

Let’s begin this last dance all around this madness
I’m a bringer of life, power and domain
Due to awake the fallen ones
And leading their spirits to end this time of emptiness

Rise alone at the end of the world
When the evil has come
And your mighty forces reborn
Rise again on the wasted land
When the thunder will cry
In this last dance of a treacherous mind

10. Dreamless Life (Orchestral)

[Instrumental]

[Music, arrangements: Cioffi]
