PENUMBRA LYRICS

1. New Era

[Instrumental]

2. Insane?

I wonder if I’m insane
Is their life a kind of comedy?
Habits are for me worse than hell
I like to succumb to a spell

No dream in sight
No fear
Just a way to follow
No dream in sight
No fear
Only lies to... Only lies to swallow

Touch your passion
Forget the reason
Caress your vices
And make them a fairy goal
The conflicts which build both soul and heart
Please hear them
Before ending in oblivion

This is all you... This is all you get
Lies are only... Lies are all you let
All the wishes you made are born to fail
Shame to undergo
Just a way to... A way to follow

Life is for them conceptual
with guidelines to share between them all

Why don’t you see in life shelter
Give an aim and go to another side?

Am I insane?
Do I live in a cell?

You know that your way has already been designed?

Am I insane if I see in the life a tragical play?
Am I insane if I accept all my dualities?
Am I insane if I refuse to pray in vain?
And to take nothing at face value?

3. Charon

On this river of silence
Fed by these sorrows
Comes with innocence
A lust for the crows
She smiles like an angel
Despite of her travel
They will catch your dream
Will be fed with your scream

(Oh...)

She smiles like an angel
Despite of her travel
???? betrayal

And on this river of silence I’m traveling to the dark
(I’m traveling through the dark and I)
See a face in the distance that waits for me to come (that waits for me to come)
And everything around is so deep and strong
In the end when all seems to drown in the sand

Every fortress has got its defender
Each journey has got its watcher
My name is Charon
I’m an illusion
They will catch your dream
Will be fed with your scream

And on this river of silence I’m traveling to the dark
(I’m traveling through the dark and I)
See a face in the distance that waits for me to come (that waits for me to come)
And everything around is so deep and strong
In the end when all seems to drown in the sand!

(Oh...)

All her words sound like a whisper
Anywhere she looks for her lover
How to go through death on its own
And rejoin the darkness all alone?

Then I think about myself
Ashes are falling down on me
And comes what they call emotion
I see she feels pity of me

And on this river of silence I’m traveling to the dark
(I’m traveling through the dark and I)
See a face in the distance that waits for me to come (that waits for me to come)
And everything around is so deep and strong
In the end when all seems to drown in the sand!

4. Save My World

You make the word love your enemy to play in this comedy
Betraying things I believed in
Your uttered words were a sin
Your love shaped the grim reaper
I felt the pain just after
I didn’t breathe anymore and threw my pride on the floor

What was your reason to tramp our passion?
Did you know it was a poison for me?
Hurting me furthermore, leaving me on the floor

What? Now! What never comes around comes at last
Don’t try to fill that empty space
As we should have seem it for a while

What? Now! What never comes around comes at last
Don’t try to fight that empty space
As we do go so far, now, go arise!

Betrayal?
I say to myself my love has gone
Life is sometimes hard to describe
As we only survive thanks to a vision

I never succumbed to madness
Even if I felt its dark embrace
Pain can have so many faces
Only one turned my heart into ashes

Would you die for a god you’ll never be?
A model of perfection, you see?
And every smile on your face will be a bitter mission
Change yourself as you won’t change your side
Anytime you’ve gotta feel that pride
Don’t try to fight that empty space
As we do go so far, now, go arise!

Somehow, someday, a still unknown smile will carry me
Rousing me from my lethargy to forget all what I’ve done
I live for this day and I will deny who I ever pretend to be
(Nonexistence, so much distance)
In the underground of my soul that I even dare to know
Where should I have gone?
(For the one you will gave your body and soul)
And I, and I, I will float and rise
(For the one you will gave your body and soul)
From the ground and I’m still waiting for a sign

Betrayal?
I say to myself my love has gone
Life is sometimes hard to describe
As we only survive thanks to a vision

I died, died, died, I died for love
I gave, gave, gave my soul and hope
I died, died, died, I died for love
I gave, gave, gave my soul and hope

???? my frozen heart
???? love at first sight
I know my pride ????
???? my skin

5. Exhumed

I had failed in love
And my heart was so cold
Did it beat before?
As I had to run to the other side
Then a smile has come to me
He was also hurt by life and disgrace

Words that came in my mind were
“You belong to me”
Suddenly I realize
What “at first sight” would mean

I would blame my life
He should have come before
I give all my days and nights...
To another one
To another one...

And I thought for the first time
That there was a way
I didn’t know
Now I see, I’m the immoral one
Don’t care about this at all
‘Cause I need to answer to submission

And I really feel my grave has gone
Sure, I’ll never get down

6. Insidious

I forget to see the sun
I forget when it does come
I lost the joy that makes me dense
I don’t know when it has begun

I forget to see the sun
I forget when it does come
I lost the joy that makes me dense
I don’t know when it has begun

When the fears arrive
Engulf your head, write in it as a scribe
Your mind has resigned
Emotions are running away
Supplanted by the dark

What happens after having accepted this unease?
Conjuring your opinions to make a way for the devil
Did you feel so disarmed?
Now who controls your arm?
You were so dissected that
You became blind to this new nightmare

Lose yourself into my inquisitive eyes
They will reveal you a glorious past
You were like nothing, a piece of dirt before
Considering the world as a pretty whore

I, I want to transcend
Why defeat the purpose that they put in my brain?
Now I am not alone
This creed is now my passion
It’s too late – I am gone
You have not to blaspheme
They have taught me to wear a good looking face
But growing in the dark
Lives something diabolical
Ready to break your fate

I remember the man you were, so far away from now
You could have bewitched even an angel
So far away from now
Where are you now?

In ecstasy

What happens after?
Do you enjoy what your mission is?
Do you see your mind is toxic like a cancer?

Don’t try, don’t try to understand

I want to transcend
Why defeat the purpose that they put in my brain?
Now I am not alone
This creed is now my passion
It’s too late – I am gone
You have not to blaspheme
They have taught me to wear a good looking face
But growing in the dark
Lives something diabolical
Ready to break your fate

7. Eerie Shelter

I’m haunted by something I’m not really able to define
Within the light, a call, it’s so divine
And his eyes in front of me are like ????
And my soul just fights to know

Take care of the lives you take
They give a sense to your existence
I feel your anger, your betrayal
Don’t close your eyes in this way
Get away and run away, power is a prison
Like cyanide through your veins
It burns you forever... (forever and ever)

I want to know if the end is near
Though I will feel myself with their hidden fears
And do the only souls I can breed
Show me the key of what I am vowed to be

Who will know what I have to see?
What you really want from me?
Within the light a void is inviting me now
Who else can hear my call?

They will try to have you fall
Like no one else they all envy you
They want to leave your burnt soul
In this garden of vices
Get away and run away
Go straight never come back
You’re entirely in their hands
It burns you forever... (forever and ever)

I want to know if the end is near
Though I will feel myself with their hidden fears
And do the only souls I can breed
Show me the key of what I am vowed to be

This is what they want
So pure so bright
Here is such a frost, so sad
They talk about you

In immortal soul
You’ll seek safety
Keep your human life
Maybe it will save you

The keeper told you’re immortal
Why do you think I give you this choice?
Far away from your deepest desires
Trying to light off the candle and wish me to die

Do you feel the tears on your lips?
It’s your heart that you condemned
Far away from your deepest desires
Ride alone into the night... into the night...

Far away from all these shores
A thousand candles on the floor
Crimson silk and velvet tense
The candle’s keeper awaits me there
All these lights for all these lives
They took my fate, erase my past
Who is this strange, I cannot I see
Behind the veil of tragedy?

8. Before Oblivion

[Sample:]
If this evil force can be stopped and destroyed
Before actual nuclear war begins
Then the universe will be saved

Come to this appalling assumption
It tends to fall in oblivion
But why should it be so absurd?
Think about your last words

No words, no time for any regrets
Nothing for what I have not done yet
I'll face a rain of mixed pictures
Which ones of them are my treasures?
Time will be for the essence
Life can be a maze but I have thought of you all days

In every sound, I can hear your whisper
Anywhere I see my lover
How to go through life on its own
Rejoin the darkness all alone?

You have a broken heart
But things can turn around
There is nothing left at all
Nobody anywhere
I learn death on my own
Now I fave the rule of existence

When the world will go out
I'll take with me your precious name
And clouds will draw your beautiful and smiling face
I'll kiss death with a heated heart
In the reign of the flames
I'll take with me your lovely name
I know without any doubt that you'll do the same
I will die with serenity

Hey come on death, take me away
I bring with me my jewel
Come on death, take me away
The life was also cruel

Please, tell me that in your world of chaos
I'll remember her face
I'll offer you my servility
You could grind my soul

Shall I say that you already know?
I'd be ready to be sacrificed
You know you are the only one
Who owned my mind and my heart

I really take pity on those who missed passion
Just for a wretched and pathetic redemption

Winds will caress my hair
While fire will kiss my skin
My glance toward the west
I will look at an inexistent sun
And I would probably yell

When the world will go out
I'll take with me your precious name
And clouds will draw your beautiful and smiling face
I'll kiss death with a heated heart
In the reign of the flames
I'll take with me your lovely name
I know without any doubt that you'll do the same
I will die with serenity

Hey come on death, take me away
I bring with me my jewel
Come on death, take me away
The life was also cruel

9. Avalon

You were my succubus
The one who made me believe, believe in “us”
We found the way to Avalon
That so many people dream on

Hidden away from all mortals sights
There is a place where fantasy lies
A haven for all lost on the sea
A place where I wanted to be

(You may laugh)
You may cry (at me)
You may die
(From your throne) forever more
(So far from me) away from Avalon
(You are not the one who possess me)
(And I only have one word to say)
(I’m not your slave!)

You were my, my lady
You betrayed me, you chose for me
Taking with you, your secrets
Leaving me with regrets

Hidden away from all mortals sights
There is a place where fantasy lies

(You may laugh)
You may cry (at me)
You may die
(From your throne) forever more
(So far from me) away from Avalon
(You are not the one who possess me)
(And I only have one word to say)
(I’m not your slave!)

I leave this black rose on the ground
You and me know it was our bound
Stamping on it firmly
Hating it for eternity

Hidden away from all mortal sights
There is a place where fantasy lies
A haven for all lost on the sea
A place where I wanted to be

10. Malice In Wonderland

(So frail, illusive and ephemeral)
(Your so called richness is superficial)
So frail, illusive and ephemeral
(So frail, illusive and)

I tasted your fucking magnificence
But love with you was a non-sense
Nothing can really hurt or touch you
Your heart is the one of a statue

I believed you could open your mind
How could I be so blind?
(How could I be so blind?)
You’re only interested in your life
Your selfishness is like a knife

(Malice in Wonderland)
(Malice in Wonderland)
(Your world is only built with sand)
(Only built with sand)

So frail, illusive and ephemeral
Your so called richness is superficial
(Superficial)

I don’t know really why
I never watched the sky
I prefer to be this woman
This one who delights in an illusive world
I will go out of my mind
I’ll never see the stars...
Why shall we give a sense to our life?
We will all meet one day on the other side

Did you lie to me? Did you lie to yourself?
How could I be so blind?
You told me that you gave me your heart
To manipulate was your own art

But one day, your world will collapse
Realizing many years have elapsed
The darkness of your heart will spread
And death wishes will burn your head

(Malice in Wonderland)
(Malice in Wonderland)
(Your world is only built with sand)
(Only built with sand)

So frail, illusive and ephemeral
Your so called richness is superficial
(Superficial)

I don’t know really why
I never watched the sky
I prefer to be this woman
This one who delights in an elusive world
I will go out of my mind
I’ll never see the stars
Why shall we give a sense to our life?
We will all meet one day on the other side
