(Based on a poem by Junqueira Freire) A gentle thought of eternal peace, Dear death, come. You are the end Of two ghosts that existence forms, Of this vain soul and this suffering body. Dear death. You are nothingness, The absence of life's motions, Of the pleasure that past pain demands. Gentle thought of eternal peace, Dear death, come - You are only the most real vision Of those around us, Who extinguishes our earthly visions. I have always loved you - and I want to belong to you all eternity too, my beloved death. I want the ground, I want the earth - that element; That doesn't feel the twists and turns of fate. And then nothing more. There is no more time, No life, no pain, no taste. Now nothingness "E depois nada mais. Já não há tempo, Nem vida, nem sentir, nem dor, nem gosto. Agora o nada, — esse real tão belo Só nas terrenas vísceras deposto."

Lyrics: Beneath the moon's melancholy glow A mother's absence, a void to know In the tapestry of stars, her essence weaves Through the forest of memories, where sorrow grieves A lullaby of loss in the howling winds Echoes of her laughter, where silence begins In the blackened skies, a void profound Yet her love, eternal, still surrounds Amidst the echoes of a distant lament A flying spirit, in shadows, is sent Through the symphony of grief A haunting song, in the embrace of night As the stars paint tales of her legacy The cold winds carry her whispered elegy In this black metal hymn, her memory strong A tribute eternal, in the night so long

Lyrics: Within the mist of clouds My spirit descends A metamorphosis as twilight suspends Echoes of void whisper my name In the abyssal depths Where shadows claim In the obsidian night A spectral waltz My essence enshrouded A haunting exalt In the moonlight trance A transformation unfolds, in shadows' advance Within the cosmic void Reflections distort A journey through the darkness My soul's consort In the spectral realms where shadows weave My essence reborn! Amidst the shadows' grasp, a macabre ballet My being eclipsed, in the dusk's array A requiem for light, as shadows ascend In the realm of darkness, my soul transcends Within the cosmic void Reflections distort A journey through the darkness My soul's consort In the spectral realms Where shadows weave My essence reborn In the blackened eve My essence reborn!

Big Long Now 04:55
Lyrics: It's not cold enough Please put this side up She is moving through Can we show our faces now? I'm not interesting She's not turning green Shameful as it seems Can we show our faces now? Endless climb I am blind Why can't I hear? Color blind Speaking a phrase Instantly grown I am blind Waiting in line It's not cold enough Please put this side up She is moving through Can we show our faces now? I'm not interesting She's not turning green Shameful as it seems Can we show our faces now? Endless climb I am blind Why can't I hear? Color blind Speak a phrase Instantly grown I am blind Why am I sure?

Lyrics: It was not Death, for I stood up, and all the dead lie down Who am I? Who am I trying to be? Not myself, no one but myself. But I can't be myself Want to be someone I've never been Living in a fantasy to bury reality Making myself the mystery A strong facade disguising the misery "Like others, I did not see As others have seen, I could not bring My passions from a common spring From the same fountain I did not take My sorrow - I could not awaken My heart rejoices in the same shade And all that I love, I love alone." My flesh stiffens My eyes open numb I can't get up As if my life is scrapped away, Rooted in a bed of thorns The birds no longer sing And wrapped in a frame, And I can't breathe Without a key, And everything that moved has frozen "She dwells with Beauty - Beauty that must die; And Joy, whose hand is ever at his lips Turning to poison while the bee-mouth sips: In the very temple of Delight Melancholy has its sacred shrine, when she stimulates herself by feeling the bitter taste of the veil Her soul should taste the sadness of her strength And be among his clouded trophies hanging."
