I need some help, can anybody give me a hand?
It’s my first time here and I’m about to go crazy
You, my lonely friend, listen, this is my story
Give me one of your beers and I’ll tell it to you
Far away, born with blame, bastard child
Mother cries, I left them behind, and here I am
Drag them to
where shattered skies
claw your veins
and drown your mind
Bring them to my lair
my filthy slave.
Dance for me
and play my game!
Hi, I’m Gabrielle, can anybody give me a hand?
Why’s everyone in this hole staring at me like I’m mad?
I almost forgot some small details
It was a stormy night, it was a shitty boat…
and all that trouble just for some empty nightclubs;
ten coins and a bottle of wine is the only thing I came back with!
Drag them to
where shattered skies
claw your veins
and drown your mind
Bring them to my lair
my filthy slave.
Dance for me
and play my game!
I claim your whispers and bones with my tongue,
through the pregnant carcass.
By my hand you will suffer!
I drain your waters and screams with my maw,
black teeth marching for you
to grant you a deathly wish!
I am Gabrielle, nice to meet you
Now I’m off to discover other lands…

Look at how they bleed (My feet hurt)
Your joy is my disease (Please leave me)
You will be my slave (No, stop it!)
For all eternity (You’re crazy!)
Shut the fuck up, shepherd of stones
You are my toy, my flesh and bones.
Listen to me boy (What is it?)
Uncork your veins for me (No, please no)
So I can have a drink (I’m dizzy)
I want to taste your wine (You sicko!)
Listen to me, shepherd of stones
You will end up sad and alone.
Can you feel my tongue? (Where is it?)
Right under your skin (Why would you?)
To reach your abode (In your dreams)
Through the river let me go (No, stop it!)
All my life stuck like glue
Born from hate, alone with you
Shepherd of stones, your youth is lost
Walk again, walk again
In your mind I hide with your skull as walls
Your liver will cry as I eat your soul
Like a parasite in your cock I dwell
Through your eyes I mourn.
I’ll take you to hell!
Like a branch I fell in a nest of moss and stone
Inside a brother to cry under my obsession
With your eyes I can see the sky is turning blue
My skin will fly away, I am not my possession
Run away, run away, run away…
Run away, run away, run away…
Run away, run away, run for your…
Run away, run away, run for your life!

Crawl! Keep running…
Fear me! I’m coming for you!
Doll! You will be my slave…
You will be my next victim!
Stone needles lead the way
along veins of aquamarine.
To the heart of the iron foothills
where the crowned owls screech.
Seas of sun and grass turn into
cold shards of ice.
Crawl through the labyrinth!
Hear me hiding in the trees!
Doll! You will be my slave…
You will be my next victim!
Gold are my scales
Drowned are my whispers
Vast is the cave of my mind
I foretold this day would come
In the valley of cold you will eternally lay
A well deserved hell of death and decay
Remember the candle near the window,
the warmth of the blankets, the beautiful voice of the rain..
A new day is coming, I must close my eyes,
embrace my own darkness and grow with it.
Crawl! Fear me!
Crawl! Fear me!
DIE!

Wake up poor soul
Pull yourself up, don’t stay behind
Destroy the silver crust
Sharpen your skin, harden your mind
Surrounded by stalagmites
Crawling across the wastelands
Leaving blisters and gashes
The wind cracks open your flesh
As thirty-two white horses
Dance on a freezing cold hill
Wake up poor soul
Pull yourself up, don’t stay behind
Destroy the silver crust
Sharpen your skin, harden your mind
Frost and stone!
Bones and blood!
Woods and mist!
Dreams and doom!
Life is a sad joke when you can breathe

The path of light opens before my eyes.
A sea of sorrow embraces my body.
Where my feet land I feel his bones,
with sigils of sun and ashes of man.
The hymn of fire warms my heart
and wails of darkness rest upon my hands.
My branches leak with black oil
I sing for my lost faith
The cold invades my veins.
I can’t breathe anymore
I barely feel the pain…
Just an ember in my home
Show me how to stand up
I’ll cleanse from my shivers and get my coat again.
Take back what’s mine and enjoy it ‘till the end.
All I’ve done is just in vain; misery, hunger, ills my brain.
Should I just end all this nonsense, grab a knife, and cut my veins?
A wail of darkness on my hand, suffering grief is all I have
A path of light before my eyes, clean my soul and shape my life!
My branches leak with black oil
I sing for my lost faith
The cold invades my veins.
I can’t breathe anymore
I barely feel the pain…
Just an ember in my home
Show me how to stand up
You’ll never bring me down! From my ashes I am reborn.
Like a gorse I will bloom towards the almighty sun.
Towards the almighty sun
Path of light… In ruins!

Burning House

Soft is the voice in the echoes of my memory
A long time ago I saw those birds fly away
With the sky closed I try to breathe…
A wind never called, screams with the ashes of my past
With the sky closed I try to breathe
Rosemary, a perfume of my childhood
The smell of stew waiting in the pot
I remember how I used to play with my friend
His fur was fluffy and his snout moist like morning dew
With the sky closed I try to breathe
Dear fireplace, why did you burn like that? You took my life…
Now I’m here to see the ruins I left behind as a child
Burning house, sacred home
Now you’re cursed and alone
Burning house, walls of stone
Charcoal glass, broken bones
Burden of debt
Insurance money
House is burning
Mom? Dad? Where are you going!?
Where are you? Why’s my dog dead?
Where are you? Where have you hidden?
Blazing fire! Put it out now!
Blazing fire! Run to the forest!
RUN AWAY!

Eternal autumn!
Eternal autumn!
Eternal
Now I see you in the forest (dream)
with the ashes of your (past)
Through the river let me flow…
Eternal autumn!
Let the leaves fall down
(Let the leaves end)
Eternal autumn!
Let the leaves fall down
(Let the leaves end eternal…)
Let the past go (away)
Find the key to (escape)
This never ending (pain)
Let me rest now…
Now I see you in the forest with the ashes of your past
Through the river let me flow… Is it too much to ask?
Let me free of this burden! Let me free of this life!
With eyes closed through the waters… Send me off to die!
Eternal autumn!
Let the leaves fall down
(Let the leaves end)
Eternal autumn!
Let the leaves fall down
(Let the leaves end eternal…)
Now I see you through the fog.
Now I see my rotten eyes.
Let me flow eternal.

Crown of Leaves

All hail to the king of the playground!
Rise up your plastic guns!
Drink the water of the fountain
and bring forth the dawn!
All hail to the drunk nobody!
Rise up you dirty mugs!
Drink the beer without asking
and bring forth the lamb!
All hail to the king of the wasteland!
Rise up your plastic cups!
Drink the poison of dim color
and bring forth the page!
Trees are dying by your own hand.
I am the aspect of their vengeance.
Look here young man, you are the curse!
Look here, you dog, you’re the cause of this chaos that we’re living in!
All hail to the king of the wasteland!
Rise up your plastic cups!
Drink the poison of dim color
and bring forth the page!
Here is the justice of the forest.
Hear me, I am the law!
Prepare your flesh for the sentence,
crown of leaves for you all!
I’m just flesh, not your vessel. Let me go!
I’m not king, not your sorrow. Let me flow!
Don't refuse your burden
Make the seed a tree
Don’t walk, my cursed mud idol
Don't refuse your burden
Make the seed a tree
Don’t walk, my cursed mud idol
Don’t walk, my cursed mud idol
Deal with your fate
My name was Gabrielle, tell me where I am.
I need to know it! Can you take my hand?
Son of the forest where flamingos dance
I came back with my memories to be one with the land
This is going to be… the end of my disease
I change with the earth I breed;
a new kind of tree.
All hail to the king of the forest!
Rise up your mighty leaves!
Drink the water from the pure river
and restore the morn!
Through the sun and the moon!
From my ashes, I am reborn!
Now I keep the forces of nature,
crown of leaves and all!
