The Masque Of Red Death
05:52
|
|||
The pestilence has devastated all the outside world
It’s so fatal and has made more victims than a war
Scarlet stains upon the body and upon the face
Bleeding at the pores and redness, heralds of the pain
Chorus:
Behind the mask I have seen your face and I’ve seen my end
Masque of Red Death will find you everywhere
I’ve heard the clock
In the silence, the countdown of my end
Masque of Red Death will be everywhere
The prince took refuge in the castle with a thousand friends
Six months locked up in the fortress to defend themselves
He went all the way to pamper, entertain his guests
Within the walls they could be safe, outside was the Red Death
Repeat Chorus
The dance just started, masks are on the floor
There are jokers, music, wine and more
What will you find walking through the corridors?
Seven coloured rooms behind strange doors
Solo: Lele/Dario/Marco
When a bloodstained mask appeared then
Terror glared inside their eyes
It looks real but you can't kill it
And now Red Death reached their minds!
Repeat Chorus

Hunter's Dream
06:44
|
|||
Underground lies a secret
The remains of an ancient world
Catacombs full of wonders
Our thirst for knowledge burns!
There’s a drop of the Old Blood
No one knows where it’s coming from
But the Church will discover
The power it holds!
Bridge 1:
The Old Gods wait for us
Communion cannot be too far
Awake the Ones!
The chalice will reveal
A future stemming from the past
Spawned in the dark
No feelings left in our hearts
In the invisible village
There’s a ritual going on
In the school of the nightmare
The cosmic prince is born
Then the Choirs are singing
For the daughter of outer space
In the hope of unlocking
The knowledge celestial
Bridge 2:
The beasts are roaming free
Night of the hunt it has begun
Beware the dark
Disfigured and tormented
These things were men, now are they what?
The Hunters' prey
No feelings left in their hearts
Chorus 1:
Welcome to my dream
A place to rest your weary hand
It’s your turn
Worship the moon painted in red
An eternal night
You will re-live until you find
The secret behind the paleblood sky
Solo: Dario
Have you heard of the spider
Of the powers he kept at bay
With him gone all the nightmares
Come crawling
Your way
The Doll (Bridge 3):
It’s time to make a choice
Forge your own path
Now hear my voice
Good hunter, come
No feelings left in your heart
Repeat Chorus 1
Chorus 2:
In the waking world
Good hunter you will find your worth
Dawn is coming soon
This dream will end, and so will you
Time to be reborn
As something new, as so much more
Just look to the stars
From where they come

Fade Away
04:17
|
|||
This is a neverending quest that you are on
To understand the meaning of life and death and all
And every time you draw the blood of other men
You feel the noose is getting tighter around your neck
Chorus:
Find the light
Open up your heart tonight
Who could frame your fearful symmetry?
What immortal hand or eye?
Eyes of coal
Will reflect your very soul
And the lies you tell about yourself
Fade away forevermore
The eyes of fire from the dark are looking back
There’s not a single night alone in your weary head
You hear them calling out your name to drive you mad
To find the inner peace you seek you must fight again
Bridge:
Hunt them down
The undead
There is nothing else to do
Give them rest, Scourge of the Dead
You’re the only one who can
Solo: Dario
This is a neverending quest that you are on
This is a burden you must carry until you die
A life of solitude to serve the will of God
And in the end you know that death will be your reward
Repeat Chorus

Nera Sinfonia
05:19
|
|||
Trema la mia mano, rigida
Sulla carta sembra muoversi da sé
Geroglifici impossibili
Non mi arrendo, ma una logica non c’è
Spire di follia mi avvolgono
Troppo lucide per la mia sanità
La scoperta inaccettabile
La visione di una cruda verità
Bridge:
Su questa isola
I resti di una civiltà
Inconcepibile
Che presto si risveglierà
Chorus:
Sognano tra rovine antiche
Un’oscura profezia
Sorgerà dalle profondità
Una nera sinfonia
Solo: Dario/Marco
Dagli spazi siderali giunsero
Dopo un lungo viaggio nell’oscurità
Dominarono la Terra eoni fa
Prima dell’avvento dell’umanità
Bridge 2:
Su questa isola la gloria di una civiltà
Inconcepibile
Che presto ci rimpiazzerà
Repeat Chorus 1:
Chorus 2:
Non ho più scopi razionali
Non mi resta che pazzia
Piegherò ogni mia volontà
A una nera sinfonia

Solace in Death
04:03
|
|||
Fight!
In the catacombs they come alive
It’s the final fight!
It’s the end of the road for their kind
Fight!
When the armies of dead will arise
You will stand and fight!
It’s your doom and there’s no end in sight
Chorus:
No tomorrow
Peace in death
Find the solace
You’ve been looking for all of your life
Light! Light your lantern to keep them in sight
Then prepare to strike
End their unholy, blasphemous life
Repeat Chorus
The broken seal has led them this way
Once again
The undead hunter cuts through their ranks
Like a blade
The lantern’s light will soon be no more
That, he knows
Only his death the portal will close
Forevermore
Solo: Lele/Dario
Repeat Chorus

The Ringmaster
05:29
|

Hurry up my friend the show has come to town
We’re waiting just for you
Prepare yourself for many wonders to behold
You’ll see, it’s something new!
Bridge 1:
Don’t be afraid, just enter straight into the tent
It’d be a shame to lose this single time event
You’ll see deformities way beyond belief
A twisted evil breed
But it’s important that you come inside alone
Just place your trust in me
Chorus 1:
The curtain hides the things you’ve always feared
And they’ll haunt you for many years
But there’s another choice that you can make
To become part of something great
Lie down, soon you’ll be in this family
Don’t move, or I’ll make you scream
I know, everyone is afraid of clowns
But you, you just stand down!
Repeat Chorus 1
Bridge 2:
Don’t be afraid, don’t mind at all this awful scent
Oh what a shame, you know we’re not what we pretend!
Solo: Marco/Lele
The dawn is coming fast, the circus leaves the town
Just litter on the ground
But still remains the echo of an eerie sound
It’s like an evil laugh
Repeat Chorus 1
Chorus 2:
The curtain hides the things you’ve always feared
And they’ll haunt you for many years
But there’s another choice I’ll make for you
To become part of something new

Of Gods And Mortals
05:34
|
|||
Since the dawn of man, we looked for clues
To our existence
In a multiverse of make believe
Created by thoughts and dreams
Made of our thoughts and dreams
Chorus 1:
Come sit around the fire
Listen to stories told
These tales of gods and mortals
Where new realities unfold
Since the dawn of man, we’ve been denied
A reason to be here
So we made our own and shaped the gods
To guide our path in life
Like a light in the dark
Repeat Chorus 1
Everyone believes in something, has a tale they want to be
As real as it can be
In the eternal fight of good and bad
What about humanity?
Solo: Marco/Lele
Zeus, Hades and Poseidon the Titans killed to take revenge
Sekhmet, freed from Ra, burned the traitors with her fiery breath
When Ragnarok’s upon us it’s the end of everything
But we’ll be reborn, fate rolls on just like a wheel
Solo: Dario
Aliens came to Earth and soon they were worshipped as gods
When men stop believing, their wrath will fall on us all
Evil will always be there, in the corner of your eye
When Death comes to take you, you will know if you’ll live or you’ll die
Repeat Chorus 1
Chorus 2:
I’m but a humble servant
My King is Fantasy
There’s power in our stories
Dreamers will shape reality

The Colour Out Of Space
07:33
|
|||
There are dark places in these woods
Full of secrets that no one knows
Where the sun cannot pierce the gloom
I’ll tell you a story
Near the place of the Gardners’ farm
Something strange fell down from the sky
It looked like a weird shooting star
But no, it was not!
All the nature around the place
Started morphing to something new
And the family had to face
The horror incoming
From the field where the colour fell
The pollution was on its way
To the water deep in the well
Oh no! It seemed to grow!
Chorus:
Whatever that was it was simply wrong
(not something part of this world)
And no one knows where it came from
I say it was a colour out of space
(it came here from another world)
And to the Earth doesn’t belong
It was spreading like a disease
Like a cancer the horror grew
A reality hard to believe
Hideous and sprawling
For the Gardners there was no hope
And the farm was a livin’ hell
But there was nowhere to go
No! No, no, no!
Repeat Chorus
While the trees are learning how to talk
Miskatonic slowly flows
Flowers bloom of colours you don’t know
Shapes way different than before
I don’t know the reason why
It came down here from the sky
Solo: Dario(1st break)/Marco/Dario/Marco/Dario/Marco/Dario/Both (melody)

Crimson Dawn Italy
D. Beretta (Drakkar) and E. Rastelli (Crown of Autumn) created Crimson Dawn in 2005 as a side project. After a demo-CD, the project was shelved. In 2008, Dario made the decision to resurrect it and shape it into a real band. Since then, the band has recorded four full-length albums and two EPs, and played several shows across Europe. ... more
