Kama Sutra 05:22
lyrics
Kama Sutra Lay down into my opulence Give up to your mortal greed Unveil your desires And your fetishist dreams Stop in this position, ignition to take flame Burn our bed to cinders as you eagerly scream my name This, the melody of darkness And the flesh under red light Take me into your harem In your palace of delight In this minute of existence all wounds will disappear I’m gonna make you mine when I feel your breath near me No need for disguises in our Arabian nights Let my touch set free this wild fire I’m your demon, I’m your angel I’m an agent for your pleasure We can soar to the highs You’re one more inside my schedule I don’t know how to put it So I’ll moan in your ear

Shadow of The Colossus 08:49
lyrics
Shadow of the Colossus The velvet of the night is but a kiss on my pale face For I wandered through the silence for so long I’m the last one on Earth They’re so big and I, so small… I’m in agony I lost the last one for me And the Colossi are drawing near Was life once a gift? Now, why is it a pain to bear? I’m fully aware of my redundant status on this world A world so fragile and so cold (Chorus) The first heaven was a lie The second heaven’s where I died The third heaven was an illusion for me Like the fourth and the fifth heaven, Same void as numbers six and seven Eighth heaven turned oblivion into a land of light But it is in the Ninth Heaven where I fight We are all pillars of reality Our burden is to hold a world That was never built for us Now I roam the land, From the sea, forest and sand To conquer the giants My tormented mind created (Chorus) The shadow is cast upon us Don’t fear, my child, Young wanderer and wild Create a world without the need for gods

Serpentarius 05:08
lyrics
Serpentarius Serpentarius, serpentarius The lost lore of the zodiac The astral circle hides a secret Suns wandering carriage Travelling with shining minstrels Coronation won’t be long In the cradle of creation I’m a saint and I’m a star The aurora for the poets For astrological bards The serpent queen is diving deeply Into milky way’s sea Ponds of black wine No principles But the constellation’s wings Take my soul Into woe Make my whole Your black hole (Chorus) Carry me beyond thy veil Subdue me in your fangs Sing for me a thousand tales Of your reign among the stars Make me drunk with thy venom Let be reason of my scars Protect me within thy scales Thou, the aegis of the sun In this starship I’m a sailor I’ll prevail Won’t derail Mere ambition Recognition Let be free your imagination

Beyond The Witching Hour 08:03
lyrics
Beyond The Witching Hour All hallows Eve! All hallows Lilith! All hallows me! Lascivious hordes, I’m their herald To crush and curse this gaunt society How dare you call our lore bedight? Blind pig of hostile fraternity Hateful and hypocritical are your tools of persuasion Filthy colonnades holding salvation I reign, brazen and immaculate My thirst, quenched in puritan blood My anger, sated, the Salem’s song Benighted in a copious magick birth, fruitful as my womb Our reaver legacy draws your midnight tomb Ashes blighted our faces but I am prolific as the goddess of fertility Ancients, bless me bequeathing me thy sanctity I will be burned as the devil’s whore All hallows eve! All hallows Lilith! All hallows me! And as sacrifices shall be done In our craft there is no right or wrong Only the wisdom of mother nature, father time Rise, Chernobog! Godforsaken festivity Extol laws of the cosmic energy Let our celebration be held in this wintery All hallows eve Men will drive in pride an empty hearse While we feast, men and beast, alike In Walpurgis Night’s zenith we bask Glorious, those tasked to rid the world of the ecclesiastic mask Over the debris of your palaces We will invoke our paradise Unhinged by the fright of our mere glimmer Your city burns, bent to our revenge After centuries of torture Your inquisition was in vain Now the wine of bacchantes hundredfold Write the story your ancestors never told They were true desecrators in their gist We will live over the Hammer of the Witches Men will drive in pride an empty hearse While we feast, men and beast, alike In Walpurgis Night’s zenith we bask Glorious, those tasked to rid the world of the ecclesiastic mask Over the debris of your palaces We will invoke our paradise I am dressed for the Samhain So kiss your Christians goodbye All hallows Eve! All hallows Lilith! All hallows me!

The Birth Of A Goddess 07:02
lyrics
The Birth of a Goddess Turn away your scriptures and feathers I’m not searching for your heaven You sing about spirits and sinners Living is not for beginners What if I don’t fit, what if I don’t need Your not so special creed? I’ve been taming my demons, sending them away Conflicting since my first day (Chorus) I am the child of the arcane The wind that surrounds me is A kiss from the starlight way I have just sprouted from my conch, So don’t you dare say don’t Release the grace within me Where is my reason to live? I’m the one who always sings About becoming a star I’m the Queen to rule all Queens I’m the soul of everything After all, I am a star I’ve had many blinding my vision Demonizing what makes me me I am proud of my rainbow flag I’m victorious to exist And we shall face the world Burning out all closets We shall face the world Fighting for our causes We shall face the world Cause hate will never defeat love We hold our heads up high Standing for our families We hold up our pride Believing in our sanctity We hold our heads up high Hate will never defeat love Why does the birth of a Goddess Can bother the world? If the prettiest flower is a sight to behold There’s a diva within me and I won’t repress I am a survivor, I’m not going back

Seeds Of Chaos And Serenity Arc 1 Crystal 06:58
lyrics
Seeds of Chaos and Serenity Arc I - Crystal Once upon a world Where stories would never be told Once upon a castle on the moon Silver rays, shimmering stars The galaxy will guide you Wherever you are Seeds of chaos and serenity Guardians of the cradle of the stars Cauldron of all life, born in the center of the universe Take a step in the silver millennium Tale featured into my compendium Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune or Mars Remember me in the moonlight Remember my dead paradise From above I watched As heaven touched the earth And future met the past Through my kaleidoscope I mourned a war so wild Crystal heart, mother and child Disgraced, distorted, aborted I'm aboard a rattle navigating towards dusk Now and hereafter, the burning smell of plasma I'm chaos, one who never became a star Battles always leave scars Civil, soldier, near or far Remember us in the moonlight Remember our dead paradise Remember the princesses and castles Remember the forbidden love between us Remember the wrath of this fighting The truth was dissolved with us into dust Remember the warriors, the pain and the stars Remember the planets, the light shone so far The clock ticking backwards, the glow in my eyes Remember our new paradise

Seeds Of Chaos And Serenity Arc 2 Black Moon 05:14
lyrics
Seeds Of Chaos And Serenity Arc II – Black Moon The silver glimmer heals the world Crystalized within its body there is me And then she came The sprout of hope, a future bright She came In a vortex of time, above my head She fell My life and my heart were bind into a spell Into a twinkle yell My heart is a kaleidoscope Oh, dear, where exactly is here? I never knew where to go And I’m lost forever and ever, forever Today, the moon’s not shining Diamond, Ruby and Sapphire, Emerald Dark ghostly touch Seeds of Chaos and Serenity In the blazing surface of the hyperspace Zodiac hostess embodying hopes for aeons of peace In my lexicon, taboo stands for liberty A refulgent proof of our divinity And although my brethren lie in anarchy But a phantom shadow of my nemesis We once had a vow of prosperity The most blessed curse upon this galaxy Now it’s my time to deceive once and for all My heart is a kaleidoscope Oh, dear, you’re heavenly here I always knew where to go And I’ll know forever and ever, forever The rabbit is on the hole Wonderland’s lost I was gone since the day I was born My heart is a Kaleidoscope And I am finally here

Seeds Of Chaos And Serenity Arc 3 Infinity 08:44
lyrics
Seeds Of Chaos And Serenity Arc III – Infinity Come, devout of the most unholy mess Over senseless stains of gore Rise, apostles, cherish the cult For the new Satan of this world Death and repentance Parents of the silence born In the great uterus of the void Extinction Amidst the primal order, I’ve seen you Fulminating the darkness Of mere mortal platitudes We all wait for a messiah A messenger of order But our thoughts in disarray brought the chaos to our border I see you in my mirror I fight them with my sword I have thee in my brooch and I protect you with my scythe I’ll drink from this chalice With the blessing of the moon Hurts me we have to part But I know I will see you soon A hangloose is the only amulet we have To enter the furnace we were unaware That was the talisman of greater demise The worst thing in the world Is to see your dreams turn to dust Lost in reality’s void You live to fight for what’s right It hurts to see that our ideals brings just nothing You die knowing that something is wrong in the world around us

Seeds Of Chaos And Serenity Arc 4 Dreams 07:52
lyrics
Arc IV – Dreams The universe is built on shards Shards of a mirror Of hope, shards of many hearts And what shine in the ether of the cosmos Are the radiances reflecting from ourselves And then she came, Then I met love and a new hope she gave My life and my heart were bind into her spell Into a twinkle yell I will sing a hundred poems As the one who found true love If you long for the truth, ask the mirror You can lie to books, to writings But not to your own reflection That, in the end, is nothing but a collection Of the things you did in life The dreams are eternal When night brings a new day The only thing we keep When time comes to take Our life seed away I am not afraid of time, why should I be? I grew up to a disguise I never needed to need So let me sleep where I find comfort and balm In the garden on the palm In the hands of the Universal God Let me see inside the man I wish to be Of the future I dreamed for me Be the moon or be the sun Even Queens weep And even darkness has its bright side So don’t bother if I may Build a circus out of gray Masquerading my frustrations My heart is a kaleidoscope (You’re bravely here) Godspeed, and when you’re alone Please, don’t cry Child, come, now it’s bedtime I’ll read a story for you And when you sleep You’ll dream of a better world A world where you’ll never be cold Then our story will be finally true

Seeds Of Chaos And Serenity Arc 5 Stars 10:48
lyrics
Arc V – Stars Under the veil of space, swimming in the milk way Adorned with jewels from the deserts of stardust We act in histrionics, thousand glorious pilgrimages Fighting, singing, dancing Hurtling with a smile on our faces I pray to the starlight gorgeous of this galaxy Make this tale of disgrace an empty page Leave only the memories of those blessed by the splendor They poetize about the song of the cosmos A melody sang by astral bodies and stars Starlight, the compass of all navigators And navigating I fantasize Drifting to the core, the seed of the universe We all have a mission, a light inside us all Materializing in the hopes That keeps our worlds alive Oh, gorgeous meditation My therapy, my kiss The honeymoon, my fall, my bliss Oh shooting stars whose shine I finally can see For now, I’ll just seed the hopes inside me Seeds of chaos and serenity A rain of comets forsaking the past Bringing new loves, bringing new hopes May those finally last The millennium of the new life is here Stars will begin to rise, so said the seer I pray to the starlight gorgeous of this galaxy Now, a new world will be born I’m lost in the endless black of the universe my adventure begun In the world of souls lost in the valley, a mere drop of dew From death always come hope and rebirth So said the cosmos, the ruler of all Light will glow from this nebula Grow, sprouts, grow Raising new life Born from the Milky Way, chaotic beauty Castle of the queen, queen Serenity Astral deities, Helios and Selene The answer is here, I’m part of the Building of Stars (Born to be bright) The Building of Stars… You are the most magnificent star to shine through the eternal splendor

about

After creating quite the buss on the Symphonic Metal scenario with the EP Daphne, focused on social issues such as sexism and homophobia, Brazilian/Italian Epic Symphonic Metal band Ruins of Elysium delivers it’s biggest project to date, the album Seeds of Chaos And Serenity. Consisting of 75 minutes of the most epic Metal, bringing together the grandeur of epic soundtracks, aggressive guitars and fast-paced drums, all embraced by the haunting opera vocals of Tenor Drake Chrisdensen, Ruins of Elysium delivers an unique experience to symphonic metal fans, as no other band counts only with a classical Tenor as main vocal.
Seeds of Chaos And Serenity is composed of 11 tracks, being the 5 last ones the 40 min long epic symphony which names the album.
The themes of the songs range from astrology and witchcraft, as seen on Serpentarius and Beyond the Witching Hour, passing through social issues, as seen on The Birth of A Goddess, about LGBT empowerment, and going even to elements from the geek culture, as seen on Shadow of The Colossus, named after the classical homonymous game, and Seeds of Chaos of Serenity, inspired by Sailor Moon. The song Serpentarius was released as first single on February 10 to great acclaim.
Seeds Of Chaos And Serenity will be available on April 4th, exactly 20 years after Kodasnha published the last volume of the Sailor Moon manga. For fans of Kamelot, Rhapsody of Fire, Nightwish and Xandria with references to Symphonic Black/Metal bands such as Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth and Fleshgod Apocalypse.
