The Comeback

La Scaltra -Cantate

“Beneath the chilly moonglow one ponders the delicious conundrum of the Forbidden. The thrill of diving into the depths of desire to satiate an unnamable yearning. In the grand opera of life, some find their hearts drawn to the most enigmatic of duets. A dance shrouded in secrecy, away from the prying eyes of the world’s chorus. In the covert corners of existence, Forbidden romances bloom like exotic flowers, their allure only heightened by their veiled nature. “I know you’re craving; we were outcasts all along,” whispers the siren song of the heart, a tune as old as time yet ever fresh to those who dare to listen. Perhaps it’s not about right and wrong but the irresistible pull of the tantalizing Forbidden. The eerie video delves into this mystery realm with gusto, taking us on a strange sojourn into the twilight. The haunting voice of Pete Mills serves as a guiding light through this shadowy adventure, cutting through the darkness with the intensity and warmth of a candle’s flame. His earnest croon adds a layer of depth and sincerity. The protagonists, outcasts by nature, grapple with their desires in the shadows. Amidst secrets and whispers, their passion is intense yet prohibited, leading them to a paradise where they are exiled, consumed by a dark and irresistible love.”

Moonlight through my window
The world around us sleeps
Lamp lights the darkness
From the shadows that we keep

I know your waiting
In the twilight until dawn				
I know you’re craving
We were outcasts all along
Maybe we were wrong to do it
Or just sick for what we need 

Forbidden Forbidden Forbidden 
Forbidden Forbidden
We fall into the waves of paradise 
Exiled for life
Forbidden Forbidden 
Forbidden Forbidden 

Secrets, cut like scissors
Through the truth, down below
Poisonous whispers
How much do they know?

Forbidden Forbidden Forbidden 
Forbidden Forbidden
We fall into the waves of paradise 
Exiled for life
Forbidden Forbidden 
Forbidden Forbidden 

Every night the sun sets slowly
My darkened heart so controls me 
Beneath the silver moon I can’t wait to taste you
I’m sucked into the black hole of your arms 

Forbidden Forbidden 
Forbidden Forbidden 

Fall into the waves of paradise 
Exiled for life
Forbidden Forbidden 
Forbidden Forbidden 
Couldn’t keep myself away although I tried 
Burned by your fire
Forbidden Forbidden
Forbidden Forbidden

Nowhere

Forbidden

All that's holy
Pure and born free
Ends in curses
Tears and hearses
We all know this 
And we won't miss
All your drama
And your bullshit
Beg for money
Always guilt free
You won't get a single thing from me
For free

Get out
We owe you nothing 
We all fall down

Get Out

If love can’t outlast the grave, then what’s the point of it all? Blood Red Roses offers a tale of love as both a blessing and a curse, a lover’s spell that binds and breaks. The lyrics speak of the painful grip of desire, where passion cuts deep, and the roses bloom with both beauty and brutality. It’s a song of torment, of being bound to a love that wounds as much as it seduces. The heart, though shattered, is drawn ever closer to the sweet destruction. Blood Red Roses weaves a rich tapestry of religious themes and metaphors, invoking the crucifixion—the ultimate act of sacrifice—and the unwavering faith in resurrection. In the realm of gothic literature, parallels are drawn between the holy communion and the dark covenant of iconic vampires like Nosferatu, Dracula, and Vourdalak. Legends recount how those who witnessed such haunting spectacles etched their tales into history, whispering of eternal life.
In this context, roses—deep crimson and tinged with blood—become powerful symbols of a love forged in sacrifice. The inspiration for writing Blood Red Roses emerged from a serene moment of introspection, its haunting hook taking shape during a meditative moment when frontman Pete Mills drifted beyond time into a spiritual plane. The themes explored in the track also delve into a toxic love that spirals into depravity yet clings desperately to the flicker of hope for rebirth and redemption—all things part and parcel regarding religious fervor and pacts sealed in blood.

The video for the song, inspired by Denis Villeneuve’s Dune adaptation—particularly the infrared scenes of Feyd-Rautha (Austin Butler) in the arena—was shot by Ellen Hawk. It showcases Mills’ multi-instrumental talents and mirrors the song’s intensity, capturing the complex emotions at the heart of Blood Red Roses.

Released at the spawn of Autumn as the world shifts into the cold of winter, Blood Red Roses keeps those, who dare to love, warm throughout the storm.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. The oscillating waves of connection run high not only when together but when apart. Dame and Damage was born out of a time away from my beloved. My imagination envisioned us together through all the ages starting back in the castles of medieval times. During this primitive era, circumstances created a need for a higher form of love. I crave this deepened unity overcoming all.

The Last Time

“Meet Me At The End” is about the experience of reconnecting with oneself and searching for identity. It explores hardship, transformation, and loss with lyrics that express feeling lost but determined to find meaning again. The call to "meet me at the end, the place where I'm supposed to be" symbolizes the moment of coming back to yourself. With melancholic yet resolute tones, the song captures the process of rediscovering who you are.
