Nietzsche l'Anticristo

Nuova versione di "The Disturbing Guest", incisa in Aprile 2020.

Qui si narra di un Cavaliere che si chiude nel suo castello per sfuggire alla pestilenza ed alla morte. Banchetti e giuochi, gioie e danze esplodono attorno a lui per creare un mondo protetto e salvo fra le solide mura del suo palazzo. Chiudendo le porte dietro di sé, però, il Cavaliere non si accorge di avere messo bene in salvo, nella propria dimora,anche una misteriosa ospite : una Dama, la cui identità si rivelerà sorprendente ed agghiacciante... .


Musica e testo : Alessandro Peroni
Voci : Donatella Bartolomei

The Disturbing Guest

Once upon a time the Lord of these lands
Lived  in his castle away from it all
He used every day to climb a tower
Through the spyglass  he watched the world.

Here came one day the enemy army
Killing the people and looting the city.
The Lord looked away and closed his ears
He wouldn’t see, listen or pity.

Then the plague came and his people died
The Lord closed the gate and so he felt safe
He called his friends of beauty and youth,
He offered them a banquet,a banquet for life. 

Just about midnight a Lady went in
She wanted to dance a gigue with the Lord  
Everyone wandered who was that guest
Dressed in white and carrying a sword.  

At last she spoke to the Lord and his friends
“You closed the doors and yet I came in
I’m your Lady, unmerciful Death
Tonight I’ll take you away with me”.

The Disturbing Guest

Nuova versione di "Being your slave".

Musica : Alessandro Peroni.
Voci : Donatella Bartolomei.
Testo : William Shakespeare.

Being Your Slave :

Being your slave, what should I do but tend
Upon the hours and times of your desire?
I have no precious time at all to spend,
Nor services to do, till you require.

Nor dare I chide the world without end hour
Whilst I, my sovereign,watch the clock for you,
Nor think the bitterness of absence sour
When you have bid your servant once adieu.

So true a fool is love that in your will,
Though you do any thing, he thinks no ill.

Nor dare I question with my jealous thought
Where you may be, or your affairs suppose,
But, like a sad slave, stay and think of nought
Save, where you are how happy you make those.

So true a fool is love that in your will,
Though you do any thing, he thinks no ill.

So true a fool is love that in your will,
Though you do any thing, he thinks no ill.

Being Your Slave (Shakespeare's Sonnet 57)

Nuova versione di Killer Moon.

Musica e testo : Alessandro Peroni.
Voci : Donatella Bartolomei.

Killer Moon :

Four weeks per month
I live in normality
Invisible, submissive
A shadow in the crowd
The twenty-eigth night
Something happens at last
Full moon again
The beast reborn is free

Killer moon today comes too late
Killer moon today comes too late

Full moon eventually
A shadow on the wall
It’s me, it’s death
Walking behind you
You can’t see my blade
too fast for your eyes
just a glow in the dark
it cuts your throat so well

Killer moon today comes too late
Killer moon today comes too late
Killer moon today comes too late

Your blood is welling
As your soul slowly leaves
I tear your beating heart
And now I quench my hunger
One night per month
Worth of living again
I feel alive and burning
Then the beast goes to sleep

Killer moon today comes too late
Killer moon today comes too late
Killer moon today comes too late
Killer moon today comes too late

Killer Moon

Nuova versione di Opus Obscurum.

Voci : Donatella Bartolomei
Musica e testo : Alessandro Peroni

Opus Obscurum : 

I can see the fear in your eyes
Every time I walk among you
‘cos I know deep in my heart
Evil fate awaiting you


I’m the wizard, the alchemist
Coming from the land of Nowhere
From such a long lost time
Dark sand of centuries


There’s no love, there’s no light
The loneliness of an old wise men
Dead language of an ancient book
The only friend in a long black night

Opus obscurum, arcanum silendum
Opus obscurum, arcanum silendum

Deep experience, forbidden science
Is the way of hidden knowledge 
In the secret of the crypt
I’m creating magic life

Opus obscurum, arcanum silendum
Opus obscurum, arcanum silendum
       

Ora, lege, relege et labora
Potentia magna sapientia est
Ora, lege, labora et invenis
Sapientia, fides et anima

I need no woman’s love
To generate my offspring now
A new genesis, a new god
I give life to four elements

Opus obscurum, arcanum silendum
Opus obscurum, arcanum silendum.

Opus Obscurum

Nuova versione di "Holy Inquisition".

Musica e testo di Alessadro Peroni.
Voci di Donatella Bartolomei

Holy Inquisition :

I’m coming from Rome
To bring you the rule of God
His Justice  eternal
His Power and Glory

The Bible  the Cross
The Hammer of heresy
The trial  the torture
The stake  in the name of the Lord

The witch is burning
I fight the sorcery

You witch  on your knees
Confess your horrible sin
The covenant infamous
With Satan  your master and lover

The witch is burning
I fight the sorcery
I’m Holy Inquisition
Against the heresy

Your glances  so tempting
Implore  my pardon and pity
But your game has failed
And I send you to burn at the stake

Utrum afferre maleficos esse
Sit adeo catholicum
Quod enim oppositum pertinaciter afferre
Omnino sit haereticum

The witch is burning
I fight the sorcery
I’m Holy Inquisition
Against the heresy

Holy Inquisition
