*ташшицо* О.О не, ну надо ж было этой вроде бы непритязательной музыке так меня поднять! Слушаю с довольной физиономией уже три с лишним часа, гоняю по второму кругу Lightseeker и все не устаю !! Нет уж, это вам не печально-эфемерные эльфы Nightwish и несчастные влюбленные девушки в рабстве у демонов. Средневековье Западной Европы и вязкий туман Британии с трупным запахом - развеяло горячим ветром с далеких восточных гор! Это уже не зловонное немецкое колдовство с его козлиными шабашами, вареными воронами и прочей черной мерзостью. Это не демоническая британская любовная магия с призыванием Сатаны в обличье любимого. Туманный и холодный ночной лес под пасмурным небом Лангедока, мрачные поверья катаров ушли в прошлое! Вместо всего этого - теплая ночь, бархатно-черное усыпанное яркими звездами небо и блестящий глянцевыми листьями лес предгорий Карпат. Яркий огонь костра, запах трав. Природная, живая любовная магия, медленный танец молодых ведьм, которых никто не собирается сжигать на костре за одно желание жить, любить и летать. Тихие заклинания над цветами, похожие на шелест листьев. Мудрые золотоглазые орлы, приносящие на своих крыльях влюбленную прямо к порогу желанного дома. Впрочем, кто поотчаяннее - та летит уже совсем по старомодному - на метле А когда догорит костер и затихнет ветер - тогда отразится полная луна в речной воде, и выйдет на берег, держа за руку дочь, одетая в длинную белоснежную сорочку - та, которая уже нашла свою любовь годы назад. Бывшая ведьма, уже ставшая целительницей, объяснит девочке, как можно найти траву и определить ее силу, наблюдая за переливами листвы под луной. Блестящие глаза ребенка загорятся восторгом под волшебно лучащимся взглядом матери. Много времени проведут они на тихом берегу, лишь перед рассветом уйдут назад, к дому, и длинные, черные как смоль, распущенные волосы матери блеснут уходящей луне прощальной искоркой...


А та ведьмочка, с фотографии, определенно хороша!

1. The Circle
Here in the East I bring in Light and Air
To call the breath of life into my lair

Here in the South I bring in Light and Fire
To give me now the warmth that I require

Here in the West I bring in Light and Water
My Goddess will wash clean her daughter

Here in the North I bring in Light and Earth
To strengthen now my second birth


2. Bind You Forever

Almighty wind, feed my obsession
Give me the strength that I need
To fly above this land of hate
The human nature is a poisonous weed

Wash my sins away in a river of holy water
Leave all my fears far behind
Purify my soul in an ocean of smoke and fire
I ask the stars to free my mind

Follow my will, I bind you forever
To hide in the dark, never come out
Obey my magic, I bind you forever
To search for the pain you can’t live without

Almighty Earth, listen my calling
Hear now what I ask
Bury the wicked, swallow the evil
Wipe down the soul of the unholy mask

Wash my sins away in a river of holy water
Leave all my fears far behind
Purify my soul in an ocean of smoke and fire
I ask the stars to free my mind

Follow my will, I bind you forever
To hide in the dark, never come out
Obey my magic, I bind you forever
To search for the pain you can’t live without


3. Bittersweet Nightshade

Armies of faeries
Fly now in golden circles
Climbing the Bittersweet
Nightshade

Your poison berries
Put me in ecstasy
The cover of your leaves
Is like a green cascade

Take me to the Moon
Swing me to the Sun
Sing with me the tune
Bewitching everyone

My sweetest hours
I wish will never run away
Climbing the Bittersweet
Nightshade

Your purple flowers
Like my goddess’s crown
Show me the truth
In my crystal blade

Take me to the Moon
Swing me to the Sun
Sing with me the tune
Bewitching everyone


4. Dance Of The Wasp

I know what you fear
But from me you’ll never get away
You hear my song in your ear now
No one can save you
I do the dance of the Wasp

I know it’s a trap
But my wings are too tired to fly
I’m caught in a honey jar
No one can hear me
I do the dance of the wasp

The wasp queen draws a warning
With every beat of her wings
Her curse brings your ending near
With every sting that she gives

I know your desire
And I know there is nothing you can do
You’re in the circle of fire now
No one can save you
I do the dance of the Wasp

The wasp queen draws a warning
With every beat of her wings
Her curse brings your ending near
With every sting that she gives


5. A New Paradise

There’s a war now in Heaven
You can see it too
I want to change everything
I want something new
But please don’t send me away
My dream is not fulfilled
All I wanted was to sing
Just wanted to build

A new Paradise
Out of sight from your eyes
My troubles are ending
A new Paradise
Or a Hell in disguise
Is what I’m demanding

All alone in the darkness
I am waiting for you
Ready to cross the line
To a different truth
I do not like this void
I’m falling through
But I’m waiting to see a sign
Waiting to get to ...

A new Paradise
Out of sight from your eyes
My troubles are ending
A new Paradise
Or a Hell in disguise
Is what I’m demanding


6. Samhain

You can smell it in the air
It is the time of burning leaves
The little girl peels the apple
Round and round

The Earth is alive
And she sees what she believes
The hazelnuts lie
Open on the ground

Samhain
Samhain
Samhain

Let’s open the gates
So our loved ones may pass !


7. Witch's Broom

I’m on the Witch’s broom
Now the time has come
To follow my desire
To sneak into that room
Steal the Witch’s broom
And fly higher and higher

Silence all around me
I whisper the charm
As long as she’s asleep
My spell she cannot sweep
I’m safe from all harm

I climb on the Witch’s broom
In the heart of the night
I fly on the Witch’s broom
Fly away in my delight

Tonight I’ll fly to the moon
Please do not ask me why
And if you don’t believe
We’ll meet on Hallow’s Eve
And ride through the sky

The lightning shows my way
The owl scouts ahead
And in the darkest night
When everything is right
I’ll snatch you from your bed

I climb on the Witch’s broom
In the heart of the night
I fly on the Witch’s broom
Fly away in my delight


8. The Living Grimoire

A little black bird called me
And told me I must run
There is evil in this house
Enslaving everyone
A little black bird called me
And told me that I could
Have all the power here
By knowing all the truth
I must now speak in silence
My path I must not stray
There’s a door into the mirror
I must go that way
And in the secret chamber
On an old armoire
I see the living Grimoire

A tool forged of flesh, altered by spirit
With a will of its own, all demons can hear it
I’ll sing on and on until the charge is complete
And I will not know defeat

Oh, Book of Shadows forgotten in time
Your magic, your power's reshaping my mind
Oh, Book of Shadows, I am your slave
Into eternity I’ll ride your magic wave

Almighty tome, open your eye
Unlock the secrets so I will never die
Teach me your ways so I’ll make no mistake
When I will rule the snake

Oh, Book of Shadows forgotten in time
Your magic, your power's reshaping my mind
Oh, Book of Shadows, I am your slave
Into eternity I’ll ride your magic wave


9. Black Lace

And a curse has fallen on my head
To balance all the sins that I have done
It really doesn’t matter how many tears I’ve shed
If you see that dress you know you’d better run

Feel the sorrow in my heart
It tears me apart
Even though it’s not my will
You cannot hide from my embrace
Escape my black lace
So get ready for the kill

The lace will lure all men into my arms
A thing that I enjoy, I must confess
But in the end they die, so tells the charm
On every full moon I have to wear that dress

Feel the sorrow in my heart
It tears me apart
Even though it’s not my will
You cannot hide from my embrace
Escape my black lace
So get ready for the kill


10. Curse For Eternity

Staring into the Sun
Blood stops running inside of me
Into a curse for eternity
Chasing the light away
The night is falling inside of me
Into a curse for eternity

It’s time to tell the story
Of a birth into the other side
In the midnight hour
With a kiss, I died
Statues bring to life
Another world in sight
Defying laws of physics
Creatures vanish in the night

On and on I turn to stone
Like the ages that fall upon my skin
And it feels like I’m burning
On and on I’m crawling into darkness
I bear a curse for eternity

Staring into the Sun
Blood stops running inside of me
Into a curse for eternity
Chasing the light away
The night is falling inside of me
Into a curse for eternity

My heart will now stop beating
I feel no regret this time
No fear and no sorrow
For the end of the line
In my eyes you can see
My last image of you
A solitary picture
Of the evil I can do

On and on I turn to stone
Like the ages that fall upon my skin
And it feels like I’m burning
On and on I’m crawling into darkness
I bear a curse for eternity

Staring into the Sun
Blood stops running inside of me
Into a curse for eternity
Chasing the light away
The night is falling inside of me
Into a curse for eternity


11. Wormwood

Leave behind your worries, and then
Slip into my world of faeries
Nothing in this life can keep you down
Taste a drop of magic, and then
Look into that green and tragic
Devil, you will see it’s just a clown

The wheel is turning, the night is burning
Deep inside my heart
Can you feel its agony ?
The wheel is turning, the night is burning
Deep inside my heart
Like this spell
So mote it be !

Place the wormwood in my eyes, so I can see the truth
The bitter taste will rule my mind and I will feel no ruth
Burn the wormwood in the night, to set the spirits free
The innocence is left behind, to fight insanity

All around me is vibrating
Or am I hallucinating ?
Symphonies of chaos in my head
That green vial is my blight
Glowing in the moonlight
You cannot touch me when you’re dead

The wheel is turning, the night is burning
Deep inside my heart
Can you feel its agony ?
The wheel is turning, the night is burning
Deep inside my heart
Like this spell
So mote it be !


12. Inluminata

Noapte
Pe comori joacг focuri
E plinг pгdurea de soapte
Duhuri tainice jocuri
Оncep

Clipa
Devine o viatг
Iar visu-si оntinde aripa
Din valuri de ceatг
Mi-te aratг si-ascultг

Zeitг, Reginг

Albг stгpоnг-a noptii
Fi-mi cгlгuzг din nori
Aratг-mi drumul
L-am pierdut de prea multe ori
Scarг de-argint coboarг
Cerne luminг de stea
Deschide-mi ochii, ia-mг
Оn lumina ta !

Stele
Оnapoi si-nainte
Plutesc, fir de praf оntre ele
Fгrг glas si cuvinte
Оn zbor

Soartг
Sг aleg dг-mi putere
Sг-nchipui cгrarea spre poartг
Dintre mii de himere
Sus rгsari, mг primeste

Zeitг, Reginг

Albг stгpоnг-a noptii
Fi-mi cгlгuzг din nori
Aratг-mi drumul
L-am pierdut de prea multe ori
Scarг de-argint coboarг
Cerne luminг de stea
Deschide-mi ochii, ia-mг
Оn lumina ta !

Palidг-mpгrгteasг
Sг vгd оnvatг-mг iar
Оndrumг-mi pasii
Dincolo de-al lumii hotar
Poarta m-asteaptг largг
Calea e-un fir nevгzut
Pгsesc pe nori, si parcг
Azi am renгscut
