Cry Not 04:01
Cry not Carlos Machado Junior / Juan Viacava / Athos Maia Words slip away from my hands, blend with sweat and rot down into your mouth. Come and take a look: it's me, over there, flying over the fog from your dirty breath. Hiding the dizzying sound of your hair. Hiding the dizzying sound of your shoes, Listen: someone is entering this noisy room, there is no space out, so, please, come inside, Have you swallowed them? Have you heard what I gave you? I may slay these words with blades, recovering tender wounds with tears Deception is my burnt wing, I´ll take you to my promised land Then I can just step you on the floor, and you'll know: pain sustains my heavy weight Around your teeth. Cry not.

Frighten lady ( Music: Juan/Carlos - Lyrics: Carlos ) Show me your face, frighten lady. Beg me aid from my last resort For no one can answer your envy. For no one can bring up your core. Shall not cover the realm from the light, Leave seclusion of men when it's time Raise your veil and let tears fall behind. ( I ) Provide you lucidity for less than a dime. Wait the sleepless hours and come from the back No one can hear your trembling voice, ( but me ) Perspire ill whispers and lay down in quick ( REFRÂO ) Frighten lady: a sumptuous cosmopolis. Allow me to decipher your raving branches ( and ) gather no pain from fragments. Retain memories in a labyrinth stretch Pulsate your continual segment. Relieve from breaking your cloth. Spread readable signs along the way Like a souring song on a stave. Show me the poetry of your last day.

NOIR SENSATION ( music: Juan/Carlos; Lyrics: Athos Maia/Carlos ) I cannot see your eyes' color, They are empty, who has stolen its brightness? Your pale lips were so sweet over my mouth, Where had your smile run to? Weeps go warm when I touch your cold body, I remember cheer days while holding you lifeless hand. You have blinded me, I have illusions no longer! Only a bitter feeling of sadness. Doubtful sensations go through my flesh, Confused, I let fear controlling my emotions. I feel noir embracing me with its warming and lovely arm, I belong to her as life belongs to light. Touched, an angel heats me in his arms, Pour over me all of his fault. I am his pleasures' accomplice Burgeon of your fester...

Dropping Dry Leaves (Carlos Machado/Juan Viacava) Whispers from time is heard and embrace dead trees Autumn falls merciless, crossing land: pale season fades man Nothing is done, nothing but dirt, and places damp seize. In flames, you call the heartless, draining mind: bloody No quimeras, only empty blows out of gentle desire Fancy thrusts the mourning mood fairly slow Dissemble hideous beatings steadily arose Suavity holds drums sounds along with dim rays Shame hangs sagacity above groans of grief Liquor spreads nonsense chords in oaks Bride's velvet embraces cold corpses. Oh wind! Carry my conscious. Untie my presence. No quimeras, only empty blows out of gentle desire Fancy thrusts the mourning mood fairly slow Dissemble hideous beatings steadily arose Suavity holds drums sounds along with dim rays Struggle with men's contempt Deceive the illusion of being a knight. Effusive delirium states above certainty; All is nothing: truth is a fake. Hoisting sounds from pallid stars Devotes sonorous pain to eternal rest Young Faith's Sordid smile ponders: Memory in Mausoleum, mendacity in me!

As Tears Fall (Carlos Machado/Juan Viacava) As soon as tears fall, poetry sings a song, Body strains the drops and gives them breath, World stops around: no sound, cheers no long, Whirlwind insults "la Petit Mort", signs of dearth. Your bright eyes reveal traces of light Contempling the tears in the tarnished face ( that ): Altough may be deformed, shows authentic sights Of weakness and defeat by frustation and grace. Sweet young lady, "Liaisons" decorate your beauty-dress "Broderies" fasten your shining arms. It is me who dresses you and, within myself, I own your cloth. But she will fade as mortality re-emerges. Clothes are now "noir", long black retails of the song. Silence. Cold. Rain. A bitter drop drains the sad leaf as tears fall!

Noble Thief 03:02
Noble thief (Carlos Machado/Juan Viacava) Expelled from my land, burglar. Glory and honor weren’t enough promises to my name. Am I coward? So said my past. But I’ll prove him. Remembrances blind reality. Desire to kill my bride? I am killing her. Blood, blood on my hands. Blood of a woman

Burying the Wizard ( Carlos/Juan ) By the time he was by himself at Stragon´s shore, With imperfection, like a maculated glass, his hands gathered water toward his face An once naive movement became desperation, while He had been told by the wind's howl about the presence of Musa, the Wizard. - “Aue dominus” ! There had been a sad struggle by the forest. Shall I ride you home, foreigner? - Shall I be abulic? Take your “vitae” out of here. “Adieu” my friend! - my “vitae” has brought this world hope and truth for the weakens. - take a look at me and wonder if what you have just said is really acurreted! There were honest words, though truth is not made of good will As his defensive spells are not much stronger than a whisper. Like a battering rum, steel broke into his fortress At that time, he had sealed an endless marriage with the Pagan. Hiding his actions, covered the man within the land. The “Requiem”.

Rage of the Orientals ( Juan/Carlos ) Forecasting the eastern rage, dust from the ground raises like black cloud covering the horizon line. An earthquake pushes dropping dry leaves around me. A crowd without a name! Chaos! Voices!, those who had never seen each other before, Eyes, Steps. those who do not know each other, Chaos! Voices! (Victor Hugo in Feuilles d'Automne ) Those are in a desperate union of destiny: the will to survive And I wanted to survive! The truth came with the first relieved breath of outcast.

Soundless end (Carlos Machado/Juan Viacava) Part I. Tottering Dearth I have been told it is a place where I could be living with myself. Even tough I see no one there, I carry my heavy being ahead. The soft sound and dampness of here give me the impression of its space: And there is none to me. As I turn around, I can visualize voices. They are all one. I feel I am lost in doubt towards reality. Emptiness holds me around together with the fullness of life. Have no laugh, have no tears. She had given my existence its name. And there came poetry held with her, quietly entering the door, dwelling my soul. I have seen myself being taken by her. She brought me all. She made me understand I am here only for her. She said she would take me to the most beautiful land my eyes were able to see. We have sailed for thousands of days, crossed seas, rivers, lands, not a sound on the way passed between us. And finally, there we were: it was a small wooden house, close to a lake. She invited me to enter. Opened the door. Turn off the lights. There were a silhouette of a man laying in a bed... The old man over the bed is all I have become: soundless! Part II. Enchantress Cry not the tears stronglessness my friend And be prepared for the enchanted end And never close your eyes to sadness. Here is the theory that brings you pain: Breath the book and lift the air again, So that you can lay your head down the tempest... Second voice: Here the moment stands Here sadness lives I really Know you! Third voice: Crawling through the sailing Theory of the pain We are new breath of all sorrow.
