Procemium/A Viking Belief:
(MMII)
In the midst of the fog wanders the misanthropic spirits of the ancient times
It’s filled of prowess, it’s filled of pride, it’s filled of hate…
A long time ago in Scandinavia there was a Viking belief
About Valhalla – The golden hall in the skies, destiny that all man pleaded
Besieged in Asgard, had five hundred and forty doors,
protected with an unending roof of shields, was the home for a warriors core
Odin – The paramount god, master of Berserks and father of all
Tor – The mighty one, Mjollnir’s owner, killer of giants
Valkyries – Choosers of death, horsewomen armed with Gungnirs
Freyr – God of fertility, the son of Nord – Lord of the seas. (Adage # I)
Then arrived the Ragnarok – The twilight of the gods
A cataclysm that after three winters, left the world absorded to the evil lords
The Muspell bonfires wasted all the creation
Odin and Tor thus died, only their sons survived to extermination
Loky – Naughty and fickle, free from chains at the final battle
Nidhogg – Dragon of Niflheim, men’s devouring, tormentor of Yggdrasil
Jormundgand – The world’s serpent, poison and damn of Midgard
Fenrir – The feral wolf, released from Gleipnir, swallowed the sun(Adage # II)
”Three roots opened three ways below the ash Yggdrasil.
Hel is under the first one, the giants of cold are under the second one
and mankind is under the last.“ – The lay of Grimnir (popular)
”Amongst the forest’s singing trees, ferocious flames lick the funeral pyre.
Their song makes bones freeze, a pale face stares against the moon…
…The golden hall in the skies, in Valhalla Odin and Tor are waiting.
Blood runs red across the sword, before the Armageddon, forever, the Goblins’ song…
Amongst the forest’s singing trees, ferocious flames lick the funeral pyre
blood runs red across the sword, before the Armageddon, forever the Goblins’ song.”
(words of Istar)
A heritage remain, in the northern winds of tragedies
The vagrant spirit of Normand Drakkars, shall forever terrify the seas
Bygone amazement, permanent on folklore and mythology
They fought for pagan prosperity…
(Adage # I/II)

O Adamastor:
(MMII)
Porém, já cinco sois eram passados
que de ali nós partíramos, cortando
os mares nunca dantes navegados
prosperamente os ventos assoprando.
Quando uma noite, estando descuidados
na cortadora proa vigiando
uma nuvem que os ares escurece
sobre as nossas cabeças aparece
Tão temerosa vinha e carregada
que pôs nos corações um grande medo
bramindo, o negro mar de longe brada
como se desse em vão nalgum rochedo.
“Ó potestade“, disse, sublimada,
“que ameaço divino ou que segredo,
este clima e este mar nos apresenta
que mor coisa parece que tormenta?”
O Adamastor… É o Adamastor!
Não acabava, quando uma figura
se nos mostra no ar robusta e válida
de disforme e grandíssima estatura
o rosto carregado, a barba esquálida.
Os olhos encovados e a postura
medonha e má e a cor terrena e pálida,
cheios de terra e crespos os cabelos
a boca negra, os dentes amarelos.
O Adamastor… É o Adamastor!
Luís de Camões (MDXXIV/MDLXXX)
in Os Lusíadas. (MDLXXI)

Amor Platónico:
(MMII/MMVIII)
O que é o amor sem carne? Infinito, distante...
Como uma dor, intemporal... Ausência, amor platónico
Amor que não toca e sente, amor que não sente e arde
amor que não arde e queima
O que é o amor sem carne? É bonito, é assim
Espera na imagem do sonho, espera no tempo que passa
espera na razão, não cança... Fica agarrado à espera
O que é o amor sem carne? Na confiança da promessa
vai ao fim de tudo e regressa... Amor platónico
Amor que não toca e sente, amor que não sente e arde
amor que não arde e queima, amor platónico...

Inner Depression (Syndromes Of Fear):
(MMI)
The resound of witches hammer, beating in my head
as mournful chants of tempestuousness, karma of one thousand deaths
Condemned souls a long time ago in an era of supplication,
offering me their measureless pain, wicked presences’ manifestation…
…I’m stained to enter into a dimension of terror,
from where I’ll never return!
The reinsist of evil, immemorial cold, pushing me to misanthropy until I get old
Schizophrenia embrace me now, the unbreakable link of madness
As satirical truth, dread emerge from the deep realms of sadness…
…I’m stained to enter into a dimension of terror
From where I’ll never return!
The syndrome of a living hell!!!...
The grim essence of oddity permanent in stillness
Am I a ghoul of these modern times, caller of an ancient boldness?
My wintry thoughts about existence put me aside of blinding loves
My delight is pure dislike toward God and all that rise above…
…I’m stained to enter into a dimension of terror,
from where I’ll never return!
The resound of witches hammer beating in my head!!!…

I.N.R.I. – Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum:
(MMVII)
At the pile of Golgotha, MM years ago
crucifixion as began, the sky turned red, windiness has blown
The descendant of the might, the chosen one
Jeshua Ben Joseph his name
Claimed the golden stairs to hell
the faith was lost and expectancy fell
A path to hell…
…The appearance and renewal of a story to tell
for generations…The messiah mesmerized alive and well…
…For generations… (Adage)
“Since the wages of sin is death.” (Romans 6:23)
Since all have sin and deposed are in the glory of God.“
(Romans 3:23)
“Since the wages of sin is death.”
Judas Iscariot his deceiver servant
committed treason for thirteen golden coins
Rancorous grief of the resigned jewish lords
that fear his means and sent him to the hands of romans
The tears of Maria, the pain of the apostles
the triumph of evil in a era of brutality
A legacy has begun with the death of the messenger
a lesson in time for the ones whom believe
(Adage)
”Impetuous breakers of the sea, that skim its own abominations;
Vagrant stars, for which is reserved the blackness of darkness.”
(Universal epistle of Judas – 13)
At the pile of Golgotha, MM years ago,
crucifixion has begun, the sky turned red, windiness has blown…
The tears of Maria, the pain of the apostles,
the triumph of evil in a era of brutality
a legacy has begun, with the death of the messenger,
a lesson in time for the ones whom believe
(Adage)
”(…) The dragon, the ancient serpent, that is the devil and Satan. (…)
I saw the dead, (…) and the dead were sentenced by what was written in the books.
(Apocalypse)

Thy Visionary:
(MMII)
Blackvisions of damnation I foresee
revealed into a mirror on the wall,
disaster and life’s scarcity
Starvation, Death, Pestilence and War.
These knights of the apocalypse
alleged the beginning of the end.
Slight are the escape alternatives
They’ve got the world depressed
between their hands.
Visions of final judgment now I see
psychanalytique syndrome of “fin de siècle“
the earth became a vast cemetery
a new third Reich, a great final battle.
On the air the aura of death
monstrous machines dominate the ground
poisoned clouds covered the sky
human race never again will be found.
”Arrived from a distant land
at the extremity of the heavens
the lord and the tools of his furore
to devastate the earth (…)
All those whom been found shall die
pierced by the sword
their sons will be massacred,
before their eyes
the women raped, the houses will be sacked (…)
Those whom run away from the terror
will fall into a pit
and the one whom escape the pit,
shall be tied up in a bow.
The highest floodgates will open
and the groundwork’s on the earth shall collapse…”
(Isaiah 13:5, 9 & 20)
…We shall collapse!
Feel the mayhem’s influence…
Abominable’s what I see
The Armageddon raw and naked
After a last genocide’s passage
All shapes are now forgotten.
Clouds of dust, raining fire,
overexcited “Dies irae“
these are the final days for mankind
something we shan’t delay.
I am thy visionary…
