2.	Carved in Stone 05:03	lyrics	buy track
Fallen over all the things I’ve lost Slipping through them, while I’m staying aside Deaf and broken, like a stone you’re cooling And your bones will lie, The eyes are blinded by this cry. ‘Cause you’re drowning by the light you hide inside And it chokes me along this ray Got framed in there, among its veins. Why does your wrath disown the heaven? Why does your mind elude the stars? Oh, fallen down from wherever And our time is over, I still feel tied To the cruellest greed ever: Feeding your scars. Frightened and coward, has the threat just gone? No, it’s near me and the sweat is running down my back. I crawl on my sins where these walls are closing in While all gods break their own vow to be proud. Why does your wrath disown the heaven? Why does your mind elude the stars? Oh, I’ll come there to surrender Not to pretend I’m rising up, but leave me here alone. Why does your wrath disown the heaven? Why does your mind illude the stars? Oh, I’ll come there to surrender Not to pretend I’m rising up, but leave me here alone. Just leave me alone.

(What is hunting you?) She gives strength to your battered body. And now turn the page of your book please. Can you see your melted face?
4.	Regret 09:43	lyrics	buy track
The nights are looking forward to falling on your lips While you try to hide these faces from you, from me. You embrace our sweetest madness as a trophy for your tears, But this frayed mind sees you have become A deaf soul that’s decaying, a dull flame in the sea. See real anger and ashes under carpets of your life From numbness to self-denial what did you hope to find? You can barely define that graveyard in my eyes But this frayed mind will mean your death A deaf soul that’s decaying, a dull flame in the sea. Fall deep inside your dreams, tearing the light from side to side. Fall! The empty smile of those tears Ripping our life, it perceives your mind decaying Regret… ‘’Watch him he is so fragile I see his tired eyes turn off in front of the light. Look at him walking in this limbo I see his tired hands trembling in front of his dreams’’ The mirror feels all scars reversed on your chest And dig the wounds in our memories. It’s hard, too hard. You take my sinless coldness as a trophy for your faults. Yet this frayed mind sees you have become A deaf soul that’s decaying, a dull flame in the sea. Fall deep inside your screams, tearing the light from side to side. Fall! The empty smile of those fears Ripping our life, it perceives your mind decaying. Regret…

6.	The Body (What Is Tearing Your Mind Apart) 02:33	lyrics	buy track
Is this the night that suppresses your life? I'll be colder And while you are dying there's confusion in your mind Will we burn in hell? Oh dummy you are falling downlike a human waste Like the infected springs you are crying, [L maiuscola] crying in the mud. Dying in the madness… And while they are lying there is illusion in our mind. So we'll fade away Oh dummy you are falling down like a human waste Like a perfect stranger you are crying, crying in the mud. Dying in the madness…
7.	Oblivion 20:24	lyrics	buy track
Should I curse your name? My faith is writhing there. I've been haunted ever since, Have you just turned me into stone? Which of your hollow faces I'm still gazing at? If I touched one of them, Would you please disguise my deep and harshest dread? Till frost pierces the flame Will you hear them screaming in pain? While I'm trying to stay awake The bad blood and fear have grown So you can feel the rage In the same way I shout your name In this tangle of rough sand Would you please disguise my bloody and trivial death? Escape from the maze When they'll call your name Standing in the silence I'm holding my breath And now I am certain there is nothing left You know the flame is dying [ No one can sense my end And clouds stop the wind In hourglasses of time So I keep my fears from getting bored, old and low But the mirror sees me I'm getting cold, cold as stone.

about

The inspirational figure of this album is Medusa, the snake-haired Gorgon who can turn to stone those who gaze at her. There are three questions (implicitly referring to the three Gorgons) to each of which the following track answers. Here Medusa represents the feeling of getting stuck in something that hurts or scares, the inability to overcome what keeps us still and emotionally numb, cold. According to an ancient version of the Greek myth, Medusa embodies the most terrible form of fear, clouding the mind and obscuring the view. That's why she was also known as "Oblivion", the supreme fright that would petrify those who surrender to their own pain and fatalism. But remember that Medusa is the only Gorgon, between the three, who is mortal and then vulnerable: this means that if you can face your inner monsters (what has sentenced your choices, what is haunting you and what is tearing you apart), you'll be able to kill her. Or at least to forgive her.
