*********** PART 1 – HORROR IN CLAY *********** (instrumental) *********** PART 2 – DREAMS OF A NAMELESS TIME *********** Rise! well-hidden from mankind The bliss of ignorance [in] the midst of endless oceans as a new dark age… Arrives! The cosmic cycle starts The glimpse of dreadful times The endless of a nightmare of forbidden eons… Crawls! Write! The dreams I can’t deny abducted all my nights about stranger cities yelling horror through their… Walls! The tremors from the ground The lore of ancient ones! The unhuman voice of chaos lacerates my broken… Mind! Chorus: The madness now surrounds me I can’t ignore the call The whisper of the sea The flap of monstruous wings Creating hurricanes that will conceive your wildest dreams Afraid I’m waiting Hallucinating an endless void in my mind The stars created [a] Miles-high awaken God for a nameless time *********** PART 3 – WORLDWIDE WOE (THE SUMMONING) *********** “Panic embraces the oneiric control The multiple cases throughout of the globe. Suicide nights, in visions, bizarre White robes in masse, look for crucify. Orgies of Voodoo all over the world The tribes once enslaved burns down all their lords Hysterical mobs, destroying it all And medics has lost the asylum control…” “Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh Wgah’nagl fhtagn – fhtagn...” … Delirium days as the earth reach the end while the sanity wrecks on the shores where the truth fails A world full of woe The days we lost hope A nameless being stealing our souls The dreams feel alive The screams will arise as [if] hell would ascend to the sky! *********** PART 4 – THE ICE AND MIRE RITUAL *********** Awe! Older matters were involved to decode the primal source And the reasons behind we see the world is ending as we… Know! At the century’s new dawn when the horror had begun In the back of the vision of the science lies this ancient… Stone! I remember the time and the feel of my blood freezing over the peak In the land of the untamed in dead tongues the tribe summoning: Chorus: “Drowned in the void of the sea… Cannibal rites to see, Degenerate deeds of sin …I am not dead but I dream!” Worship and evil chants The bleak of the mire Voodoo sacrifice The witches of lands beneath the ice! … Cries! Feeding up the devil-fire [with] the bones of a missing child In the forest resounds the beat of drums they play for ancient... Times! Through the paths of rotten swamp Hordes immersed in frantic dance Into bringing the earth again beneath the sway of Great Old… Ones! It was nightmare itself what we see But the kind one that make you daydream Neither poetry or madness could help to describe all their sing: Chorus: “Drowned in the void of the sea… Cannibal rites to see, Degenerate deeds of sin …I am not dead but I dream!” Worship and evil chants The bleak of the mire Voodoo sacrifice The witches of lands beneath the ice! … “That is not dead which can eternal lie! With aeons, strange, even the death may die!” *********** PART 5 – THE MADNESS FROM THE SEA *********** “It talked to me every night in my dreams, The damp cyclopean place in green” … “Between the corpses of their fellow men, begins the sole survivor’s tale” Derelict in mystery Bringing madness from the sea Monster waves Monster men Gone away We sail towards the end… Chorus: There is no mind enough to shape you… as fear ascends There are no words enough to trace you... Therein combined all my nightmares A monolith-crowned citadel of darkness Emerging from the waters of a cosmic gate The end is here to then begin again! … It’s cold… everything is cold… Just a hand on the trap-door [and] the vastness of the universe will stop Not a single sound from the seagulls… Only silence came from the shores… While the firmament keeps dimming, the impending death keeps crawling in through the bones “And then something comes… And everything is lost!” *********** PART 6 – THE SPAWN OF THE STARS *********** Rise! – from the depths of the darkness is ravening full of… Delight! Vigintillions of years after – is loose again! Indefinable! Indescribable! Irredeemable! Inconceivable! The spawn of the stars… The one that will make all the oceans and skies die Tonight! Tonight We open the gate for the end of mankind Tonight Despite all my fear I’m not ready to die! I’m facing the doom the crash, I embrace! A stench of a thousand open graves From [the] pit to the moon From [the] moon back again The dark will remain in my head Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! *********** PART 7 – UPON THE HORROR OF UNIVERSE *********** “I shall go… I know too much and my sanity is lost. I have looked upon the universe and I know all the horror it has to hold. And even the skies of spring, and the flowers of summer will be poison for all tomorrows to be told… And the cult still lives... In that chasm of stone shielded since the sun was young. A city is sunken once more, but his ministers on earth [are] still bellow… Trapped by the black abyss Waiting to, in screaming with fright and frenzy, finally drowning the world… HE Lives… Who knows the end? What has risen may sink, and what has sunk… may rise. Loathsomeness waits and dreams in the deep and decay, spreads over the tottering cities of mankind…” Ia! Ia … Fhtagn… ... IA! IA! … FHTAGN!

Intro: Created by the same Essence of the rest But all your gifts inherited my fate You took the best you have Spawned all you are In me, your angel, your whole state of art Your Creation's crown Your wildest dream on mind That all your work one day I shall command I could feel youy pride But also, a simple glimpse of fear I’ll realize I'm larger than your paradise... ...And that I could make it BURN! Enough should be my light But fear increased in your heart And in a leisure time You bring the vilest to your side! Parasite forms of life Aware of what they cannot match Their narrowed minds decided: "Tonight, the brightest star shall fall" Chorus: I - don't gonna listen anymore The shallow words you try to make it yours Vultures encased in the purest clothes Beside you calling themselves… Spiritus! Spiritus! Why I have to pretend even the graceless worth the same? What else from them can I expect? But why you have to back up them Oh, father how could you betray to me, the best part of yourself? Where is your wisdom where's your love? I curse you all in ancient tongues! Chorus: I - don't gonna listen anymore The shallow words you try to make it yours Vultures encased in the purest clothes Worthless to be… Above! Above! Sadistic voyeurism Your wish for bondage me Rather to be the King of Chaos… Spiritus! Spiritus! … "Sanctus Angelus Vulturus Spiritus Spiritus" "Sanctus Angelus Vulturus Spiritus Spiritus" Chorus: I - don't gonna listen anymore The shallow words you try to make it yours Vultures encased in the purest clothes Worthless to be… Above! Above! Sadistic voyeurism Your wish for bondage me Rather to be the King of Chaos… Below! Below! Break yokes and bonds; I SHALL NOT SERVE! Your life will never be the same I will return one day to blast your poisoned… Spiritus, Spiritus…

Tonight, we're burning down the skies in deny, built for the blind Maybe that will not be enough to wake up Useless mankind, slaved in dark Cannot all the air that they stole justify So little Man, so little mind Acting like a mouse in the kingdom of swine Down in your knees, trembling in fear You know well the filth but you still swallow it Ending is the era of the narrow worthless souls… Oh! Worthless souls! Temples, towers, palace falls, a new dawn has begun… No! No! No! No! Never say no, meaningless hordes You had built yourself your existence of woe Comfort enough, drowned in sloth Let my act of mercy redeem what you've done The veil is torn, now can behold But you rip your eyes off in front of your spawn You let them spread, blood everywhere But the mirror shows you the one to be blame Ending is the era of the narrow worthless souls Temples, towers, palace falls, a new dawn has begun Chorus: Deafening requiem for a land to purify Down to the world, through the flames! Your hollow life may just the final sacrifice Down to the world, through the flames! An evolution miracle has been in vain Down to the world, through the flames! All Hope is gone so burn it all and start again Down to the world, through the flames! … FLAMES! FLAMES! Nothing more but FLAMES! FLAMES! FLAMES! Nothing else REMAINS!

Night… The sky gathers the mourning clouds Caress of velvet purest... White! So many times [I’ve] been there Challenge the moon with the pale of my face No breathing, no more sense, begging this night only silence remains I'm still here! In darkness stabbed in betray Raw beating! Escaping from the end in tears I... Rise! Chorus: I start to feel, begins to crawl Rise! - Are you talking to me, or am I thinking too loud? Rise! - A scar in me for every night Rise! - While you whispering me: "Death it's a Lie" Again, the scent of roses fades And every room turns shades of grey But I'm walking again through the light of the cell With my nails turning velvet to red By the light of the storm, I will not be alone Make this legacy cast in stone! ... "And in the end, only one witness of the cold embrace remains. The hollow stare, the shallow condemns, The stars are coming down as the night descends!" The last of loves are coming down While the horizon shifts to mud The entire world towards the end Death never came... the fall of them!

about

EPIC version comes with the song "I AM NOT DEAD BUT DREAMING” as one single 24 minutes monumental song

(as it was conceptually and artistically intended to be conceived by Demon of the Fall)

...

Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s cult-status short story “THE CALL OF CTHULHU”, “I Am Not Dead but Dreaming” is the, deepest, darkest and most epic, complex, diverse, symphonic, choral and passional opus ever created by Demon of the Fall in 15 years of existence… this album is also a watershed in their career, a musical evolution packed with a myriad of influence and homages: from the incipient Melodeath and black from band’s early years, to the Progressive Heavy Metal DOTF practices today, forging an unique sound performed by their actual line-up.
