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

“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!

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!”

“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!”

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!

“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!

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!

STANDARD version comes with the song "I AM NOT DEAD BUT DREAMING” divided in SEVEN movements to be appreciated individually
(for commercial purposes)
...
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.
