  • Blacken The Angel - lim. Picture 12" vinyl (first pressing, 1998)
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    I've discovered another picture LP of Blacken The Angel, vinyl was never played/mint, but cardboard sleeve does show the mark of time (carried to several gigs and then forgotten in a box, no scratches though...). Didn't think we had some left, but... here you go. For the die-hard fan that ultimately would either complete their collection or that wants to support us, not some weird guy on discogs. (We know we're asking for a tough price here, but I would like to avoid seeing this 2 weeks later on eBay. Plus you'll probably not find another copy of this 25-year old LP that still wasn't played at least once yet..)

Viata Dormiteaza Germinind Si-O Simt In Jur Universala Intr-o Nesfirsita Oboseala Si-n Absenta Ultimului Cind Iar Taina Aerului Otravit Intr-un Inceput De-nnoptare Alacelui Orizont Nemarginit Adoarme Fara Desteptare My ruined world's denying the earthly time Drained of all emotions... Immortality: be now mine! My ruined dreams - remains of tortured years Who will be left to wipe away my bitter tears? Words of sorrow... sail, Travelling on cold winds Words of tranquility... fail, Dancing on my wounded lips I'm dying mostly alone within life's thin disguise And I can't tame the blood And the heart THEY have baptized The scars burn deeply into my soul My smile has lost its brilliance My words become so trivial... Loosing all desire, loosing all, but pride. ..Caci demult, aici, la marginea vietii Sub lumina siderala, nu mai traiesc in timp ... Iar calendarul a reintrat in forma lui astrala "Te vad, Te aud, te cuget, Tinara si dulce veste, dintr-un cer cu-alte stele cu alte vise si alti zei" ..Pe drumuri delirind, pe-o vreme de toamna Ma urmareste-un Gind, Ce ma-ndeamna: "Dispari cit mai curind!" ..Caci visu-mi mu-i un dis pamintesc! My ruined world's grasping for a mystic thought Though the soul's already tired of search My ruined dreams - Out of reach And the hopeless soul keeps on waiting, For whom? But who's to know?

Trei cruci de lemn, trei cruci enorme de lemn Vopsite cu trei culori, pãzesc pe marginea soselei Fîntîna celor... crediciosi! Trei cruci pe marginea soselei cu gesturi largi de mîini bolnave Opresc din drum pe cãlãtori si parcã-s trei spînzurãtori De care atîrnã trei crisosi... Într-o zi împinsi de-acelasi funerar îndemn Ca dou-armate puse una-n fata alteia Cumintii se-ntîlnirã cu nebunii Copiii mortilor de mîine se-ntîlnirã cu pãrintii... “Si-armatele-ncepurã lupta la umbra crucilor de lemn Deoparte flutura stindardul credintei... alb... curat...” ...ca albul cel curat, al florilor de nufãr Iar tricolorul nebuniei, închis cu grijã-n cîte-in cufãr De craniu omenesc... Sta gata sã se desfãsoare la cea dintîi îngenuncheare A albului domnesc... Însã-n ziu-aceea cerul înnegrit de fum pãrea Un tavan de catedralã ce se nãruia “Iar fumul din clopotnitele-aprinse deschidea-n albastrul:” Drumul altui fum, mai greu, mai negru si-albastrul se-nnegrea... Si-n ziu-aceea cerul înnegrit de fum pãrea Un tavan de catedralã ce se nãruia Si multimea-nspãimîntatã, spre clopotnitele-aprinse Se-ndrumeazã grupuri, grupuri, cei cuminti privesc plîngînd Plîng ca resturile unei armate-nvinse, iar nebunul stã deoparte Si zîmbeste ... fredonînd: BLASFEMIE !!! “Iar tricolorul nebuniei adãpostea pe-nvingãtori!”

Near Dark 15:37
Part One: This is a world blessed by the victims of carnal tragedy The humans ritual of love and adoration dense-waven history Sentiments decide existance, the artwork that I've bled Bizarre she defined her presence With the lament of the undead When her eyes have bathed in danger And the moon had new design In the cradle of our desire all the blood has turned to wine But the love no longer remained than just a stir to survive In this labyrinth of perfidity for my mistress to recover I'll forever strive... Part Two: Dem Sterbenden - die Hoffnung, dem Propheten - der Fluch Der Liebe - die Dichtung, die dem Sterben entsprung... The night is crystal clear - words are sent from pictures Sounds that I can't hear - as weakness wins my body Selling cheap my soul - and its bleeding heart Eclipsing the whole - planet, history and light... Part Three: Sometimes, when the sun hides in the back of the earth When the hungry souls, to whom pain gave birth Embalm their coldness with the blood's warmth... then I can clearly hear the calling of a lonely and distant star In the shade of the abhorrent Yet in the still of the nights - In the still of the moment When the moment dies - There she gently approaches With the new meaning of life... In a haze of hazard, in the withering chill Baleful's the passion, when hearts stand still A flood of sentiments entwined - Rattle thru my falling soul I slumber against the spirit of time Like a stranger in a foreign world! In a park, along the alleys, stained with blood and tears In the hour, when dusk disperses Its colors on the white statues Then I'll wander as a phantom of the posthumous regrets And my fiery lips I'll freeze With the kiss of these unrivalled statues "Si-n asta noapte sfirsese printr-un sarut Poeme - agonizate de-un infinit si-un inceput" Part Four: "The all-engulfing dawn of habitude shows his claws again- Do you still remember our oath? - Til light do us part!?" Come forth, Feline - Mere moment of melancholy Drink deep of my desire - The quenchless fire That unites our tameless embers... Come forth, Feline - Tortured by our final duet Let thy pale fingers slide on the petals of the flowers That thee stained with mortal, coagulated blood... On the walls, midnight closes even the stoical eyes Of the unsleeping portraits And the white-eye of a lonely candle falls asleep Into its own startling solitude... Part Five: Silent heart desires The balm that drives away the human waste Oh come, infidel duchess Shrouds of frost fall furiusly down... of thee I taste again Deciphering eternity of its ruined scripts Of the tenebrious river I pleasantly sip Upon lifeless leaves autumn has banished Arises my lovelorn aura's odyssey "Un ornic cu rostiri funebre, suna amiaza-ndirjit Iar ceru-nprastia tenebre, peste parcul amortit" ..Returned into that park as a whole Under the questioning eyes of stars and heavens Dreaming away on the lost love I've recovered Death suddenly rises - Annoyed that he couldn't save me He turns pale from envy The seasons vanish and so does this story As the same poets hand raises the pen He pictured this spectacle with... The actors fade on the dreary alleys of that elder park Only two nightshades remaining - Celebrating the sunset of ages while their sullen laughter Lustfully haunts the mortal seeds of ruin... Nights were crystal clear - words were sent from pictures The color have seared - these pages, whereas The darkest hour revealed - the mysterious hand Which dutifully sealed This episode's arcane end.

Come to my bossom, at night I'd like to tuck you in To show you my devotion I'd live your fright I wanna be the infamy - I wanna wound your caprice I need to try your malice - My dark, poetic extasy I'd like to lick your beauty I'd wish to scar your sweetened wounds To reap your rotten fruits Your loving gotta suit me Oh, let me be the one - Who will sets you free See how love unveils her - Incomparable mystery I wanna feel your hungry skin I wanna touch the sacrificed To make you the holy praised Whore... of my radiant sin I wanna see you sacrificed I wanna be your wet skin To share with you the greatest sin My angelic, capricious whore! I'd wish to ruin death and violate... life Together stay on a heavenly day My dark, sinister angel How sweet it must have been To be your hungry, velvet skin To both rejoice in thrilling dream I need your loving as I need to be Did we see our other face How it'd ghastly fall from grace Well, I was the dead you played with And you... the angel I raped "Darling, you used to suck dry my creed Spit out my seed... I used to play and win I adored you struggling, idolized your everything But honey, guess, I've always been... Loving you..."

Ach Nacht, wie lieb du mir wärest Wenn du die Sterne auslöschen würdest Ihre Strahlen murmeln unbekannte Gesänge... Und ich wünsche mir alles Düstere und Stumme Alles Entblößte und Verschwommene All das Finstere liebend - Meine Aura verängstigte Als ein blinder Gedanke knabberte an Raum und Zeit Oh Seele, wanderndes Gebein, meinen Frieden du erbittest Ich lege mich nieder, erfrischendes Dunkel Von schweren Todesträumen durchdrungen Und wickle mich in deinen Schleier Mit meinen Gedanken trotze ich allem, was Sie Gott nennen Ach, du Mörder der Kunst, du falsche Lebensweisheit Aus meinem atheistischen Glauben wirst Du gewiß sie nimmer rauben Die entweihte Krone meiner wahren Unsterblichkeit Ach Nacht, wie lieb du mir wärest Wenn die Sterne du auslöschen würdest Der Tumult der Existenz... fragwürdig, ungewöhnlich edel Dein Schatten murmelt unbekannte Gesänge Endlich, Nacht... steck deine schwarze Flagge in meinen stummen Schädel In deinem teuflischen Blick - ein düsteres Paradies Von tiefer, eingeschlafener Dunkelheit Oh göttliche Vorstellung, die ich oft pries Verstummter Jammer eines sanften Lächelns Meine Seele geht verloren im nostalgischen Inferno Visionen des Todes - meiner Selbstverschwendung Die Nacht wacht über die Ikone der Geburt im Chaos Ich wußte nichts von ihrer Existenz Nichts, bis sie mich anlächelte Ach Nacht, wie lieb du mir wärest Mit deinem milden Weinen Wenn Sterne die bittere Vergiftung auslöschen würden Welche dieses abstrakte Leben in mich hineinpumpt Wie der erste Schmerz, jedoch trist und still Ist der Leichnam, der sich aus meinem Inneren davonschleicht Hinein in die Nacht des Unwesens...

Cînd lumea se preschimba-ntr-o umeda-nchisoare În care-n van speranta, biet liliac se zbate Lovindu-se de ziduri, cu-aripi sovattoare Si dînd mereu cu capu'-n tavanele surpate Deodata, mînioase, prind clopote sa sara Si catre cer urla-ngrozitoare Lungi si nesfîrsite convoaie mortuare Încet si fara muzici prin suflet tree mereu... M-ati sfintit cu roua suferintii Si mi-ati pus venin în sînge Iar speranta-nvinsa plînge Ca sufletul meu Si muta-i gura-dulce a altor vremi Cind timpul creste-n urma mea Iar eu ma-ntunec! E-o ora grea si mare Aripile-mi negre în ceruri se-ntind Astfel lume amuteste la-ntunecari solare Astfel mare amuteste vulcane cînd s-aprind... Cînd prin a vietii visuri ostiri de nori apar A mortii umbra slaba cu coasa si topor Taceti! cumtac în spaima, crestinii din poper Cînd evul asfinteste si dumnezeii mor! Se mistuie-n moarte si durere Vapaia care-n mine a stralucit Ciudata întristare ce creste ca sie marea Pe-un tarm stincos, pustiu... Peste flacari, peste fumuri, pe cadavre descarnate Pe cîmpii deserte, pe altare profanate Vino, s-asezi pe ele tronul tau de oseminte Înalta-te în culinea fumegîndelor morminte! Caci eu nu ma las înrobit de tine, Crestine!

When dusk is the most solemn When clouds do shine bright Melancholic them I sight And remain with a mournful eye Sadly staying, is it maybe My verse that weeps so mild Like a storm on oceans far A sign of a sooner death? With autumn approaching Could I be the leaf carried by winds And finally falling down Already being forgotten? When dusk breeds utnist When clouds do shine bright Melancholic them I sight My eyes bitterness host When dusk is the most solemn Oceans mirror in the moonlore Splenetic and lonely shore My heart sad anthems hosts

After Dark 04:26
Alone with my shadows I've come To sing the twilight's hymn every time A new day dawns onto a place most desirable Grateful disembodiment .. to pierce some holes into our horizon of perception which new imaginations could penetrate thru... Our dreams will shine like thunder On a senseless rainy day Wrapped in the dank breathing Of both nature and man The stars look all too near The senses lie so far But it's not the way we fear It's more the thing we are The stars look all too near The seasons, oh, so dark It's not the way we fear It's more the way we are Didn't pain prove life With its reasons all hallowed Didn't fight prove darkness With its shadows eclipsed? ..und die Maschine der Welt kehrt zurück... Auspressend den Lebenssaft aus meinen Knochen Bin erneut Vergangenheit, ohne Herz, trist und kalt Die tote Zeit legt ihren kalten Körper auf meine feuchte Haut ..und wird zur Ewigkeit... Didn't pain prove life With its reasons all hallowed Didn't light prove darkness With its shadows eclipsed Alone with my shadow I'm gone Still I hear the twilight's hymn everytime Life continues its sculptures Like poetry without rhyme!

Random raining, ribbons of melancholy The moment dies right here, before me Grey horizons tarred to my days The curtain fell, still the solitary plays Dance with me, me dear The dance of those, who'll never return Bleeding traces left behind, for the living Hear life forging with death It's a gorgeous storm unfurling I've awaited for so long Now you taste like honey, dear, on my rigid tongue It's soothing as you delve Into my crescent agony Your lips of tragedy licking my requiem I am betrayed by your kiss... "Would you bleed for me again, For I adore its pounding On your fetid, lifeless shell, it becomes like satin No love existing, oh, my darling, see I am the architect of this bitter-sweet abstract" A key, a door, a vision, remnants of a dream Corridor of conclusions thru wide ribbons seen Like a statue starring with the same cold eyes Honey, kill me again, for know now what I am Lay down with me, my dear Listen to this requiem, You always loved to hear Through you knew the words You did sing them wrong Blood began to clog Still in the rain, Some things can't be remembered And some are harder to forget...
