As Trevas regressam em força...

Após uma conversa a semana passada, decidi escrever o meu blog em português, pois um facto é que quem o for ler provavelmente é Português, logo não faz sentido escrever em inglês... por outro lado, writing in english is good for me to practice it. Bem... agora isso tambem não interessa; escreverei como me der na telha, portanto: Fuck it!

E eis uma letra maravilhosa... espero que apreciem...

Tender trip on Earth

Another day - The next page
Still in daze - Still in a dream
Out of the pipe - My lust for life
Comes and goes
From above
Demanding purity - Sobriety
Cursing me like a sledge
Hammering down at me

Out of the waterpipe
I suck my lust for life
And all my floating dreams

It seems
Up on the gallery
God shouting down at me
Something I can not hear

Tears falling from the sky
Words from a lullaby
Everything beautiful dies
For now, we're hanging in
Though we are blessed with sin
You make my tired heart sing

You can be a sunbeam
And shine for a while
For a while
You can laugh a lot
And bring out that smile

For now we're hanging in
Even though we're blessed with sin
You make my heart …
You make my tired heart sing

Tears falling from the sky …

I'm on a tender trip
Slowly I'm losing grip
Madness is in the air I fear
Stay, you're my acid-queen
Stay on my faded team
Run through the corridor with me

Tristania - World of Glass

Esta é para alguém que não se sabe amada, mas por demasiada gente o é...
You make my tired heart sing...

As Trevas tristemente se dissolvem numa amalgama de sentimentos frustrados e começam a decair... ... ... ... .. .. . . . . .

Cold Beer! Argh Argh!!!

About cold beer one can only say that it is quite good... But what I wanted to say was that geting drunk is one of the strangest things in the world of bohemian life... when you wake up with a terrible hang over you say you will never drink again. Well... That will probbaly not be true. After a short time (maybe 2 or 3 days you wont have any problem asking for another beer, or the strongest shot you can remember...

Well... lets talk about something else... let me see... ... ...

Oh! Computer stores are terrible when it comes to get something you want... I ordered a computer game in a store here in Tomar... well actualy it was even worst. I ordered the same game in two stores, and none of them could get it, anmd the oddest part is that it is a best seller game (World of Warcraft)... I´m quite disapointed because these are the only two stores here in Tomar that sell computer games. I dont even know why i wrote this... maybe because i haven´t many things to say today...

And now some good music from the early 90´s from the Doom and Gothic cene:

Paradise Lost - Shades of God
My Dying Bride - The Angel and the Dark River
Celestial Season - Solar Lovers
Amorphis - Tales From the Thousand Lakes
Crematory - Ilusions

And I finish with another great lyric:


As I Die

As I die

Stare as eyes uphold me
And wait to see right through
And curse me - The love has crippled you

Shadows haunt the night
Burning my disguise

Reaping through the truth
Life becomes untrue

Sin the last diversion
My fate will be untouched
Dismissed now, the anger of a fool

Shadows haunt the night
Forgive me as I die

Taking a chance
And take what you gain
My soul is has no price
Total release is out of harms way
Until I can decide
You punish me, can't you see, I'm not real
Tears are flowing free, passing by, as I die

Paradise Lost - Shades of God


Darkness Out...

Return of the Dark One...

So here I am again, to a new dark entry to my fantabulous blog...
After all there was no photo session this sunday... unfortunatly we can´t get all we want.

The Ashes gig, this weekend has been canceled, and it will probbaly happen next week... lets wait and see.

Hopefuly this weekend my band will rehearse again and try to continue our first music...

Today I recomend:

• Nightwish - Once
• Borknagar - Quintessence
• Mayhem - Grand Declaration of War
• Lord of the Rings - The Return of The King OST
• Primordial - A Journey´s End

As I have nothing else to say, I leave you with another great lyric:


Nemo
This is me for forever
One of the lost ones
The one without a name
Without an honest heart as compass

This is me for forever
One without a name
These lines the last endeavor
To find the missing lifeline

Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
All I wish is to dream again
My loving heart
Lost in the dark
For hope I`d give my everything
Oh how I wish
For soothing rain
Oh how I wish to dream again
Once and for allAnd all for once
Nemo my name forevermore

My flower, withered between
The pages 2 and 3
The once and forever bloom gone with my sins

Walk the dark path
Sleep with angels
Call the past for help
Touch me with your love
And reveal to me my true name

Oh, how I wish...

Nemo sailing home
Nemo letting go

Oh, how i wish...

Nightwish - Once

Darkness is Leaving

...back to Darkness (Again)

Today i failed a Photo contest, because I was stupidly lazy, but in the end i redemed myself, by helping my good friend Paula in the same contest. Never again shal this hapen to me... at least i hope so. After this I realy know that i want to make Photography my life, alongside with my hobbies (music, painting, writing,etc...).

This will be one of the few times i´l ever speak of my personal life in this blog. So, voyeurs I hope you all enjoy it...

Tonight i´ll take some night pictures on some abandoned site here in Tomar, probaly in the abandoned mill or the sewing factory... i still dont know. When they are taken i´ll publish them on this blog so you can enjoy them...

It was writen by a 20 year old guy, and its amazing...

Oh... By the way... did you know the pope is dead?
Ok... I know this was unnecessary... but fuck it...

I´leave you with another good lyric...

Travel

Melodic stanzas
are symphonizing their way
through your weary head

To feed your distrust
And fill its mouth with the desire
to soulfully be one with your creation

Not a subject to control
you call upon a higer power
for help and inspiration

The crowd waits
and turns their faces
towards you expectantly
you give them what they need
But their useless criticism
makes you die
a bit more inside

Not a subject to control
you call upon a higer power
for help and inspiration

Oh, I swoon
while loudspeakers play soft music

Leaning
over your fourtieth masterpiece
You must have loved
the colour of these violins

I wish I knew you
Your fit of insanity makes me sad

I wish you knew
your music was to stay forever
And I hope...

I have no clue
if you know how much it matters
And i hope...

The Gathering - How to Measure a Planet


Darkness is leaving

And today i begin to write my blog. I hope everyone who dares to enter this site enjoys what i write, though i believe that i am the only intrested person. So let us begin with the darkness...

Here I am at home writing in my my good old computer listening to the great album "The focusing Blur" by the gentleman Vintersorg... I strongly recomend everyone to listen to it... as i was saying here i am writing at my computer, only to let everyone know that just yesterday i began my new metal band... After a 3 hour rearsal, we had made some glorious riffs and in the end we had our first 1:30min of great music. For now it will only be myself on the Keyboards, Ricardo on the Bass and Caldeira on the Guitars. Hopefuly i will have something to show you on the next 2 or 3 months... but lets not strive... I also hope we decide for a name meanwile.

And now for something Completly different:

You should listen to these:

• Arcturus - La Masquerade Infernale
• Emperor - Prometheus, the disciplin of fire and demise
• Vintersorg - The Focusing Blur
• Epica - Consign To Oblivion
• Enslaved - Isa

You should read these:

• The Silmarilion - J.R.R. Tolkien
• Antidoto - José Luis Peixoto
• Eragon - Christopher Paolini
• The Light Fantastic - Terry Prachet
• Songs from distant Earth - Arthur C. Clark

Curtains
The curtains never fall - they only rise
At the cosmic theatre,
standing ovations came at the 15 billion-mark"

Blurs and vague impressions aside -
the engineer, the director
had the galaxies disposed, and then exposed
for the explorers who never took an answer for an answer

A matter of time - not space
How far linearity has permitted us to see
Outwards means backwards in a universe so vast
Stretched in time, see it commence
- a set of celestial fragment
sat immeasurable expanses

How far a flicker can force itself
Through dimness, through fields of emission
The shine slowly turning red
A burgundy sense of distance

An overturned curtain call
- the velvety draperies eternally rising
into infinite blurs of timelessness
for an audience correctly dressed in
extravagant suits of flaming curiosity
The witnesses and surveyors of celestial enchantment

Hunted by distance and time
The curtain reluctantly withdraws
A prelude to the swirling drama:
creation - formation - design
or deduction - destruction - collapse
- all depending on the angle

Vintersorg
