 Сингл, который был выпущен перед самым неоднозначным альбомом группы - Sin\Pecado. На этом сингл 11 трэков, из них 3 студийных записи, 1 клип, 7 песен записанных с концертов. Из студийных песен здесь представленны -Second Skin, Erotic Alchemy (Remix), Sacred. Первая песня будет на альбоме Sin\Pecado, по стилю это industrial\gothic, в песне присутствует скриминг, что для меня есть хорошо. Песня очень мелодичная, много всякой электроники. Тоже самое можно сказать о ремиксе Erotic Alchemy. Песня очень сильно изменилась, но узнать её всё-таки можно. Далее идёт кавер на песню группы Depeche Mode - Sacred. Мне эта песня показалась не интересной. Кстати, я думаю, кавером на Депеш Мод группа многих в своё время напугала, до сих пор их альбом Син\Пекадо называют гибридом Депеш Мод и Парадайз Лост, в принципе, не без оснований на это. Далее идёт клип на заглавную песню сингла, а потом записи с концертов. Сыграно всё хорошо, но к сожалению Фернандо иногда гроулит и скримингует не так хорошо как на альбомах. Особенно чётко это слушно на самой агрессивной песне группы - Alma Mater. В целом, сингл очень хорош, есть что послушать, самое главное - материал качественный. 8 за то что ни одной новой песни (кавер не в счёт). |

and all those citizens marked with an X-Sex.
Second skin
Tissue apart and right to the heart
teach me the wonders of your moral blade
so I can stand still while you have to kill
all that was yours before and now has to fade away
Draw me the fine line between religion and crime
You are one more son of God you can never be wrong
but aren't we all ?
As we sit and wait
for the serpent to bite our very own tail.
As I sit and wait
for the serpent to bite my very own tail.
Second skin
02.Erotic Alchemy (Per-Version)
Queen of all my sleepless nights
For whose beauty I, Faun
have played my pipes, with heart
Queen in white silk, skin like milk
Horns of Faun, lips of dawn
You are now honoured you with my presence
As I'm honoured by your sight
I crown your perfection
The predator in your breast, I devour
"Tempted is now my light body"
From where it burns spirals of exotic scents
Rose, sandal, jasmine, all kinds of incense
Aged fragrances only dreamed of once
Dragons do dream far beyond the sense
We make love in the dusty throne
of a Modern Sodoma
"Come to Me, step further into my nakedness
Caress me in your breasts of Fire"
"Breed my flame, have no fear or weakness
I welcome you in my hole of desire"
"Have me now, Prince, have me here"
Your beg still whispers in my ear
Daylight has broken into a strange nostalgia
Night tired candles seem like two lovers
Melt in a embrace of conspiracy
Between us there is this strange chemistry
but would you die for me?
would you die for what I've longed to be?
"Imperious, choleric, irascible,
extreme in everything,
with a dissolute imagination of the like
which has never been seen,
atheistic to the point of fanaticism,
there you have me in a nutshell
and kill me again or take me as I am,
for I shall not change."
(De Sade)
"Breed of a nameless force, origin of our Sin
We are as large as Gods, we are their tragedy
We are the four arms of the solar Cross
Lightning in incredulous faces the flames of Uthopy"
Would you die for this?
03.Sacred
(Originally performed by Depeche Mode)
Sacred
Holy
To put it in words
To write it down
That is walking on hallowed ground
But it's my duty
I'm a missionary
So here is my confession
It's an obsession
I'm a firm believer
And a warm receiver
And I've made my decision
This is religion
There's no doubt
I'm one of the devout
Trying to sell the story
Of love's eternal glory
Sacred
Holy
To put it in words
To write it down
That is walking on hallowed ground
But it's my duty
I'm a missionary
Spreading the news around the world
Taking the word to boys and girls
I'm a firm believer
And a warm receiver
And I will go down on my knees
When I see beauty
There's no doubt
I'm one of the devout
Trying to sell the story
Of love's eternal glory
Sacred
Holy
To put it in words
To write it down
That is walking on hallowed ground
But it's my duty
I'm a missionary
Sacred
Holy
To put it in words
To write it down
That is fucking on hallowed ground
04.Second Skin (Video-Edit)
Crawl me into your second skin
and teach me everything
Second skin
Through your eyes a voyeur
Through your veils of a visionaire
talk to me about those things
no other soul would care.
Outcast all the colours that I still have
Camouflage me so I can fall and stand
somewhere between an underrated angel
and all those citizens marked with an X-Sex.

05.Opium (live)
Opium, desire or will?
Inspiration bound from an elegant seed
Subversion, through smoke I foresee
Erotic motions of lesser gods in ectasy
Opium, bring me forth another dream
Spawn worlds of flesh and red,
little jewels of atrocity
Opium, I sleep in debauchery
And burn with you
when you burn in Me
Opium, we fantasize
as we fuse with your root
You are a strange flower,
we are your strangest fruit
Opium, it burns in me and you
Opium, it burns for me and for you
"Por isso eu tomo opio. E um remedio.
Sou um convalescente do Momento.
Moro no res do chao do Pensamento
E ver passar a vida faz-me tedio."
06.Awake (live)
Awake... for all is dying, even the dead
We are our Past failing to come back
All of us visionaires
with a rope around our neck
07.Herr Spiegelmann (live)
Look Me in the eyes and drown...
"Everyone considered the man in the blue jacket
as the most beautiful human being they have ever seen:
nuns saw on him the Messiah in flesh;
Satan's adorers the lustrous Prince of Darkness;
philosophers the Supreme Being;
young females an enchanted prince;
Men an ideal reflection of themselves."
Patrick Suskind: The Perfume ("Story Of An Assassin")
Look Me in the eyes and drown...
I am your vulture, your immoral sculpture
Mirrorman, who understands
I am you, I know you
Your fantasy and reality
I wait for you to welcome you in my dreamworld
My water-eyes
Look Me in the eyes
Touch me in the eyes and dream...
08.Of Dream And Drama (Midnight Ride) (live)
You've no mother to feed you
or to lick your so deep wounds
nor Earth where to lay your timid crown
You've suffered by your father
and even the Moon lies to you
When she shines...
The seduction of an altar
Is a weakness in her movements of Death
It is a mere vanity of Woman
to delay her midnight ride
Suicide... Midnight ride...
Beautiful dagger you may now leave your case
Wild red tears at the lady's hand
Kissed were her breasts with your sharpened face
Given is now what Love had taken
death and Love, they together danced
Yes, the flames did smile to her
Invited her to their fiery peace
To a funebre dance around a bonfire
Where all Women are naked and alone
Immolating their pride
May they forever ride. Far, in a midnight crime.
Midnight Ride, Suicide, Midnight Ride...
09.Ruin & Misery (live)
In each of your failures
I saw my victory
And each time you fall
A knife tattoos a smile
On my lips
You are now empty of life
And we are drunk with death
Raw models
Ruin & Misery
I can offer you a hand
To help you hold the dagger
A perfect jewel for
Our perfect end
And as we lay, we kissed
Fingers wet with poison
Thinking to each one
There is beauty in death
Raw models
Ruin & Misery
Allow me to doubt
We were lovers who could really share
The only love between us
Was hate
Without hope we could not fear
And silently we disappeared
Hand in hand, we took our lives
And together stopped being
Raw models on a novel of Ruin & Misery
10.Mephisto (live)
As madmen, some hung head down
From a long dead tree
Some discuss, all at once
For no one to hear
Variations on emptiness
Great themes on vain glory
And as some go feral in strange performances
Dressing customs that are metaphors
Of your disease
Hungry eyes are looking for Me...Mephisto
Laughing, I feed you
With meaningless games, tricks and philosophies
Whose answers you would die for
In your hunger to believe
How it does amuse Me
And makes Me wonder
For how long that it was Mine
Because now it does really inflame Me
As if ignorance was my secret desire...Mephisto
I am an angel who dresses in red
Riding above you, etching fire rings
I have learned to fly
Don't you remember?
While you still have not come down
From your long-dead tree
I can teach you wonders if you give me your soul
Marvels and wild dreams can be yours
I can teach you how iron turns to gold
And how life can grow so old
But I am a demon who dresses in red
And I do not hope you will understand...Mephisto
11.Alma Mater (live)
Mother Tongue speaks to Me
In the strongest way I've ever seen
I know that she sees in Me
Her proudest child, her purest breed
She speaks to Me in colours
That I can't really understand
I only know that they are ours
And to those I'll proudly bend
For I am your only child
And you my dearest mystery
From an ancient throne I defy the world
To kneel before the Power within.
For I am your only child
And you my dearest mystery
World can't you see it?
Am I alone in my belief?
Virando costas ao Mundo
Orgulhosamente sos
Gloria Antiga, volta a nos!
ALMA MATER!
Breaking waves announce my Bride
It is the only way the Sea could sing
Legends of Lusitanian pride
He sings the words I cannot spring
At the Moon Mountain six wolves cry
Your lost glory we'll regain or die
For I am her only child
And she is my dearest mystery
Pagan Gods in conspiracy
For the sword of Tyranny
Mother Tongue has spoke to thee
In the strongest way they've ever seen
World can't you see ?
I am not alone in my belief.
ALMA MATER!
Virando costas ao Mundo
Orgulhosamente sos
Gloria Antiga, volta a nos!
ALMA MATER!
Mother Tongue has spoke to Me
In the strongest way I've ever seen
I know that she sees in Me
Her proudest child, her purest breed
She speaks to Me in colours
I can't really understand
I only know that they are ours
and to those I'll proudly bend
For I am her only child
And she is my dearest mystery
From an ancient throne I defy the world
To kneel before the powers within.
For I am her only child
And she is my dearest tragedy
World can't you see it?
I am not alone in my belief.
Virando costas ao Mundo
Orgulhosamente sos
ALMA MATER!
