Concept:
In a high-mountain forest, a puny light flickers through the window of a fragile wooden cabin. This is where the Somnambulist lives, in the wake of a personal tragedy that struck many years ago?the loss of his beloved.

Despite the passing years, the wound remains gaping, and the spirit of the deceased returns to haunt him, awakening his guilt for not having been able to save her in time. He tries to mask his visions by leading a life of solitude, but the nightmare of the day he found her lifeless on the ground relentlessly torments his nights.

Step into the Somnambulist''s tale, a soul divided between past and present, sleep and wakefulness, imagination and reality. Will you uncover his secret?


Lyrics:
Inner terror spreads its tentacles
In the mirror, the maiden struggles
Wrath and madness seize her body
Portraits spinning, feeling dizzy

Petrified gaze
Contorts her face
(Viciously, the curse is recurring)
(Drifting into that downward spiral)

The devil stole my prized chimera
Drowned in horror, shards lie scattered
Haunted by her ghost in limbo

I''ll find a way to go back in time
Over and over again
Still, by the grave,
Pleading for mercy, eternally

Untold lament (head against the marble)
A boundless praise (prisoner of adoration)
Stuck with her wraith, I can''t escape
Illusive mourning

A sunken ark
Rots in the void
Mute in the soil
Impassive

On the tiles, inert shape
Absent gleam, pallid complexion
Rekindle a spark
To reanimate

Deluded allegiance
Failed in my duty
Craven knight, guardian of disgrace
Honour dissipates again

Divided souls
In the shrine, immaculate
I collapse, shiver and convulse
Doomed to suffocate

Sacrificed
By the scythe
In a sigh

I''ll find a way to go back in time
Over and over again
Still, by the grave,
Watering roses

I''ll find a way to go back in time
Over and over again
I''ll find a way
To allay her pain
Our vow will never die
