I'll be back 04:46
A sudden noise, I fall A crowd around me Fear settles in, I don't know what went wrong My blood is like a painting on the wall Breath in, breath out Breath in, breath out A woman cries She knows my life is ending My dying thoughts are looking for your smile Nowhere to go, my body's on the line Breath in, breath out Breath in, breath out I'll be back for you I'll be back for you I'll be back for you I'll be back for you The last thing I recall A lover's quarrel I can't remember what we fought about This can't be how I'll be on my way out Breath in, breath out Breath in, breath out I'll be back for you I'll be back for you I'll be back for you I'll be back for you It's getting dark A thick fog all around me Is that your voice I hear, it does feel right It's calling me by name, toward the light Breath in, breath out Breath in, breath out I'll be back for you I'll be back for you I'll be back for you I'll be back for you

Lost in the maze of my feelings There's not a thing there A flowerless desert A night with no stars Hope an illusion Nothing comes out of the void

Fragments 09:02
My mind is blank, there is just fear I don't remember coming here No need to fight, no need for pain Our voices are with you again I know I have been here before But when that was, I am not sure It doesn't matter, just give up You are alone Am I just talking to myself Or is there really someone else Our voice, your own, why do you care It will not tell you who you were I feel like I'm losing control My memories empty, my fear full Stop struggling for a reason why You won't find one You lost your mind There's no way out The mirror shows me an unknown face My hands explore its fearful gaze How weak, how pityful those eyes Come back to us and claim your prize My mind is split, my will is torn I feel like I was just now born Your past is gone, why dig it up The future calls Pain, fear, loss, doom All weighing on you Broken and in anguish I know there's things to be found Looking for my sanity In a past now long gone Fragments of my memories Scattered over the ground Pieces of a puzzle that I may never solve again Despair is finally kicking in No more strength to draw from within That you don't need, we're here for you Embrace our will, don't be a fool This chapter cannot be the last I still don't know about my past Just close the book, put it away A life long gone End, ruin, rage, death Just feel your wrath Broken and in anguish I know there's things to be found Looking for my sanity In a past now long gone Fragments of my memories Scattered over the ground Pieces of a puzzle that I may never solve again Broken and in anguish I know there's things to be found Looking for my sanity In a past now long gone Fragments of my memories Scattered over the ground Pieces of a puzzle that I may never solve again Broken and in anguish I know there's things to be found Looking for my sanity In a past now long gone Fragments of my memories Scattered over the ground Pieces of a puzzle that I may never solve again

Dreams 08:05
Is this a dream or is it real? But does it matter if I like what I feel? Your hand in mine Your warmth the comfort I for so long required Notes float through my head Notes I hope I won't forget You speak to me, my heart is racing I can't hear the words, but I feel fine A sudden light, the walls are shaking Eyes now open on a different world Out of sight, out of mind And yet the memory of her smile cuts like a knife Her eyes on mine A picture so vivid in my mind Tears flow from my eyes Sweet notes remembered, the pain just leaves me blind Just a dream, my heart is racing I can't hear her words, and I feel numb I look outside, the world is empty I'll fill the void with memories from my dreams

Jasrin hugs a bone In a tower, alone Sentence for her crime Murdering her kind Jealous of her king She'd left her son to die Prince Madness on her side, she asks "Make him as mad as I" Nemdur king of Sheve Now builds a tower up high Trying to reach the gods, and drink The immortal source of life Punished by the gods Centuries go by The tower now in dust, the ruins A stage for things to come Dunizel her name Comet's daughter Beautiful and fair Her glow recalling the crystal skin of gods above Bhelsheved her home Shining jar of gods Built on Sheve's remains Now holy place to all Azhrarn his name Prince of demons Beautiful and fair The night as his domain, and yet drawn to her light Their love shouldn't be The sun and wicked night Can a god go mad? A challenge for Prince Madness Marble to her heart Made of Azhrarn's blood Nothing else could pierce her skin How could that happen? Those stones at the mob's feet Delusion's Master's gift Night's Master's heart to pieces Now that she's lost forever

about

My first "serious" album. A collection of tracks I wrote in the past couple of years, and that felt like they belonged together thematically or tonally. Most of the album is instrumental, but some songs have (my bad) vocals too: lyrics can be found in the info section of each track. The title of the album, and the title track, are a homage to the "Delusion's Master" novel by Tanith Lee, a personal favourite.

All recorded, mixed and mastered using open source and free tools: thanks to all the software authors for making this possible!

about

Lorenzo Miniero Naples, Italy

I'm getting older but, unlike whisky, I'm not getting any better. So, besides developing open source software for a living, I've decided to go back to an old passion of mine: writing and recording music.
