"Haunted Eyes" is a dark blues/gothic rock tale of mystery, fear, and seduction on the open road. Inspired by ghostly legends, femme fatales, and the chilling feeling of an encounter that feels both real and unreal, the song follows a man who picks up a beautiful hitchhiker—only to realize that her eyes hold something far more terrifying than beauty. A song about temptation, despair, and the kind of love that lingers long after the night is gone…

Inspired by the eerie silence and ever-changing stories surrounding that fateful night in the desert, the song explores the whispers of conspiracy, the shadows of secrecy, and the lingering question—what really fell from the sky? Whether it was a simple accident or something beyond our world, the truth remains buried… but never forgotten.

"Dark Eyes at the Bar" is a tale of mystery, temptation, and the eerie pull of the unknown. Inspired by the smoky atmosphere of late-night bars, where strangers come and go like ghosts, the song tells of a man drawn to a woman whose presence is as intoxicating as the whiskey in his glass. Is she real, or just a shadow of his own desires? A spirit from the past? A curse in disguise? This dark blues melody lingers like the last sip of bourbon—smooth, haunting, and unforgettable.

"The Last Dance Before Dawn" is a bluesy tale of fleeting love, mystery, and the ghosts we meet in the dead of night. Inspired by those final moments before sunrise—when reality and dreams blur—the song tells of a man drawn into a dance with a woman who may not be of this world. Is she a lost love? A wandering spirit? Or just a figment of whiskey-soaked memories? As the night fades, so does she, leaving behind only the echoes of the music and the weight of an unfinished goodbye.

Crown of Sorrow Born in gold, bound in chains, a kingdom’s curse in royal veins. Whispers call from halls of stone, shadowed fate, yet left alone. Veil of time won’t break the vow, buried truths still scream out loud. Through the sands she walks alone, crown of sorrow, heart of stone. Echoes cry from a love undone, a queen lost under the burning sun. Blood was spilled to shape the throne, destiny was never her own. A shattered dream, a silent plea, locked inside eternity. Veil of time won’t break the vow, buried truths still scream out loud. Through the sands she walks alone, crown of sorrow, heart of stone. Echoes cry from a love undone, a queen lost under the burning sun. Winds still whisper through the night, a legacy blurred in fading light. The gods may turn, the stars may fade, but her soul won’t be betrayed. Through the sands she walks alone, crown of sorrow, heart of stone. Echoes cry from a love undone, a queen lost under the burning sun. No grave can hold, no time erase, a name once spoken, lost in space.

Canto 1B Vested already with that planet’s rays Which leadeth others right by every road. Then was the fear a little quieted That in my heart’s lake had endured throughout The night, which I had passed so piteously And even as he, who, with distressful breath, Forth issued from the sea upon the shore, Turns to the water perilous and gazes; So did my soul, that still was fleeing onward, Turn itself back to re-behold the pass Which never yet a living person left. After my weary body I had rested, The way resumed I on the desert slope, So that the firm foot ever was the lower. And lo! almost where the ascent began, A panther light and swift exceedingly, Which with a spotted skin was covered o’er! And never moved she from before my face, Nay, rather did impede so much my way, That many times I to return had turned. The time was the beginning of the morning, And up the sun was mounting with those stars That with him were, what time the Love Divine

Starbound Hearts Across the cosmic sea, I watched you from afar, A soul so bright beneath your Earth-bound star, In your eyes, the oceans dance and sway, How could a being of light feel this way? I’ve touched the nebulae, felt time stand still, But nothing like this heart you choose to fill, Oh, how the stars must envy me, For loving someone I was never meant to see. Starbound hearts, defying space and time, A Pleidian’s love wrapped in the human rhyme, Worlds apart, yet here we stand, You took my light, and gave it land. I hear your heartbeat, so fragile, so real, It echoes galaxies I used to feel, You speak in words I barely understand, Yet your touch is all I demand. I’ve danced with comets, whispered to the moon, But nothing ever felt like this Earthly tune, Oh, how the cosmos gaze in wonder, At love that pulls worlds asunder. Starbound hearts, defying space and time, A Pleidian’s love wrapped in the human rhyme, Worlds apart, yet here we stand, You took my light, and gave it land. If I could bend the universe, I'd stay, But cosmic laws pull me away, I’ll leave my light within your soul, An echo of love beyond control. Starbound hearts, defying space and time, A Pleidian’s love wrapped in the human rhyme, Worlds apart, yet here we stand, You took my light, and gave it land. So when you look up at the night, Know one star is burning bright, Carrying love from worlds unknown, Forever yours, forever home.

Divine Comedy Inferno Opera Canto 1A Midway upon the journey of our life I found myself within a forest dark, For the straightforward pathway had been lost. Ah me! how hard a thing it is to say What was this forest savage, rough, and stern, Which in the very thought renews the fear. So bitter is it, death is little more; But of the good to treat, which there I found, Speak will I of the other things I saw there. I cannot well repeat how there I entered, So full was I of slumber at the moment In which I had abandoned the true way. But after I had reached a mountain’s foot, At that point where the valley terminated, Which had with consternation pierced my heart, Upward I looked, and I beheld its shoulders

Canto 1C - Duet At first in motion set those beauteous things; So were to me occasion of good hope, The variegated skin of that wild beast, The hour of time, and the delicious season; But not so much, that did not give me fear A lion’s aspect which appeared to me. He seemed as if against me he were coming With head uplifted, and with ravenous hunger, So that it seemed the air was afraid of him; And a she-wolf, that with all hungerings Seemed to be laden in her meagreness, And many folk has caused to live forlorn!
