FRIGHTENING COUNTRIES
lost in the gorges where grotesque buried itself away from the beaten paths of communication it rises from the mud clinging to a slope as ivy tries to hide the eye-like windows sleeping dwellings forgotten through the woods remote and lonely places and tortous routes proud puritans aloof from their fellowmen grown up with the taint of repulsive bizarre growls: Alberto dark ways of dealing tracing back to prehistory the gory taste of sin that marked the frightening countries lead: Andy

SEASON OF SURVIVAL
Piles
of dead after the
nuclear death Darkened sky, it's your fate to rot and die Radioactive ground On
the body lots of wounds Did you survive but now
you have to die There’s no work, all
effaced by the war Around is
cold, there’s
not even a soup Human skeletons ridden of
the soul Dying mutants walking
down the streets Oozing infections
appearing on the skin Staggering zombies
screaming for the pain Rotting
persons, corpses
with no name All those corpses lying
in the streets Decomposition, corpse
decomposition Infestation, hell of
thermonuclear infestation

LIQUID PUTRESCENCE
I was dreaming uncertainty seized me disquieted by images about an ossuary I went to that place surmounted with a belfry god's house enthralled with rosary melts the burning wax and the hot incense mixed with stench of liquid putrescence ogival rose windows friezes and incisions embalmed their expression as they used to rot air of death chambers underneath they sleep marbled in the floor putrefaction sets in melts the burning wax and the hot incense mixed with stench of liquid putrescence harmony guitar: Udo lead: Andy sealed up down the altar giving off the fumes flies settle on the cross infected is the stoup addicted to the dead a christian usage sickening the minds inherited from the middle age
music written by udo usvardi in 1996 lyrics written by frank wells in 1994
based on the novel "the facts in the case of mr. waldemar" by edgar allan poe and especially on the poem "sepulchres" by ugo foscolo

COMMEMORATION OF THE DEAD
On the November first We
remember the dead Our late parents see our
grief now and then Millions of persons
dressed in black Their weak affliction at
the requiem mass Then
come to the graveyard A vase full of water and
visit of the sepulchre They
know you’re dead
and speak to you Their weak devotion’s a joke To the entombed Church bell tolls
awakening the graveyard It’s not time to
rot,
must rise from the dark Evocations of
death, smiling of the dead Commemorated ones leave
their mortuary chapels lead: Andy

DARK DIVULGATIONS
something creeps in the dark while the lights change a sickening cloud vaporizes from the ground of the graves when I began to dwell the house of the shadows the seas of desperation brought the horror searchlight show dead bodies on the mounts of desolation festering scars bloodshot eyes devoured by fever lead: Andy my room looks towards the hills and now the day is dying consumed by the shades disease has become my obsession i can join the long awaited state of unconsciousness black planets are mine screams: Udo
