Con gli occhi verso la luna
E si chiedeva
Verrà presto l'amore?
E che altro esiste
In un cuore gelato
Tranne il pensiero di un'assassinio
The lyrics of Kamelot's Interlude II: Un Assassinio Molto Silenzioso, which is sung in Italian, tell the story of a man who has his eyes set on the moon and wonders if love will come to him soon. However, he also contemplates the idea of committing a very silent assassination as nothing else exists in his cold heart. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for the pursuit of love, where the man is willing to do whatever it takes to attain it, even if it means betraying or harming others. The imagery of the moon also serves to enhance the idea of mystery and danger in the pursuit of love.
The lyrics seem to suggest that the fears and worries of the man's heart have driven him towards a destructive path, where love and violence are intertwined. The contrast between the gentle hope of love and the violent thoughts of assassination creates a sense of tension and unease in the listener. The song is meant to be a haunting interlude that sets the mood for the rest of the album, leaving the listener with a sense of foreboding.
