During the summer of 2000, Mandragora Scream (Morgan Lacroix) finally became a group. Morgan Lacroix and Terry Horn started together their journey and between the years 2000 and 2001 they realized their first album "Fairy Tales From Hell's Caves" (released by Nuclear Blast). Fairy Tales is a trip into the Inferno, tormented by passion, anguish and madness, where, taking the place of Virgilio in the exhausted way through the boredom and marthyrdom in Dante's circles, there is an unusual vampire fairy.
In 2002 Mandragora Scream composed the second album "A Whisper of Dew" (released 10th February 2003 by Nuclear Blast). This concept album is based on a vampire story written by Julio Angel Olivares Merino. The CD is released together with the book.
The heart of the Group is centered on Morgan Lacroix - singer, musician and author of the Lyrics, and on Terry Horn - guitarist, composer, arranger and performer of all the music. Other unbelivably fascinating musicians in their style get together with them. Mat Stancioiu on drums&percussions, Jack Lowell Halleyn on keyboards.
Centered into the passion for the particular music, Mandragora Scream finally built up its stronghold. The Group devotes itself to the research of magic motives and ancient tales that accompany them in their journey towards the most bewitched lands, keeping as fixed purpose the passion and the aim of taking the listener inside always more ancient and chivalrous atmospheres.
A Vision They Shared
Mandragora Scream Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel, rapin' all my mind,
Freezin' ghosts dancin' around
Cryin' through hell drives me insane
You enjoy my death-I'll curse your soul with my spells
No Prince from your womb-I'll wretch you and all your dreams
Oh! your sinful lust-Thirteen nymphs will tear you apart
My breath won't die-My Nymph's white eyes
I'll bring the powers shinin' at night
Invoke breeze of black storm
Thirteen nymphs will show white eyes
Ebony vultures will fly
You enjoy my death-I'll curse your soul with my spells
No Prince from your womb-I'll wretch you and all your dreams
Oh! your sinful lust-Thirteen nymphs will tear you apart
My rhymes will return-Your last voice is melody
They will breed your son-Three tremblin' vultures will star
Mylast hero- No one will sing
The lyrics to Mandragora Scream's song "A Vision They Shared" speak of a dark and macabre revenge that is born out of agony and betrayal.

She threatens to curse those who enjoy her death with her spells and promises to wretch them and all their dreams.
The lyrics take an even darker turn as the singer talks about the sinful lust of someone, possibly King Seal, who will be torn apart by "thirteen nymphs". She invokes the powers shining at night and calls upon a black storm, and describes how ebony vultures will fly. The song then takes on an ominous tone as the singer talks about her rhymes returning and the last voice being a melody. She talks about the breeding of a son and three trembling vultures starring, while also declaring that her last hero will not be sung or remembered.
Overall, the lyrics to "A Vision They Shared" are mysterious and haunting, with vivid and fantastical imagery. It speaks of betrayal, revenge, and the darkness that can lie within the human heart.
