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.
Ghost of Swan
Mandragora Scream Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vera walkin' in the sun...
Vera, Vera walkin' in the sun...
Why do you walk alone? I saw you walkin' forward.
Vera, walkin' in the sun...
Vera, Vera walkin' in the sun...
Why do you wanna love?
After all I believe
you will last, ghost of swan
in my head,
I'll dream of you're your heart 'till the end...
After all you're diein', love
tonight you'll soar...
'Cause our whole dawn enchains in love...
'Cause your life will return for me...
All your life will return from me
"Flat line"
Vera, walkin' in the sun...
Vera, Vera walkin' in the sun...
Why do you walk alone?
I'm not alone, I'm with you! You don't hear me?
Why do you walk alone?
All my dreams, falling leaves
through my arms and my hands,
sing like dirges,
why don't you want to return?
For your love I'll cry beyond...
My crescent moon...
'Cause I still want to hold you tight
and I still want to feel your might.
...For your love...
The lyrics of Mandragora Scream's song "Ghost of Swan" are poetic and layered with meaning. The opening lines "Flat line... brain dead... now it's real" suggest a moment of realization or epiphany. The next lines are addressed to a woman named Vera who is walking alone in the sun. The repetition of her name adds to the sense of loneliness and isolation. The lyrics ask why Vera walks alone and why she wants to love. The chorus "After all I believe you will last, ghost of swan in my head, I'll dream of your heart 'till the end" suggests that Vera is no longer alive but is a ghost who haunts the singer's thoughts and dreams.
The lyrics also suggest a sense of longing and loss. The line "All my dreams, falling leaves through my arms and my hands, sing like dirges" suggests that the singer's dreams are slipping away and that she is mourning their loss. The repetition of the phrase "For your love" in the final lines suggests that the singer is still holding out hope that Vera will return to her.
Overall, the lyrics of "Ghost of Swan" are complex and ambiguous, leaving room for the listener to interpret them in different ways. They suggest a sense of loneliness, longing, and loss, as well as the possibility of redemption and the enduring power of love.
