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.

Mandragora Scream Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your dark light is my guide now through the night
I'm lost without you
Guided by my faith
I'm calling you darling
Through this door of hell
Enodia
Can you hear me
Love will tear us apart
Wishing to live by your dark side again
Begging you for your fire flames
Searching for this darkest smell of rain
I'm calling your might
Your never ending
Your [???] flight
Begging your light to be by my side
Light your torch tonight
Light your torch for me tonight
Burning fires between heaven and hell
I'm calling you darling
Through this ancient faith
Enodia
Waiting for you
For your mercy and grace tonight
Waiting to fight
Calling you, begging you for your fire flames
Hekate, hekate, hekate
Bloody lips
Ruby flames to the moonlight
Deadly shade in your obsidian vein
I found your crocus-scented way
Hekate, hekate, hekate
En erebos, phos
Hekate
Dark light
Can you hear me
Love will tear us apart
Wishing to live by your dark side again
Begging you for your fire flames
Searching for this darkest smell of rain
Bloody lips
Ruby flames to the moonlight
Deadly shade in your obsidian vein
I found your crocus-scented way
Hekate, hekate, hekate
Waiting for you
The song "Hekate" by Mandragora Scream is an ode to the Greek goddess of the same name. The lyrics revolve around the singer's deep yearning and desperation to be reunited with Hekate. The opening lines make reference to Hekate's role as a guide through the darkness, with the singer implying that they are lost without her. The singer is guided by their faith in Hekate and calls out to her, referring to her as "darling." The "door of hell" represents the singer's current state of hardship, and they implore Hekate to help them through it.
The chorus brings up the idea of love tearing the singer apart, which could represent the struggle between their devotion to Hekate and their earthly desires. The second verse further emphasizes the singer's desire to return to the dark side, full of Hekate's "fire flames" and the "darkest smell of rain." The following lines seem to conjure up imagery of Hekate herself, with her "bloody lips" and "ruby flames to the moonlight," as well as her "deadly shade in your obsidian vein." The singer found her "crocus-scented way" and is waiting for her mercy and grace to help them fight through their struggles.
Overall, the song is a haunting, desperate call to Hekate to guide the singer through the darkness and bring them back to her side.
