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.
Lifeless Haze
Mandragora Scream Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ice-bars, clench my breath away. . .
Maddened mind rends tears when I see your face,
maiden, like misty nights. . .Crucified.
Lovely & insane mental excitement,
I will lose all my lonely wings
and I want you to come to the land of spring, and. . .
Lodestar’s, I’ll summon all my stars,
. . .brambles in my arms. . .
Enlighten my hellish curse inside
only bewitched by your light.
Destroy, enlighten, unveilin’ your heart,
breathin’ my lifeless and lonely haze.
This life, beyond inscrutable tide,
we’ll meet again if you wanna rise.
Enchased in my spasm of faith,
dark heaven falls, faraway hell. . .
Now I’m defyin’ my blindin’ race,
doleful place. . .Creepin’ along my desire,
. . .fades away. . .
Never mourns, angel, life must regret. . .
I will lose all my lonely wings
and I want you to come to the land of spring, and. . .
Lodestar’s, I’ll summon all my stars,
. . .brambles in my arms. . .
Enlighten my hellish curse inside
only bewitched by your light.
Destroy & enlighten, unveilin’ your heart,
breathin’ my lifeless and lonely haze.
This life, beyond inscrutable tide,
we’ll meet again if you wanna rise.
