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 ↴
Dreaminess in my rent dark heart,
With maggot's flames,
My dyin' mien dies in sleepin' heaven of my life.
Heaven was made - of blind eyes by His lapses stained of blood...
Misery in my mind - unwanted hallowed relics and nightmare's stars.
IT'S TIME TO GO!
Like a spectral land, His wane crucified!
My redemption falls, hushin' this pain of faith!
"Lacunary light!"
This grave calls my name!
Hauntin' nights on my blightin' lanes full of life.
Rave - THIS LANE
Never again - YOUR LIFE
A rose's ray but only tedious hone of shades - DISCLOSE
And ravin' lanes - DEMISE
On nerves of life, walkin' on this martyr's crown.
Walkin' across - this dim playground, I live in lanes of tombs.
I crucify - on this fadin' spirits all these spikes of hopes...
YOU'LL BE CRUCIFIED!
Like a spectral land, His wane crucified!
My redemption falls, hushin' this pain of faith!
"Lacunary light!"
This grave calls my name!..
Hauntin' nights on my blightin' lanes full of life.
The lyrics of Mandragora Scream's "Redeemer" are about the struggle of redemption and the agony of faith. The song begins with the singer feeling unhurt by the leap of faith they have taken, while also expressing the dreamy state of their heart that has been left rent and desolate. The singer sees their dying self and their nightmare's stars in the flames of maggots, and yet dies in a sleeping heaven of their own life.
The singer then speaks of heaven, which was made of blind eyes by the lapses of God that were stained with blood. They express their misery and the unwanted hallowed relics that haunt their mind. The singer then feels it's time to leave and references a spectral land where redemption falls and the pain of faith is hushed. The grave calls their name and they haunts nights on their blightin' lanes full of life. They then speak of raving lanes and disclose the tedious hone of shades that is a rose's ray. They also talk about their nerves of life that are walking on a martyr's crown, dwelling on this dim playground they live in lanes of tombs.
The singer ultimately feels that they will be crucified again and again, but still, they walk across the fading spirits all the spikes of hopes.
