The Corroseum forum (new design under construction)

First song, 'Bells Ringing for the Fatal Hour'. This is what I've picked up so far. I ask you to listen as well and try to fill in the blanks or correct my undoubtedly wrong guesses. As far as I can tell, there are no official lyrics circulated for this anywhere.

VERSE 1

The world soon is to fall
Innocent lives taken away
By the spirits of the evil god
It's done, there won't be another day

VERSE 2

Insanity in the wind
Horizons (/are rising?) like the wasteland
This is the ???? the endless fear (/sphere?)
No mercy for their begging hands(?)

CHORUS

Bells ringing the fatal hour
It's too late to change your fate
No use in running for cover
Feel the burning end

VERSE 3

Master's pain, withered and dazed
???? bodies at their stakes(?)
???? and armor as I ?????
???? he stands before the gates

As you can see Verse 3 is a mess, and "This is the ???? the endless fear (/sphere?)" would be pretty much a huge number of different things, but it's a worthy cause! Naturally if we could come into contact with anyone in the band for verification it would be best but the people in Nigro Mantia have sadly fallen off of the face of the internet earth as far as I can tell.

I haven't listened to this in a while, maybe I'll have time later today after work, but in the meantime this is what someone had submitted to MA:

"The world is doomed to fall
innocent lives taken away
by the spirit of the evil call
it's dark, there won't be another day

Insanity in the wind
horizon like a wasteland
resistance useless, the end is near
no mercy for the beggin' hand

Bells ringing for the fatal hour
it's too late to change your fate
no use in running for cover
feel the burning hate

Masters playing wicked games
using bodies as stakes
silent amour as a leadflower
executed you stand before the gates

Bells ringing for the fatal hour
it's too late to change your fate
no use in running for cover
feel the burning hate"

I'm not assuming you haven't thought of looking there, maybe your question marks were a forceful rebellion against the inconsistencies you found to be present

Haha shit, I swear I had checked MA like, a week ago for any lyrics by Nigro Mantia. These look pretty much correct yes, and I'm happy I wasn't too far off. I guess this thread has served its purpose and its purpose is to remind me to be more thorough with my research. Thank you!

I often forget to check the MA, I mean is so obvious that you don't think you'll find what you're looking for there, because we're so kvlt, haha.

It could be a cool idea thoguh a "decypher the lyrics" thread.

I see you are in the mood for deciphering lyrics, show your sturdiness and deliver me lyrics of Atlain . I believe cds were without them as well, right?

I shall investigate this.. Atlain.

I'll get a copy of official lyric sheet that was distributed with some of the demos back then...

with demos? vinyl lyricsheet? wow, what a strange combination. I must add, ATLAIN are my fave power/speed Metal band (as seen from me very introductory post).

Who said anything about vinyl lyricsheet ?

Just a lyric-sheet that was send with some of the demos directly from the band. Not that strange???

Cool that the band wanted their message to be understood even on their demos. Now I really have to listen to Atlain!

G.O.E. is a masterpiece...

I understood they came with demos but separately, which could mean that was in a time the album was already out, ti. as a sort of bonus. Ah, nevermind.

@ Avenger: that's what I think about G.O.E. as well.

I am listening to GOE and it has a very strange and sorta 'archaic' aura, for a thrash record!

I am ofcourse talking about NIGRO MANTIA lyric-sheet!
