Water of Mars

Who can hold the sword of wisdom,
who is pure of heart and soul,
who's so brave to leave his kingdom,
Can he face the mirror's ghoul?

Who can hear and see the angel
after having crossed the waves,
whithout putting off the flames,
enters the salamander's domain

WHO KNOWS HOW TO BURN WITH WATER
AND HOW TO WASH WITH FIRE
CAN MAKE HEAVEN OF EARTH
AND A PRECIOUS EARTH OF HEAVEN

Who can love with no beloved one,
who can search without a path
guided by the unknown nostalgia
will reach the iron's gate to home

There he'll find and ride the dragon,
who will show him his own world
through the creatures' dance and chanting
before enthroning with his crown

WHO KNOWS HOW TO BURN WITH WATER
AND HOW TO WASH WITH FIRE
CAN MAKE HEAVEN OF EARTH
AND A PRECIOUS EARTH OF HEAVEN

THE MAGIC DOOR - THE ALBUM

The theme of the album is Rome’s Magic Door (also called the Alchemical Portal).
The only alchemical monument in Italy, the Magic Door was built by the Marquis Massimiliano Palombara in his residence, Villa Palombara, vital center of esoteric Rome of the 1600's.
According to legend, a pilgrim was a guest of the villa for one night.
The Pilgrim, later identified as the alchemist Giuseppe Francesco Borri, searched the gardens of the villa all night long, looking for a mysterious herb to produce gold with.
The next morning, he disappeared forever passing through the door, but left behind a few flakes of gold and a mysterious paper with puzzling symbols and seven Epigraphs, containing the secrets for the 'Philosopher's Stone'.
In the Intro (first track of the album), Marquis Palombara himself tells us of his encounter with the Pilgrim and that he had the Symbols and the Epigraphs engraved on the door, knowing that one day they would be decoded.
The following seven songs are inspired by the planets that the Epigraphs refer to and the refrain of each song is the translation of each Epigraph.
In the Epilogue, the Pilgrim himself, from the other side of the Door, sings all seven Epigraphs in their original language, Latin.

This album is the result of our own journey 'through the Magic Door', guided by its symbols and epigraphs and the infinite and multidimensional imaging they evoke, across traditions, myths and dreams.
