Track Name: Hymn
When night holds still the birds in early hour,
my soul, suspended by desires, seems
to haunt the possible, as if to float,
contained by curtains early in the streams.

And through the break a tiny moonbeam spied
which falls oblique to corners of my dreams.
The heavy air congealed in my throat,
the silence and the sorrow amplified.

Perhaps eternity will find me here,
a single ringing bell upon the tower.
A warning to release what burns unclear,
before the lesser pieces turn to dust.

The germ of beauty married to the rust,
the chimes of midnight terrible and sour.
Track Name: Dante Song
Text: Dante's Purgatory

I: 115-120
L'alba vinceva l'ora mattutina
che fuggia innanzi, sì che di lontano
conobbi il tremolar de la marina.
Noi andavam per lo solingo piano
com'om che torna a la perduta strada,
che 'nfino ad essa li pare ire in vano.

II:7-12
sì che le bianche e le vermiglie guance,
là dov'i' era, de la bella Aurora
per troppa etate divenivan rance.
Noi eravam lunghesso mare ancora,
come gente che pensa a suo cammino,
che va col cuore e col corpo dimora.

Track Name: Cantico Espiritual
Text: St. John of the Cross, Cantico Espiritual
From stanzas 10, 11, 13, 14

Apaga mis enojos,
pues que ninguno basta a deshacellos,
y véante mis ojos,
pues eres lumbre dellos,
y sólo para ti quiero tenellos.

¡Oh cristalina fuente,
si en esos tus semblantes plateados,
formases de repente
los ojos deseados,
que tengo en mis entrañas dibujados!

¡Mi amado, las montañas,
los valles solitarios nemorosos,
las ínsulas extrañas,
los ríos sonorosos,
el silbo de los aires amorosos;

la noche sosegada,
en par de los levantes de la aurora,
la música callada,
la soledad sonora,
la cena que recrea y enamora;
