CELESTE ARCANA A Dark Romantic Musical (2023)

Prelude

No lyrics.

The Darkest Castle

Lost inside my dreams,
I see your eyes that lure me into
The darkest castle.

Once inside those halls,
I dance alone the waltz of love
I'd never heard of.

Now, I wonder how I got this far
Without your claws around my neck,
Without your bane inside my scars
Your kiss would be my sweetest venom.

With their marble hands,
Old statues point me the way
To the darkest parlors.

Eyes of faint portraits
Follow my steps.
I'm all allured by cunning shadows,

Now, I wonder if it's really me
Or just a crack in looking glass.
I wonder what will happen next.
Your kiss would be my sweetest venom.
You are my sweetest venom.

We dance the waltz on broken glass.
Our hearts are full of lust.
This night is ours.
Let's live it while it lasts.
By dawn, we'll turn to dust.
Am I in paradise or is it hell?
I'm falling deep.
Accepting your embrace.
Moonlight reflects my grace.
Or is it shame?
I'm burning in your flames
And savoring the tender pain
And horrors of your reign.
I'm lost on the web forever.
Lost forever. Lost forever.

Whispers in the halls
And candles wink on chandeliers
In the darkest corners.

Dusty books on shelves
Are like tombstones.
I found the key to the secret passage.

Now, I wonder if this labyrinth
Would have an end, or am I trapped?
I need your guidance. I need your love.
Your kiss would be my sweetest venom.
You are my sweetest venom.

We dance the waltz on broken glass.
Our hearts are full of lust.
This night is ours.
Let's live it while it lasts.
By dawn, we'll turn to dust.
Am I in paradise or is it hell?
I'm falling deep.
Accepting your embrace.
Moonlight reflects my grace.
Or is it shame?
I'm burning in your flames
And savoring the tender pain
And horrors of your reign.
I'm lost on the web forever.
Lost forever. Lost forever.

Rosarium Madness

The night is calling.
The wind is howling.
The flames are burning.
Desires crawl like your fingers on my skin.
Like your touch, I feel from within.
Tonight I'm lost.

I've scratched the deep itch.
I've passed the high ridge.
I've burned the last bridge.
Desires crawl like the spider legs on my spine.
Like its tender bite, that heals me from inside.
The rose is ripe.

Hear my aria of love.
Chimera from the past.
Born in deepest dreams and my sorrow.
I am falling.
I am rising high!
So high! So high!
Enough.

Tear me down, please.
Tear me down, now!
I want to feel your hard grasp. Now!

Hold me tight, please!
Hold me tight, hard!
Make me cry!

Ignite the moonlight.
Embrace the high flight.
Unleash the sweet night.
Desires crawl like your whisper at my ear.
Like your lie, that I wish to hear.
My thorns are sharp.

Sing my aria of love.
Chimera from the past.
Born in deepest dreams and out of sorrow.
I am falling.
I am rising high!
So high! So high!
Besotted!
Come!
Holding hands, we shall fly to heaven and back.
Like the mighty raven, please, take to the place I've never been.
With you, I am free and forever trapped.

Winds are blowing.
Petals falling.
Thorns are growing.
I am moaning.

You are my personal madness.

Hear my aria of love.
Chimera from the past.
Born in deepest dreams and my sorrow.
I am falling.
I am rising high!
So high! So high!
It hurts me deep from inside.
Feel me.
Tears on my face.
Fear me.
Thorns are sharp.
We shall bleed.

You are my personal madness.

Whispers in the Night

In the forbidden wing of my senses
I hear your footsteps, my master,
As you cross the hall
You approach my room slowly.

The door opens with a lustful groan
But the light from outside
Does not drive the darkness away.
On the contrary.
It lets in a shadow... a silhouette.
Your silhouette
Full of mysteries and desires.
Large, and mighty, and slick
Just like the eyes that haunt me in my… dreams

Don't be afraid.
I won't chase you away.
The tears and joy we gonna share
Will mark the birth of the new… era.

Our hopes and dreams
That we left on the other side of this night
Will no longer disturb our peace.
And yet I can still feel you… trembling.
Or is it me?
Damnit Lord, I'm such a coward
Who's afraid to admit my own feelings
My desires and tastes.

Am I alone on these silk sheets?
This bed is too big for me alone
Just like this room, this castle…
This world.

I need your presence
I need your touch, my master,
Wherever you are
Please, reach out to me,
I beg you.

Be my meaning, my faith,
Which I can always rely on,
Knowing that you are always there,
My love, come closer.

What is this?
Am I hearing footsteps again?
Is this a dream or just another nightmare?
It can't be both.

The door opens with a lustful groan,
But the light from outside does not drive the darkness away.
It lets in a shadow... a silhouette.

Gothic Waltz

No lyrics.

In the Web of Black Tarantula

I can't take your fears away,
Nor the tears you've shed.
Night above the maze of my chateau —
Driving you insane.

Light right behind the corner.
Voice echo in the hallway.
Can you feel me crawling deep inside you?
Driving you insane.

Breath.
Breath in.
Breath out.
Breath in and feel the joy.
Enjoy.
Rejoice.
Stay still and fear my touch.
Sharp clutch.
My kiss on your spine.

Bite the ripe fig from sly hands.
Ooze, as I undress my corset.
Pull the silk thread of desires.
Step right through eternal pyres.
Trace me to the web of pleasure

Lights flicker somewhere in the silence.
Eyes staring at you through the darkness.
Prey tangled itself by its blindness.
Knots are tight on my web.
I'm pulling hard.
Can you feel the stings, my puppet?

Kneel.
Kneel down.
Lay down.
Lie still and take the breath.
Last breath.
Last hope.
Last time to feel my kiss.
Dark bliss.
Grim twist.
Grim smile beneath dead eyes.

Song of the Ghost in Love

I'll haunt you forever.
Forever and ever.
I'll haunt you forever.
And forever begins tonight.

I'll love you forever.
Forever and ever.
I'll love you forever more
If you would kiss me now.

I'll haunt you forever.
Forever and ever.
I'll haunt you forever.
And forever begins tonight.

I'll love you forever.
Forever and ever.
I'll love you forever more

If you would kiss me.

I'll love you forever.
Forever and ever.
I'll love you forever.
And I will leave you nevermore.
You are the toy I'm looking for.
I'm gonna touch you to the core.
I am your ghost. I want to play. Now.

Stay close to me.
Love cuts through my innocence.
Why curtains sway in halls.
Doors are opened wide.
Winds signings loud.
The midnight calls
On antique clock.
Tik-tok tik-tok.
My cradle rocks wearily.
I don't want go to sleep.
I want to play with you, my…
Love, sweet love.
Hold my hand.
Don't mind that its hollow.
My sweet love,
I'm a ghost.
But my heart is…
Real like rain.
It's real like grass.
It's real.
I'm real.
I'm yours.
I am your true bride.
Tonight. We shall be one in joy
And pain till the end.
Even death won't do us apart.
Please, don't fear me.
I'm your new queen.
Drink some black tea.
In my doll house.
Love me, love me!
Please, just say you love me!
Touch me, touch me!
Why don't you just touch me.
I am hollow.
Your hands go right through me.
It makes me cry.

I'll love you forever.
Forever and ever.
I'll love you forever.
And I will leave you nevermore.
You are the toy I'm looking for.
I'm gonna touch you to the core
I am your ghost. I want your love. Now.

My Alexandra

My Alexandra.
Curly golden hair.
My Alexandra.
Piercing glare.

My nightly raven.
Squeeze me tight. I'm craving.
Sway in our waltz as the eons flow.

My Alexandra.
Queen of snow and thunder.
Don't judge our niello — we're still from the sky.

My Gala Nova,
Dearest Alexandra.
Hold me in your arms
As we wander through the night.

My Alexandra.
My Alexandra.
My Alexandra.
My Alexandra.

Tender Beast

— Celeste Arcana —
Nightfall.
Deep in the night, we sway.
Through silence, eager to hear you whisper my name.

My heart beats loudly.
It's warm. It's soft. It's yours.
I'm yours.

You take my hand.
I feel your touch.
We walk the night.
We're dancing through the distant stars
On the darkest skies.

We are alone in the whole world.

Embrace my heart.
Please, squeeze it hard.
Consume the light.
Let me feel your sharp bite.

Please, grab my hand now
As we fall from the sky
Into the most obscure abyss.
Night.
Hear my cry.
Raindrops.
Just like my tears —
They never
Stop me.
Hold me.
Touch me.
Love me.

Take my heart.
Please, squeeze it hard.
Consume the light.
Let me feel your sharp bite.

Please, grab my hand now
As we fall from the sky
Into the most obscure night —
Most obscure abyss.

I feel the bliss.
I need your kiss.
I need your love, my tender beast
Tonight we feast.
Tonight we laugh.
Tonight we dance our darkest waltz.

Feel me.
Feel me.
Love me… now.
Please, hold my hand
Tonight.
Tonight the stars belong to us.

— Celeste's inner voice —
I feel.
We walk.
We dance.
We fly.
We dip.
We are
Alone.
Embrace
My heart.

Let me feel your pain and beating heart.
We are falling off the most abrupt cliff.
I can feel you.
And there is no going back.

Innocence is lost.
Innocence is gone.
Innocence is torn.
Through the ashes

I am rising.
I am falling.
I am gripping.
I am moaning.
I am trembling.
I'm dissembling
I am crying.
I am flying…

Through the darkness.
Through the silence.
Through the deep mists
And the shadows.
Through the night sky
And eternal love that will unleash
My tender beast.
I need you.
My fierce sweet demon.
Your kiss… like a bliss, like a curse
Turning my heart into rust,
Into dust, into our sweet… waltz.

Come near me.

I'm falling in your… falling in your arms.
I need you. I need you. I need you.
I'm falling through the… falling through the…
Rising through the… rising through the… mist.

We twist. We're nuddling. We're hugging.
We're playing. We're dancing. We're swaying.

We're waltzing. We're heartened.
We're rising. We're falling. We're crying.
We're flying.
We're flying through stars… belong to us.

— The Beast —
Hear my soft voice.
Your eyes are cold like stone,
Like ice, like chasm, like me.
Please, hear me. Let me feel your pale skin,
And sweet lips as we fall deep.

I hear your call.
Tonight we dance.
Tonight we fly.
Tonight we fall through darkness.

Nightfall.
Deep call.
Dear, I can hear your distant call
Through the darkness,
Heart beats, rain weeps, pain sleeps,
Night creeps, moon peeps, wind sweeps, love hits.
Let me be your…
Let me be your beast.

Your bliss.
Let me feel your…
Let me feel your kiss…
I'm your tender beast.

We feast.
We laugh.
We dance.
Let me be your…
Let me be your charmer, armor, amor,
Lover, and clamor in the mists of silence.
Mysteries of nights
Are calling from the heavens.
Can you feel the...
Can you feel the night is stealing us?

Crying Through Oblivion

Tell me why
The raven came to me.
It tempted me to sin.
I tasted the sweet nectar
That bestows lore.
I wanted more.
I'm rotting in the core.

Crimson rain.
Here comes the hellish pain
And the most carnal joy
Under the crystal moon.
My raven calls.
I'll see you soon
In hellish darkest gloom.

Metaphysical Silence

No lyrics.

Awakening is Inevitable

Inside my sweetest dream
I saw your face. I saw your smile.
You took my hand and made me your bride.
Hold me tight, my tender beast.
I need you.

The white veil on my face
Looks like it's made of a spider's web.
You stick your fangs. I sigh with joy.
Hold me tight, my tender beast.
I need you. I need you.

While basking in your arms,
I touched your face, I kissed your lips.
We drank red wine, and our heartbeats synced.
Hold me tight my tender beast.
I need you.

This dream's about to end.
It's time to sway our final dance.
I see your eyes through the shroud of love.
Hold me tight, my tender beast.
I need you. I need you.

I hear the wake-up call.
I lose your face, I lose your smile.
The night has passed like sand through claws.
Who were you, my tender beast?
I need you.

I can't recall the night.
I can't recall your tender grasp.
The morning fog dispelled my dream.
But I still can feel your warmth
Who were you? Who were…
