Story Behind The Song

The original lyrics are in medieval galego-portuguese language, which proves that cynisism wasn't invented yesterday.

Song Description

The confession of someone addicted to strong feelings and emotional power, time after time falling under the spell of a new infatuation and ending up feeling empty and unable to experience love and pleasure anymore.

Lyrics

Fatal Spell

Chaos is coming, the fatal spell,
Vengeance is knocking on my door,
The spring is ringing it?s eternal bell,
But nothing brings joy any more?

Sometimes the sirens stole my sleep
Sometimes my mind, but oh what fun !
The number of the hearts I won !
The sweetness of distress so deep !
How could I know what I had done!
But now I know what I have done!

Cast the fatal spell again,
The rule behind the rule of men?
Cast the fatal spell again,
The rule behind the rule of men?

The more I played, the more they fell,
The more they fell, the less I loved,
Just when I thought that I could have it all,
Just when I thought that I could get it all !
The truth descended on me from above !

Cast the fatal spell again,
The rule behind the rule of men?
Cast the fatal spell again,
The rule behind the rule of men?
Cast the fatal spell again,
The rule behind the rule of men?

Fatal,
Sweet fatal spell

And with each fading fantasy
I felt as empty as a shell,
Is there no other destiny ?
Somebody?s always casting their spell,
The long winding road straight to hell
The long winding road straight to hell

Cast the fatal spell again,
The rule behind the rule of men?
Cast the fatal spell again,
The rule behind the rule of men?

Mercy, let my people go,
They who know not what I know
This sad justice I foretell
For all like me who can?t escape the fatal spell
