“Fading” is the new chapter of Christine Plays Viola: the change and the evolution of the sounds have always been the fundamental principles of the band’s musical proposal. Also in this fourth album, the CPV present a more intimate work, in which the use of less angular sounds is evident, sometimes more acoustic than in the past but without ever distorting the imprinting matured by the band from its debut until today.

The Earth Is Definitely Doomed
The Earth Is Definitely Doomed
And our story begins... when a supreme apathy reigns where human greed outlines A planet definitely doomed There are no more resources nobody fights in war all men deny the evidence of serious problems inside when life in all the seas of the earth died out, men decreed that had come for humanity the end until some of them turned to look at the boundless ocean above their heads, damaging themselves for their foolishness (shown), they found there a new hope gritting their teeth, with so much strength these men embarked towards the last sea: the "infinite space" many laughed at them, judging them as fools pointing out with scorn and hate, who left for an impossible fantastic dream, the last great heroes 2 9 7 7 2 9 7 7 And our story begins... when a supreme apathy reigns where human greed outlines A planet definitely doomed There are no more resources nobody fights in war all men deny the evidence of serious problems inside A planet definitely doomed A planet definitely doomed A planet definitely doomed A planet definitely doomed 2 9 7 7Suicidal Cabaret
Suicidal Cabaret
After an exhausting wait we are ready to open the gates people sit in the hall, (rather) agitated and unaware The show is about to begin behind the curtain the actors squirm a sequence of maidens with in hand violin bows invades the stage even before astonished people understand, here the torment takes shape they begin to cut their veins now pouring the blood all over the floor and horrified everyone tries to escape but Skeletons guardian close all the gates Suicidal cabaret Suicidal cabaret Suicidal cabaret Suicidal cabaret Suicidal cabaret Suicidal cabaret over the heads tightrope walkers appear balanced on, a red-hot wire blindfolded at every step into the void they fall, pouring the bowels inhuman screams surround the room now death is the only thing that everyone wants a condemnation will fall on their fate and each of them will be blinded by madness Suicidal cabaret Suicidal cabaret Suicidal cabaret Suicidal cabaret Suicidal cabaret Suicidal cabaretShowdown at the mirror
Showdown at the mirror
After so much wandering in search of pleasure Of living intensely something that I can't explain Suddenly I find myself in front of a mirror Lost in the shadows of remorse that lead me away...far Any walk on by A descent into the hell of my victims Fragile in my mind everything with pain is faded Diving in throat of anger I see so clearly bloodstained illusions growing along my steps Subjected to a higher order of terrible cruelty A desolate moor surfaces in desperate cry...of my bride Any walk on by A descent into the hell of my victims Fragile in my mind everything with pain is faded Is still burning here the flame In the eyes of those who played this game In front of a mirror (the) showdown has taken place All the sins of your dear love dig so deeply in your battered heart one last breath while every noise dies all aroundStill
Still
I see today through your eyes, the world seems so far away, rippled waters of green lakes ,are your kisses on my lips, rippled waters keep me still we're dancing to the blowin' wind and all your whispers surrond me, my deepest thoughts are your cure i feel my wishes fade in you rippled waters keep me still Cause I Know there's nothing left but rain now rain now and my life's just greydark rain now rain now if you try to leave me you'll see rain now rain now and my life's just greydark rain now rain now I see today through your eyes myself a ghost lost far away rippled waters of cold lakes are your kisses on my lips, rippled waters keep me still you're turning your back on me now I'll never see you this way again my deepest thoughts are your cure I feel my wishes fade in you rippled waters keep me still Cause I Know there's nothing left but rain now rain now and my life's just greydark rain now rain now can we try to leave this ill wind rain now rain now and my life's just greydark rain now rain now Cause if you try to leave me you'll see rain now can we try to leave this ill wind rain rain nowThrough The Night
Through The Night
When I can follow the waves My head rolls over the night And I follow the waves, together we follow the waves, somehow through the night And I follow the waves, together we follow the waves, somehow through the night Each one is carried away along by the wake of vibes Everything is going black and we begin to dance And I follow the waves, together we follow the waves, somehow through the night And I follow the waves, together we follow the waves, somehow through the night And I follow the waves, together we follow the waves, somehow through the night Each one is carried away along by the wake of vibes Everything is going black and we begin to dance Come through the night Come through, come throughRun
Run
Everybody sees in this race what they want Everybody keeps a secret of the risk aware Shrewd balancer(tightrope) on a sharp blade challenges himself Run Run Running strong for killing time Run Run Running strong for free your mind Bring your pride quickly to the point of no return Let your body follow the strength of despair...running...running...running Run Run Running strong for killing time Run Run Running strong for free your mind Run Run Running strong for killing time Run Run Running strong for free your mind You must never look back at what you've been Take around, and take around, take around whoever judged you a liar Take around, and take around, take around who said you're afraid of your fate Run Run Running strong for killing time Run Run Running strong for free your mind Run Run Running strong for killing time Run Run Running strong for free your mindIn the dark
In the dark
In the dark in the dark my friends I find a support for my pain while the tears cover my face I apologize to all my friends when I close myself in a silence that makes you sad When it seems that I'm in a grave I follow every way to expiate all my blames to believe in a soul to save when the cold still penetrates and all around is so bare I resort to my faith to all my prayers to save When the light begins to fade In depth I invoke your name to put the fire in my veins and to return to live again And I don't fall without getting up again struggling with myself every day to reach the goal in every wayI Belong
I Belong
One step away from nothing frightened by the arrival of the night in the throes of a panic attack, illumination After years spent fighting the clouds that cloud my mind somewhere in this firmament, I belong I can believe in a morning that my eyes could't see from long long time I can find the answers to care inner self and not to fall away I can reach the rainbow following the traces of a lonesome child I can flip the hourglass, to bury the ghosts under grains of sand From anguish to yearning of a spirit that echoes in the sky with my fingertips I touch my dawn To the discovery of meaning disturbed by the wounds of the soul to a blaze of emotions, now I belong I can believe in a morning that my eyes could't see from long long time I can find the answers to care inner self and not to fall away I can reach the rainbow following the traces of a lonesome child I can flip the hourglass, to bury the ghosts under grains of sand Protect me with your love oh my sweet star, call with your name all the wonders around Teach me to keep away from relapse, give me the scent of the most beautiful daysYou're No One
You're No One
I'm not afraid to go back to this place where for years you killed me I fearless dare...I fearless dare... You All the walls of the room are bare while once they were full of dreams just my crying to dig inside the wounded pride in a perverse endgame nothing will prevent the clash between two souls of the same person I fearless dare...I fearless dare... You I give you pictures of broken ties they will burn with your deceptions a pocket full of anxiety use it 'cause you're in danger a bed of thorns where to rest the limbs that fall apart in the moonlight I fearless dare...I fearless dare... You Move on Move on you're no one Move on Move on you're no one Move on Move on you're no one to fear I want to dare... You Now by silent screams surrounded your freedom lies Move on Move on you're no one Now by silent screams surrounded your freedom lies
