about

Nightfall Doom Metal leaves its homage to the one who left this world so small for its height last July 6th, perpetuating itself through a whole work worthy of its magnitude: Ennio Morricone.
The lyrics for "The Old Man from the Wild West" are poetry written by Bela Buia de Beaurepaire Rohan, originally in Portuguese.

lyrics

The Old Man from the Wild West

Incurable scars
Haunted in the distance
As deep as the waters
Stained of an ocean
Frozen in front of the fire
That always illuminates everything
Except my heart
Flooded with torment
Lovelessness
Dismay
In the shelter of darkness

Today with great regret
At the bottom of this crater
I see all the men
That I gave in to the dust of the earth

And with pain and compassion
I'm sorry for all the birds
That from heaven I took to the ground
Wearing imposing uniform
On my brave horse
With scorn and precision

Just a kid
With compassionate eyes
Hope believer
Spared me from the atrocity
Of all hatred and revenge

Your face I never saw him
After my redemption
Only in my memory
Still alive all this time
Moved by torment
From memory in solitude

Your compassionate eyes
Perhaps they belong to whom
Believers call God
Absolute Power
Source of all knowledge
What never says goodbye

Only that child
In my hateful life
He saw me with kindness
Faith and perseverance
In a radiant life

Your face I never saw him
After my redemption
Only in my memory
Still alive all this time
Moved by torment
From memory in solitude

The mind of a destroyed old man
is capable of creating the impossible
so that he can make his existence possible.
