(I Mourn that the Night Passes Us by)
|
(Lyrics by Anders Jacobsson, August 1998, edited July 1999)
|
|
Lucifer:
|
Oh angel o¡¯ my winter;
|
grieveth for the pain o¡¯ sadness.
|
A gothic embrace restores my love
|
God took away...
|
Ye romance o¡¯ forgotten times...
|
in eras without the sun.
|
An ocean o¡¯ tears I see...
|
A nightfall o¡¯ dreams caresses me.
|
|
|
Deliah:
|
Thou wert, thou art, thou shalt fore¡¯er be...
|
Ye nightshade o¡¯ thy sorrow,
|
stretching out for it¡¯s romantic rose in twilights beauty.
|
In love with ye thousands o¡¯ nights...
|
but weeping in silence... in ebony... for melancholy¡¦ forever!
|
|
|
Jesus Christ walks the Earth¡¦
|
A pitiful shade of God¡¦
|
A cruel conspiracy for the sake of slavery,
|
and He drags ¡®em down to the plague of humanity.
|
|
|
Lucifer:
|
I¡¯ve killed my holiness¡¦
|
killed my emptiness!
|
I¡¯m fallen from God¡¦
|
fallen from guilt!
|
|
|
I¡¯ve abandoned the light,
|
the light that blinded so long!
|
Free from submission,
|
but still under His spell.
|
We¡¯re in pain¡¦ pain¡¦ pain!
|
Sorrow turns to anguish¡¦
|
and I scream with hate at the tyrant above!
|
|
|
Deliah:
|
Hosanna de Profundis!
|
Dethrone the tyrant¡¦
|
Take his throne, take the throne!
|
|
|
Astaroth:
|
Gothic moon¡¦ ablazeth the eventide so sonorous,
|
ye solemn of a lovelorn gard¡¯n o¡¯ crimson souls.
|
All true beauty is sad...
|
but lost within the clenched hands of God.
|
|
|
Lucifer:
|
I mourn that the night passes us by¡¦
|
Let there be an eternal night¡¦ eternal night!
|
I mourn that the night passes us by!
|
Let there be an eternal night¡¦ eternal night!
|
|
|
..I shall call upon the dragon...!
