When our flames were lit by chaos...
|
We knew not the grip; the bondage of light
|
Then he waved his sceptre, and cosmos was formed
|
Too late we knew our freedom was lost
|
|
He blinded us; polluted our minds and forced us to drink his blood
|
|
I will show the world god's true face, I will let the thunder roar... forevermore
|
I've deceived his world, but regained paradise in the fire of my soul...
|
(But) in the death of wind I sleep, as I wail this petrified landscape
|
Chaos, anguish... an optimum affection in the clarity of certainty... so empty
|
|
[The voice of the dark souls:]
|
"Mighty lucifer - thou art the light that leads to darkness
|
AS much as I praise thee, I love thee without praise...
|
As much as I love myself, I adore thee relentlessly
|
Thou art our true father; the wine of venus, the essence of our hope"
|
|
Death, solemn death of the reaper's star, devour his legacy from afar
|
I fumble... live... I fall... die; isolated in the crowds of god... and suffering
|
In between lurks the everlasting absence... for my dark euphoria
|
Thence I am sovran created, like in heaven, myself... and I fell in fury
|
|
The indolence of solitude may drive out the soul of its sermon,
|
And memory shall be lost to the blood which hopelessly pulsates
|
|
The indolence of solitude may drive out the soul of its sermon,
|
and memory shall be lost to the blood which hopelessly pulsates...
|
...in our excruciating hearts
|
|
"Is this the region, this the soil, the clime,
|
This the seat that we must change for heav'n,
|
This mournful gloom for that celestial light?
|
Be it so, since hee who now is sovran can dispose and bid what shall be right...
|
Fardest from him is best whom reason hath equald
|
Force hath made supreme above his equals
|
Farewel happy fields where joy for ever dwells...
|
Hail horrours, hail infernal world, and thou profoundest hell
|
Receive thy new possessor...
|
One who brings a mind not to be chang'd by place or time"
|
|
In this abyss we shall be free
|
Here we shall celebrate the coming war
