Elend: Weeping Nights Weeping Night Fire is my world of burning desires. The thousand sunsets are flaming Through the blood of the rainbows And the darkness of my eyes. Kiss my lips forlorn and dwell ine As I lie departed in the cathedral of your tears. And let all my people know that Hope died this night For all your sins and fears and grieves and pains. Salva me. O Solitude «O solitude, my sweetest choice... Places devoted to the night, Remote from tumult and from noise, How ye my restless thoughts delight... O solitude! Oh, how I solitude adore!» The Embrace From your embrace Where sleeps an eternal Night, Le me emerge and sing this Elendian plaint, For all the pearls have vanished that shone before. Teach me in pure melodious songs to move With serenian might These hearts who died in joy. Lord, let the soul of music tune my voice For death and despair have soiled the shores of Heaven Ah! Let the soul of music tune my voice And cast down with sin oppressed I'll be longing For your embrace. Nocturne "Lost in a dream... Drowning in the eyes Of a statue who dreamt a little dream of me... Incipiunt hic tenebrarum lectiones secundae, Cum Lucifer receptaculum noctis evasus, Demergitur in undis somniorum suorum... ...Quem statua observat. But here there is no light." Ethereal Journey Vaste oceane stellate, virgo omnis malefici, Est hospes mirus se mergens in sinum tuum. Creaturam tuam custodi, tempestate ignem arce, Quem non restinguere potes. Venit Lucifer! Venit angelus mortis! Luciferian Revolution! Far beyond the sky, Far beneath the heavens, Where once before I died, To perpetuate my hymen... ...with a star... Heading for the open sky... where the flames never dared to come... The rays of the moon linking the spheres... the molochian comets... During my ethereal journeys, With celestial glory and pride, I will celebrate the day When you become my bride. To rape the shining stars in the secrets of the dying light. The starred delights will enrapture my soul to insanity. Rapturous elevation frightening the God of Light. I tear the flowers of the sky, The firmaments of stars embosomed in His Creation, But the starlit ocean will not quench my thirst for their glowing nectar: I drained the wine of a thousand suns. Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus, Dominus deus sabaoth, Pleni sunt caelum et terra gloria tua. Hosanna in excelsis. You are the light, I am the flame, The freezing blow of my thoughts unburns me And I am dying but cannot die. The divine has deserted the altar Where your pain is multuplied in the prism Of my lust witnessed by the stars. The delight burns at its paroxism. To rape the shining stars in the secrets of the dying light. The starred delights will enrapture my soul to insanity. Rapturous elevation frightening the God of Light. I was made the Morningstar, Embowered from the night... God of Lie, I am the Prince of Darkness, the Star of Mourning Hunting the light of salvation. O Domine, Dona nobis vim, ut eum oppugnemus. In nos luminem perpetuum fundi iube. You took the fire in my eyes When I was starving of light. You take delights in my cries For I am dying but cannot die. While entrusting the flame to a celestial abyss, I will get drunk of screaming and of pain, And the silence and the night will move at last unto me. Far beyond the sky, Far beneath the heavens Where once before I died, To perpetuate my hymen... With a star! The Luciferian Revolution Flores solis, ardentes in aeternum, Ne secuti sitis fatum floris venenati... Colores delectant, inebriant odores, At siccatur sinus perpetuo lacrimando... Nam angeli cursus firmamentum lacrimarum... I depart from this world of grey to reach the red eternal. Red, the scarlet letters burn within my mind: We won't follow the Sun in its course. We will follow the Moon in its curse. Lacerate the heavens, devour the Sun, rape the light. We are waiting for an eternal night Where to keep Heaven's tears away from the eyes of the sun, Cast away from your universe of warmth, of love and shelter, The path of the angel is a firmament of tears. Luxuries of pain, lurid agony, The universe echoes the scream Of a soul overflowed with sorrow. Exhausted, let me drown in your eyes! Shatter the stars, drag out the ligth And drown it in the deepest seas of my mind; I need no more brightness: I am the night and the shadows. I am the field when pain is the seed. Flores noctis sumus atque alas pandimus In profundis tenebrarum Solus halitus emanans penna speculae, Quam expellit folium mortis. Shatter the stars, drag out the ligth And drown it in the deepest seas of my mind; I need no more brightness: I am the night and the shadows. I am the field when darkness is the seed. The golden pandaemonic silence soothes me As the streams of my satufied thoughts draw the pattern of my kingdom, Imperium infernale. But we will regain the paradise For in the east of Eden, I will shed the blood of Christ... Eden Horror atque terror Quid faciebas, malefice Die irae, dies ille Sovet saeculum in favillam. Lost in the garden, with the blood on my hands, Captive of the luminous trees, Of wisdom and of life the Holy Keepers, My face unmasked, monstrous, bloodred, Is shining through the emerald light. Numquam diruetur templum adamantinum Nos, qui olim vicimus, vincemus te iternum. I eat the deadly flowers of murderous lust, And begin to chant my freedom. Musical death, of Heaven the dirge. The Universe I master, I make mine the burning delights of life, The joy of power unbounded, Eternal Fury of celestial destruction... Lucifer, damnatus es, pro ea, quae faciebas. Persequemur te, iterum perdemus te, Inferna dulcius perfugium Quam vorago cruciatuum, In quam te praecipitabimus. Non est dominus noster, nihil potest. God is dead God is dead God is dead As I tore the shreds of this morbid dream, I abandoned my heart, And on the silent ocean of my soul, The waters were so calm one could hear the dying of light. The Silence Of Light I heal my wounds in the orchard of misery Where the fruits and the trees have turned to dust. Be merciful, my Lord. The meadows of Light and Pulchritude Are blackened and soiled by emptiness and despair. Domine, eius miserere, Lord have mercy on me. Eam libera de animis damnatorum Sine eam fulgere in refugio tenebrarum. Confutatis maledictis, Alas, that day of tears and mourning. Flammis acribus addictis. Miserere, miserere, Salva me. Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria. Hosanna in excelsis. Eternal rest give unto me, O Lord, Perpetual Light cannot shine upon the soul of the Damned. Salva me, libera me. Ille sanguis, ille cruor. Lumen moritur. Numquam lumen moritur! Numquam! Hosanna in excelsis. Eternal rest given unto me, O Lord, Because Thou art merciful. Non dono tibi soporem aeternum, Nam misericors sum. Dancing Under The Closed Eyes Of Paradise SOPOR AETERNUS... O mortis secretum, ubi finis nervorum? O funeris algor, ubi sonus somniorum? The insane wine of the night misled my soul At the confluence of dream and of pain... We dance under the closed eyes of paradise, And our eyes tear the insane space of the light. Saltemus sub oculis coniventibus paradisi! The voilence of the winter moon spreads a mantle Of cold icy pain over my petrified landscape. Seized by the freezing frosts of the diabolic winter, Our hearts breathe the winds of sadness. Saliamus, saliamus aeterno, Saltemus, saltatum mortis! Saliamus, saliamus! But what is in my heart can only be read by the winds That gathered my words of pain. The veil of the nigth falls at your feet Revealing the views of the fiery sky. Kyrie eleison. The gentle sapphirian night wrapped me in its maternal warmth And her hair, studded with stars, had a scent of sensuality As I lay embraced in her sweet caress. How tender is the nigth in her amorous delights. Where are the flowers I gave you, my love? The amaranth, the rose and the lily. Buried within the glacial vault of my thoughts, Take from me this fading breath, Enfold me in your veil of darkness To celebrate the reign of black eternal night. And in the snows, glittering in the cold fragile moonlight, Appeared the incandescent flowers... The blood of angels, Said one of our round. "Our blood". We dance... ...and the blowing of the winds is our only music, We dance. Les Ténèbres Du Dehors Lamentorum tuorum error cordes nostra refrigerat, Lacrimarum tuarum tener ros adustiones mitigat... Stella diuma, caelum tuam lucem continere non potest... As I entered the limbs of solitude, Cum Lucifer paulatim penetraret Cum penetrares sinum tenebrarum The darkness grew deep inside me In simun limborum solitudine, Reflected in the eyes of the statue Eum tenebrae impleverunt Lux te reliquit Of what I once was and no more shall be. Atque chaos interius astri morientis In oculis statuae angelicae repercussum...
