We are writing the year 1543 AD, the time the black plaque struck
Agen, here Michael Nostradamus lived with his wife and two children.
He confidently began to treat his felow citizens, but - unfortunately - was
not able to save his family from his old enemy...
The final victory
Has crushed the autumn silence
The vinal victory
Has crushed the autumn silence
Mortius, domine, lux perpetua luceat
Mortius, domine, lux perpetua luceat
Mortius, domine
Viju svet v notschi tumanoi
Ne prognat mne prisrak strany
Svet Negasnusei svetschi
Gorit, Gorit v notschi
So God has found him weeping
And wrath flickered deep withing His eyes
So thy shalt suffer
As long ago the one's been crucified
The keeper of the Lord's mark
Is rising up with this ability
Heavenly damnation
Nowadays they are called
"Progressive Wars"
So seen near ARABIA
CROATIA and BOSNIA
Politicians preach with their greatest pride
The last thing we need is a nuclear Suicide!
Aides moi...
Oh, il est tombe! Mais, qu'est-ce qu'il a?
Saint vierge! Au secours!
Venez! Venez! Venez!
C'est la peste! C'est la peste!
Sauve qui peut! Sauve qui peut!
Dominus vobiscum
Et cum spiritu tuo. Quid est, quod vis?
Iter! Claudite fenestras et portas! Nunc manus
Dei punientis pestilentiam etiam
Agentem apportavit!
Running away in the autumn rain
Did you ever see a little child sleeping?
"To be near them will my sorrow drain..."
Suddenly I stocked, their bodies weren't breathing anymore
And I couln't help!
They captured my heart with their sorrow... it grows
Due to the ones who fear
Dance in the morninglight
Due to the ones who fear
Slaves to this innocent might
Carrying away the ones I love
Folden hands, they have been blessed
Now I feel angry 'bout the ones above
Just no warning, no sign
Hey, yes, I fear!
And I just really feel darkness inside
Lost without a chance to hide
Due to the ones who fear
Dance in the morninglight
Due to the ones who fear
Slaves to this innocent might
See me down
Down on the ground
Hoping that nobody hears
The sound of this falling tears
Endless bleeding
Hoping that nobody sees
What you did to me!
Endless weeping
Hoping that nobody hears
The sound of this falling tears
Endless mourning
hoping that nobody knows
[Instrumental]
(Adesso sono qui.)
An old dungeon hidden from all the light
Thirteen candles enlighten the dark
Shadows are playing their games on the wall
And a shimmering glow fills the arch
Now, as night steps ASIDE, and a new dawn will break
Silently a new age of science awakes
Old theory that has been wrong
Power of the universe
Will take me to the place where I belong
Through the CLOUDS of lies and fear
In silent moments it comes near:
In my deepest hour of darkness
They will shine.
(feel my scorn)
endlessly.
(The sword that killed the unicorn)
Splenderanno . per aspera ad astra
His theories and knowledge
Mean danger in these times
And those accused of heresy
Will not longer be alive
Hide, hide your secrets well
For in your darkest hour you should dwell
(Adesso sono qui.)
An old table covered with parchments and rolls
The great one has children of four
Callisto, Europa, Ganymed e Io
The bright universe to adore
Old theory that has been wrong
Power of the universe
Will take me to the place where I belong
Through the CLOUDS of lies and fear
In silent moments it comes near:
In my deepest hour of darkness
They will shine.
(feel my scorn)
endlessly.
(The sword that killed the unicorn)
All'alba, prima che il sole sorgesse
e gli uccelli cantassero la loro dolce canzone
La donna del troll della montagna con lingua falsa
ed ingannevole propose al signore:
Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig mi vorrai sposare
Per tutto quello che io dolcemente ti darò?
Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no
Farai così o no?
Ti darò i dodici mulini
che stanno tra Tillo e Terno
le macine sono fatte del più rosso rame
e le ruote sono cariche d'argento
Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig mi vorrai sposare
per tutto quello che io dolcemente ti darò?
Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no
Farai così o no?
Se tu fossi una donna cristiana
riceverei volentieri regali così,
ma io so che sei il peggiore troll della montagna
figlio degli spiriti maligni e del demonio.
Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig mi vorrai sposare
per tutto quello che io dolcemente ti darà?
Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no
[Instrumental]
(At The Beginning Is Death)
(Music: A. Nasseri / Lyrics: A. Nasseri)
Tremens factus sum ego (I shake because of the facts)
Et timeo (and I'm scared)
Dum discussio (while I talk)
Venerit at que ventura ira (it will come to the upcoming wrath)
Et timeo (and I'm scared)
Dum discussio (while I talk)
Venerit at que ventura ira (it will come to the upcoming wrath)
Herbei, ihr Leut' - das Fest beginnt (come run up you people, the celebration starts)
Nehmt Platz auf besten Rängen (take your seats on best places)
Seht, wie der flehend Mann dort kniet (see how the begging man kneels there)
Seht den Ketzer, ich sag, er soll brennen heut' Nacht (see the heretic, tonight he shall burn I say)
Soll ihn spür'n, den Tod, er kommt langsam und lacht ((he) should feel death, it comes slowly and laughs)
Und als die Töchter des Teufels er nennt (and as he tells about Devil's daughters)
Die Sense den Faden des Lebens zertrennt (the scythe severs the thread of life)
Und als sein letzter Schrei erstirbt (and when his final scream dies)
Die Flammen ihn verschlingen (flames consume him)
Und Kindesweinen bricht die Still... (children's crying breaks the silence...)
Seht zur Asche ward er, der die Lügen erzählt (see to ashes he went who told those lies)
Im Zeichen des Kreuzes (under the sign of the cross)
Hat er seinen Tod selbst gewählt (he chose his death himself)
Doch unsere Seelen sind rein... (but our souls are pure...)
Doch unsere Seelen sind rein... (but our souls are pure...)
Schenkt aus den Wein! (pour out the wine)
Profundis Clamavi (endlessly we cry out)
And as the dark procession then has been fulfilled
For their god - a sacrifice - his blood was spilled
So Death took him to mother's chest
Where he may rest...
And the weather says, it's springtime
See the leafs of darkest green
And his screams hall in the nightly breeze
As the darkened sorrows feels
Dark are all the autumn nights
Where mind and stars unite
Knowing forbidden wisdom
And all the things he sees
Collected in a chamber
Secrets of astronomy
The rage in their eyes
Torches in their hands
And the power of the cross
Bringing fear to all the land
...And darkness will come to us all!
Profundis Clamavi! (endlessly we cry out)
And as the dark procession...
One of man's darkest chapter, it has just begun
In the sign of the cross they rise
It's the epoch of the inquisition
Too many brothers and sisters have died...
...left with no life inside to be awakened
They will never see the morning sun again
Hypocrisy killed the forsakened
Who thought, faith would be their only friend
Faith would be their only friend
The scenery shows the ashes of some who tried to refuse
Rising smoke becomes one with the dim light of the pale and lurid moon
Can dark clouds hide the hidden from the mighty eye of god?
Using his name on the pretext of deciding who's allowed to live...
and who's not!
(It's a very dark night, nobody outside...
Silence wrapps up the land, as suddenly
Hoof beats destroy all sleep
In a very dark night...)
Who's allowed to live... and who's not!
From high above the Lord silently watches and grieves
And sadness rises from his inner deep
"For thou, my son hath been crucified..."
All the angels laid down their trumpets and cried
"One shalt be sent to foresee mankind's death!
Rain shalt be my tears and thunder my wrath!"
Sitting on his throne, left of all hope he once kept
On the day, as heaven wept
Out beneath the nightly sky
Squat down on the ground
His breath warms up the wintry air
The truth hurts, that he found
He might be the chisen one
The one, allowed to see
God's eye for the human race
That ends in misery
Nobody knows...
That it is real, nobody knows... that it is real!
It's so powerful to foresee
With diving astronomy
The light inside the crystal soul
Protecs me from the wintry coldness
But a dark might is on the lead
In the woods we met you, stranger
And though we don't know your face
Taken your fiddle, come on over
Sit down 'round the fireplace
Watch the flames are dancing higher
They are longing for the sky
heroes now will be awaken
Elder stories let their spirits fly
Watch the flames are dancing higher
They are longing for the sky
heroes now will be awaken
Elder stories let their spirits fly
In the woods we met you, stranger
Now it's time to say goodbye
Like all the stars that lead the blind
We're hiding with the morningrise
Hiding with the morningrise
As dawn is weaving between fallen autumn leaves
The poor ones gather under naked trees
Asking how to survive, 'cause the winter breaks
And medieval coldness now from a deep sleep awakes
Libera me domine de morte, aetema in die illa tremenda
It's December, 14th 1503, as the ones above stop their mourning
As the one arrived - selected to foresee -
somethinmg changed without a warning!
Es ward geboren in des Christengottes Zeit
Ein Bub - so die Legende - mit des Schepfer's Fohigkeit
Zu sehen, was sein wird, im verborgenen, unerkannt
Denn der mit dem Leumund des Ketzers ward Effentlich verbrannt
Die Hand, die - geifend nach dem Schenen - blutet von der Rose Dorn
Der Trieb der Menschen Habgier, bestraft durch Gottes Zorn
Er, der Spiegel eurer Seele, spert die Trauer, Kummer, Gram
"A teardrop falls down from eyelash
The abusion has begun
Say, is this the way YOU love me?
All my might is gone...
If your eyes are blind, I'll tell you
I am one of the human race
Don't you see that wounds of violence
Slowly leave their trace?"
Help? From neighbours?
No chance: they ignore
Don't dare to discover
A little boy must suffer
Listen...
"You're scum since your day of birth!"
- Hammered in his head -
Receiver of second-hand emotions
Degraded in slow motion
It's an unforgivable crime
What they're doing to their child
Did you ever hear about the right to live?
Did you ever see:
You are dangerously sick?
And you never learned
Controlling your frustrations
Exit: Mind Mutilation
Listen...
After hours of heaviest violence
A little body had no chance
An explosion of brutality
Is the sad reality
Can't you see, your child is dead?
To the most around they seemed to be
A family in harmony
One point others couldn't see:
They're stricken by brutality...
Help? From neighbours?
No chance: they ignore
Don't dare to discover
Hostem repellas eternus
Pacemque dones et protinus
Ductore sic de praevio
Vitemus omne noxium
A sream deep in the night
As the firstborn awakes with the sign
A little dreamer... but are dreams always to define?
"Do not fear, my son! Awake the dragon inside
For he may guide you, being the worlds hidden eye
Through a dark time, when mankind is bleeding within
Oh little dreamer..."
Hostem repellas eternus
Pacemque dones et protinus
Ductore sic de praevio
Vitemus omne noxium
Analyzing the midnight sky
And in the early morninglight
He just feels the warming heart
Beating in his head
To declare the reasen why
Should I survive this sadness
"God reality back in my mind" - beating in his head
It's a very dark night
Nobody outside
Silence wraps up the land as suddenly:
Hoof beats destroy all sleep
And a wooden coach loaded with innocent ones
Accused and sentenced, their end has begun
And their eyes can't cover their fear... can't cover their fear
And he thinks he must be dreaming
Lifts up his head, sees the sky is gleaming
Heaven burns as red as blood
And all they have caught, they won't return
The sky reflects, from superstition they burn
When will they ever learn... They never return!
Ein drohendes Pochen in tiefschwarzer Nacht
In Traumen geseh'n und nun wahrgemacht
Die Diener der Kirche sind hier, sie zu holen
"Brennen sollst du mein Kind! - Der Herr hat's befohlen!"
Do not fear my son! Awake the dragon inside
For he may guide you, being the worlds hidden eye
Als am Pfahl sie brennt, nun schwarz ist ihr rotes Haar
Niemand mehr zweifelt, dab des Teufel's Weib sie war
Geschlagen, getreten, bespuckt und belacht
Die Flammen dem Leiden ein Ende gemacht
A scream deep in the night
As the firstborn awakes with the sign
A little dreamer... but are dreams always to define?
Die Flammen dem Leiden ein Ende gemacht
Ein Ende gemacht
As the evining breaks
The night awakes
And the land is mournfully wrapped in silence
Sorrow last
And remains the past
cause this will be my ending day
Then the moonlight dies
And torches rise
See the crowd longing for the ritual burning
Holy rimes, as the churchbells chime
cause this will be my ending day
Silent thief
Take me away
Let my soul rest in the realm of fairytales
And as the fire enlightens the dark
I see the face bewildered with guilt
An nobody's speaking a word
And the dark night enters
See the soul that's coming out of darkness into light
Pictures, I can't fight
Appearing in front of my eyes
Like silhouettes in the night
Like they give bread to the beggars
They get ready for the feast
Cruelty absorbed by their eyes
Within this midwinters breeze
Silent thief
Take me away
Let my soul rest in the realm of fairytales
And as the fire enlightens the dark
I see the face bewildered with guilt
An nobody's speaking a word
And the dark night enters
Suffering dementia
Unchains the secret's bearer
Unholy visions "God forgive me!"
Are coming nearer - coming nearer, Amen!
Lux perpetua, domine
Dementia slowly unlightens the mind
And satan steals the morninglight
Domine
Viju svet V notschi tumanoi
Ne prognat mne prisrak strany
Svet Negasnusei svetschi
Gorit, Gorit V notschi
Svet Negasnusei svetschi
Gorit, Gorit V notschi
So God has found him weeping
And wrath flickered deep withing His eyes
So thy shalt suffer
As long ago the one's been crucified
The keeper of the Lord's mark
Is rising up with this ability
Heavenly damnation
So thou shalt trust the seer...
Svet Negasnusei svetschi
Born through astral constellation
Those pictures are now getting clearer
Inside his head
And sent by the highest god
They start to rise from the deepest depth
"My King - dead - no!!!
Dying by the lance... so slow..."
He wipes the tears
Away, and tries to think
As clear as the falling rain
But his hope begins to sink
...down to this point
Do you fear? Yes you do, and you always will!
The bleeding of another part
Crawls into your mind and still...
Es kam zu erinnern
An des Menschen Bube
Die Maske des Vogels
Nickt huhnisch zum Grube
In Schwarz gehollt
Auf schwarzem Rosse getragen
Die Menschheit zu knechten
Kam der Herr der Plagen
Pest regiert mit strafender Hand
und Leichen bedecken das Land... das Land
Out of the sorcerer's chamber?
Or do they come straight from the hands of the goal?
This roses' leaves seem to be magic
And saved all the poor population below
A sweet girl of eleven years
Within her brain: The darkest fear
caught by absolute disaster
Her virginity - lost to the own father
There he comes with alcoholic breath
Now her mind is fallen, emotions are dead
Cold by routine she's accepting her fate
Which she must endure since her age of 8
People close their ears
And they close their eyes
They're only open for a moment
When somebody has died
The weak, little victims have no voice
And falling tears don't make a noise
How long does it take
'til a bit of compassion awakes
Something... disgusting!
Covered as a harmless game
Abnormality is reflecting
In all the things that happen
To other girls with different names
- Left without being protected -
"Hey, your daddy is doing a crime
To you and your little mind
A defect will always be
In your mental factory"
Locked inside the darkend room
As the horror passed her by...
The kitchen - place for the next rape
In despair she reaches the butcher-knife
And she refuses doing that once again
At a certain point of panic she cuts away
His little friend!
Justice now is sealed
But do you think now she is healed?
You can give her shelter
You can hold her tight
But you can't take away this horrible
frigth
When memories of the past appear
The murmur grows - until they rage
It is not a scenery
At this market-place in middle-ages
Somebody - in the crowd -
Speaks a prayer
Hundred burning torches rise
In their light appears the silhouette
Of a mighty Funeral pile
Headling with some unknown herbs
- Rising suspicion -
"Death" - they say -
"is what she deserves!"
- An innocent victim -
"Instruments of torture
will tell us the truth!"
And it feels like
Oooohhh...
"I'm representing the church
Somebody said, in you might lurk
Things - still not seen by human eyes
Is is dark magic, you are practicing?"
After there are no tears left
And they thought, they'd feaced the fact
"Nothing is as it should be
You're accused of witchery!"
"If there is a creator
If there is a god..
You will pay for all the dead
There's punishment above!
And somebody outside
this chamber of horror
Knows my fear, knows my sorrow
YOU preach, how could I learn?
'cause in this faith is
CHARITY ABSURD!"
After this words wer spoken
The cowd wants to see her die
The way to the confessor
Will it be the last one in her life?
The murmur grows - until they rage
And somebody speaks a prayer
Running away in the autumn rain
Did you ever see a little child sleeping?
"To be near them will my sorrow drain..."
Suddenly I stocked, their bodies weren't breathing anymore
And I couln't help!
They captured my heart with their sorrow... it grows
Due to the ones who fear
Dance in the morninglight
Due to the ones who fear
Slaves to this innocent might
Due to the ones who fear
Dance in the morninglight
Due to the ones who fear
Slaves to this innocent might
Carrying away the ones I love
Folden hands, they have been blessed
Now I feel angry 'bout the ones above
Just no warning, no sign
Hey, yes, I fear!
And I just really feel darkness inside
Lost without a chance to hide
Due to the ones who fear
Dance in the morninglight
Due to the ones who fear
Slaves to this innocent might
See me down
Down on the ground
Hoping that nobody hears
The sound of this falling tears
Endless bleeding
Hoping that nobody sees
What you did to me!
Endless weeping
Hoping that nobody hears
The sound of this falling tears
Endless mourning
hoping that nobody knows
Born through astral constellation
Those pictures are now getting clearer
Inside his head
And sent by the highest god
They start to rise from the deepest depth
"My King - dead - no!!!!!
Dying by the lance... so slow..."
He wipes the tears
Away, and tries to think
As clear as the falling rain
But his hope begins to sink
But his hope begins to sink...
.. down to this point
Do you fear? Yes you do, and you always will!
The bleeding of another part
Crawls into your mind and still...

Awaking the Centuries
In the books of what will be
Written by the demon lord?
Never lift your head up to the east
'cause darkness wakes the best!
Der Kerzen Schein
Er leuchtet fahl
Als das Sonnenlicht er stahl
Und nur das gro_e Himmelszelt
Bezeugt das Ende dieser Welt
So feed the spark
Welcome to the land of dark
Death in all the centuries is what I left behind
Take my hand
Forgotten in the promised land
Death in all the centuries is what I left behind
The knowledge, brought to the world
Is growing with a bitter taste
In a dream I saw things that will be
Centuries away
Des Mondes Schein
Er leuchtet fahl
Das Herz der Finsternis er stahl
Nun glei_end Lichte ihn umgibt
Und doch des Menschen Hoffnung siegt...?
So feed the spark
Welcome to the land of dark
Death in all the centuries is what I left behind
Take my hand
Forgotten in the promised land
Death in all the centuries is what I left behind
The night when evil steps out of the dark
And the cross is rising again
And fires are keeping the light
Burn, my friend...
And the sign of humanity is burning tonight
I can't escape from this ritual silence
Humanity's burning tonight
When I open my eyes
I see soldiers in the fields
Dead bodies on the ground
There are children inbetween
Explosions shock the land
And the evil shows its face
The one called Hister rises
This is the fall of grace...
Beast ferocious from hunger will swim across rivers
The greater part of the region will be against the Hister
The great one will cause it to be dragged in an iron cage
When the German child will obcserve nothing
In the books of what will be
Written by the demon lord?
Never lift your head up to the east
'cause darkness wakes the best!
Der Kerzen Schein
Er leuchtet fahl
Als das Sonnenlicht er stahl

Take my hand
Forgotten in the promised land

Forgotten in the promised land
Death in all the centuries is what I left behind
And the sign of humanity is burning tonight
I can't escape from this ritual silence
And Michael Nostradamus began to wander
through Europe for the next sixyears, where
he first became aware the awakening of
his prophetic powers
So god has found him weeping
And weath flickered deep withis his eyes
For thy shalt suffer
As long ago...
Sadness comes from deep inside
There are so many shades of winter
His breath warms up the wintry air
Punishment to all the sinners
Demenia slowly unlightnes the mind...
So god has found him weeping
And wrath flickered deep withis his eyes
For thy shalt suffer
As long ago...
Your wish shalt be denied...
So do you hear the echoes of the ones that'll slowly die?
Prophecy fulfilled
And torture comes at midnight
A dark sign's burning brighter than the light
So do you hear the echoes...?
Out beneath the nightly sky
Squat down on the ground
His breath warms up the wintry air
The truth hurts, that he found
He might be the chisen one
The one, allowed to see
God's eye for the human race
That ends in misery
Nobody knows...
In the woods we met you, stranger
And though we don't know your face
Taken your fiddle, come on over
Sit down 'round the fireplace
Watch the flames are dancing higher
They are longing for the sky
heroes now will be awaken
Elder stories let their spirits fly
In the woods we met you, stranger
Now it's time to say goodbye
Like all the stars that lead the blind
We're hiding with the morningrise
Their horses heavy
In clad and chain armor
March into battle
Man against man
Sword against sword
Hammer and axe against shield
Let the banners fly high
Mortal screams pierce the cold air
As steel meets flesh and the strong rule the weak
And then, the great rains set in
And but for a moment it seemed
As the rose did nearly wither
The five ones might have failed
Then hearts would turn to iron
And gradual night'd prevail
Fear did wrap the land
The mighty mourning bells are stirred
And northern winds carry their screams
To a place they'll never be heard
Beneath a moonless sky
Within the candles light
Runestones whitnessed a thousand years
Archaic rites
Of taken lifes
Let the circle be the gate!
Secret rhymes
A parchment full of signs
Written in the book, so long ago
Gives mortal power to the ones defiled
Withered life
Becomes revived
Let the circle be... the gate!
Als des Nordwinds schaurig Flüstern
Hüllt wie Schatten ein mein Herz
Kälte längst erfror'ner Tränen
Welch entrissen mir mit Schmerz
Quantus tremor est futurus
Quando Judex est venturus
Cuncta stricte discussurus
As the clouds divide
And starlight falls
On sacred grounds
The eternal call
Now see the light
As the druids rise
To the one that has been born
With the hidden mark of the unicorn
As sigh of those who descent from
royal blood
For thou shalt ride, do never rest
And search the beast that
keeps the magic chest
Unleash the secret that slumbers
In the dark
Reveal the hidden mark!
As the moons last rays
Slowly fade away
Where the peeks meet the
sky horizon is in flames
Clouded seas and gusty trees
Let the circle be the gate
At the awaking of the sun
The ritual is done
Another place, another time
The galleon will rise again
The druids' bane slumbers again
Let the circle be the gate
Als des Nordwinds schaurig Flüstern
Hüllt wie Schatten ein mein Herz
Kälte längst erfror'ner Tränen
Welch entrissen mir mit Schmerz
Quantus tremor est futurus
Quando Judex est venturus
Cuncta stricte discussurus
As the clouds divide
And starlight falls
On sacred grounds
The eternal call
Now see the light
All'alba, prima che il sole sorgesse
e gli uccelli cantassero la loro dolce canzone
La donna del troll della montagna con lingua falsa
ed ingannevole propose al signore:
Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig mi vorrai sposare
Per tutto quello che io dolcemente ti darò?
Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no
Farai così o no?
Ti darò i dodici mulini
che stanno tra Tillo e Terno
le macine sono fatte del più rosso rame
e le ruote sono cariche d'argento
Herr Mannelig, Herr Mannelig mi vorrai sposare
per tutto quello che io dolcemente ti darò?
Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no
Farai così o no?
Se tu fossi una donna cristiana
riceverei volentieri regali così,
ma io so che sei il peggiore troll della montagna
figlio degli spiriti maligni e del demonio.

per tutto quello che io dolcemente ti darò?
Se vorrai, rispondi solo si o no
Requiem eternam
Et dona eis domine
Ride, ride, over the land
Sorrow comes without a waring, dear
And do never start to sacrifice your faith
They, they betray
And poisoned voices creep into your mind
For this will be their final stand
Ride, ride over the land!
Outside - a light!
He awakes in the deep of a stormy night
They have come to get him now
A feast for the raging crowed
With torches still alight
Supressed by a might divine
"Your science of the dark"
Revoke what has been told
Or at the break of dawn you will feel the holy spark
Of a might divine
La falce della luna é in lutto questa notte
"Inside - I cry
All I trusted in should die?"
An instrument to ship the blind
Through the sea of ancient times
Of a might divine
Now the night breaks
And the final trial awakes
Pressure's getting more and more
Betrayed - all I was living for
Of a might divine
Supressed by a might divine
"Your science of the dark"
Revoke what has been told
Or at the break of dawn you will feel the holy spark
Of a might divine
La falce della luna é in lutto questa notte
Requiem eternam
Tonto el que no entienda
Cuenta una leyenda
Que una hembra gitana
Conjuro a la luna hasta el amanecer
Llorando pedia
Al llegar el dia
Desposar un calé
Tendras a tu hombre piel morena
Desde el cielo hablo la luna llena
Pero a cambio quiero
El hijo primero
Que le engendres a el
Que quien su hijo inmola
Para no estar sola
Poco le iba a querer
[Chorus]
Luna quieres ser madre
Y no encuentras querer
Que te haga mujer
Dime luna de plata
Que pretendes hacer
Con un niño de piel
Hijo de la luna
De padre canela nacio un niño
Blanco como el lomo de un armiño
Con los ojos grises
En vez de aceituna
Niño albino de luna
Maldita su estampa
Este hijo es de un payo
Y yo no me lo cayo
[Chorus]
Gitano al creerse deshonrado
Se fue a su mujer cuchillo en mano
¯de quien es el hijo?
Me has engaño fijo
Y de muerte la hirio
Luego se hizo al monte
Con el niño en brazos
Y alli le abandono
[Chorus]
Y en las noches que haya luna llena
Sera porque el niño este de buenas
Y si el niño llora
Menguara la luna
Para hacerle una cuna
Y si el niño llora
Menguara la luna
So we're all the letters
In a mystical tale
While the hours of my kingdom
Do rapidly fade
Deep clouds bear thunder
Like a dark poem's rhyme
And now is the dawn of all times
Concealed behind old castle walls
Will the grim one return, will Ithiria fall?
"Bring me the seer, may true words he speak"
As nightfall has murdered
the last rays of light
Oh god, don't let my heart be weak tonight
Now as morning nears
Farewell they fear
There is sadness in her eyes
Out on misty ground, as all gathered 'round
And their banners reach the sky
I hope you don't fear
Neither do I
Bring me my sword
And kiss me goodbye
This time I hold you
Here in my arms
Will be the last
When Ithiria falls
When Ithiria falls
3000 men scattered at
the first break of dawn
"Now unleash the dragon
to lead me on"
His wings shall bring
storm to these bloodred skies
And fear will be brought
by the thunderous hooves
Oh horses so heavy, now ride
Now ride!
Now as morning nears
Farewell they fear
There is sadness in her eyes
Out on misty ground (Affondate la)
As all gathered 'round (In quest'era)
And their banners reach the sky
(Unitevi tutti!)
Unitevi tutti
In questa era
Senza timore
Affondate la lancia
In terra santa
I hope you don't fear
Neither do I
Bring me my sword
And kiss me goodbye
This time I hold you
Here in my arms
Will be the last
When Ithiria falls
When Ithiria falls
Now as morning nears
Farewell she fears
There is anger in their eyes
Out on misty ground
As all gathered 'round
And their banners reach the sky
Unitevi tutti
In questa era
Senza timore
Affondate la lancia
It had already become day as he opened the big wooden door
and stepped out of the shadows.
The sun had shown behind the eastern forest,
bright and warm in a cloudless sky.
As his eyes closed,
he slowly raised his head.
Gently, the morning wind caressed his face
and rustled through his long hair
The chatter of the birds had become one with the whispers of
the black elders,
melding with the rhythmic babbling of the little brook,
which wound its way to the distance behind the humble grange.
But it has not always been like that.
One thousand seven hundred years ago,
during the celebration of the two moons, the enemy forayed over
powered the villagers under the cloak of darkness.
Brave men were cut down where they stood in the cold crisp autumn night.
The ones who still had life in their veins escaped in despair,
but regathered quickly and formed a resistance.
Many among them, women and children,
only armed with axes, torches, and pitchforks.
Starlight twinkles mighty
As they celebrate this night
Distant clatter of the horses hooves
Heralds their demise
"Bring oaken barrels, rise your horns
Lay weapons all aside"
A golden shimmer throws its trail
Upon the tavern's light
Mors stupebit et natura
Cum resurget creatura
At midnight's stroke
When two moons rise
And storm awakes
The sleeping child
When two moons unite
Silent tears will fall
Once upon a time
Like a dream long ago
The sleeping child
Then a storyteller awakes the realm
Of dragons, wizards, knights
As mighty men and servants
Are sitting round the fire side by side
No one knows the evil
Out of the forest's deep
Mother death is soon to sing
Her melody so sweet
Mors stupebit et natura
Cum resurget creatura
Under the cloak of darkness
And within the dim haze
As mighty and servants shed
Their lifeblood on their blades
When two moons unite
Silent tears will fall
Once upon a time
Like a dream long ago
At midnight's stroke
When two moons rise
And storm awakes
Quando coeli movendi sunt et terra
Quando coeli movendi sunt et terra
Dum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem
My son, now listen what I say:
Keep in mind what you have learned
Wrap your fingers 'round your sword
Maybe you will not return
Thousands that we once have been
Only a few are still here
I've to give this sacrifice...
... oh, the autumn brought us fear!
My life, my blood, my tears, my pain
I'm the guardener of thee
Through an axestrike I have lost
The ability to see
Now my child, your time have come
Mercy - not with those you'll harm
Wrap your fingers 'round your sword...
(And the ones we love will fall
Like autumn leaves
On these endless fields)
... as the horn sounds the alarm!
Und als der Sturm begann
Als Fleisch auf Eisen traf
Hell wie der Glocken Klang
Die Schreie derer, deren Glück versagt
Mit Wunden übersät
Der Eichenhain ihm Schutze bot
Wie die Legende sagt
War dies des Vaters sich'rer Tod
Now that all silence was disturbed
The Ground, as red as autumn leafs
Father Frost, the last they feel
On these mighty, endless fields
Quando coeli movendi sunt et terra
Dum veneris judicare saeculum per ignem
Hush hush, my child
Mother death is your bride
If you listen her song you will follow
So beware
Let your senses take care
Your innocent mind will be hallowed
A step in the dark
(Miserere Dominus)
A secret to hide
(Rex tremendae majestatis)
A legend to tell
(Libera eas)
Drowned in the waters of time
(Miserere Dominus)
A secret to hide
He holds
Wisdom of ancient times
A parchment with numbers and rhymes
Fear speaks the spell to survive
The circle of druids alive!
They all gathered in the night
Within the torches light
As theirs slumber awakes
So I did wish a thousand times
Mother Death would come to me
In her arms I will entwine
And I'm rising up to thee
Now my child, my time has come
Mercy not with those I'll harm
I wrap my fingers 'round my sword...
... as their horn sounds the alarm!
Now the winter begins
Moonrise
On my path...
Als ich nun wand're auf dem Pfad
Und die Dunkelheit verhüllt
Den Mondenschein der Licht mir gab
Der das inn're Toben stillt
Suddently
Along the mountainside
Fog demons slowly rise
Oh wanderer you'll see
Your fate seems to be sealed by thee
As magic did weave
On sanctified grounds
He fell on this knees where he stood
And blinded by those
That have passed long ago
Here in Gildeon's Woods
As he turns his head
Hurt by the beasts
His heart - filled with fear
For this is the end?
Or will he find
The way out of here
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine
Et lux perpetua luceat eis
Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Ithiria
Sanctus
Dominus
Quid sum miser tunc dicturus
Requiem aeternam
Il mistero
Valli di Ithiria
Deep inside the forest's heart
Enchanted by the ones
of ancient times
Magic be their light
That dimmers deep within
Night at Gildeon's Woods
Did you ever wander?
And you got lost on secret paths?
Did you ever see them?
Is purity within your heart?
Then trough the trees
A light you may have seen
That saved you from the dark
Moonrise
Wenn auch die Hoffnung
in mir schwand
Mit zitternd Hand
mein Schwert ich zieh'
Unterm finst'ren Himmelszelt
Der Wölfe Hunger nie versiegt
Ein Hieb, ein Schrei,
ein Schmerz, ein Licht
Doch es ist des Todes
düst'rer Schatten nicht
Gazing at the moons' silvery light
Here, where history may fall
Enter the realm of darkened might
Courage may now be with us all
In times of freedom, times of fear
Mother death stands by their side
An unicorn, so proud and clear
Ride, when all the worlds collide
On my path...
Als ich nun wandre auf dem Pfad
Folg' dem Lichte, das mich führt
Als der Taverne ferner Schein
Victim of a tragic accident
To survive she really had no chance
And they thought, that all in her had died
But ONE part was still alive...
So they couldn't hear
The silent scream
As they connected her on this life-machine
An embryonic existence
Incapsuled in a corpse
Artifical rescue of a lost life
The decision: Right or wrong?
Let live? Or let die?
If it would be on you,
how would YOU decide?
An abortion, a solution - maybe
But taking the right to live from the
Baby away?
Why punish to die?
Is it murder or not?
Can they bear the blame in front of their god?
And a fear of the medical disciples:
Maybe the child will be born
CRIPPLED!
Medical history hey write
A solution for a later life?
In the night to the 17th of November
- The point of time -
the world will remember -
As s manipulation-trial has failed
Marching long and far
Day turns to night
Scattered campfires flicker on three thousand mighty
warriors who the sharpen their swords and axes
"I do not feel obliged to believe
that the same God who has endowed us
with sadness, reason and intellect
has intended us to forgo their use"
So all the stars
Will guide us on our way
The Sextant as a leader
Has duration for all days
Look at the amazing skies
In long and profund discoveries
With a strong and a clear mind he's encrypting
More secrets of astronomy
In endless nights
He entirely observes the skies
His publications will change the world
Galileo Galilei
Only what my eyes will see, I will believe!
Day and night - separated by the light
In Pisa he's required
To teach the theory
That the stars and all the planets
Revolve around the earth
But he believed
In a different truth
The heliocentric one
Proposed by Kopernikus
A new age has begun
The stolen sun
Makes their fear rise
And man will sacrifice
The moon is the reason why
Look at the amazing skies
In long and profound discoveries
With a strong and a clear mind he's encrypting
More secrets of astronomy
In endless nights
He entirely observes the skies
His publications will change the world
Galileo Galilei
And all the servants of the cross - they will deny
Will deny the starlight
In Pisa he's required
To teach the theory
That the stars and all the planets
Revolve around the earth
But he believed
In a different truth
The heliocentric one
Proposed by Kopernikus
