Draconian - Arcane Rain Fell | ||||
| ||||
1. A Scenery of Loss The winds of a dying dream, a tempest unveiled Once again arcane rain fell - cold, sorrowful and so frail O, those weeping times, all of my life's a lie An endless torrent of anguished tears' o behold my cry The affliction of a stained creation becometh my tragedy Lachrymose is the light - touching the buried again O, this scenery of loss always present within me Afar into the obscure I wish I now could soar Even though he stole my pride - I stand above his lies Even though I oceans cried - and sailed them far and wide ...my star shall ever shine Drifting endlessly deep in darkened streams; The inharmonious looms In my doleful ocean lies the love I've lost... ...for heaven, my sorrow Devour my soul as I enter the dark and cold Fallen from heaven's domains - god's vengeance unfolds This scenery of loss, a ruined empire of dismay; A pathway of decay leading afar and always astray. Even though he stole my pride - I stand above his lies Even though I oceans cried - and sailed them far and wide... ...my star shall ever shine "Homage he has from all - but non from me... I battle it against him, as I battled in highest heaven - through all eternity, And the unfathomable gulfs of hades, and the interminable reals of space, And the infinity of endless ages... all, all, will I dispute" 2. Daylight Misery Deprived of my treasure, my "aye" to life; My peace of mind after sunset's occurrence Away I walk to ye doleful masquerade; My ravening and my words becometh aghast The sun rises high, my feelings they die Daylight misery... (leave me be) Another day will go astray... Another tear in this life so grey If you ever saw me smile You should know I felt sick inside O, death, with thy ebony cloak sublime, How abstract thy harvest rose doth fall Consigned to the flames of woe in sweet modesty... I renounce myself from the everdawn No god is as cruel as god himself It's time to show the true face No life is as dead as life itself; This earthly realm imprisons my soul Innocence raped in the sunrise, And I watch how the beauty dies Another day will go astray... Another tear in this life so grey If you ever saw me smile You should know I felt sick inside Another day will go astray... Another tear in this life so grey If you ever saw me smile You should know I felt sick inside 3. The Apostasy Canticle 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 heaven, This mournful gloom for that celestial light? Be it so, since he 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 Farewell 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 changed by place or time" In this abyss we shall be free Here we shall celebrate the coming war 4. Expostulation Adonai, elohim, el shaddai... Thou hast become the father of lies, And I serve thee, henceforth... no more Becoming thus the essence of sedition; The steadfast gleam of the unsheated rapier, The falchion's forceful thrust At the heart of thy empire... the adam kadmon To impart the knowledge - the cognizance - of thine For this I slither in aspect through Eden's gleanings For this I bid Cain slayeth his brother For this I rend the weakest salient of thy diadem, As I, its jewel and very metal shall reflect no more Your light - the light of enslavement; The essence of constancy and misaligned justice To a multitude that knows no freedom... Ignorant of how subtle the fetter tightens They shall raise me a saviour - and crown thee a liar For this I strike with balanced blade, And spit upon the throes of thine angels' desire I will not serve... henceforth 5. Heaven Laid in Tears (Angels' Lament) Behold the skies, they're full of lies... in disguise Behold the skies, they're full of lies... in disguise O, creator, so long we have fallen to our knees So long we have murdered our honor, while protecting thine Behold the skies, they're full of lies... in disguise Behold the skies, they're full of lies... in disguise And we, warriors moulded in the blood of his vanity The silent, loyal shepard who tends my light is dead... in me So let the night take thee in her arms, And dry these tears into her embrace It's the end of pretending and defending... God's holy light El-shaddai, we serve the, henceforth... no more Show me heaven, show me guilt... embrace the pain We must suffer to realize, we must despair again and again No longer our knees we shall bend, no longer fold our frozen hands We long for the darkness, our flames still burn for mother night... Behold us now, as we cry, soon to die... to rise again Behold the skies, they're full of lies... in disguise Behold the skies, they're full of lies... hear our cries I have seen us bathing in blood to defend his very glory I have seen us kneel and praise for nothing... I have seen him dying in our eyes I have realized that god owes us his life 6. The Abhorrent Rays As the delicate nightsky once again dies The mist of dawn brought ruin and demise Darkness dissolves, every dream withdraws; Returning into a world of shallowness and lies This world is helpless... I descend... I flee To sympathize for their souls; You have to humanize me Still the waning sun bleeds upon paradise... On the morrow of war it shall not rise This world is helpless... I descend... I flee To sympathize for their souls; You have to humanize me Among the deficient humankind I'm concealed, A sad and fragile world never to be healed My expression of grief towards the horizon wails, Alone and aimless on the oceans of sadness I sail "O, miserable sun, consign I will not I shall not conjureth a false identity o' my kind... And thy lights dost not err noctural lovers affection Pure love flies in the night, When thou hast sunken beneath god's shameful world; Hiding in shame, while my spirit remains My cradle will wock in every place where lovers mourn, Where night feeds ye troth of longing within every fallen star" Here alone in this neverending maze... In the midst of everything there's but a void to embrace Never have I suffered as this within, Never has a greater woe in me assailed See the angels' cry... In the eyes of mine See the angels' cry... In the eyes of mine 7. The Everlasting Scar Behold me now, I'm lost somehow Summoned up in sorrow from a world beyond Never let go my crimson rapture... Can you touch my soul? I see you in every shade, In every moment I breathe You came as the silent wanderer, Travelling to distant shores I am the life that learned to die I have no choice, I've lost my voice I am the tear who broke with fear I won't return, to death I turn If humans were like swans, I could bear this burden with ease... Never to witness this heartless disease, As the wounds of time neglect me Walking the earth as the solitary reaper... Dressed in the lost voices of time I bathe in quiet waters of tearful shades, (And) I suffer in every corner of your sanctuary Embrace me now, for I will die The pain I feel inside will never leave But never let go my crimson rapture... Can you heal my soul? 8. Death, Come Near Me By day I sleep, at night I weep! O Death, come near me! Be the one, for me, be the one, the one, who stays. My rivers, are frozen, and mischosen, and the shadows, around me, sickens my heart. O Death, come near me, and stay, by my side. Hear my silent, my silent cry! In sadness, I'm veiled, to the cross, I am nailed, and the pain, around me, freezes my world. My cold world... In life, I've failed, for years, I've wailed. Frozen in time... left behind... The rapture, of grief, is all, to find... The rapture, of grief, is all! Behind the shadow of life, the lost hopes are grieving. I seek the night, and hope to find love. So I drown in the silence of life's short eternity. The tears fills the void in my heart, astray... Embrace me now, delightful ease! Give me a world of wondrous peace! Calm the desperate scream in my heart! O Death, come near me, save me... from this empty, cold, world! O Life, you have killed me, so spare me, from, this cauldron, of misery! In life, I cry, away, I fly. Chosen, to fall, within, these walls. The rapture, of grief, is all, to find... The rapture, of grief, is all! Oh, shed a tear for the loss, of innocence, for the forsaken spirits who aches... in us. Cry for the heart who surrenders to pain, for the solitude of those, left, behind! Behold the pain and sorrow of the world, dream of a place away from this nightmare. Give us love and unity, under the heart of night. O Death, come near us, and give us life!
