Mysterium The Glowering Facades Of Night 1. Primordium Mysteriorum 2. Where the Morning Still Stays Far Away ...where guarding veils embrace the thread of life ...where threatening flews of fear rub through ...where neither hope, nor delight can be ...where bewitching fairies bless the endless dark "I feel thy presence, my heart, my fear, my grief is thine!" Abhoring life, still longing for the end Just me and the splendid night I feel thy presence, my heart, my fear, my grief is thine! "Existence and grief, sorrow and lust, Became the fading rose, pricking into my heart" 3. Ceremony of the Nightfall Falling from the maze of day into an ancient secrecy The enchanting moon, a sorceress she is Her mysterious wings she soar over Clearest fields and trees, this light dyes her Realm of infinite shine The sun of night obtains th might that makes day fall asleep Bloodred she came and with calm she will go Dreams of beauty fill the sky seducing With a spell of dark, embracing the mind... And withered flowers bloom! I'm passing through, fusing to leave any Light behind the dawn Haunted by dreams, dressed in black... As lucid waters flow, down to the lunar sea The air whispers eerie takes From chasms dressed in black Resounds the voice of night A splendid myth she possess! Leave to reign and settle your throne Cast your spell on human paths The wisdom grows under your wings Where blindness is lost... From the lap of night, they will arise Silence of ash to the agony of flames Stray'd and trapp'd in the misery of life Silent, the world lies, like my grave! Now gather your creatures, trap our fears And conquer our hearts, and past all Silence, the wolves' howls they sound so dark What you obtained and made day fall Asleep, what now fills the sky shall be as Long as night will fall! 4. The Red-Eyed Wrath Black tears fall... Blinded in dust, our eyes keep still And my touch just closes our minds Hades' breath blows announcing his will The red fog graspe time "Hades, oh Hades! Where will we go? Who cares for the souls to come?" "No more life I'll tolerate, false whore! A senseless art, I make sink...forever!" Our mouths are silent like the ruins That barely lie down to the once sacred Gorund, but Hdes dishonoured it all Disintegrating the crown blooms for the last time! The red-eyed wrath in unimaginable Light, opens at last our thoughts Yet the sky we see is empty of gods And our heaven is too hard to climb Black tears fall... Blinded in dust, our eyes keep still And my touch just closes our minds Now even light has turned to gloom With the forbidden colours' rite "Our greed become our last petal..." 5. Ode to the Dark One Drawin' a painting of strange spheres, still searching in my pain Who is the One, the keeper of my existence, the One I give credence to? "There are none of your gods to reward your now They're all too weak to stand this fight! The emptiness is taking everything off yourself What afflicts you in the oge of dark..." Gives me the spirit of strength, hate and ancient visions Bringing for union with the darkness, my innocence is lost The feeling of endless might banishes inferiority from my soul I finally reach the end of wordly life, suffused with pagan blood! "We approach our final moment, divinity's of the other side Floating like angels in cryptic wings, from strange worlds, lost forever!" "Now darkness rules the crimson sky, rising in nocturnal flames Mighty flashes split the sky, to lead you back to your origin..." 6. Ere Love Sank Passing Fair Earth hath swallow'd all my hopes but She, a heart innocence whipp'd and shutin a soulles prison Admired beauty, I think thy swan a crow So drop thy mask to dreadful ears my dreadful cry She reachs the silence, her lifefog-curtain'd stars Solemnity in the dark, passioned love, solemnity Farewell with weepin's looks O, where flew the time when I taught a sun burn bright? Come hither again with thy kiss profane! Thus froze my twinking sphere Ere love sank passing fair... No single tear will leave my virgin eyes If only thou look sweet as winter on a mournful day I eat thy starvation, that of it doth not taste! Aspir'd the clouds thy spirit hath, my heart lives dead! Thus froze his dismal skin Ere love sink passing fair... My tranquillity enarmour'd of my invisible grave Why my fatal wound doth not bleed? New'd to this heaviness I dare not take off my burden Solemnity, farewell with weepin' looks Ere love sink passing fair... 7. Cynthia's Child Chapter I: Casting her shadow, her vanishing shape Malicious beauty in the embrace of night Thee, o thee, I adore, Cynthia... With thy tail, sweeping me Stiring rays on ym skin If thou profan'st me, to sin in secret lust My dreams are thine Thou ris'st in the vapour of beasts The unfolden ones in me Heaven shall blacken, thy throne is Untouched, moonlight, sweet eclipse "Your mortal desire, I'll share Nights candles inansuspicious stars Weak and motionless prepare you son For the last rose on your grave..." And so she hath come down to earth To set her rest into life With timeless flesh to profane A black-hearted man she hath found She spar'd her love in his arms Brought forth a child to him Bring as the moon itself Chapter II: "O what disgrace you hath brought to me My honour, I forsworn to love again The fruit of thy haunch shall no longer Owe myself, in loneliness, it will rest on a Never-finding place..." Unsubstantial, fairylike, thy dear love sworn Your feelings arose my soul 'till daylight came Chapter III: With tears augmenting, the cold demon's might Devote on me! In my ecstasy of blood From the sixth to the ningth hour Thou shall wander in the shade of the eternal Approach the shady curtains, out of the Empty glance, time passes by, no more left to hold... Silence weeps as golden storms Frail in thy arms The wolves' dawning flews Approaching Cynthia's spell! 8. Winter Enshrined Fly! Ethereal as thy breath! Lay white like sorrow on our tombs! How! Dreadful as thy children! We art thy gift - poisoned by my serpent tongue...
