Atra Hora
Metahom
1. Metamorphoses
A temple with no god, a body with no soul
In your desires you lose yourself
Nobody can take away what we have not
"There's nothing covered that shall not be revealed
And hid that shall not be known" M 10 26
Trying to discover the world around you
You face a contradiction
The search ends only when you find
Aesthetics instead of truth
You're linked in chains of so-called reality
Ashes are drifting above the dusty labyrinth
And water will turn into wine
And a blindman will see
And ash will turn into soil
To grow a seed
Death can't be conquered by death!
Everyone is free to decide what to bring
Everything has its causes and consequences
If we fill it with meaning it makes sense
The reality is limited with our consciousness!
2. Metahom
Life ruins being mixed with death
Death remains here, she is walking these places
Each second is eternal in the struggle for life
We die...
After death we go to the place
Where we scout path during the life
Death with no end... eyes like dark lakes
She laughs before dying... everytime
She brings her own fire to the Hell!
Stellar cemeteries without any bounds
We are an obstacle between ourselves and things we search
We are the children of the Immensity which is stretched above
...and a blindman will see those who watch
A child hidden in a secret cave
A son of skies with Earth body
A cheerful one in those who sleep
In the center of a house
When a blindman see a sighted one...
A solar area where everything becomes forever known...
Some miracles have no soul, some others are bodiless...
An impotence of gold!
Thanatos is cutting a strand of hair
A radiant king, who was hidden from us,
You are in the sword that strikes you
And in the hands which embrace!

4. Daemonos
[originally by Daemonia Nymphe]Δαίμονα κικλήσκω μεγάλαν ηγήτορα φρικτόν,
μειλίχιον Δία, παγγενέτην, βιοδώτορα θνητών,
Ζήνα μέγαν, πολύπλαγκτον, αλάστορα, παμβασιλήα,
πλουτοδότην, οπόταν γε βρυάζων οίκον εσέλθηι,
έμπαλι δέ τρύχοντα βίον θνητών πολυμόχθων:
εν σοί γάρ λύπης τε χαράς κληίδες οχούνται.
τοιγάρ τοι, μάκαρ, αγνέ
πολύστονα κήδε' ελάσσας,
όσσα βιοφθορίην πέμπει κατά γαίαν άπασαν,
ένδοξον βιοτής γλυκερόν τέλος εσθλόν οπάζοις.
5. The Cardinal Sin
[originally by Dead Can Dance]Sail to the stars
On your shining desires
"Reasons? There are none"
Cried the whisky laden brain
"When all is said and done
It amounts to just the same"
There in your starry eyes
Lie hopes that have been betrayed
The cause of your desire
Can also lead to your demise
When all is said and done
It will be you who pays the price
As countless fools
Are often loathe to testify
"It's an illusion of life
The whole cause of our demise"
Sail to the stars
On your shining desires
Lucretia waits in vain
For the child of her dreams
Within her aching womb
There burns a funeral pyre
There in your starry eyes
Lie hopes that have been betrayed
The prize that you claim
Can never be yours to take
Like castles in Spain
Hope is all that will remain
Abstain from the fools paradise
It's an illusion of life
The whole cause of our desire
[As countless] fools
Are often loathe to testify
"It's an illusion of life
The whole cause of our demise"
Contemplate the world
And its traitors to the soul
The forces of derision
And its legions manifold
Usurpers of the crown
All pretenders to the throne
Your world is linked in chains
"All in one, one in all"
All in one, one in all
All in one, one in all
All in one, one in all
All in one, one in all
All in one, one in all
All in one, one in all
All in one, one in all
All in one, one in all
[As countless] fools
Are often loathe to testify
"It's an illusion of life
The whole cause of our demise"
It's an illusion of life
It's an illusion of life
It's an illusion of life
It's an illusion of life
6. A Voice From Forgotten Depths (2014 Version)
As deeper you down so less you shine
From the temples and the tombs without exit out
From timeless voids, forgotten towns
Where is no place for the breath of life
Each one who's watching through the eyes of dead can see
The kingdom of moonlight beneath the layer of bones
My death will go through endless centuries
And once we'll hear forgotten void's voice
There won't be boundaries for darkness
When we open the gateways of night
As deeper you down so more the emptiness around
Open the gateways of night
The face with 10000 eyes
Calls me from the depths and I follow
The inner pale sun, the empty life
The empty death and I know
Of the shadows
Everything's made of the shadows
Everyone's made
Who did teach you to hide your preys?
The inner pale sun's slowly dying
Live my life and wear your mask
In the shadow the black star's shining
7. They Go... (Overdose Mix)
They go, and I hear screams and groans
The wind is crying, I hear
The blood will flow out of the wall
And it will wash me
They've turned to ashes the world
The rotten is spread by the ones
Going unto my call
Unseen in shades, they're raised by the word
They bring the end to the age
Of forceless god
They'll go through time and through space
Destroying the matters
And eye can't see the flame
Burning upon the place… They go
Someone is behind the mirror
Just like before
The dust covered my arms
I know I'm dead
The world is full of silence
Storm clouds around
And dark is inside us
They go and shaking the earth
They go and I hear screams and human groans
I hear the wind rushing in despair
The end of days has come
The circle now is closed
In the beginning
There was chaos
