Bloodstained (PL) : Downfall Magnificat
Lyrics
1. PREDATOR WANNABE
If you're predator
Stand face to face with the victim
Use your dubious strength
...and deal a lethal blow
Be a true predator
But do it yourself, with your bare hands
Kill...feel free...take life
But look in the eyes
Deep in the eyes
Do not be a coward
Can you do that?!
2. IN YOUR LIKENESS
If you’ve created us in your image
How full of contradictions you must be, Demon
Creation of the human species homosapiens
This is your greatest failure ... Lord
If you've created creatures so highly intelligent
Ambitious, sensitive, valuable and beautiful
Why at the same time are they so morally ugly?
Rotten, envious, cruel and disgusting
Is this a joke? An unsuccessful experiment?
Revenge? Or the moment of weakness...
At the last moment, everything went
out of control
In your likeness...Lord, you created monsters.
3. ZAPRZEPAŚCIŁEŚ LUDZKOŚĆ
Człowieku...
Tak dumny jesteś, tak wyniosły zarazem
Nie wierzysz czasem zbytnio w swą wartość?
Człowieku…tak mocno swój rozwój cenisz
Czy nie za bardzo swą egzystencję wielbisz?
Człowieku gnijesz, zatruwasz siebie
W żółci własnej swe życie trawisz
Tak wiele potrafisz, tak wiele możesz
Tak mało rozumiesz, tak wiele tracisz.
Na końcu tunelu nie ma już światła
Czarny wschód słońca, ciemność nastała
Człowieku...zaprzepaściłeś ludzkość
Nastała pustka i wieczna ciemność
4. NO PARADISE NO SALVATION NO GLORY
Father, who art in heaven
Are you almighty...are you?
I am trying to grasp you...as a father
But although I am one myself
I do not understand you
To sacrifice your own child for our sins?
Explain it to me please, I can not believe it
What kind of a father sentences his son to suffer?
I can not get it in my head
I will never understand it
Father, who art in heaven
How thy name can be hallowed?
A few thousand years already
In fear and suffering, you build your kingdom
You don't take prisoners, you don’t save the faithful
With promise of paradise, you tempt your followers
5. SHAME ON YOU
Swallowing your own tail
Getting deeper and deeper
You're choking and dying
As you wish
Through your pride
Because you are blind
With your own silliness
Because you're guilty
Shame on you, human
...that you exist and destroy all
You rape, hurt, exploit and kill
There is no animal more cruel than you!
6. ALL IS NOT LOST
(John Milton's “Paradise lost”: Book 1, 106-116)
(...) All is not lost; the unconquerable Will,
And study of revenge, immortal hate,
And courage never to submit or yield:
And what is else not to be overcome?
That Glory never shall his wrath or might
Extort from me. To bow and sue for grace
With suppliant knee, and deifie his power
Who from the terrour of this Arm so late
Doubted his Empire, that were low indeed,
That were an ignominy and shame beneath
This downfall (...);
7. VENOM
Can a child have a poisoned heart?
It learns everything from us
It's like a clean state
Clean, innocent, receptive and trusting
Venom that flows in our veins
It pushes slowly into their little minds
Venom that poisoned our hearts
It sprouts in them and flows on ... without end
The world in which they have to live is burning
Like a black hole, it absorbs everything and everyone
The world we brought them to
Sooner or later will fall
Burying us and our relatives
8. WOE TO YOU FOOLS
Patient, understanding, harsh, powerful
Goddess, mother earth, cruel and beautiful
A witness of the evolution and fall of Men
Sacrum, profanum, alpha & omega
Abused, disgraced, used
She looks angry and looks after her torturer
Woe to you fools...I say woe!
Conflagration and anger ... anger and abhorrence
9. WHERE JOY FOREVER DWELLS
(John Milton's “Paradise lost”: Book 1, 250-263)
(...) Hail horrours, hail Infernal world,
and thou profoundest Hell
Receive thy new Possessor: One who brings
A mind not to be chang'd by Place or Time.
The mind is its own place, and in it self
Can make a Heav'n of Hell, a Hell of Heav'n.
What matter where, if I be still the same,
And what I should be, all but less then he
Whom Thunder hath made greater? Here at least
We shall be free; th' Almighty hath not built
Here for his envy, will not drive us hence:
Here we may reign secure, and in my choyce
To reign is worth ambition though in Hell:
Better to reign in Hell, then serve in Heav'n. (...)
10. DOWNFALL
No civilization is eternal
Regardless of how much it will do for humanity
Every empire sooner or later falls
By insatiability the road to hell is paved
Man takes much more than he gives
He destroys all that stands on its way
I despise a man, so much I despise
The human species...let it die!
11. HIENA
Prześladuje mnie i niepokoi
Nie daje o sobie zapomnieć
Zatruwa mój umysł
Wciąż puka do moich drzwi
Strach...zamęcza ofiarę...ta hiena...na śmierć
Staram się go zrozumieć
Poznać, oswoić, okiełznać
Ale on zawsze wraca
Chodzi za mną
Jest jak cień
Strach... ta hiena... jest jak cień
Jestem na przegranej pozycji
Bo on nigdy nie odpuści
Muszę go przechytrzyć
Muszę od niego być silniejszy
Muszę nauczyć się z nim żyć
Zdominować go i ujarzmić
Strach... zamęcza ofiarę... na śmierć... ta hiena
