2. PESTILENCIA

Aides moi...
[Help me...]

Oh, il est tombe! Mais, qu'est-ce qu'il a?
[Oh, he's fallen down! But what's wrong with him?]
Saint vierge! Au secours!
[Blessed Virgin! Help!]
Venez! Venez! Venez!
[Come! Come! Come!]

C'est la peste! C'est la peste!
[It's pestilence! It's pestilence!]
Sauve qui peut! Sauve qui peut!
[Run for cover! Run for cover!]

Dominus vobiscum
[Let the God be with you.]
Et cum spiritu tuo. Quid est, quod vis?
[An with thy spirit. What is it, that you want?]

Dei punientis pestilentiam etiam
[hand of the God will pestilence]
Agentem apportavit!
[further bring]

Domine, serva animos nostros...

3. HEAVENLY DAMNATION

Suffering dementia
Unchains the secret's bearer
Unholy visions "God forgive me!"
Are coming nearer - coming nearer, Amen!

Lux perpetua, domine
[The eternal brilliance, Lord]

Dementia slowly unlightens the mind
And satan steals the morninglight

Domine
[Lord]

Viju svet V notschi tumanoi
[I see the light in the mist of night]
Ne prognat mne prisrak strany
[Can't banish the strange ghost]
Svet Negasnusei svetschi
[The light of ever-burning candle]
Gorit, Gorit V notschi
[Is burning, burning in the night]
Svet Negasnusei svetschi
[The light of ever-burning candle]
Gorit, Gorit V notschi
[Is burning, burning in the night]

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
[The light of ever-burning candle]
Gorit, Gorit V notschi
[Is burning, burning in the night]


4. THE FINAL VICTORY

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 fellow citizens, but - unfortunately -
Was not able to save his family from his old enemy...
This was also a time the holy cross was rising with unstoppable might
Again, a trace of tears and blood covered the land

The final victory
Has crushed the autumn silence
The final victory
Has crushed the autumn silence

Mortius, domine, lux perpetua luceat
[The more dead, Lord, the eternal brilliance shines]
Mortius, domine, lux perpetua luceat
[The more dead, Lord, the eternal brilliance shines]
Mortius, domine
[The more dead, Lord.]

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
So thou shalt trust the seer...

6. AWAKING THE CENTURIES

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
[The candle light]
Er leuchtet fahl
[Its light is pale]
Als das Sonnenlicht er stahl
[When the sunlight was stolen]
Und nur das grosse Himmelszelt
[And only the great skies` tent]
Bezeugt das Ende dieser Welt
[Confirm the end of this world]

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
[The moon shines]
Er leuchtet fahl
[Its light is pale]
Das Herz der Finsternis er stahl
[It's stolen the heart of darkness]
Nun glei_end Lichte ihn umgibt
[Now glittering light surrounds it]
Und doch des Menschen Hoffnung siegt...?
[But will human hope win?]

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 observe 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
[The candle light]
Er leuchtet fahl
[Its light is pale]
Als das Sonnenlicht er stahl
[When the sunlight was stolen]
Und nur das grosse Himmelszelt
[And only the great skies` tent]
Bezeugt das Ende dieser Welt
[Confirm the end of this world]

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

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

And the sign of humanity is burning tonight
I can't escape from this ritual silence
Humanity's burning tonight

8. IN A FULLMOON PROCESSION

As the evening 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 rhymes, 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
And nobody's speaking a word

As 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
And nobody's speaking a word

As the dark night enters
As the dark night enters

10. PROPHECY FULFILLED

[Prophecy Fulfilled]

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 chosen 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 divine astronomy
The light inside the crystal soul
Protecs me from the wintry coldness
But a dark might is on the lead
And thy scares start to bleed... again...

[And The Dark Night Entered]

And Michael Nostradamus began to wander
through Europe for the next six years, where
he first became aware the awakening of
his prophetic powers

Divine astronomy...

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

Dementia slowly unlightnes the mind...

So god had 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 chosen 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!
