1. POSTRIDIE NOMAS IUNIAS

(Instrumental)


2. AMONGST BLACKENING SKIES

In the coldest embrace of dusk I drown the rays of daylight
The suns, gathered in void, implode and reappear as novas
Thence the mask of night can’t cover the embers of ardor
And my will of control and dominion lasts through joy and pain

I’m above the oceans of time
Father of timeless nights
Amongst the blackening skies
I am the light

In the silent whisper of night I seal the eyes of desire
The Never filleth the hearts of dreamers enchained in pleasure
So the lack of feelings will weaken the planets’ attraction
And the apathy will dip the shapes into the formless

I’m above the oceans of time
Father of timeless nights
Amongst the blackening skies
I am the light

May my solemn word be law
So I can see the emptiness and refill it with fulness
May my brightest light be unleashed at the end of time
So I can shine like a million suns, and be the One above all

In the sweetest kiss of dawn I devour the shadows of madness
The stars fade behind the veil of the purest Aurora
Thus the rays of Sun can’t bare the blasphemous secrets
That howl, fearless, against the loudest of the thunders

I’m above the oceans of time
Father of timeless nights
Amongst the blackening skies
I am the light
Above the oceans, beyond the shadows
I am the light amongst the blackening skies!


3. IN SHADOW AND LIGHT

A LUCE TENEBRAE, A NOCTE AETERNUM

When the new cosmic order
Came through the ashes of Genesis
And the sons of Antares spread the red flame
And profaned the galactic seed
I was there, before time,
Before gods of creation
To redraw the laws of perfection,
And refill the void of ambitions

When the great Mother spawned
On the phantasmic soil of disgrace
And her breast fed humanity With sin and lies
I was there, before time,
As in shadow so in light!

UMBRA - I wonder in silence
ASTRA - if I owned the power
LUNA - to howl in this night
Of shadow and light

When the gods of the prophetic Eye
Raised the tower of abomination
Cain’s descent spat on their own blood
And drank it in centuries of joy
“Let us embrace, in blindness and faith”
They spoke, “in torment and pleasure”
When Y’all feasted on the weakness of men
Yet craved their mortality
I was there, before time,
As in shadow so in light!

UMBRA - I wonder in silence
ASTRA - if I owned the power
LUNA - to howl in this night
Of shadow and light
UMBRA - I wonder in silence
ASTRA - if I owned the power
LUNA - to keep you at my side
In shadow and light

A LUCE TENEBRAE, A NOCTE AETERNUM

UMBRA - I wonder in silence
ASTRA - if I owned the power
LUNA - to howl in this night
Of shadow and light

A LUCE TENEBRAE, A NOCTE AETERNUM


4. ONE MILLION SUNS

Once the craving of gnosis leadeth me
To the darkest side of the truths
The bloodstained flowers of passion
Will bloom from the wintry soil of reasoning
Where all my fears can’t revive

Within the blackened sky
Never ever will the night
Hide and veil the eternal light
Of a million suns
Within the blackened sky
Never ever be the time
Fading your brightest side
With a million suns

Once the dreaming of a perfect creature
Made out of comets and stardust
Enlighteneth the utter black amongst the galaxies
I’ll feel the weakness of mortality
The guilt of being almighty
The endless beyond time
Then all my fears will revive

Within the blackened sky
Never ever will the night
Hide and veil the eternal light
Of a million suns
Within the blackened sky
Never ever be the time
Fading your brightest side
With a million suns

The guilt of being almighty
The endless beyond time

Within the blackened sky
Never ever will the night
Hide and veil the eternal light
Of a million suns
Within the blackened sky
Never ever be the time
Fading your brightest side
With a million suns
Never will the time veil the eternal light
Of a million suns


5. LOVERS IN A COLORLESS SUMMER

ANIMUS HOMINUM
CELAT ET VIVIT IN TENEBRIS
VERITAS HOMINUM
MORITUR IN PERPETUUM

Lone, in the sea of awareness I sail, fearless
Worshipped by existence, blown by Ego’s winds

Like the colorless summer
Without the glance of a shy dawn
Chasing the warmth in a spark
Drowned in the void of the utter dark

Lone, through the clouds of unknown I fly in stillness
Dethroned by weakness, swept by the winds of love

No! the colorless summer
Burst in her shy dawn
Breaking the silence of night
And turning her void in a supreme light

ANIMUS HOMINUM
CELAT ET VIVIT IN TENEBRIS
VERITAS HOMINUM
MORITUR IN PERPETUUM

No! the colorless summer
Burst in her shy dawn
Breaking the silence of night
And turning in a supreme light


6. UNTO THE ENDLESSNESS

Like the Never, who liveth above time
I fed the flame of the Universe’s fire
To design a new cosmic geometry
On the likeness of a divine morality

My light, my sway

Like the Awareness, who standeth before life
Now I behold Thee shining, soaring high bright
To elevate the whole Firmament’s symmetry
Above the stars of Boreal sky

O Sirius!
Fade thy light to me unto the utter naught

I, the Suns, warden of lightness
I, the Fire, unto the nothingness

O Vega, Deneb and Altair,
Embrace the abyss and weaken thy fire!
Like sunsets bring moons to life
I’ll obscure the galaxies to let Thee shine!

Thy light, my love unto the endlessness

I, the Suns, warden of lightness
I, the Fire, unto the nothingness!

I, the Suns, warden of lightness
I, the Fire, unto the nothingness!
I, the Suns, warden of lightness
I, the Fire, unto the nothingness!
I, the Suns, warden of lightness
I, the Fire, unto the nothingness!

I, the Suns unto the emptiness
You, the light, above the darkness
Bringer of lightness
Unto the endlessness


7. ETERNALLY THINE

In the euphoric dance of blackening I spread the seed of madness
Betraying creation I desecrate the empiric wisdom
O brothers of Merak, deny your temple and let Ursa fall
Into the deepest whirl of coldness that Cosmos had ever known

Leave the essence for the absence
Let Her light fill the oceans of loneliness

Whispers in torment spread a word of lunacy
Whispers in silence blow horns of tragedy

Everything is cold, no sound breaking this silence
Nor breath, but shivering flowers wither their last spring
Where’s Thy warmth? Thy enchanting rays of pleasure
That made the whole universe fall into the abyss of love?

Thy brightness, my light, at the unison fade
Thy mystic essence, suddenly unveils

Whispers in torment spread a word of lunacy
Whispers in silence blow horns of tragedy

May my profane word be kept for my last breath
So I can forget the fulness and be reborn to learn from all the emptiness
May Thy lunar paleness be revealed at the end of time
So I can shine on Thee with a million suns, and be eternally, Thine!

In the blackest lack of feelings I feed the flame of passion
And burn in the coldest Winter that Cosmos had ever known

Thy brightness, my light, at the unison rise

Whispers in torment spread a word of lunacy
Whispers in silence bind my name to Thee, forevermore


8. OF MOON AND STARS

Pale stone carved in splendor, to Thee my word is spoken
Thine is the beauty the sweetest art could never paint, could never paint
Oh, the sweetest art could never paint

My eyes wide before thy white pure light
Shivering like feathers in a gale of wondering

Moon and stars unite
In the cold embrace of the nighttime
Moon, gleam in the blind eyes
And be my muse through the endless night

Pale stone blessed in mystery, to Thee my soul is bound
Thine is the light the darkest night could never hide, could never hide
Oh, the darkest night could never hide

My eyes wide before thy white pure light
Dancing like dead leaves in a whirl of wondering

Moon and stars unite
In the cold embrace of the nighttime
Moon, gleam in the blind eyes
And be my muse through the endless night
Moon...
Moon, inspire the barren mind
And I will be forever Thine

Moon and stars unite
In the cold embrace of the nighttime
Moon, gleam in the blind eyes
And be my muse through the endless night
Moon...
Moon, inspire the barren mind
So I will be forever Thine
