1. WHILE THE WITCHES BURN

While the witches burn
Sacrificed on the pyre of lies, ignorance and greed
Hide deep in your heart, your secrets,
Your thoughts and your life
If you want to stay alive

Be humble and submissive
This is your only right
Without a cry
Without a sigh
Without a word of pride

Be patient don't breathe a word
You are too weak to fight
You have no choice
You have no voice
You have nowhere to hide

[The Inquisitor]
« Confess your sins Daughter
And now behold the Light
Let the Holy flames purify your soul
And pray our merciful Lord »

Don't let the Witches burn
Sacrificed on the pyre of ignorance and lies
Witches burn
Can't you see you're as guilty as their persecutors
Don't let them feed on your primal fears
Don't let them feed on the blood of innocence and tears

All my power lies
In the magic of bearing a child
In the magic of giving life.
Why do you hunt me down,
Perpetuate that ritual crime
Quenching your thirst for cries

Now look right into my eyes
I have no spell to cast
I am no witch
I am no devil
I am no slave of God

[The Inquisitor]
« Confess your sins Daughter
And now behold your Lord
We'll break your resilience
No matter how long you fight »

Don't let the Witches burn
Sacrificed on the pyre of ignorance and lies
Witches burn
Can't you see you're as guilty as their persecutors
Don't let them feed on your primal fears
Don't let them feed on the blood of innocence and tears

[The Inquisitor]
« Confess your sins Daughter
Don't resist
You're a slave to our power
Granted by our Lord
We'll break your resilience
No matter how long you fight »

Don't let the Witches burn
Sacrificed on the pyre of ignorance and lies
Witches burn
Can't you see you're as guilty as their persecutors
Don't let them feed on your primal fears
Don't let them feed on the blood of innocence and tears


2. TEARS OF A HOPELESS GOD

Jour de colère que ce jour là
Qui réduira la Terre en cendres

If there's a god somewhere in the skies
What does he think of the mankind he crated
If there's a god somewhere in this world
What does he think of those who kill in his name

«why are you killing each other in my name?
What are these words you say I did proclaim?
How did you think that you'd be saved on
The colour of your skin the colour of your heart»

See the tears of a hopeless god
As he silently grieves in the dark
While we sowed the wind
We broke his very dreams
Too late the dice have been cast
It's all carved right into our hearts

If there's a heaven somewhere above us
Is it really worth the pain and the dead
If there's a hell somewhere below us
Is it really worse than the mass graves and the camps

How could you ever remain silent and blind
To the atrocities the torture and the pain
Why have you crated man in your own image
How could it justify the slaughters and the crimes

See the tears of a hopeless god
As he silently grieves in the dark
While we sowed the wind
We broke his very dreams
Too late the dice have been cast
It's all carved right into our hearts

Miscreatur nostri deus. Sicut erat in principio.
Et nune et semper et in saecula saeculorum

A seed of dream in a hopeless world
Has been carefully sowed in our hearts,
While we threw our beliefs to the wind,
And reaped the whirlwind.
Let's give it a chance to grow now.
Despite all odds we might rekindle a flame in the night.

See the tears of a hopeless god
As he silently grieves in the dark
While we sowed the wind
We broke his very dreams
But still inside our heart
A flame of hope is burning right here in the night


3. ATLANTIS

I was born too soon, eager to enter the world.
I grew up too fast, I forgot to be a child.

This is a race against time I have to win,
Don't stand in my way tonight.
Whatever the price to pay
I am the runaway, runaway.

I tried to fly away but forgot I had no wings.
I tried to reach Atlantis but forgot I had to breath.
I tried to touch the fire but I got my fingers burnt.
I tried to win the race against time but forgot the one I loved.

I was thirsty for freedom, thirsty for love and passion.
I ran away trying to find the answers to ridles torturing my mind.

Appearances and attractive colours
Don't try to deceive my eyes.
Now I need to cut off the strings
That are tying, tying me down!

I tried to fly away but forgot I had no wings.
I tried to reach Atlantis but forgot I had to breath.
I tried to touch the fire but I got my fingers burnt.
I tried to win the race against time but forgot the one I loved.

This is your way, this is your life,
This is your voice, this is your choice.
This is your way, this is your life,
This is your voice, this is your choice.
This is your way, this is your life,
This is your voice, this is your choice.
This is your way, this is your life,
This is your voice, this is your choice.
Haven't you heard the deadly siresn call?
Haven't you heard the warning sings at all?
O Mother, please, forgive me!

I can still hear my father, unable to see the light in my eyes.
O Mother, forgive me,
How could I be blind to your own tears?

This is my choice, my fight, my struggle for life,
I will hold on against all the winds.
Whatever the price to pay
I am the runaway, runaway.

I tried to fly away but forgot I had no wings.
I tried to reach Atlantis but forgot I had to breath.
I tried to touch the fire but I got my fingers burnt.
I tried to win the race against time but forgot the one I loved.

I tried to fly away but forgot I had no wings.
I tried to reach Atlantis but forgot I had to breath.
I tried to touch the fire but I got my fingers burnt.
I tried to win the race against time but forgot the one I loved.

I tried to fly away, to reach Atlantis
(To reach Atlantis).
I tried to touch the fire but I got my fingers burnt.
I tried to win the race against time but forgot the one I loved.

This is a race against time I have to win,
Don't stand in my way tonight.
Whatever the price to pay
I am the runaway, runaway.


4. EVE'S LAST DAUGHTER

Oh Eve behold the tears of your last daughter on earth
And pray for her children forever lost

She's walking through empty streets
Dragging her feet on the ground
Her stare meets nothing but death
Lifeless silhouettes all around

While smoke is shrouding the town
Flames are consuming her house
Ashes are filling the air
Leaving a taste of death in her mouth

Why did men wreak death on their brothers?
We built our own pyre

Oh Eve behold the tears of your last daughter on earth
Left alone in a world lain to waste
She prays and she cries
For her children forever lost

She's clinging to memories
Of happiness and hope
Laughters, distant and dull
Seem so far away in the past

And she can't see any light
Darkness swallowing her heart
Fallen from the Garden of Eden
Thrown down to vultures and to wolves

There's no one left here anymore
No one to save, no one to love


5. LET'S PLAY WITH FIRE

Démons Dieux et Diables
Idiles de pierre et de marbre
Le sang et les larmes abreuvent la soif de vos armes
Combien d'enfants faudra-t'il vous sacrifier encore?

Broken by a world that doesn't walk
The same pace as mine
Broken by betrayals, treacheries and lies
Broken by the fear of what's waiting for me
Beyond my terrestrial life
Broken by those one track minded moralizers

Can't we break free from superstition and lies
Why are these men putting
These strange ideas in their mind?

Let's play with fire tonight
Let's pretend we don't feel the burn of our skin
Let's play with winterly ice
Let's pretend we don't feel the frost on our lips
Let's play with devils and gods
Let's pretend men could leave religion to the past

Broken by puppeteers pulling the strings
From beyond the sky
Broken like a doll too worn and torn apart
Broken by the hatred and the howling injustice of men
Broken is the trust I put in Human Kind

Can't you see we are all the same in this world
Why do we need those crutches
To stand up and face our life

Let's play with fire tonight
Let's pretend we don't feel the burn of our skin
Let's play with winterly ice
Let's pretend we don't feel the frost on our lips
Let's play with fire and sparks
Let's pretend we don't feel the bite in our flesh
Let's play with devils and gods
Let's pretend men could leave religion to the past


6. ON THE ROAD TO BABYLON

Babel ad caelum culmen pertinet
Babel confusum est labium terrae
Babel ibi confusum est labium terrae
Babel dispersit eos Dominus

Babel là-haut m’appelle, des étoiles plein les yeux
Babel, fierté humaine, maudite des dieux

What are you going to do now your God betrayed us
Breaking us all down confusing our language and our souls
Scattering the People, defying him over the world
Waging war upon refugees, deaf, hopeless and blind

What are you going to do when the Tower falls down
You were so brave, so high
So close to the sky
Did you really think
You could rival with God
And not incur His wrath

But a wind of change has blown
All the pieces of this game away
The rules have changed
Let us build a new dream
From the ruins of today

On the road to Babylon
A shroud of confusion did blind us
And covered the souls of the Proud
On the road to Babylon
There’s a wind of misunderstanding that blows our will away
We were building a city so strong and so high
It could even embrace the stars

What are you going to do now your God breaks down
Watching all the flocks of sheep diving right into the sea
Following their leaders and your pathetic church and ministers
Trying to canalize the deepest instincts of human kind

What are you going to do when your children wake up
On a world of fear, of war, of tears, and madness
Do you really think there’s a durable way to hide
The bloodstains on your hands

But a wind of change has blown
All the pieces of this game away
The rules have changed
Let us build a new dream
From the ruins of today

On the road to Babylon
A shroud of confusion did blind us
And covered the souls of the Proud
On the road to Babylon
There’s a wind of misunderstanding that blows our will away
We will build a city so strong and so high
It will even embrace the stars


7. ON THE WINGS OF TIME

Never look into the mirror
Unless you're ready to face the crude reality:
Just close your eyes and let it be.

Years are lingering across my cheeks,
The fear of time slowly passing by
Hidden in my eyes.

Tears are falling upon my hands,
As dry as the desert under the burning sun,
The left on my lips, the taste of sorrow and pain.

Time will spread its wings and fly
Like an eagle through the winds.
The tide will wait for me until I'm ready to be free,
To be free (to be free), to be free.

Through your fingers
Time is flowing like a river to the sea,
Just like those tears from your eyes.
Through your fingers
Your life is flowing like a river to the sea,
Just like the lines of your hands.

I can see a young girl that I will not ever be again.
So hard to think that she was me,
So fragile and innocent,
Looking for shelter in the wrong arms,
Breaking the bonds that helped me not to stumble and fall.

Time will spread its wings and fly
Like an eagle through the winds.
The tide will wait for me until I'm ready to be free,
To be free (to be free), to be free.

Through your fingers
Time is flowing like a river to the sea,
Just like those tears from your eyes.

Through your fingers
Your life is flowing like a river to the sea,
Just like the lines of your hands.

Your youth will fade away
Like the echoes of singing bells in the dark.
Your memories will turn as pale
As old photographs loosing theis colors
As time passes by.
How long will it last?
Only a fool would say.
Never look into the mirror
And listen to the bells of oblivion.


8. CATHEDRAL OF THE DAMNED

Domine, quare obdormis? Domine ne repellas in finem!
Domine, quare obdormis? Domine faciem tuam avetis!
Circumdederunt me gemitus mortis, circumdederunt me dolores inferni
Circumdederunt me gemitus mortis, circumdederunt me dolores lacrimae

There’s a secret fortress in the desert
Bathed in a golden burning sun
With a crackled earth and barely a sign
Of water ever falling from the sky
Will I ever find my way
Through the riddles and the trials

Holy cathedral of the damned souls
I’ve been searching for a sign
Holy cathedral of the tormented hearts
I’ve been looking for your shrine
I’ve been waiting all my life for the call
Of your bells, your choirs and your grand organs
Listening to the wind all around my heart

There are poisoned sources and illusions
Viciously abusing your mind
There are winged and frightened idols of marble
And men kneeling in front of their holy swords
But can’t they see the blood
Still shining on their blades
But can’t they hear the storm
Now rising above their heads
For we lost our souls
In the search of that illusionary shrine

Holy cathedral of the damned souls
I’ve been searching for a sign
Holy cathedral of the tormented hearts
I’ve been looking for your shrine
I’ve been waiting all my life for the call
Of your bells, your choirs and your grand organs
Listening to the wind all around my heart

Holy cathedral of the damned ones
Where do your bells and your spires hide?
Don’t blind me with your lies
Holy cathedral of the damned ones
Don’t let ambition devour my heart
And my soul

Holy cathedral of the damned souls
I’ve been searching for a sign
Holy cathedral of the tormented hearts
I’ve been looking for your shrine
I’ve been waiting all my life for the call
Of your bells, your choirs and your grand organs
Listening to the wind all around my heart

This is the last minute Cathedral
Right under my eyes
This is the last minute Cathedral
Right in my heart
This is the last minute Cathedral
Right under my eyes
With its deafening silence howling inside my heart

This is the last minute Cathedral
To light my wasted life
This is the last minute Cathedral
Turning to sand...


9. DAUGHTER OF THE NIGHT

Libera me, Domine, de morte aeterna.
In die illa tremenda,
Quando coeli movendi sunt et terra,
Tremens factum sum.
Dum discussio venerit atque ventura ira
Ego et timeo.

Dies irae! Dies illa!
Dies irae!
Calamitatis et miseriae!
Dies magna et amara valde!

Take my hand and dance with me.
Let us now defy the shadows that we used to be.
Let us now ignore the turns of fate
Together again.

Tell me about your life, your sorrows.
I want to know your deepest thoughts
And your wildest fantasies.
Now it's time to share your burden
With me tonight.

The spirits of the night are welcoming us.
The spirits of the night are sheltering us
From the crude, cold light,
They will dim the colors of reality.

I'm the Daughter of the Night,
There's no way out of my grasp.
I'm the Daughter of the Night,
Just come and rest in my arms.
Sweet dreams and nightmares are my realm,
Nothing seems impossible
If you give me your hand.

Dies irae! Dies illa!

Shapes and shadows and distant voices,
Way too far from you
To hear your desperate silent call.
Faces you can't even remember
Are just want I want you to see.

It's not a game, there's no prize to fight for,
It's just a choice
And I am of no help in guiding you.
You must cling to a hope
Or join us in the abyss,

Where the spirits of the night are welcoming us.
The spirits of the night are sheltering us
From the crude cold light.
They will dim the colors of reality.

I'm the Daughter of the Night,
There's no way out of my grasp.
I'm the Daughter of the Night,
Just come and rest in my arms.
Sweet dreams and nightmares are my realm,
Nothing seems impossible
If you give me your hand.

I'm the Daughter of the Night,
Sweet dreams and nightmares are mine.
I'm the Daughter of the Night
And I'm holding you in my hand.
I'm the Daughter of the Night,
The sweetest confessor you will ever find.
Now tell me about your pain,
Your sorrows, your life
Before I read them myself from your eyes.


10. ATLANTIS

I was born too soon, eager to enter the world.
I grew up too fast, I forgot to be a child.

This is a race against time I have to win,
Don't stand in my way tonight.

I tried to fly away but forgot I had no wings.

This is your voice, this is your choice.
This is your way, this is your life,
This is your voice, this is your choice.
This is your way, this is your life,
This is your voice, this is your choice.
Haven't you heard the deadly siresn call?
Haven't you heard the warning sings at all?
O Mother, please, forgive me!

I can still hear my father, unable to see the light in my eyes.
O Mother, forgive me,
How could I be blind to your own tears?

This is my choice, my fight, my struggle for life,
I will hold on against all the winds.
Whatever the price to pay
I am the runaway, runaway.

I tried to fly away but forgot I had no wings.
I tried to reach Atlantis but forgot I had to breath.
