Agathodaimon - Near Dark lyrics

This is a world blessed by the victims
Of carnal tragedy
The humans ritual of love and adoration
Dense-woven history

Sentiments decide existance
The artwork that I've bled
Bizarre she defined her presence
With the lament of the undead
When her eyes have bathed in danger
And the moon had new design
In the cradle of our desire all
The blood has turned to wine
But the love no longer remained than
Just a stir to survive
In this labyrinth of perfidity for
My mistress to recover i'll forever strive

Dem Sterbenden - die Hoffnung
Dem Propheten - Der Fluch
Der Liebe - die Dichtung


Die dem Sterben entsprung

The night is crystal clear -
Words are sent from pictures
Sounds that I can't hear -
As weakness wins my body
Selling cheap my soul -
And it's bleeding heart
Eclipsing the whole - planet
History and light

Sometimes, when the sun hides in
The back of the earth when the hungry souls
To whom pain gave birth
Embalm their coldness with the
Blood's warmth then
I can clearly hear the calling of
A lonely and distant star

In the shade of the abhorrent
Yet in the still of the nights -
In the still of the moment
When the moment dies
There she gently approaches
With the new meaning of life

In a haze of hazard, in the withering chill
Baleful's the passion
When hearts stand still

A flood of sentiments entwined
Rattle thru my falling soul
I slumber against the spirit of time
Like a stranger in a foreign world!

In a park, along the alleys
Stained with blood and tears
In the hour, when dusk disperses
Its colors on the white statues

Then I'll wander as a phantom
Of the posthumous regrets
And my fiery lips I'll freeze
With the kiss of these unrivalled statues

"Și-n astă noapte sfîrșește printr-un sărut
Poeme agonizate de-un infinit și-un început"

"The all-engulfing dawn of habitude
Shows his claws again 
Do you still remember our oath?
Til light do us part!?"

Come forth, Feline mere moment of melancholy
Drink deep of my desire the quenchless fire
That unites our tameless embers

Come forth, Feline
Tortured by our final duet
Let thy pale fingers slide on
The petals of the flowers
That thee stained with mortal
Coagulated blood

On the walls
Midnight closes even the stoical eyes
Of the unsleeping portrait's
And the white-eye of a
Lonely candle falls asleep
Into it's own startling solitude

Silent heart desires
The balm that drives away the human waste
Oh come, infidel duchess
Shrouds of frost fall furiously down
Of thee I taste again

Deciphering eternity of it's ruined scripts
Of the tenebrious river I pleasantly sip
Upon lifeless leaves autumn has banished
Arises my lovelorn aura's odyssey

"Un ornic cu rostiri funebre
Suna amiaza-ndîrjit
Iar ceru-mprăștia tenebre
Peste parcul amorțit"

Returned into that park as a whole
Under the questioning eyes of
Stars and heavens
Dreaming away on the lost love I've recovered

Death suddenly rises
Annoyed that he couldn't save me
He turns pale from envy

The seasons vanish and so does this story
As the same poets hand raises the pen
He pictured this spectacle with

The actors fade on the dreary
Alleys of that elder park
Only two nightshades remaining -
Celebrating the sunset of ages
While their sullen laughter
Lustfully haunts the mortal seeds of ruin

Nights were crystal clear - words
Were sent from pictures
The colors have seared - these pages, whereas
The darkest hour revealed -
The mysterious hand which dutifully sealed
