AORNOS LYRICS

1. Ad Futuram Memoriam

[Instrumental]

2. From a Higher Reality

Bleeding crack in the sky
Reveal the unfriendly creatures of the higher spheres
The crawling chaos in the dark night
He will arise to deliver the gift

Umbrosus Spiritus
Descendit ad infernos
Umbrosus Spiritus
Ascendit ad caelos

The universe unveils
A glowing entrance to destiny
In a circle of stars
You scream in revision all of you

Umbrosus Spiritus
Descendit ad infernos
Umbrosus Spiritus
Ascendit ad caelos

And I saw the dreadful Dragon
What was it fell tonight from the evil Moon?
Grave-guardian had I become
Aloft, in the lone mountain-fortress of Death

Fire, elementary fire
Convulsive void, black cosmic matter
Light, nucleation light
Never seen projection, the last sigh

Bleeding crack in the sky
Reveal the unfriendly creatures of the higher spheres
The crawling chaos in the dark night
He will arise to deliver the gift

The universe unveils
A glowing entrance to destiny
In a circle of stars
You scream in revision all of you

The terrible embrace of the Serpent
Wraps the waist of Existence
With her magic power breaks
The might of Time

3. The Kingdom of Nemesis

Vide, The best was created
In the name of the One
This was horrible hour, when all things material became uncertain

Burning in fire of appearing visions again
The might of the Will calling demons from Beyond...
The force of a thousand death-spewing gargoyles in my Stronghold

I shall release the apocalypse
I will not be looking superficial
I'm incarnating in the Sign
Bursting with life in the Word

I enjoy those moments
And maybe I'll accompany the legions of Underworld
A worthy end, no remorse!

My deed is the way of your future
Your dreams are lost in perfect destruction
The great army in front of the Burning Lake
The Kingdom of Nemesis comes

The Black Sun takes control
And may these ageless Stones
Forever remember this night

I walk and dream among damned spirits
The Kingdom of Nemesis comes
A worthy end, no remorse!

4. Trace to Beckoning Fade

Night was the darkest when I immersed in vain
To left the utmost depths,

Echoing voices called me pressured and deathless
And solitude demised.
Darkness beyond light quenched my sense forevermore
Ruinously, all-after,
By insanity and madness, float within the flames
Deep down in waters.

The haze of sore attached the fears from Unknown
Exploring the pain,
To break the life was to stare into the Darkness
With sigils nothing.

I rode the corners of the utter glory

The umbrage of fire-ages unfolds,
And followed the tunnel of the eclipse.

Within the elements ones seek to align
And yearning the vessel to the waters of time,

I rode the corners of the utter glory

The haze of sore attached the fears from Unknown
Exploring the pain,
To break the life was to stare into the Darkness
With sigils nothing.

5. Come and See

Come and see, now eternities opens
Reveal the coil of supralunar sphere

Vide the depth of Higher Reality
Where the dimensions are multiple

Through the vortex of cosmic sea
Breaking cobweb of Infinite Might
In the grasp of cursed Grace
Tear myself from time and space

The dark entropy grows infinitely
Cyclical genesis and annihilation

Five billion years later
The Earth falls into the Sun

Supermassive light – swallow Black Hole
Brings the End Of All Things

Through the vortex of cosmic sea
Breaking cobweb of Infinite Might
In the grasp of cursed Grace
Tear myself from time and space

Come and see, now eternities opens
Reveal the coil of supralunar sphere

Supermassive light – swallow Black Hole
Brings the End Of All Things

6. The Great Scorn

The time is at hand when you will have forgotten everything
And the time is at hand when all will have forgotten you

Nitimur In Vetitum
Exuberancia
Nitimur In Vetitum
Non omnis moriar

The dragon stood on the shore of the sea
And I saw a beast coming out of the sea
It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name
The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast
People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast
And they also worshiped the beast and asked, "Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?"

This calls for wisdom!

Let us make man in our image according to our likeness
And let them rule over the fish of the sea
And over the fowl of the heaven, and over the beasts
And over all the earth, and over everything that creepeth and moveth on the earth

Misguided pride
The meaning of creation
Everyday there is a holocaust
For species other than humans

Kill them all!
He will know His own
The Apocalypse is not the end of the world
But rather it is the doomsday as we know it

This calls for wisdom!

7. De Profundis

[Instrumental]

8. Funeral March for the Death of the Earth

O vast convocation, magnificent suns,
Gather and loosen your masses of gold;
Lead tenderly, sadly, to solemn accords
The majestic funereal march of your sister, asleep.
The sands have run out! The Earth, forever dead,
After a final gasp (where a sob trembled!)

Among the nocturnal silence of echoless calm,
Floats, an immense and solitary wreck.
That dream! Swept away by the night, is it true?
You are only a shroud, inert and tragic mass;

And yet remember! Oh, epic saga, unique! ...
No, sleep; it's over now. Eternally, sleep.

O vast convocation, magnificent suns ...

But the rebel, frail and impure, appears!
He plunders sacred Maya's beautiful veils,
And the sob of Time springs upward toward the stars ...
But sleep; it's over now. Eternally, sleep.

O vast convocation, magnificent suns ...

Oh! Can you forget the medieval night
When Terror would intone the "Dies irae"

While Famine ground the old exhumed bones
For Plague whose fury guts the charnel house!
Remember that hour when man in his ultimate fear,
Under the barren sky, still clinging to Grace,
Cried "Glory to God the Just," and cursed his race!

And the stake! The irons! Tortures! Jails!
Bedlam and towers, brothels!
Alchemy! And music! And the arts!
Science! And war to fertilize the land!
And luxuries! Spleen, love, and charity!

Hunger and thirst, drink, ten thousand ills!
Oh, what a drama you lived, fast-cooling ashes!
But sleep; it's over now. Eternally, sleep.

O vast convocation, magnificent suns ...

... nameless within the unremembering darkness -
It was a dream! Oh no, you never lived!
All is alone! No witness! Nothing to see or to think.
Nothing but darkness, time, and the silence ...

O vast convocation, magnificent suns,
Gather and loosen your masses of gold;
Lead tenderly, sadly, to solemn accords
The majestic funereal march of your sister, asleep.

[Hungarian translation:]

Ó, gyászkísérete pazar fényű Napoknak,
hullámozz, kavarogj, aranyszínű tömeg,
holt húgotok mögött, kit most temetni fognak,
lassan, búsan, komor zenére lépjetek.
Beteltek az idők! Halott a Föld örökre,
egy zokogásba fúlt halálhörgés után!

Sötét, visszhangtalan, szélcsendes éjszakán
lebeg, mint puszta roncs, némaság van körötte.
Mily álom! hát igaz? nem vagy, csak szarkofág,
nem több az éj vizén tragikus, holt tömegnél?

Ó, páratlan, dicső eposz, te! Mégis eszmélj!...
Nem, mindez véget ért, aludj örökre hát.

Ó, gyászkísérete pazar fényű Napoknak,

De jött egy buja lény! Maja szent fátyolát
e vézna lázadó foszlánnyá szakította,
és az idők jaja felsírt a csillagokra...
De mindez véget ért, aludj örökre hát.

Ó, gyászkísérete pazar fényű Napoknak,

Sosem felejted el a középkor sötétjét,
hol a "Dies irae" halálharangja szólt

Éhség őrölte meg a vén, földből kiszórt
csontokat, s Döghalál aratta dús vetését.
Midőn az ég alatt reményevesztve állt
a riadt ember, és vakon bízott a Kegyben,
zsolozsmát zengve s önfaját átkozva egyben!

S a máglyák! tömlöcök! ólomkamrák! a kínpad!
Gályák, bordélyok és tébolydák börtöne,
a régi lelemény! művészetek! zene!
tudomány! s háború, trágyázója a síknak!

Éhség, szomj, alkohol, ezernyi nyavalyák!
Fényűzés! unalom! szeretet s könyörület!
Hány drámát éltek át e hamvak, míg kihűltek!
De mindez véget ért, aludj örökre hát.

Ó, gyászkísérete pazar fényű Napoknak,

...sötétbe veszve, nincs neved sem.
Csak álom volt! Soha nem léteztél tehát!

[Original poem by Jules Laforgue]

9. Adamante Notare

You see: behold the Black Mirror
And forgotten voice is creeping from Beyond

Slurred and whirling dimensions
Disintegrating time and space
A question of the I, a question of existence
Buried in depth of Secret-Well

Mysterious crimson Dawn
The calling of rolling Dream-shapes
Dream and breathe in the cold Sun
Wander around the edge of the cosmos, eternally

Alpa! Cried I, who carries his ashes to the mountain?
Alpa!
Alpa! who carries his ashes to the mountain?

Man is a rope stretched between the animal and the Übermensch- a rope over an abyss
A dangerous crossing, a dangerous wayfaring, a dangerous looking-back, a dangerous trembling and halting

I am Herald of the Lightning
Sombre is human life, and as yet without meaning: a buffoon may be fateful to it
Mine ego is something which is to be surpassed: mine ego is to me the great scorn of man
Mysterious crimson Dawn
Dream and breathe in the cold Sun

Slurred and whirling dimensions
Disintegrating time and space
A question of the I, a question of existence
Buried in depth of Secret-Well

Chaos nychion
Exuberancia
Apeiron chaos
Nyx melaina
