1. L'autre Monde
[Music and Lyrics by Arkdae]
Dans l'obscurité
Je cherche ton son
Pour me guider
Pour éclairer
Mon horizon
Telle est la vie
Qu'on m'a donné
Je dois errer
Dans les ténèbres
Pour l'éternité
J'ai parfois envie
D'autres plaisirs
De petites joies
Des raisons de vivre
Ou d'exister
Mais je reste seul
Dans mes pensées
Mon univers
Reste fermé
A tout jamais
Ecoute moi
Entends moi
C'est mon cri
Qui t'appelle
Emmène moi
Entraîne moi
Dans ces lieux
Interdits
Prends ma main
Prends ma main
Guide mes pas
Dans cette vie
Prends mon âme
Prends mon âme
C'est mes rêves
Qui s'éclairent
J'ai aimé
Tant d'idées
Que j'ai dû
Inventer
Seul le bruit
M'a compris
Et me mon-
-tre ma vie
Vois mes larmes
Vois mes larmes
Qui s'écoulent
De la mort
C'est mon c?ur
C'est mon coeur
Qui attend
La lumière
[Translation]
[The Other World]
[Music and Lyrics by Arkdae]
In darkness
I search your sound
To guide me
To enlighten
My horizon
This is the life
They gave me
I have to wander
In darkness
Forever
I sometimes need
Some other pleasures
Some small joies
Some reasons to live
Or to exist
But I stay alone
With my thoughts
My world
Stay closed
Forever
Listen to me
Hear me
This is my cry
Which is calling you
Take me
Lead me away
To these forbidden
Places
Take my hand
Take my hand
Guide me
In this life
Take my soul
Take my soul
That's my dreams
Which are enlightening me
I've loved
So many ideas
That I had
To invent
Only the noise
Understood me
And showed me
My life
Behold my tears
Behold my tears
Which are flowing
Out of death
That's my heart
That's my heart
Which is waiting< for
The light
2. L'ombre Triste
[Music by Arkdae, Lyrics by M.Camu]
Les ailes collées par ton sang au pavé
et le jour qui éclaire ton spectre écrasé.
Parfois tu me fais peur, tu me fais voir
la mort au fond de l'abîme, au milieu de la rue
Tu ressembles à cette feuille de papier
lisse comme le ciel, un beau jour d'été.
Mais un peu de sang colle ta peau au pavé.
Et j'ai peur, et j'ai froid, c'est ma mort, c'est ta mort que je vois.
Ils ont écrasé ta tête et ton coeur,
ils t'ont tout volé, pauvre spectre écrasé.
J'ai envie de pleurer; pourtant je ne t'aime pas.
[Translation]
[The Gloomy Shade]
[Music by Arkdae, Lyrics by M.Camu]
The wings stuck on the pavement by your blood
And the day which enlightens your crushed spectre.
Sometimes you frighten me, you make me see death
in the depths of the abyss, in the middle of the street.
You look like this paper sheet
Smooth like the sky in a beautiful summer day
But a small amount of your blood is stuck on the pavement
And I'm frightened, and I'm cold / It's my death, it's your death I behold
They crushed your head and your heart
They stole you everything, poor crushed spectre
I need to cry though I don't love you
3. Night Rain
[Instrumental]
4. Le Rêve De La Nymphe
[Music and Lyrics by Marquise Ermia]
Prends mon corps
Je te donne ma chair
Prends mon âme
Je te donne ma vie
Etre sans complexe
En moi naît le désir
Amené par ta main
Qui elle seule me comprend
J'affectionne tes caresses
Celles qui me rendent belle
Et qui guident mes pas
Vers cet endroit si sombre
Apprends moi à aimer
De tes doigts longs et fins
J'ai envie de goûter
A ton fruit défendu
Sans m'être investie
Le plaisir monte en moi
Je sens venir ma fin
Et pourtant je respire
Tu as su réveiller
En moi tant de mystères
Que je ne puis rester là
Sans goûter à ta chair
Alors emmène moi
Dans cet antre de vie
Où personne n'est plus
Ce qu'il prétend éter
[Translation]
[The dream of the Nymph]
[Music and Lyrics by Marquise Ermia]
Take my shell
I give you my flesh
Take my soul
I give you my life
A human being without complex
Desire is arising within me
Brought by your hand
Which is the only one to understand me
I'm fond of your caresses
The ones which make me pretty
The ones which guide my feet
To this place so dark
Teach me love
With your long and slender fingers
I'd like to taste
Your forbidden fruit
Without being involved
Pleasure is arising inside me
Death is coming
But I'm still breathing
You awaked
So many mysteries inside myself
That I can't stay here
Without tasting your flesh
So take me
To this cave of life
Where nobody
Is real
5. Miserere
[Music by Arkdae, lyrics is a part of thirteenth century Latin hymn thought to be written by Thomas of Celano]
Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla:
Teste David cum Sibilla.
Quantus tremor est futurus,
Quando iudex est venturus,
Cuncta stricte discussurus!
Tuba mirum spargens sonum
Per sepulcra regionum,
Coget omnes ante thronum.
Mors stupebit et natura,
Cum resurget creatura,
Iudicanti responsura.
Liber scriptus proferetur,
In quo totum continetur,
Unde mundus iudicetur.
Iudex ergo cum sededit,
Quidquid latet apparbit:
Nil inultum remanebit.
Quid sum miser tunc dicturus?
[English translation by William Josiah Irons:]
Pity
Day of wrath! O day of mourning!
See fulfilled the prophets' warning,
Heaven and earth in ashes burning!
Oh what fear man's bosom rendeth,
when from heaven the Judge descendeth,
on whose sentence all dependeth.
Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth;
through earth's sepulchers it ringeth;
all before the throne it bringeth.
Death is struck, and nature quaking,
all creation is awaking,
to its Judge an answer making.
Lo! the book, exactly worded,
wherein all hath been recorded:
thence shall judgment be awarded.
When the Judge his seat attaineth,
and each hidden deed arraigneth,
nothing unavenged remaineth.
What shall I, frail man, be pleading?
6. Valley Of The Pain
[Music by Arkdae, Lyrics by Marquise Ermia]
Valley of pain
Each tree is a part
Of sadness
Behold deep rivers
Which are a drop
Of a girl
Singing a song
Towards time
Forever
Dream never ends
I walk upon the plain
In your heart
The horses cry
Hear their words
From another edge
Valley of pain
Each tree is a part
Of sadness
7. The Final Battle
[Instrumental]
8. Maze
[Music and Lyrics by Marquise Ermia]
In my eyes
I saw your face
Shining in my skin
In my eyes
My heart is crying
Drops of sadness
In my eyes
You read my face
And all I am thinking
I can't remember why
My life past
As a dream, as a dream
And as a dreamer
I'm lost in the shadow
Of a maze
9. Anathème
[Music and Lyrics by Arkdae]
Un anathème est tombé
Sur cette pauvre humanité
Le monde sombre dans le sommeil
La lune a caché le soleil
Et le ciel qui se couvre
Comme des bras qui s' ouvrent
Répandant l'obscurité
Sur notre monde damné
Le bruit sourd du tonnerre
S'affirme comme la colère
Des forces de la nuit
Revenu prendre la vie
Les hommes crient de douleur
Et implorent leur créateur
Face à l'avancée funèbre
De l'emprise des ténèbres
Le froid s'est emparé
De nos enveloppes mutilées
Et nos faibles coeurs battant
Pleurent leur dernier chant
Sur les fleuves naviguent les corps
De nos frères maintenant morts
Et vont se jeter lentement
Dans les mers noires de sang
La terre pourrie répand son odeur
De mort, de vie qui se meurt
De ses charniers fumants
Dans l'air froid et glaçant
Au lointain sonne le glas
Que plus personne n'entendra
Pour une fin annoncée
Un rêve annihilé
Le vent s'est levé
Sur ces plaines désertes et glacées
Où la mort s'est répandue
Où la vie n'existe plus
Et un nuage de poussière
Recouvre toute la terre
Le chaos a imposé
Son sceau sur l'humanité
Terre meurtrie, pleure ta destinée
Tout a cessé d'exister
La sentence s'est achevée
[Translation]
[Anathema]
[Music and Lyrics by Arkdae]
An anathema has fallen
On this poor humanity
The dark world is falling asleep
The moon has hidden the sun
And the sky is becoming cloudy
Like arms which are opening
Spreading darkness
All over our damned world
The dull sound of thunder
Is like the anger
Of the power of the night
Which is coming back to take life
The human beings scream in pain
And beseech their creator
In front of the funeral walking
Of the grip of darkness
Coldness caught
Our mutilated bodies
And our weakly-beating hearts
Cry their last song
The shells of our dead brothers
Float on the rivers
And are slowly flowing
Into the black-blooded seas
The rotten earth exhales its stench
Of death, of life which is dying
Of its smoking hecatomb
In the cold and freezing air
The bell is tolling far away
Nobody will hear it anymore
For a reported end
An annihilated dream
Wind is springing up
On these deserted and freezed plains
Where death has spreaded
Where life doesn't exist anymore
And a cloud of dust
Covers the earth
Chaos has set
Its seal on humanity
Bruised earth, cry your destiny
Everything stopped to exist
The sentence has been fulfilled
