EYE OF SOLITUDE LYRICS

1. Act I: Between Two Worlds (Occularis Infernum)

So upon every side the sinners stood
Foerever lost in hearing the truth
Thus underneath the boiling they withdrew
Suffered long enough in fear

Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita
Mi ritrovai per una selva oscura
Ché la diritta via era smarrita.
Ahi quanto a dir qual era è cosa dura
Esta selva selvaggia e aspra e forte
Che nel pensier rinova la paura!
Tant'è amara che poco è più morte;
Ma per trattar del ben ch'i' vi trovai,
Dirò de l'altre cose ch'i' v'ho scorte

I saw and still my heart doth shudder at it
One waiting thus
Even as it comes to pass

When the pain is closer
When the pain is near
In every turn and every world
He come undone

As i suffer no more
Ungracefully
No matter what in every turn
It follows you

Devouring your pain

Tant'era pien di sonno a quel punto
Che la verace via abbandonai.
Ma poi ch'i' fui al piè d'un colle giunto,
Là dove terminava quella valle
Che m'avea di paura il cor compunto,
Guardai in alto, e vidi le sue spalle
Vestite già de' raggi del pianeta
Che mena dritto altrui per ogne calle.

I saw and still my heart doth shudder at it
One waiting thus
Even as it comes to pass

When the pain is closer
When the pain is near
In every turn and every world
He come undone

As i suffer no more
Ungracefully
No matter what in every turn
It follows you

2. Act II: Where The Descent Began

Bodies of old
Irreplaceable in sin
And you forget your memories
For eternity

They are the scars inside
Die alone
Untrivial
As Death comes near

The tyrrants of the soul
Arrive
Devouring all your thoughts
And life

Sinfully
Await
To die alone untrivial
As my death comes dear

Leave
Leave me here
Turn and forget
Slow and incomplete
Flows this life

Calator prin lume
De sfarsit ma ating
Acolo unde-i lumea de apoi

Take All this pain
Wake From this dream
See the shades
Of nothingness
Through the light
Of your constant shame

Sorrow fell
Hard and blackened
On the altor of broken thoughts
Here and after
Deeper down
Where the descent began

3. Act III: He Who Willingly Suffers

Fear - no one else in this dream
Sorrow - scarring no one else
Stay in my dreams
Follow me
End your soul
Remorse feeds the pain
Even though
The soul bleeds

How hard a thing it is to say
What was this forest
Savaged rough and stern
Which in my every thoughts renewes the fear
So bitter it is
And death is a little more
But of the good to treat
Which there i found
Speak will i of the other things i saw
I cannot well repeat
How there i entered

So full was i of slumber
At the moment which i was abandoned
In a true way breath i have reached
And i saw and i felt
At the point i knew the valley was terminated
Which had when consternation pierced my hearth
Although upward i looked
And i beheld my shoulders

Vested already with the planet's rays
Which leadeth onto the night or day
Then it was the fear
A little quieter
That in my heart's like had endured throughout
And the night...
Oh no the night which i had passed so pittiously
And even as he
He who disturbed my slumber
With his distressful breath
Turns to the word
Perilous
And gazed
And so did my soul
That still was playing ownward
Turned itself to be behold the pass
Which never
Never yet a living person left
After my weary body i had rested
The way resumed
I on this desert slope
So that the firm foot ever was the lower
And lower and
Lower above the rage of Death

Mourning the soul
Prays in void
He
Who meets the sorrow

All left in slumber
Soul dismembered
He who willingly suffers

4. Act IV: The Pathway Had Been Lost

The fall
From this world
Caught within
Remembering to uphold the rotting grief
From beyond the downfall
It lives
Sorrow folds me well
To be free to be one
From beyond the grave
It feeds
Sorrow folds me well
To be free to be all

Rest
For i have watched over you
Rest
For I am here

Why?
Why in this torment must i sink?
Why must i bleed?

The fall
From this world
Caught within
Remembering to uphold the rotting grief
From beyond the downfall
It lives
Sorrow folds me well
To be free to be one
From beyond the grave
It feeds
Sorrow folds me well
To be free to be whole

5. Act V: I Sat In Silence

In this poor tragedy
All seems veiled in more shame
Are we now dead
Yet
Are we now alone?

Die with me
Devour your shame
Burn with me
Deny your shame

I sat in silence
I sat all alone
I felt the cold kiss of death
Feeling so warm

I sat in silence
Waiting my turn to be judged

I betrayed you
Don't fight it - embrace it with me
Suffer alone - You
Mortally sinned - I wish
That in your hands
Carefully bleeds your pain
In this poor tragedy
All seems veiled in more shame
Are we now dead
Yet
Are we now alone?

6. Act VI: In The Desert Vast

All these sins are real

The titans who granted
My soul demise
My death
Not too long yet timeless
I reveal my wounds

Watch my own funeral
Fall with every tear
I bleed
No more reality

Suffering is real

The titans who granted
Soul's demise
My death
