THE ARCANE LYRICS

1. The Call (Al Azif)

When death will die your time shall come
Your sleep will end you’ll rise again
Give me the power to calm the waves
So I can hear your call

Like shadows they grow around an altar of blood
The proof of their vows they will offer to god
The blood of a virgin will spill on the stones
Dancing in circles invoking him free

Unleash the power of one thousand men
Burning in the fire of the dragon’s den
Again and again they will hail for his name
He’ll rise from his grave the master of the game

[Spoken:]
And the cracking sound of the ancient seal
Split the silence reigning
And the holy one with the thousand faces
Appeared in all his shining

2. Under A Moonlit Night

No speech no sound silence remains
I sit and wait to fulfill my destiny

Who knows what may happen tonight
Nightmares might turn into reality

I marvel on that majestic night
If only I could change the past
No one seems to care but me
No one sees it but me

Under a moonlit night
Under a darkened sky
Overnight passion grows
Filling up my soul

3. White Queen

With a sparkle of light this candle burns
Warming up the atmosphere
Immaculate snow melting in steel
Strange incense rises in the air

As the candle reflects in the eye of the lover
The hunger of wolves breeds in his blood
A drop springs out from this shiny spear
Ready to flow in the blood of the kings

Emperor of a new style
Conqueror of hollow kingdoms
Lord of illusions ruler of dreams
All this glory for less than a day

A time will come when reality stands
The slave will bow to the mistress’s whip
Craving and moaning he’ll call for her name
Provider of dreams provider of pain

Emperor of a new style
Conqueror of hollow kingdoms
Lord of illusions ruler of dreams
All this glory for less than a day

I’ve seen the mistress alive in my friends
I’ve heard her name from under their skin
As their eyes turned empty they fell to the ground
Wishing that maybe this one’s for real…

4. Why

I have seen you walk the path of light
You were near me during those days of lies
You were the one who carried me
Over the mountains high
You were the one who saved me
From myself

I have heard you speaking your words of might
Slowly reaching through my sacred heart
Shadow of light shadow of dream
You were my saving hand
Please forgive me

So why did you leave me
Bleeding on my own
And why didn’t you lead me
Through those thorns I’ve worn
I thought you’d be near
One step behind
I thought you’d never leave

You were with me step by step we walked
You were my child you were my vein
You were my only pride
Together we’ll be

I have taught you secrets of life
Storming warmth of innocence overnight over day
Follow me strive with me we’ll fight until the end
We’ll rise up high in the skies

So why did you leave me
Bleeding on my own
And why didn’t you lead me
Through those thorns I’ve worn
I thought you’d be near
One step behind
I thought you’d never leave

5. Des Racines Et Des Ailes

Bowed before the higher one
And a bitter farewell I spoke
To the ones before me who fought
The battle I could not win

Regretfully I leave this land
Sacred soil of our trees
The holy earth of our fathers
And now a wilderness of stone

Look behind the curtains
The veil before our faces
For these tears hidden inside
The dark on the other side

I am the keeper of the flame
To save the ways of our people
The guardian of the remains
Of a once glorious nation

Come see through the eyes of our children
The war of our parents
As time carves on our faces
The story of our land

Find what lies beneath
Within the heart of every man
The land of the book
This story has no name no more

6. Silente (Morning Star)

With a scream of joy I open my eyes
Dragged away from a very strange dream
As they would open to gaze into daylight
They’re cast upon an angel of dark
As she knelt above me with her naked body
She stared thru my eyes reading my thoughts
Like Lilith she rides possessing my heart
A vampire she was the fruit of a sin
The wife of the devil was stealing my child
To offer to him in the name of their vows

Silent and silent everything’s silent
The pain in my neck is so violent
I feel my soul growing old
I feel my heart turning cold

Weaker and weaker my body’s dying
Deeper and deeper my mind is sinking
Slowly and slowly my friends I’m leaving
To face the fears of the livings

Piece by piece I am transformed
With black blood I live again
Sworn to the light under the moon spell
Step by step closer to hell
Inch by inch I rise from my hole
My grave so deep within my soul
As a stream of power flows thru my veins
Turning me into an obscure creature

Darkened streets the moon pesante
Raises the wrath of immortal souls
As I feed from the light of the occult planet
I feel my thirst growing greater
Seek for the neck that will offer me shelter
Sanctuary in a wife’s nectar
Like Iblis I ride seeking for souls
The Lord of the damned I have become
A vampire I am the master of mortals
To finally enjoy eternal kingdom

7. Dream Of Icarus

The curse of an angel has buried my soul
The laugh of a devil left me on my own
They foresaw in me this breathtaking hate
Despising a god for gifting me life

Like a child I was born in this land of lies
I saw in it hope and life
Believed I could fulfill my dreams
I kept on fighting these rivers of lies

I can’t bear no more no will to stay
A dream so close so real yet so far away
I had hopes had faith and now they’re miles away
Only pain remains and never will I wake

Tears of a child spoke through my eyes…

They speak of things never fulfilled
The darkest future is ahead

8. Poison

Son of this wilderness
Struggling to stay alive
Stand tall before this war
Remains of a dead man
I speak these words in pain
Bleeding from deep within
Sentenced for sanity
Bear the cross of man

Wandering throughout these ruins
Seeking the heat of life
Breaking the masks of steel
Inside every soul
Crying to destiny
Have you forsaken me?
Mother come back to me
I’ve been craving for she

Deep within the eyes of a child…
Lies the knowledge of forbidden wisdoms
Dwelling inside the shade of our past…
With the illusions for our future

The simple look of a harmless boy…
The deepest gaze with no false pretend
Unveiling the strongest lie
Within the heart of every man

No place left lost in the dark night
Seeking the heat of a sheltering home
A shot is fired clash in the moonlight
A slashing sound ending his life

Another day dawning with sorrow
Deafening silence in our hearts
Endless words to speak a second
Yet a feeling never expressed

9. Nature War

A dark shroud falls veiling her face
A mother mourns this death of hers
Hiding these tears of hurt
For a love that disappeared
What was to be a love of hers
Grew to be an enemy
The sweetest love often becomes
Bitter venom in your veins

Darkness reigns within the soul
Of he who bleeds the one who loves
She cries to me her pains and wounds
For what will happen finally

As years went by she watched him learn
The arts of life the arts of love
But in the end all that remained
Was the mighty art of war
Shouting the foulness of human deeds
For what they’ve done nature bleeds
Like rain it falls from the sky
Sorrow flows on these streets

Darkness reigns within the soul
Of he who bleeds the one who loves
She cries to me her pains and wounds
For what will happen finally

10. Fight Of Angels
