Elend
Album • 2003
We have waited so long. My starving eyes, Drunk to see. We have waited so long. Blind, Neither living nor dead, We could have died to see the world in bloom. Poisonous eye Poisonous eye The eyes of men, they withered in the Sun Poisonous eye Poisonous eve And reason enslaves us no longer Yet vision is all that matters To a wayward traveller, Another dream... another dream is all we are longing for. In every shade, a fragment of light, In every shape, every colour, The chasms of solitude. In the temple of truth, we were burning And we saw the dim Sun swallow the sky. Cast out from the scorn of men, In a desert effaces, Can we live without shame? Can we die without pride? Poisonous eye All joy is gone Seven eyes to see All joy is gone Seven eyes to bleed Poisonous eye

Don't tear apart your name It hides you Don't tear out your love, You can't depart from me. You'll stay away from harm. Abide by me when indecision strikes, Down there with me, Let me enfold you: I cannot escape our frail embrace. I bend under the morning light But I could scale the face of life. Mock me, mock me If my voice is unsteady. I am just worn out with dreams. Under your pale sardonic sky, I am watching myself crawl. Down to me, Down with me, Onward a new path, Let me enfold you: We cannot escape our frail embrace, We bend under the morning light.

Beauty dies of beauty, Love of love. In the fever of our waiting, We were deceived Without deceivers, Without betrayers. A mirror waits for your face And I have been awaiting you

Skies visible Under the seaside shadows. By the city, by the gates, Streets of sands / Sadness strays. The war is over now, The pain is over now. Fair eyes still can't see The healing time provides. Warless I could not see. Sous des cieux fades promesses Des horizons hallucinés La terre nous était désormais étrangère Patris - Pontos Les flots brisés Le sillage ... un enclair Terre, mer, cieux mélanges ... Seuls les vents hurlent a nos oreilles Nos yeux fracassés que le sang aveugle... Sur une mer demontée, machine de colère Watch over me Beyond the velvet veil of fear, A firmament of grieves, A century of burning. We were tempted by a shade: In war times, only The shell of loneliness is safe. But under war-broken trees, Dreams come fast... Dreams come when you are weary of the Sun.

Worse than mourning Disdain dances at my side. Another wasted day And shadows stained Your silent face. Yet weary with passions, The sevenfold seas were young, Your sibilant eyes bloodied With tears. I'll pray for you, I'll stay away from barren stars. The land is just an ocean of fear And your love has vanished.

And I became the great deceiver To see what fair eyes still cannot see: A tear in every sea, A fragment of light exhausted. Vision is all that matters to traveller a wayward Through centuries of burning We have waited so long... Clothed in the serpent's skin, From the portal I was calling you lay me in the dust of the dead. A swan in agony

At night we were drowning, Mesmerized by your songs, We were lured Into the maze of our love. When the drop of life burst: An ocean of joy And freedom for the newborn sailor The newborn sailor Through aeons of time, Our eyes were smothered by the Sun. Now even in the dark we see: Wanton light steers us no more, Eyeless we sailed. When the drop of life burst: An ocean of joy And freedom for the newborn sailor The newborn sailor

The night shade A dark colonnade The cypress, then the shore... I sought comfort in the foam. The wind heals the pain. A pale November rises. You know how in days gone by Even night sought shelter Under the plain masks of daylight. Bitterness the wait: We are the fruit of rainy hours. As Ulysses looking seaward, We mocked our innermost abodes. We sailed on older seas And reached the bounds of deepest water. A wreckage in the rain A wreckage in the rain But the wind heals the pain.

Amidst the streams of the river, the flow was achanging And autumn rain unfolded its charm. With the thorns of absence So sweet to your skin - In the dusty veils of morning, You had forgiven all bearing. The land blessed the manifold faces of your love. The garden lies asleep, the grave unclouded And we dance about a fallen Sun. Night-moths on her wings: A staggering moon.
