Les Ténèbres du Dehors (1996)

LYRICS:

Horror atque terror
Quid faciebas, malefice
Die irae, dies ille
Sovet saeculum in favillam.
Lost in the garden,
with the blood on my hands,
Captive of the luminous trees,
Of wisdom and of life
the Holy Keepers,
My face unmasked, monstrous, bloodred,
Is shining through the emerald light.
Numquam diruetur templum
adamantinum
Nos, qui olim vicimus,
vincemus te iternum.
I eat the deadly flowers
of murderous lust,
And begin to chant my freedom.
Musical death, of Heaven the dirge.
The Universe I master,
I make mine the burning delights of life,
The joy of power unbounded,
Eternal Fury of celestial destruction...
Lucifer, damnatus es, pro ea,
quae faciebas.
Persequemur te,
iterum perdemus te,
Inferna dulcius perfugium
Quam vorago cruciatuum,
In quam te praecipitabimus.
Non est dominus noster,
nihil potest.
God is dead
God is dead
God is dead

As I tore the shreds
of this morbid dream,
I abandoned my heart,
And on the silent ocean of my soul,
The waters were so calm
one could hear the dying of light.

[English Translation:]

Horror and terror
Evildoer, what have you done
The day of wrath, that day
Consumes the age to ash.

Never will the adamantine temple be destroyed
We who triumphed once, will defeat you again.

Lucifer, be condemned
For what you have done.
We will persecute you,
We will annihilate you again,
Hell will seem a more pleasant refuge
Than the abyss of torments
Where we will hurl you.
He is not our Lord,
He has no power.
