Leçons de Ténèbres (1994)
LYRICS:
And Hell saw first the Bringer of Light weep.
"O myriads of immortal spirits! I should not cry,
For who can yet believe, though after loss,
That all these legions, whose exile
Has emptied Heaven, shall fail to reascend
Self-raised, and repossess their native seat?
For this infernal pit shall never hold celestial
Spirit in bondage, nor the abyss
Long under darkness cover. "
Anon out of the earth a fabric huge,
Built like a Temple, rose, with the sound
Of dulcet symphonies and voices sweet,
PANDAEMONIUM... was built!
"In this Capital, of Hell the Temple,
Worship your Emperor,
Worship Lucifer!"

Les Ténèbres du Dehors (1996)
LYRICS:
I heal my wounds in
the orchard of misery
Where the fruits and the trees
have turned to dust.
Be merciful, my Lord.
The meadows of Light and Pulchritude
Are blackened and soiled
by emptiness and despair.
Domine, eius miserere,
Lord have mercy on me.
Eam libera de animis damnatorum
Sine eam fulgere in refugio tenebrarum.
Confutatis maledictis,
Alas, that day of tears
and mourning.
Flammis acribus addictis.
Miserere, miserere,
Salva me.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria.
Hosanna in excelsis.
Eternal rest give unto me, O Lord,
Perpetual Light cannot shine upon
the soul of the Damned.
Salva me, libera me.
Ille sanguis, ille cruor.
Lumen moritur.
Numquam lumen moritur!
Numquam!
Hosanna in excelsis.
Eternal rest given unto me, O Lord,
Because Thou art merciful.
Non dono tibi soporem aeternum,
Nam misericors sum.
[English Translation:]
The Silence of Light
Lord, have mercy on her,
Free her from the souls of the damned.
Let her shine in the refuge of darkness.
For the accursed were silenced
And sentenced to piercing flames.
Have mercy, have mercy,
Save me.
Hosanna in the highest.
Save me, free me.
This blood, this blood that poured out.
The light dies.
Never shall the light die!
I do not grant you eternal rest,
For I am merciful. ELEND | The Silence of Light](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZEs5erFfVOU/mqdefault.jpg)
