Ethereal Journeys Lyrics - Elend

Vaste oceane stellate, virgo omnis malefici, 

Est hospes mirus se mergens in sinum tuum. 

Creaturam tuam custodi, 

tempestate ignem arce, 

Quem non restinguere potes. 

Venit Lucifer ! 

Venit angelus mortis ! 

Luciferian Revolution ! 

Far beyond the sky, 

Far beneath the heavens, 

Where once before I died, 

To perpetuate my hymen... 

..with a star... 

Heading for the open sky...where the flames 

never dared to come... 

The rays of the moon linking 

the spheres...the molochian comets... 

During my ethereal journeys, 

With celestial glory and pride, 

I will celebrate the day 

When you become my bride. 

To rape the shining stars in the secrets 

of the dying light. 

The starred delights will enrapture 

my soul to insanity. 

Rapturous elevation frightening 

the God of Light. 

I tear the flowers of the sky, 

The firmaments of stars embosomed 

in His Creation, 

But the starlit ocean will not quench my 

thirst for their glowing nectar : 

I drained the wine of a thousand suns. 

Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus, 

Dominus deus sabaoth, 

Pleni sunt caelum et terra gloria tua. 

Hosanna in excelsis. 

You are the light, I am the flame, 

The freezing blow of my thoughts 

unburns me 

And I am dying but cannot die. 

The divine has deserted the altar 

Where your pain is multiplied in the prism 

Of my lust witnessed by the stars. 

The delight burns at its paroxism. 

To rape the shining stars in the secrets 

of the dying light. 

The starred delights will enrapture 

my soul to insanity. 

Rapturous elevation frightening 

the God of Light. 

I was made the Morningstar, 

Embowered from the night... 

God of Lie, I am the Prince of Darkness, 

the Star of Mourning 

Hunting the light for salvation. 

O Domine, 

Dona nobis vim, ut eum oppugnemus. 

In nos luminem perpetuum fundi iube. 

You took the fire in my eyes 

When I was starving of light. 

You take delights from my cries 

For I am dying but cannot die. 

While entrusting the flame 

to a celestial abyss, 

I will get drunk of screaming and of pain, 

And the silence and the night 

will move at last unto me. 

Far beyond the sky, 

Far beneath the heavens, 

Where once before I died, 

To perpetuate my hymen... 

With a star !
