In Umbra Timpului Lyrics - Agathodaimon

Deep into the darkness peering 

Long I stood there fearing 

Dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before... 

But the silence was unbroken 

And the stillness gave no token 

And the only word there spoken 

Was the whispered word: "Veritas" 

This the dark whispered 

And an echo murmured back the word 

Merely this and nothing more! 

Fools and faith conspire 

Questions of desire 

That they never owned before 

Kings without their armour 

Men without their honour 

We all slip into oblivion 

Monuments of distant knowledge and remains 

Stare undying from this end into the life 

They are the dark inside the night 

The ghosts of which the poets write 

And the dreams that night's embrace 

That slowly leave without a trace... 

Eu te slavesc nocturna, cu bolta innoptarii 

O, doamna a tacerii, 

O, vas al intristarii 

Vreau sa m-agat detine, spre cer navala dind 

cum viermii de-un cadavru s-agata misunind! 

O, suflet sparge-odata, ingustati inchisoare 

Si scutura-te-odata de-alest lut pamintesc! 

Oh, the scarlet skies 

drown the cold sun 

Onto the funeral cries of the dying eve 

And there's a foreign shade in mine 

It's the time's greedy scythe! 

Eu te slavesc nocturna, cu bolta innoptarii 

O, doamna a tacerii, 

O, vas al intristarii 

Vreau sa m-agat detine, spre cer navala dind 

cum viermii de-un cadavru s-agata misunind!
