Dancing Under The Closed Eyes Of Paradise Lyrics - Elend

SOPOR AETERNUS... 

O mortis secretum, ubi finis nervorum ? 

O funeris algor, ubi sonus somniorum ? 

The insane wine of the night misled my soul 

At the confluence of dream and of pain... 

We dance under the closed eyes of paradise, 

And our eyes tear the insane space 

of the night. 

Salternus sub oculis coniventibus paradisi ! 

The violence of the winter moon 

spreads a mantle 

Of cold icy pain over my petrified landscape. 

Seized by the freezing frosts 

of the diabolic winter, 

Our hearts breathe the winds of sadness. 

Saliamus, saliamus aeterno, 

Saltemus saltatum mortis ! 

Saliamus, saliamus ! 

But what is in my heart can only be read 

by the winds 

That gathered my words of pain. 

The veil of the night falls at our feet, 

Revealing the views of the fiery sky. 

Kyrie eleison. 

The gentle sapphirian night wrapped me 

in its maternal warmth 

And her hair, studded with stars, 

had a scent of sensuality 

As I lay embraced in her sweet caress. 

How tender is the night 

in her amorous delights. 

Where are the flowers I gave you, my love ? 

The amaranth, the rose and the lily. 

Buried within the glacial vault 

of my thoughts, 

Take from me this fading breath, 

Enfold me in your veil of darkness 

To celebrate the reign of black eternal night. 

And in the snows, glittering 

in the cold fragile moonlight, 

Appeared the incandescent flowers... 

>, 

Said one of our round. 

>. 

We dance... 

..and the blowing of the wind is 

our only music, 

We dance.
