Текст песни: Arise! + перевод

Lurking in the hall, I in darkness seeking

To wrestle with the dread of death

I in black moods reeking

Drink the sanguine chalice of self-sacrifice

To extinguish all light and hope to see the morn

Arise

From darkened sepulchers

Infernal depths where ancients lie

I cry, exalting inly

«For thine, immoral one

The vapors round the dim firs curled

And day melts into gloom

The gale brings forth no sigh

For thee but trembles at thy name!»

Arise! And grieve gladdened eyes

Who see thou return with creeping

Things that revel in thy spoil

We Stride blind

The wheel is loose, the ship is lost

Waves crash among God’s human hosts

Raise the chalice — it is filled with brine

Sailors sing hymns to night

And breathe eternal air

The salty scent of human despair

Lose hold of the book within the sea

My words will be washed away

My heart does not burn in flame

You know me by the books I read

I have no face — Eaten away

Hands — eaten away

Half perceive and half create

I rot in warm sand

What must I do?

What have I done?

Seagulls scream

O-BLI-VI-ON

It’s cold on bare hillside

North wind cuts through to bone

Inexorable — Unnamable — Unquenchable

And all within the hall were left alone

I in darkness seeking

To wrestle with the dread of death

I in black moods reeking

Drink the sanguine chalice of self-sacrifice

To extinguish all light

And hope to see the morn

Each pulse beats quicker

And a quenched existence

Crouches in the grave

Arise! Awake

Incubus feasts on rotting flesh

While guilty crackle in fire

Power hungry jackals rape the land

Stage explodes, bodies lie in pools of blood

My jaw detaches from my skull

I hold handfuls of my own teeth

Wrath and scorn poured down from the flames

Flesh sacrament from the black abyss

Arise! Awake! Arise

(After Byron’s Lara)
