Текст песни: Closer to Scaffold + перевод

The descent from the vault

shows itself to be infinite

Transcendent and complete

revealed an attribute of divinity

Sidereal zones of waste

another one garden of silent guilt

Religious supremacy sense

the land of gnosis under the human beliefs

The shining orb of the moon,

the human race and the wild beasts

by earthly limbs and flesh

This fusion mass brings the world to birth

When everything has been tried in vain,

like the storm of modern duality

Marching in existence

the whole heaven shouts and shakes

The mankind was born of the waters

now it’s time to return in flames

The stars are set beyond death

and heaven looked upwards for the human race.

Nailed in centuries, the fall of crest and crown

for all the fires are dim, our souls are still in bounds

And through all varied smoke and cries, the roaring of the sun,

The noise of little lives and brave, reflects the steps so far

Doom and Hope

Denial and Fate

Regret and Return

Hail! Hail!

In a cosmic reflection, immortals we will be

against the laws of gravity, we climbed and disappeared

Nailed in centuries, the fall of crest and crown

for all the fires are dim, our souls are still in bounds

And through all varied smoke and cries, the roaring of the sun,

The noise of little lives and brave, reflects the steps so far

«Some are hung splayed out, exposed to the empty winds,

some are plunged in the rushing floods — their stains,

their crimes scoured off or scorched away by fire.

Each of us must suffer his own demanding ghost.

Then we are sent to Elysium’s broad expanse,

a few of us even hold these fields of joy till the long days,

a cycle of time seen through, cleanse our hard,

inveterate stains and leave us clear ethereal sense,

the eternal breath of fire purged and pure.

But all the rest, once they have turned the wheel of time for a thousand years:

God calls them forth to the Lethe, great armies of souls,

their memories blank so that they may revisit the overarching world once more

and begin to long to return to bodies yet again.»
