"I have seen the black universe yawning Where the black planets rule without aim Where they roll in their horrors unheeded Without knowledge or lustre or name" As the first ray of the sun Surrenders to silver shores Underneath the blue Between a tale or truth You can hear a mourning, solitude and sadness I gaze to the cliffs Oh, I remember, yes I do How they long to see the light Each of their days is night And no one can imagine The blackened place where they linger, oh In agony and pain Waiting for a sign And from far horizons You hear a song floating over the sea For thousand years we cried Under the waves Our life to regain The gates of despair open wide Welcome to our paradise One million tears we cried in pain One million fears we bear From the ones with eyes Like bleeding dawn So long we linger over dreams So many times declined To a scarlet rush To praise the one Before the world's creation Descend from horrid primeval aeons He left a gift for mankind Destruction, decay, ecstasy Usher in the fall of modesty When northern lights gleaming beneath frozen cliffs And when all stars align Unspoiled from the eyes of the mortal In his blackened graves He waits to revive one more time For thousand years we cried Under the waves Our life to regain The darkness holds us tight Oh, like a prisoner in time For thousand years we lied In our graves All hope was in vain To enter the gates of the night Welcome to our paradise "There hath he lain for ages and will lie Battening in huge sea worms in his sleep Until the fire shall heat the deep Then once by man to be seen In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die" Now all stars align All oceans start to seethe A gleaming beneath the waves appears I feel them come Hail ye gods of the ancient world Let your rain of blood come unto us Mighty father of darkness rise Drown all foundations with your blackened guise And all life shall fade forevermore For thousand years we cried Under the waves Our life to regain Walk through the gates of despair Welcome to our paradise For thousand years we cried Under the waves Our life to regain Walk through the gates of the night Welcome to our paradise
