Cult of Luna: Testi

Cult Of Luna

The Revelation Embodied

A time lost to the sick crowd of a new demonic realm.
Oceans of blood have drowned all humanity.
The stained ground is smoking of burning flesh.
Still attached to human bones. Skulls screaming in pain.
A time when the curse is alive. The horsemen have arrived.
Under the hoofs has the human race tread down into muddy pools of dirt.
The abyss, wide open gap set loose the army of darkness.
Over this forsaken earth day and night the apocalypse rules.
The revelation embodied.

Hollow

My days are counted get of my back.
You're forced into the void of my dreams.
Dead souls no hope all hollow.
Slice up old wounds so shallow.
There is a path to gain pleasure. Try it I'll give you my sorry word.
Stand on your feet look straight ahead cause no one is twisting your arm.
Searching for the right way back. Hold tight. Believe in our embrace.
Don't let them steal your thoughts.
Imagine a lifetime of grace.

Sleep

Leave me behind the black wall of decadence.
Burn it all. Dance with the flames that he dictates.
Breathe in the smoke and get high on misery.
Drifting deeper. The current drags you down.
Rest your eyes. Live amongst the shadows.
Fall into sleep.
Walk through the light.
At last you're on your own.
This time you stand alone.

To Be Remembered

Hide the torch of redemption. It's time for a clean destruction.
Smothered by your innocence. Put them up. I'll wipe em out.
In these eyes I behold your every move.
In these hands I can see what you've done.
Stuck in beliefs. Stuck in fears. Stuck in beliefs.
Licking up what's to be remembered.
In rains of fire I'm walking to the holy land.
In days of sin I'll bury those thought in sand.

Beyond Fate

Take a seat next to thy devil. Reach and grasp beneath my skin.
See my fate. Wreck a lifetime. Gain my heart. Kill my visions.
In those days I denied you for every second.
And now I can't accomplish anything. Still got so much more to give in this life.
I guess I'm heading for regrets.
Once I sold my soul.
That's one sweet regret.

The Sacrifice

Your soul was covered in dirt. The sacrifice was never made. You were unleashed in those days.
Now valid to grasp the inner self. Is your heart gonna cave in. Throw your soul into the sea.
All lessons must be taught heart and minds are unified by now. Sweep up all those mistakes.
Feed the wide open wound...

The Beyond

Inside Fort Meade

"If we surrender our liberty in the name of security we shall
have neither".
- Benjamin Franklin

Receiver

A deep sore dragged through ages
The sores are my own, I know
Wounds collected through a lifetime
And wisdom I pick up along the way
I received the spit from a snake
And the snare cut real deep
I was caught in her womb
Something spreading in my veins
Those walls I faced alone. I crept on bounded knees
The own will just vanished. I wept my compassion away
with tears that flooded your heart. No river leads back to mine
I bow down in soil and whisper
I gather strength to spread the disease

Genesis

Somewhere along the railway a body divided in two
Somewhere between the screams, those visions were never seen
I understood the voice
An ancient sacrifice
Buried in wreck
To rise up in a gaze
In marches the bitter man. Fire away again and again
Hang dry curtains are down. Sink down in dumping grounds
Sirens scream in your head when the march lingers on
Hear the echoes of the ceremonial doom

The Watchtower

Through times I thought of what we created
For greater causes that brought us down to this
The ground is shaking from all the people below
One thing I've learned from this is
What you reap is what you sow
In elderly forms and surroundings
In the flesh of spirits incarnated
They are here for the hate forgotten
A rearview mirror to all lost souls
A slow burn shattered the field
Pain through body fire drained vein
Walk down to the watchtower
And with the right kind of eyes
See waves roll in and over
Never could you see the watermark
Man marches through the rust and dust
The burning fields will soon be ashes
Bodies woven in smoke and skin
And clouds descend to the sea
I see the bonds that tie belief
For this I choose to sink
Walk down to the watchtower
And with the obscure shapes
See smoke roll in and over
Never will we see the lights

Circle

What I have seen behind the frontline
Is what keeps me existing
I can feel it moving through me
Pure electricity
Shabra and shatila rises and retaliates
An invitation that raises the dead
I have seen their fate
The sun sets over holy land
And our last day advances
I can feel it piercing through me
The nails from god

Arrival

Oh new day. Wash my face and wipe these scars away
Clear my thoughts. Imagine the last Empire's demise
Oh new dawn. At last I have died and reborn
The rays burnt through my shell
My mission is summoning me
From the depth of earth I crawled
From Heaven's heights I've descended
The last one to know them all
The first to be rejected
Under cover of white light we meet at the first step
Digging graves for a dying world
In the river, in thin air I am floating. Hovering
Following lessons of past mistakes
Gathering knowledge as I grow stronger
I am the poisoned rain from a darkened sky
I am the burning water and the orphans' cry
I live in the ones who have fallen only to reach for the stars
I am the desert wasteland; I am the spring run dry
When I arrive you become a hypocrite, you become a liar
All that was sacred have I sealed in
The day I'll find you is the day I'll save your soul
The night is upon us and the enemy never sleeps

Leash

All sights melt down and follow to the end of time
They had risen to the skies and sunk in depths of gray
I am woven into the eyes of everyone
There's no hiding from this growing intense slaughter
The will of hunt and kill got you in a tight leash
In rains of crimson colors you lower yourself in blood
Now you will find yourself in the greatest collapse
The time has finally come and wrath has just begun
Dark intentions they meet again
Kill the vein that feeds your light
Take extractions down the grave
Seek them will not make you fade away
Meet the naked eye that beholds your spirit
Face the shadows of your soul in ashes
Follow the snakes into the burning flames

Clones

At the end of the road where lies turn to dust. You'll find the
remains of a girl and the truth that hurt too much. Through
her eyes you'll see that it's true what was said. "Wherever
the river flows it's running red".

Deliverance

Relations are artificial; will we give it a new beginning?
Find the essence in ourselves and escape through the tunnel
Transferring spirits. The second coming
Shattering bodies and rising fire
A broken man came our way. He'd lost his harvest
Sunken, he gazed… There lies the blessing
Forthcoming shadows are unfulfilled
Striving forward and deliver innocence
There lies the blessing
We are striving forward

Further

Below the surface I swim
Holding my breath as I sink deeper
Watching the colors and the shapes
Searching for another way out
Clinging on to every last word
A shred of hope long since forgotten
All that is left is hate and regret
This world got the best of me
Further on. Closing in
Falling down. Giving in...
...To the beyond

Salvation

Echoes

Empty men without regrets
Leaning against each others shoulders
Open spaces fill the gap
Where reason reigned and fell
And I see vapour coming out
Of every crack in the framework
Caught in a vortex between false
Perceptions and reality
Forever
Dead frequencies kill the intellect
And truths that only raindrops see
Frail bodies out in the periphery
Walk like ghosts across the screen
It begins again

Vague Illusions

Awoke in a fever, a feeling that's never been here before
Staring at these walls knowing you're right outside the door
See through me, point your words and make me shiver
This time I know we will go down trying to reconcile
Waiting here for you to save me
Stranded here with my vague illusions and broken dreams
One more time around so degraded
Running in circles these days of endless guilt
There were reasons
There were moments
Reach to me and lead me astray
As the night breathes out the harsh and cold morning
A smoke screen has surrounded the funeral mourners
They march in the wake of broken promises
This time they know we all fall into the rhythm so slow

Leave Me Here

Out of a secret longing
They know their way from here
Out of a growing dream
They follow the road we create
I see what I've cut behind me
Lost on the bottom you often found me there
False conscience is beyond me
Lost in the backwoods I lie open to you here
Just leave me here
These men are running hard
But you keep down your voices
Living only to judge heavy
All mysteries aside there was a truth outside
Leave me here and I'm born again
Leave me here in this void again
Now I am open left for dead
Just like salvation comes in the end

Waiting For You

I am praying for the raging flood
I am waiting for you to come

Adrift

In his arms, locked in that iron grip nothing will reveal
Follow these footsteps and we will reach the bottom
I tumbled down the road that bears his name
Here he dwells, here he prospers and pushes us towards the end
When we are drifting against the tide
Colliding with the very air we breathe
Somewhere the tracks inwards must lead out
A grasp of hope that defeats the will
Always pushed away
Always nothing

White Cell

Where is the rain that purifies and retaliates?
Where is the one I begged for strength to carry on?
Speak to me, I have followed through.
Deliver me from guilt. Take me home
To the source of white light I offer my place.
My sacrifice for its life.
The guilt that stains me vanishes on the other side.
Where is the rain that purifies and retaliates?
Where is the one I begged for strength to carry on?
Walking along the river's flow.
A journey away from original sin.
You and I merge, we become one.

Crossing Over

Traces in snow
A red line grows through and leads me below
Nothing on this side ties me
One step, one glimpse of an eye
One moment can change everything
Wait here 'til my words spread across the sky
And into the chambers of every soul

Into The Beyond

Let me take you down, underneath this false surface
Tonight is the night when we travel into the heart of the unknown
Night reveals what is hidden in the shadows
What you see is just a shell of me
To escape the suffering we keep our emotions at a distance
So far away that our skin becomes our fortress
Leave with me and you'll see what lies ahead
Let's gather in twilight
In those blue reflections
We are coming out as one
That is when we arrive
That is when we realize
This is when we fall down

Somewhere Along The Highway

Marching To The Heartbeats

The sun, the light in your eyes, trapped me in a cage.
When you saw me you saw yourself.
We were the ones that marched and fell.

Finland

These things moved me when I turned my back. Now I return with open hands.
I found light that lead me to the shrine where children sang and pilgrims mourned.
I was lost but not alone.
From a distance they come alive. Sleepwalking across the plains.
No answers were found here. Seeking shelter in her embrace.
Down on sore knees. Erase and begin. Under my eyelids, come forth light.

Back To Chapel Town

Floating over empty streets. Away from pain, away from everything.
Pray that we will survive the night. Buildings falling, the soul vaporised.
Watching you sleep, but I know that your heart has grown cold.
Let me dream if only for tonight, that we leave together in the first morning light.
Alone and forgotten. I bow my head in shame.
Before you all answers reveal. So I sink my sorrows in the sea.

And With Her Came The Birds

Night falls, silence takes a grip. Guilt I retrieved, a burning will to die.
I need this to be over before I am bleeding dry.
Somewhere along the highway these tracks must end.
I pass a crowd on my way to the house on the hill.
Dead man with pitchfork arms tells me all that he knows.
Leave me here for the crows.
In the Fall she came back, and with her the birds.

Thirtyfour

In her eyes he stares at his reflection. A faint dream, that disappeared at dawn.
Standing at the shore patiently waiting. But the waves do not return when she is gone.
So he followed her footsteps, to the highway that sealed his fate.
The wind blew all sand away. Faceless people that walked astray.
Behind the dunes false hope awaits the ones that lost what was loved.

Dim

From the skyline dark clouds move in. They shroud me with her cold cover.
Eyes like daggers puncture the skin. Isolated in a room with no others.
Where do I turn when all hope is lost? Where do I find forgiveness?
My search for salvation has begun. To find a place where our hearts beat as one.

Dark City, Dead Man

When the streetlights fade. Warm rain like judgement descends.
Their voice numbs me. Speaking words in a dead tongue.
I have walked a road that lead me back to you.
From a window our glances met. My true colours I cannot hide.
The landscape has changed. You don’t recognise me.
These pictures slowly fade. Memories wither, they are all gone.
Further down the steps get steeper. You haunt me in my dreams.
I let go and fall deeper. This will be the end of me.

Eternal Kingdom

· Owlwood

Fear roams throughout this land.

Where no man dare tread.
Dark shapes protect the one, not bound by laws or flesh.

Days of isolation.
Regret dominates.
Unwilling to face what awaits outside.
When lights are gone, woodland comes alive.
Fire is born into their eyes.

Ghost of this age.
What the creek take.
From a wretched state rose the willing.

· Eternal Kingdom

His throne is unthreatened.
No man dare to challenge.
Emperor in stone, ruler in disguise.
Take on life form, pass through the fields.

Let kingdom come.
Eternal order done.

Here they collect.
The oath of servants.
By the mountain side.
Follow the pack.

Caveman trapped inside.
Trees and beings come to life.
Emperor in fire, ruler in disguise.
Take on life form, caught in the fields.

Come alive you sovereign.
Gather the herd and lead the way.

· Ghost Trail

Beyond time I traveled.
No space has bound me.
Follow the will I know.
The eternal order revealed.

Past my dreams, all doubt disappeared, my vision became clear.
Treachery is the poison and the union is in our blood.

The king, with beak and talons.
The king, in the form of man.
Nothing escapes those eyes.
He sees everything.

· The Lure ( Interlude )

[instrumental]

· Mire Deep

A wolf pack gathering around the holy fire.
To serve shadow master centre bound.
Mighty eagles sore one last time.
Over minions that found their demise.

Storm filled skies, feel death come crawling.
Land of ice, black chief comes marching.

The vibration of mammoth striding.
Ground is cracking, trees are trembling.
The sight of fearless creatures devastates.
Empowered to the teeth.

Almighty emperor.
Guide me through mire deep.
Almighty emperor.
Show me their true belief.

He, ursmens overlord.

· The Great Migration

Heed the capercaillies call.
A premonition of an oncoming war.
Leave behind all that you hold inside.

The howls gets stronger, they are coming.
Wicked is the atmosphere.
Ungodly is the swell.
Our bodies explode in true emotions.

Let the beacon fires burn.
The night is ours.
A maternal light illuminates these last moments.
Far above the truth, we find and we all return to hell.

· Osterbotten

[instrumental]

· Curse

Tonight I mourn the loss of heart and soul.

The path is taken, The curse received.
Dark and barren in the winter night.
Shadows move along the tree line.

A life is cleansed in blood.
Cleansed by these guilt hands.
Purged in a hollow soul.
Scorched and punished.

At the harbor I waited.
Kept an eye on the Baltic Sea.
Across these eastern waters a country of filth and dirt.
He emerged from the forest, how did he know? I damn this forsaken land.
Still the moon is looming low.

· Ugin

[instrumental]

· Following Betulas

Awaken in the silent night.

Alone, inland hysteria.
I am a stranger in this land.
Here I kneel before you.

Oh, solemn glory.

Standing together on the hill.
Nothing is spoken, but understood.
Below, a procession of wooden men.
Swinging their tree trunks in the wind.

The white birches are alive, they are marching.

________

Mi sono anche permesso di tradurre Curse.

· Maledizione

Stanotte io piango la perdita del cuore e dell'anima.

Il patto è stato fatto, la maledizione è ricevuta.
Buio e arido nella notte d'inverno.
Le ombre si muovono lungo le file degli alberi.

Una vita è stata pulita nel sangue.
Pulita da queste mani colpevoli.
Epurato in un'anima infossata.
Bruciato e punito.

Al porto io ho aspettato.
Tenuto un occhio sul Mare Baltico
Dall'altra parte di queste acque orientali un paese di sconcezze e sporcizia.
Lui è emerso dalla foresta, come ha saputo? Io danno questa terra abbandonata.
Ancora la luna sta illuminando basso.
