Текст песни Descending Messiah (Antichrisis) с переводом

Down in the valley on a midwinter’s night

Walks _The_Crone, unseen by human kind

_Her_ weary heart longing for rest

_Her_ eyes saw too much of sorrow and grief

There was a time when _She_ was adored

And the valley full of bliss and joy

Until the day the gaunt one appeared

He never smiled nor shed any fear!

And he raised his voice «Behold I’m Messiah!»

It was then _She_ knew the time had come!

A dream? A dream?

It’s only a dream!

A dream? A dream?

_She_ lives in my dream

The man, he spoke of commandments and sin

Of wicked wifes, of chaste and virtious men

He’d sown the seed of mischief in their hearts:

Those once proud, now a submissive crowd!

And he raised his voice «Behold I’m Messiah!

I’m the son of god!

I come in fire!

My kingdom come!

My will be done!»

It was the _she_ knew her time had come!

A dream? A dream? It’s only a dream!

A dream? A dream? _She_ lives in my dreams…

Now the blind are leading the blind!

Independence and wisdom exchanged

For ignorance and minority

Seizure and oppression amongst the

Once born free!

But still no one dared

To raise a hand against _The_Crone_

They were aware — despite his sermons —

That _She_ still held

_The_Strength_ and _The_Power_!

And as _She_ makes her way through centuries and decades

_She_ waits for human kind to awake

To snake off the chains of Messiah!

In patience _She_ walks the world in search

For those who uphold

The memento of the Golden Age!

While in his church, in fitful sleep

Formented by nightmares

Lies Messiah in fright of the dark!

The demons he raised to strike the blind with fear

Were not just a mirage: They’ve become

Alive — to haunt Messiah!

To end creation’s devastation, the senseless sacrifice

_She_, _The_Weaver_, weaves The Veil of Damnation!

And out of the dark, _Valkyries_ and _Erinyes_ rising

Avenging Angels of doom?

Called by _The_Crone_ the wandering ones

Seek for vengeance

Awaiting The Last Stand!

The Earth awakes in fire, thunderstorm and lightning

Night calls into being decline!

And up in the skies: The Crone in the midst of silence

Armagideon has now begun!

And out of his dreams Messiah pleas:

«_Goddess_, have mercy upon me!!!»

«Misguided prophet see _My_Scythe_

Descending over you!!!»

Down in the valley neath the river of time

Sits _The_Crone_ remembering human kind

Now winter’s gone and springtime has come

And all the ashes are washed away

And he raised his voice…
