Текст песни Ptah (Course Of Empire) с переводом

Spoken:

Today wild berries still cling to the vine

Though covered with dust and acetylene

Tonight a dark menace will complete its task

And the vine will lay naked and dead in the grass

In the morning I will approach though the sunlight is dim

And wonder what menace could complete such a crime

But in the twilight of my own evening years

I understand that the menace was mine

Only on original Carpe Diem release, spoken:

The veil of the universe is torn asunder

I see all things connected from where I stand

But are we the victims of the darkness of our souls

Or are these things decreed by Your hand?

As I watch my people fall in vain

I cannot accept wretched pre-destiny

Are you God or are you a god?

Reveal yourself! Explain these things to me

Only on original Carpe Diem release:

Ptah!

Ptah!

Ptah!

Ptah!

Spoken:

Before me stands a world of faces

I close my eyes

I see the death of single races

Imagined through the horror inside

I open my eyes, my children at my feet

Ash settles on my bloodied hand

Without intention, the wind can reap

The thoughts that destroy an entire man

Ptah!

Ptah!

Ptah!

Ptah!
