Arcturus: στα αστέρια χωρίς επιστροφή

Third night in flight
My body says no but my mind says go
Moonshine delirium
what is that lurking behind the curtain
There at an instant then gone with a flash
Defeating all resistance something there I can not grasp
There is no tomorrow
gone beyond sorrow under a sheltering mask
Hail to you thousand faced all trapped in the haze
Dandies bandits tramps and champs
Beloved freaks and cheeky sneaks
Homeless heroes without dineros
Vampire-fools and exotic ghouls
Mongoshitfacedtabletwisters salut!
And open chure

Από το Sideshow Symphonies (2005)



We-
organic images, dissolving earth
Our future children
sure at us unfixed
from a residence of stars
in their sidereal ships
ho sailing beyond within
Their eyes, black in kingdoms of gold
like the rocks of this desert
where we wander in circles
tails up the ass of time
And our vision goes backwards
the traces we see after something
of even existing beyond the prints
All dreams end here where our cries began
resounding to museums
of a world we believed
neverending
And we stop
exhausted
beginning
not again
And the panic
like the light
of some star
exploding
Flashing in black holes of not knowing
if we ever made a away out of this mud

Από το The Sham Mirrors (2002)



I have everywhere sought,
and nowhere found
So I lift the bleedin' bodkin
And trust the grief deepest in

The gleaming bodies of the infinite skies
Have for my spirit
The cold charm
Of death's welcoming eyes
In secret to my soul
They are ideals of old

Από το αξεπέραστο La Masquerade Infernale (1997)


Και λίγη προιστορία μόνο για τους λάτρεις του είδους...


These constellations
gleaming at us from afar
They give rise to frigid memories
in my mind
My stellar memetoes are the brightest
signs that twinkle away
Infinity, the faustian spirit,
disheartened, by all
I will never get up there alone
but still I will always perceive
their company
I honor the farthest fall
His fall, I, I...
In my thirst for knowledge
a new kind of thought arose.
Enriched me.
Their weight will always burden me.
As I then fell into reverie.
My (struggling) heart felt it's end,
I lifted the bodkin.
I fall
the final recourse
and the fall, it made me tired, meltdown
I fly
All remembered
They are the reminders of all
All to us unknown, unknown
