(I Mourn that the Night Passes Us by)
(Lyrics by Anders Jacobsson, August 1998, edited July 1999)
Lucifer:
Oh angel oâ my winter;
grieveth for the pain oâ sadness.
A gothic embrace restores my love
God took away...
Ye romance oâ forgotten times...
in eras without the sun.
An ocean oâ tears I see...
A nightfall oâ dreams caresses me.
Deliah:
Thou wert, thou art, thou shalt foreâer be...
Ye nightshade oâ thy sorrow,
stretching out for itâs romantic rose in twilights beauty.
In love with ye thousands oâ nights...
but weeping in silence... in ebony... for melancholy⌠forever!
Jesus Christ walks the EarthâŚ
A pitiful shade of GodâŚ
A cruel conspiracy for the sake of slavery,
and He drags âem down to the plague of humanity.
Lucifer:
Iâve killed my holinessâŚ
killed my emptiness!
Iâm fallen from GodâŚ
fallen from guilt!
Iâve abandoned the light,
the light that blinded so long!
Free from submission,
but still under His spell.
Weâre in pain⌠pain⌠pain!
Sorrow turns to anguishâŚ
and I scream with hate at the tyrant above!
Deliah:
Hosanna de Profundis!
Dethrone the tyrantâŚ
Take his throne, take the throne!
Astaroth:
Gothic moon⌠ablazeth the eventide so sonorous,
ye solemn of a lovelorn gardân oâ crimson souls.
All true beauty is sad...
but lost within the clenched hands of God.
Lucifer:
I mourn that the night passes us byâŚ
Let there be an eternal night⌠eternal night!
I mourn that the night passes us by!
Let there be an eternal night⌠eternal night!
..I shall call upon the dragon...!
