The faces of immortal gods

Eternity, bilnd truth, - halt!

From the mortal realm1 covered in filth

I'm running away.

Praying for life, raising (hands 2) to your native shrine,

You're looking nowhere, to the veil of your dreams.

And in this oblivion of your soul, in turmoil of your grey life,

Let the faces of immortal gods rise in your memory.

Where's the nature of this world?

In the mortal realm, that is foreign to me, I forgot my soul.

Eternity, bilnd truth, - halt!

From the mortal realm covered in filth

I'm running away.

In the madness of night you'll see an old maid3

Beakoning you to the destined path,

But you'll startle and break out from this captivity once more,

And your memory will bring up the ferful truth

Of how you, creeping as a serpent, touching unseen roots,

Fell into existential emptyness of the unknown void.

And here you are alone, in the vast eternal shrine,

And you'll recall, that people have betrayed you.

Where's the nature of this world?

In the mortal realm, that is foreign to me, I forgot my soul.

Eternity, bilnd truth, - halt!

From the mortal realm covered in filth

I'm running away.

In this cold life you lust for the fire,

That's dying right now.

And once more the darkness will envelop you -

A fear of oblivion,

And on the fork of those roads

Charms will envelop you in the dream.

You'll see the quiet hall of the netherrealm4.

You're now in the arms of Mara5

Eternity, bilnd truth, - halt!

From the mortal realm covered in filth I'm running away.

I'm going away.
