Rhapsody Of Fire - From Chaos To Eternity lyrics



Tracks



01. Ad Infinitum

The holy words of Erian
Were filled with the power of the angels
Their meaning clear as the glittering stream
They spoke of the last of the primordial wars
And of the moment when Thanor, the black dragon
Turned against Nekron...
And he revealed to the angels the place where he was hiding

When the unholy son of Kron discovered this
His rage cracked the Earth

02. From Chaos To Eternity

From chaos to eternity

Dead space all around
Grey shades, not one sound
Dark thoughts, half-alive
Chaos born, life denied

I'll live!
(Make me live)
I'll feel!
(Let me feel)

I'll be!
(Make me be)
Set me free

I need him, I see him
A new emotion fills me
(Save my soul)

Inside me, beyond me
Expanding to his cosmic will
(Save my world)

CHORUS:
AN ANGEL SPOKE
HIS SOUL WILL SOAR FROM RUINS OF HATE
SILENT PAIN, ENDLESS WAR
LED FROM CHAOS TO ETERNITY

MORTAL DESTINY
HIS BLEEDING RHYME OF DIVINE TRAGEDY
A NEW TRACE OF HOPE IS CARVED IN HIM
THE SECRET OF MY UNIVERSE, MY SIN

From chaos to eternity

Darkened entity
Chasing loneliness
Nowhere I can hide
One choice: truth or lie?

I'll live!
(Make me live)
I'll feel!
(Let me feel)

I'll be!
(Make me be)
Set me free

I need him, I see him
A new emotion fills me
(Save my soul)

Inside me, beyond me
Expanding to his cosmic will
(Save my world)

CHORUS:
AN ANGEL SPOKE
HIS SOUL WILL SOAR FROM RUINS OF HATE
SILENT PAIN, ENDLESS WAR
LED FROM CHAOS TO ETERNITY

MORTAL DESTINY
HIS BLEEDING RHYME OF DIVINE TRAGEDY
A NEW TRACE OF HOPE IS CARVED IN HIM
THE SECRET OF MY UNIVERSE

Solo.

CHORUS:
AN ANGEL SPOKE
HIS SOUL WILL SOAR FROM RUINS OF HATE
SILENT PAIN, ENDLESS WAR
LED FROM CHAOS TO ETERNITY

MORTAL DESTINY
HIS BLEEDING RHYME OF DIVINE TRAGEDY
A NEW TRACE OF HOPE IS CARVED IN HIM
THE SECRET OF MY UNIVERSE, MY SIN

From chaos to eternity
Set me, set me free!

03. Tempesta Di Fuoco

Vuoto e tradito da un cupo passato
Declina ora in me l'inerzia del fato
Colgo un presente ormai rarefatto
Vibrare in un se' di rosso scarlatto

Il di lei mal sospiro
Vela il senso nell' oblio

Scorgo un futuro di mille domande
Tra un si ed un no il tempo s'infrange
Ma tra quesiti, pensiere e parole
Effimero in me il quando il come

Il di lei mal sospiro
Fonde il fato nel divino

CHORUS:
ARDE IN ME L'INTENSITA'
DI FOLLIA E VERITA'
LA TEMPESTA INFIAMMERA'
NEL SUO FUOCO FILTRERA'

OCEANI DI VACUITA'
E DI SILENTE PIANTO
TRA FUOCO E LACRIME

Solo.

Vuoto e tradito da un cupo passato
Declina ora in me l'inerzia del fato
Colgo un presente ormai rarefatto
Vibrare in un se' di rosso scarlatto

Frammento di stelle, vibrante entita'
Tra il tutto ed il niente perduta sara'

CHORUS:
ARDE IN ME L'INTENSITA'
DI FOLLIA E VERITA'
LA TEMPESTA INFIAMMERA'
NEL SUO FUOCO FILTRERA'

ARDE IN ME L'INTENSITA'
DI FOLLIA E VERITA'
LA TEMPESTA INFIAMMERA'
NEL SUO FUOCO FILTRERA'

OCEANI DI VACUITA'
E DI SILENTE PIANTO
TRA FUOCO E LACRIME

04. Ghosts Of Forgotten Worlds

One last illusion
A powdered mirage
Hidden feelings
Swallowed by the red sand

Sudden vortex of tormented damned souls
Of blindness and buried honor
I recall the sacred starflames
The great fury of the tornado
Holy force

Water, fire
Wind and earth arise
Arise

A lonely trace of sorrow
One melancholic whisper
A cell of silent matter
Evolving to new forms of life

Ancient flesh and blood
Scream for vengeance
Beneath this unstable surface
The ground is shaking, the Earth is quaking
It's the dark fate they once asked for

It's nothing but sand after all
Holy force

Water, fire
Wind and earth arise

CHORUS:
STONE SOULS CAUGHT IN DESERT STORMS
(DESERT STORMS)
ONCE CHAINED GHOSTS OF FORGOTTEN WORLDS
(DUSTY WORLDS)
CHAOS BORN SAND LORDS

Solo.

Water, fire
Wind and earth arise

CHORUS:
STONE SOULS CAUGHT IN DESERT STORMS
(DESERT STORMS)
ONCE CHAINED GHOSTS OF FORGOTTEN WORLDS
(DUSTY WORLDS)

RISE SOULS CAUGHT IN DESERT STORMS
(DESERT STORMS)
ONCE CHAINED GHOSTS OF FORGOTTEN WORLDS
(DUSTY WORLDS)
CHAOS BORN SAND LORDS

Chaos born in desert storms
Once chained ghosts...

05. Anima Perduta

Rubata fu
La tua realta'
Al verso dell'autunno
Senza un perche'

Or mi fissi da li
Non te ne vuoi andar
In vuoto grigio spazio
Dimorerai

Spirito sei
E tremula voce
Ruga del tempo

CHORUS:
VAGHI TREMANTE
ESSENZA D'ANIMA TRADITA
TRA LUNA E STELLE
ANCOR PERDUTA

...

Dimmi se vuoi
Parla con me
Dentro il mio vivo sangue
Ti sento gia'

Al chinar del sol
Tra astio e rancor
Il varco puoi trovar
Nel rosato vespro

Spirito sei
E tremula voce
Ruga del tempo

CHORUS:
VAGHI TREMANTE
ESSENZA D'ANIMA TRADITA
TRA LUNA E STELLE
ANCOR PERDUTA

VAGHI TREMANTE
ESSENZA D'ANIMA TRADITA
TRA LUNA E STELLE
ANCOR PERDUTA

06. Aeons Of Raging Darkness

I won't forget that day
I won't forget her name
What has hell done to her
Her pain's flowing in my blackened soul's veins

Libera animas
Omnium defunctorum
De poenis inferni
Ne cadant / ne cadant in obscurum

Libera animas
De poenis inferni

Cold frozen night
(Bleeding sins and lies)
Nocturnal rhyme
(Of unholy pride)

Quake! (Crack!) Dare! (Clash!)
Storm the gates of hell!

May you be the one
The everlasting flame of hope
Glorify the angels
And fight their holy war
Let me face the beast
And every single devil's son
I will free my mind
And I will save her soul

Many don't realize
What it's capable of
What "evil" really is
Far beyond its meaning as a mere word

Requiem aeternam
Dona eis, Domine
Requiem aeternam
Lux perpetua / lux luceat eis

Requiem aeternam
Dona eis, Domine

Her lovely smile
(Brutalized and raped!)
Her crystal eyes
(She won't see anymore!)

Quake! (Crack!) Dare! (Clash!)
Storm the gates of hell!

May you be the one
The everlasting flame of hope
Glorify the angels
And fight their holy war
Let me face the beast
And every single devil's son
I will free my mind
And I will save her soul

Guitar Solo: Luca Turilli

May you be the one
The everlasting flame of hope
Glorify the angels
And fight their holy war
Let me face the beast
And every single devil's son
I will free my mind
And I will save her soul

Why you? why?
I will free you!

07. I Belong To The Stars

CHORUS:
ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER TIME
ANOTHER FLAME THAT BURNS DIVINE
ANOTHER WORD, ANOTHER THOUGHT
ANOTHER SIN, ANOTHER HOPE
ANOTHER REASON TO AWAKE AND LIVE THIS LIFE

Caught in silver clouds
Enlightened by a mystic full moon
You designed the horizon
And amaze my minute heart

Past, present, future
Trapped in this concept of time
I raise my mind's eye
To the infinite which lies

In a silent night spreading wild
Stellar might, dark Heaven
Fill my art, trance my way
Shining grace forever

CHORUS:
ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER TIME
ANOTHER FLAME THAT BURNS DIVINE
ANOTHER WORD, ANOTHER THOUGHT
ANOTHER SIN, ANOTHER HOPE
ANOTHER REASON TO AWAKE AND LIVE THIS LIFE

'CAUSE ONCE MORE I BELONG TO THE STARS
I BELONG TO THE STARS

Hiding forbidden truths
Keepers of knowledge hard to define
Keepers of velvet secrets
Veiling softly our cries

Jewels reflecting light
Evolving cores of galatic life
You who forged my essence
The wild breath of mortal mind

In a silent night spreading wild
Stellar might, dark Heaven
Fill my art, trance my way
Shining grace forever

CHORUS:
ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER TIME
ANOTHER FLAME THAT BURNS DIVINE
ANOTHER WORD, ANOTHER THOUGHT
ANOTHER SIN, ANOTHER HOPE
ANOTHER REASON TO AWAKE AND LIVE THIS LIFE

'CAUSE ONCE MORE I BELONG TO THE STARS

Solo.

CHORUS:
ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER TIME
ANOTHER FLAME THAT BURNS DIVINE
ANOTHER WORD, ANOTHER THOUGHT
ANOTHER SIN, ANOTHER HOPE
ANOTHER REASON TO AWAKE AND LIVE THIS LIFE

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER TIME
ANOTHER FLAME THAT BURNS DIVINE
ANOTHER WORD, ANOTHER THOUGHT
ANOTHER SIN, ANOTHER HOPE
ANOTHER REASON TO AWAKE AND LIVE THIS LIFE

'CAUSE ONCE MORE I BELONG TO THE STARS
I BELONG TO THE STARS
ONCE MORE I BELONG TO THE STARS

08. Tornado

In primordial times of war
Gods and men, dragonlords
Fighting for a dead world
A black sun will scare us all
Gloomy past carved in hate
Ready to be back

It's my time, my chance to show
Who you are, who we are
Shade of human terror
May I cause the unborn's fall
Through new gates he will come
For the end of all

From empty shadows
Electric silence
In veiled reflections
Of one lonely sunshine

In the air my whispered name
In the air...

Now condemned to be insane
Evil born, you will drown
Swallowed by oblivion
Once to darkness I belonged
Deep inside, you're the same
Godforsaken soul

In my heart the angels' fate
In your name fear and pain
Violence and bloodshed
May the thunder's holy force
Pound in me, burn my sin
Storm once more

From empty shadows
Electric silence
In veiled reflections
Of one lonely sunshine

In the air my whispered name

CHORUS:
BEYOND THE SECRETS OF SPACE COLLIDING
IN STELLAR FIRE I WILL BURN TO SAVE
MY WORLD'S UNWRITTEN FATE
FROM QUAKES AND VOLCANOS

BEYOND THE SECRETS OF SPACE COLLIDING
IN STELLAR FIRE I WILL RISE AGAIN
AS TEAR OF ANGELS' PAIN
AS CYCLONE, TORNADO AGAIN

Solo.

From empty shadows
Electric silence
In veiled reflections
Of one lonely sunshine

In the air my whispered name

CHORUS:
BEYOND THE SECRETS OF SPACE COLLIDING
IN STELLAR FIRE I WILL BURN TO SAVE
MY WORLD'S UNWRITTEN FATE
FROM QUAKES AND VOLCANOS

BEYOND THE SECRETS OF SPACE COLLIDING
IN STELLAR FIRE I WILL RISE AGAIN
AS TEAR OF ANGELS' PAIN
AS CYCLONE, TORNADO AGAIN

09. Heroes Of The Waterfalls' Kingdom

- PART I: LO SPIRITO DELLA FORESTA

King Uriel:
The horns of war were sounding
On icy winds the echoes of ancient fears will breathe again
Soon on the edge of the Northlands
The future of our world would be decided

Nel timido soffio del vento
Al nuovo sorriso del sol
Si scopre la valle dorata
Incanto d'anima e cor

Sentiero ce ormai ti nascondi
Rivela la via che fu
Tra quercia, castano ed abete
Al nostro passo silente

Odori sfumati nel senso
Colori ormai senza eta'
Tra resine ed erbe inebrianti
Tra ombra e verita'

Leggiadra visione di sogno
E di parallela realta'
Transcendi l'umana coscienza
Pacando il mio fiero ardore

CHORUS:
OR SPLENDE IN ME LA TUA LUCE
NEL SUO RIFLESSO PACE ED AMOR
IL VERDE INTIMO MANTO
E DELLA ROCCIA IL GRIGIO PUDOR
INCANTO E PURA ENERGIA
RICOLMA D'ANTICA SAGGEZZA

IO CANTO LA TUA MERAVIGLIA
DIVINA E MISTICA ESSENZA
INCANTO E VERA MAGIA
TRA NEVE, RUGIADA E TEMPESTA
NEL SOGNO, MITO E LEGGENDA
LO SPIRITO DELLA FORESTA

Ti amo o madre natura
O vita che data mi fu
Or splendi scintilla infinita
Tra il verde, il grigio ed il blu

Vi amo creature dei boschi
Pulsanti di vita e ancor piu'
Custodi d'astrali pensieri
Che a noi si celano arcani

CHORUS:
OR SPLENDE IN ME LA TUA LUCE
NEL SUO RIFLESSO PACE ED AMOR
IL VERDE INTIMO MANTO
E DELLA ROCCIA IL GRIGIO PUDOR
INCANTO E PURA ENERGIA
RICOLMA D'ANTICA SAGGEZZA

IO CANTO LA TUA MERAVIGLIA
DIVINA E MISTICA ESSENZA
INCANTO E VERA MAGIA
TRA NEVE, RUGIADA E TEMPESTA
NEL SOGNO, MITO E LEGGENDA
LO SPIRITO DELLA FORESTA

- PART II: REALM OF SACRED WATERFALLS

Warriors and dragons from the middle lands
Knights from the Western far rocky plains
Elves from the wide majestic green lakes
Bravehearts from the South and the icy North

The astral alignment will show all its might
Be ready to get the stars' holy sign
They'll show us all one true face of the sin
The century's last... last great eclipse

March from the corners of the Earth
(March for the Earth... all march)
For the fate of your world

In this day of doom and blazing rage
Of clashing titans, anger, hate
May the hells collapse again

Acqua ch'or scendi
Or ruvida or stanca
Nel quieto singhiozzo
Tu scavi la roccia

Or lava la mano
Di quel mezzo uomo
Che 'si trasparente
Ti ruba al suo pianto

CHORUS:
IN BETWEEN AMAZING LAKES
AND BREATHTAKING WATERFALLS
VALIANT HEROES FOUND THEIR FATE
RODE AND FACED THE BLACK STORM

IN THE FURY OF THE WIND
AT THE HARDEST CLASH OF STEEL
VALIANT HEROES RAISED THEIR SWORD
FOR THE SAKE OF THE WORLD

ERIAS, THARIN, ARDUN, MORLA

Mighty Earthquake, invincible thunder
Now unleash your utmost power
Lift the wings, the wings of our angels
In this new and horrific war

Send the North wind to freeze
Any fear in our hearts
Finally allied for an angel who spoke
Against the unborn

March from the corners of the Earth
(March for the Earth... all march)
For the fate of your world

In this day of doom and blazing rage
Of clashing titans, anger, hate
May the hells collapse again

Acqua ch'or scendi
Or ruvida or stanca
Nel quieto singhiozzo
Tu scavi la roccia

Or lava la mano
Di quel mezzo uomo
Che 'si trasparente
Ti ruba al suo pianto

CHORUS:
IN BETWEEN AMAZING LAKES
AND BREATHTAKING WATERFALLS
VALIANT HEROES FOUND THEIR FATE
RODE AND FACED THE BLACK STORM

IN THE FURY OF THE WIND
AT THE HARDEST CLASH OF STEEL
VALIANT HEROES RAISED THEIR SWORD
FOR THE SAKE OF THE WORLD

Solo.

- PART III: THANOR'S AWAKENING

King Uriel:
The news of victory spread like lightning across the land
This battle ended with the army of darkness in total defeat
Their unholy blood spread across the snow
And dried black in the glorious sun of the Northlands

Solo.

Iras:
The moment has come
We must hurry!

Etherus:
Take the eyes...

Dargor:
Alright
Aelin fits perfectly on the left
And Mornir on the other side

Iras:
The angels will speak

Dargor:
These vibrations...

Iras:
As I said it is the time of the angels
No... no my brothers! Look at the statue
Look and Thanor... look!

...

Iras:
The spirit of Thanor rose from the abyss
Where Nekron tortured his body and soul
After his betrayal in the last of the primordial wars
When the spirt reached the statue, the Earth quaked

- PART IV: NORTHERN SKIES ENFLAMED

Dargor:
Fly... fly mighty Thanor
For your revenge and our freedom!

A prophecy trapped between icy winds
The words of an angel now cleary revealed
The day of the last terrific eclipse

Spit of the abyss, dark slaves of the beast
Who creep in the shade of bleeding dark worlds
Face us if you dare, we challenge you all

Epic clash of immortals
Demons, angels and men
Fire raining from Heaven
Chaos storming from hell

A dragon condemned to abandon his world
Could open his eyes, awake and reborn
Led by the angels he could finally rise
Enflaming the air of the Northern skies

A battle too hard to be faced by a man
A fight for who owns the magic of Earth
A sacrifice needed to stop a new hell
A mystical weapon, the forbidden spell

Iras:
Gods of light, angels of the highest cosmic spheres
My friend Etherus, master wizard of the White Dragon's Order
Gave his life for the beloved lands
Thanks to him Koras, the mightiest of the seven demons, was defeated
Thanor returned victorious after destroying the six other winged demons
In the darkness of the eclipse
Guided by the divine light of angels he killed them all
One by one, foiling Nekron's dark plans
And for what would be the last time he entered the main hall
And magically returned to stone

Solo.

In between amazing lakes
And breathtaking waterfalls
Valiant heroes found their fate
Rode and faced the black storm

In the fury of the wind
At the hardest clash of steel
Valiant heroes raised their sword
For the sake of the world

CHORUS:
IN BETWEEN AMAZING LAKES
AND BREATHTAKING WATERFALLS
VALIANT HEROES FOUND THEIR FATE
RODE AND FACED THE BLACK STORM

IN THE FURY OF THE WIND
AT THE HARDEST CLASH OF STEEL
VALIANT HEROES RAISED THEIR SWORD
FOR THE SAKE OF THE WORLD

FOR THE SAKE OF THE WORLD

- PART V: THE SPLENDOUR OF ANGELS' GLORY
(A FINAL REVELATION)

Iras:
Thanor opened his eyes once again
Aelin and Mornir were brighter than ever
He stared at Dargor
Still not finished...

Dargor:
No, no...
Why me? Why?

Iras:
It is the decision of the gods and the angels

Dargor:
But I am half demon
There is evil blood pounding in my heart
You know it!

Iras:
That is the reason why
You have met darkness and light... and you chose
You are the most powerful of us all
The elected... the chosen one

...

Dargor:
So... so be it
I accept my fate

King Uriel:
Dargor's destiny was finally clear
His death was only physical
But from the rest of the shadowlord's body
A new form of life was born

Erian's angelic spirit now embraced Dargor's immortal soul
Combining the supreme energies of the cosmos
To become pure divinity
A god of cosmic light
Did breathe on the Earth... again
