Adagio - Underworld lyrics



Tracks



01. Next Profundis

Music by Stéphan Forté/Kevin Codfert
Lyrics by Stéphan Forte
Crossing the borders of an enchanted dream
Silver dust falling on my hands
Empty spaces of a new horizon
Frontiers to another land

See the stars come closer,
Enlightening your desire
Follow the wisdom of the light

I'm not afraid, take my hand
Show me what's behind the end
Oceans of pureness might stand

Is there any reason to fall,
Cross oblivion, meets the afterworld
Mesmerizing sights of unknown angels,
Takes me away to the next profundis

As abstarct as it can be
I see myself lying in the underworld,
Nothing seems real over me,
But still I know my shadow's watching me

Kingdom of sleep, deepness of earth
I will let time decide for me
The promised land I will find,
When Cronos will steal my mind

Is there any reason to fall,
Cross oblivion, meets the afterworld
Mesmerizing sights of unknown angels,
Takes me away to the next profundis

02. Introitus / Solvet Saeclum In Favilla

Music & lyrics by Stéphan Forte
Ashes surrounding me
Nothing else, but darkness, blood and pain
My determination will prevent you to outlast

After so many years of disgrace
I feel my hatred becoming mightier
Corrupt your soul, I will
Never ending my pervert plague to flow

Spread your wings and follow me higher
Leave the dark beyond, repent you Sinner

Leave our souls in peace
and pray for us to die bravely, O lord I've sinned
Salvation, wisdom and Forgiveness,
I dedicate my death to implore your pardon,
I can't find my way, tracked down by my fate.

Reign over the world I will
The mandrakes of death I will seed
I'll kill and probably I bleed,
Spreading impureness on your fields

Spread your wings and follow me higher
Leave the dark beyond, repent you Sinner

Leave our souls in peace
and pray for us to die bravely, O lord I've sinned
Salvation, wisdom and Forgiveness,
I dedicate my death to implore your pardon,
I can't find my way, tracked down by my fate.

03. Chosen

Music & lyrics by Stéphan Forte
I'm lost in nowhere, I cannot see
What's inside of me
Some changes appear I can feel,
I'm getting alive

My eyes are wide,
Opened to this brand new world,
I'm not supposed to bleed

Only my eyes can see your world, like it is,
Blinded by innocence, see the moon fading out to black
Leave out your mind
And if I am the chosen one, I will try
And making you understand, the silence can sometimes be your friend
Whisper your fears

Winter's breath leaves a cold leaf on my face
My believing thoughts,
Decrease in shapes of ghostly sadness
I've failed out of weakness

My eyes are wide,
Opened to this brand new world,
I'm not supposed to bleed

Only my eyes can see your world, like it is,
Blinded by innocence, see the moon fading out to black
Leave out your mind
And if I am the chosen one, I will try
And make you understand, the silence can sometimes be your friend
Whisper your fears

04. From My Sleep... To Someone Else

Music & lyrics by Stéphan Forte
Sometimes Morpheus's waiting,
For my dreams to make me realize,
How alone I can feel, in my suffers,
How fragile I am.

Who's controlling myself,
My tears are falling,
I'll never be the same,
Open my window to real world,
And let me go...

And by the dawn I'll know,
If I'll rest in my sorrow.
To breathe to kiss, I'll need
To live my life forever.
I am you are me,
I am my own enemy,
I'm frightened by my will,
Can't you hear my appeal ?

Today's a new season,
Do I have lost, all of my reason?
The blackened sky's awaits
The judgement of my lifeless fate.

My eyes slowly opening,
And I just feel like nothing has changed,
I 'll have to accept truth,
I am condemned to cry

And by the dawn I know,
I will rest in my sorrow,
To burn, to shout, I will
Not live this life forever,
I am you are me
I am my own enemy,
But for no long I'm sure,
By myself I will cure.

05. Underworld

Music & lyrics by Stéphan Forte
Like the serpent crawling in filth
Murdering yourselves, feeded by spit
A darkened candle you have lit

Why all these sad smiles look so fake ?
Preaching the evil, providing death
Oh my sons, are you awake

How come your world is ruled by hate,
Unholy children in madness state
Chained to the suffering, guardians of Nihil
Blessed are the souls from Underworld

Facing the gates of my world,
Only the pure, the stainless eye
May enter or may die,
Paying the price for the blind

I feel like I've been abused,
A fool god, treated by slavery
The creator, bewitched by his ones
The servant of his child

Show me how,
You will find,
The final peace for your mind
As I watched you from above,
I'll let you rest in Underworld

Nature is dark, coldness is blowing
Shadows of ancient secrets surrounding,
Tears of the fallen angels whispering,
This minute is the last,

And as I dive into dead water,
I can hear the voice of a thousand sinners,
Trying to reach the distant border
Finally leaving their faith far behind

06. Promises

Music & lyrics by Stéphan Forte
I've been waiting so long,
To see the moon rising by your side,
How many days, since you're gone

I've cried so many times,
But I've spent so many hours to hide,
The tears I had in my mind

When will I see you again,
Give me a last chance to make
Love, with you forever and ever again,
I miss you,

I can't feel pain anymore,
I'm just lost in a world of sorrow,
But I will wait the hour
To set your heart on fire

Mountains of ice i will cross
Fountains of gold I will find,
To give you some presents,
As precious as you

In endlessly I will shout,
Your name in the silence of night,
To exorcise my thoughts, as a prayer

When will I see you again,
Give me a last chance to make
Love, with you forever and ever again,
I love you,

I can't feel pain anymore,
I'm just lost in a world of sorrow,
But I will wait the hour
To set your heart on fire

07. The Mirror Stage

Music by Audrey Bedos
Lyrics by Stéphan Forte
What is that shape in front of me
Spying through the looking glass ?
This figure is haunting me,
Aping my every gestures,
Stealing my soul, my self,
The presence of menace is lurking
Behind the translucent surface

I can't face that figure
Who looks like me, like a twin.
Who is in the mirror,
The similarity,
It can't be me!

I can't acknowledge that individual;
That reflection in the mirror is not my Own:
The beholder may perceive the evil spark
In the clearness of the eye,
Mirroring the darkness of the heart,
The horror!
And yet who can it possibly be?

I can't face that figure
Who looks like me, like a twin.
Who is in the mirror,
The similarity,
I doubt it can be...

08. Niflheim

Music by Audrey Bedos
[Instrumental]

09. Missa Aeterna

Music & lyrics by Stéphan Forte
The days of rage are coming
I've devoted my life to mother war
I will fight until my last breath

Frozen landscape, screaming fury
Tragedy of human infamy
Poisonous heart, lethal injury

Before I'll rest in Elysium
I will make one last wish, my tender one
I will suffer, not surrender, pray and hope

Honour my last prayer, our Father
Witness my sorrow and deliver us from evil
Unify our hands forever and deliver us from pain
Unify our hands forever

Memories of joy now are far
I am sailing the ships of penitence
I feel the fire on my knees
I crush the ground and now I see
Scenes of my life, finally free

Honour my last prayer, our Father
Witness my sorrow and deliver us from evil
Unify our hands forever and deliver us from pain
Unify our hands forever

Honour my last prayer, our Father
Witness my sorrow and deliver us from evil
Unify our hands forever and deliver us from pain
Unify our hands forever
