No Isle of bliss here Where Dreams have made their home Shapeless, unseen, on the meadows grey 'Tween Sleep and Death I walk Lost in the haze, lost among the souls Where Dreams have made their home I try to find my hope Elysium denied No grave to cradle my remains I wait, I am my judge A feeble statue rotting Crumbling with age A grieving figure, only I can see Too many rivers crossed Too many squandered coins So many oceans sailed But none has given me rest Oh so many bridges burnt So many nights wasted So much poison sipped Left only an empty vessel To drift with the flow Carried away into the mist Astray forevermore No Isle of Bliss ahead, just flames and cries Down with the seed of Night I lay With Pity, Old Age and Dreams I slept Unable to forget, left only to regret A mere impression of myself in Ereb's hands

Countless beatings of the clock Like whips biting cold through the years And the rattling of teeth and bones Ticking empty minutes, like millet grains While age is drying my flesh Like salty meat on your tongue This sad day of birth, the day that father came, Whitemare strode to her reign Patiently and tenderly Gnawing by bones, spitting regret Washing it with a bitter wine And I try to swallow my dignity And I grow old with every second I am in command, I will prove the prophecy untrue First ruler of my thoughts Father and child killer Devourer of hopes and future Through centuries of doubts In Tartarus bathed I learn to hate my past Murderous blood breeds murderous kin Child slayer, father killer

Je m’étais assis sur la cime antique Et la vierge neige, en face des Dieux ; Je voyais monter dans l’air pacifique La procession des morts glorieux. La terre exhalait le divin cantique Que n’écoute plus le siècle oublieux, Et la chaîne d’or du Zeus homérique D’anneaux en anneaux l’unissait aux cieux. Mais, ô passions, noirs oiseaux de proie, Vous avez troublé mon rêve et ma joie : Je tombe du ciel, et n’en puis mourir ! Vos ongles sanglants ont dans mes chairs vives Enfoncé l’angoisse avec le désir, Et vous m’avez dit : — Il faut que tu vives ! —

Drifting away, further and further still Stars veiled cannot guide me And I weather the storm As my craft breaks upon the wave This dying thirst I wish to quench In your ice-cold lap I need no map on this voyage As I travel farther down into Neptune's nets Oh how I wish to join the choir from the sea The sands below, a softer bed To rest at last, to drown my demons The journey is endless, the wave relentless My limbs are numb and I embrace Neptune's daughters My last voyage, an odyssey of loneliness Where is my crew? where are my dreams?

Mother of grief, father of solitude Mother of grief, father of misery Pain of solitude The doleful threads give new meaning And speak the pain of solitude Facing the waves you wait, wasting away Carried by the White Mares’ procession Listening to the sound of dust Like deafening prayers you try to hold on to Mother of grief awake, bearing new life As the needle tirelessly pierce the canvas With every night a story’s born anew And swept away with each passing dawn Day after day, the picture fades And you grow old, restless and cold Your sorrow’s gone, adrift on another sea Like a dream you had Sleepwalking in the summer night Watching it sail to dreadel isles Memories like sand on a endless shore Caressed by the soothing hands of the waves Fall back to oblivion Mother of old, lost to this world A ghost stuck in musty tapestries With every night a story’s born anew And swept away with each passing dawn Day after day, the picture fades And you grow old, restless and cold An Isle of Bliss for you, inside your head A soothing dream to make your bed Inside your head
