A Slow Vertigo - Akphaezya

Act I: Spring

(Place: The plain)

Scene I: A slow vertigo…

(Characters: Nimim / Sor-Dna)

(Nimim:) Akphaezya

Your air rotten by blood

With the flavor Of our love

Is a nauseating blend!

(Sor:) See only a peaceful dove, (my dear,)

My heart beats the deepest mixing of blood…

And love…

(Nimim:) All I can hear is the shame that shall

Mean your name if you would ask for my hand

This must end!

(Sor:) No shame but pride without the need to hide

(Nimim:) No need to hide with no one on our side?

(Sor:) They only need someone to believe in.

(Nimim:) Khym was the guide!

(Sor:) Become my bride, I love you Nimim

(Nimim:) Could this twilight bring its taste of death

To the deep night I’ve so often embraced.

(Sor:) Could a new dawn touch this dead lands

And hold our hope drown under a burning sand!

(Both:) A slow vertigo, just the echo of tomorrow…

(Nimim:) I fall from your arms

I fall even though you hold me…

… The strongest you can

I fell without you… I fall!

Swear that won’t happen!

(Sor:) Across my heart, the hope to dive

To save you from the void is…

An honor Π1 strive to avoid!

(Nimim:) The empty world of easy words

Is nothing but a crown that punishes the wise…

And where fools arise!

(Nimim:) Our passion will lead to apocalypse!

(Sor:) That’s not what says your skin under my lips…

(Nimim:) But what could follow should wait…

The Nuptiae!

(Sor:) So, you’ve replied?

(Nimim:) I’ll be your bride, I love you Sor-dna

Could this twilight bring its taste of death

To the deep night I’ve so often embraced…

(Sor:) Could a new dawn touch this dead lands

And hold our hope drown under a burning sand!

(Both:)A slow vertigo, just the echo of tomorrow…

(Both:) A slow vertigo, just the echo of tomorrow…

If we fall, it will be from the highest!

The sun sets over the wound

Healed by the duet with the moon

(Sor:) Follow me in this astral dance…

(Nimim:) But remember that this ballet means:

Temperance!
