Dying in a Moment of Splendour - Ancient Rites

Ich umarme die Finsternis

Seit dem Tag an dem meine Reise began

Always embraced the Dark

Since the day my journey began

With length of time

We gain a step in knowledge

With length of time

A step closer to Death

(However)

J’ai plus de souveniers que si j’avais mille ans

I have gathered as many memories

As if I have lived a thousand years

Only choice left

Is to die in a moment of splendour

Ultimate this experience shall be

Echoes of melancholy

Are haunting my dreams

Dying in a moment of splendour

Echoes of melancholy

Are haunting my dreams

Waiting this inevitable event

Of ultimate splendour

The time when Death shall arrive

As a welcome companion

Although immortality it is I always craved

But so tragic yet divine it must be

When ending in beauty

As there is nothing grander left

To reach out for

While a larger than life experience

Is achieved

Ich umarme die Finsternis

Seit dem Tag an dem meine Reise began

Always embraced the Dark

Since the day my journey began

With length of time

We gain a step in knowledge

With length of time

A step closer to Death

J’ai plus de souveniers que si j’avais mille ans
