Selene (English Version)

Protected
Invisible limit
Impenetrable dome
Always Evas
Always Mother
Unspeakable Wrath

Their defense shields them
Deep questioning
Are you defending yourself from the world
Or is the world protecting itself
Knowing
Of you?

(Intro) Shields

While seeing everything
Almost nothing afflicted me
Now in the darkness
I perceive the deformation

Arrows pierce
My chest in cadence
Voices drift away
Burying innocence

I find the light
Of my essence
Terror guides
The road to dementia

Enclosed within
Reminiscences of a past
Obsessed by self
I find myself undone

I knew I was unique
An adored child
The tears burn
I deserve to be punished

I find the light
Of my essence
Terror guides
The road to dementia

Flawed man
Forgotten
Mortal youth
Aged

Lament
(don't hear me)
Torment
(don't hear me)
Feeling
(mother hear me)
Oblivion
(where is my peace?)

I find the light
Of my essence
Terror guides
The road to dementia

Shadowed

Cells multiply
They aggregate
Form a being
That in a moment
Ignites
Fills with life
Thus it begins
Thus it starts
The end

Don't forgive me
I couldn't live for you
I didn't want it this way
I couldn't
Live for you

You will grow
You will develop
You'll be a child, a father
You will strive
Through every struggle
You'll find reasons
You'll find excuses
To carry on
Like this

Don't forgive me
I couldn't live for you
I didn't want it this way
I couldn't
Live for you

However much you wish
It won't be possible to contain
Impossible to impede
It will happen
You will suffer
It will reflect in me
I am part of your being
And the tears will pour
From me

Don't forgive me
I couldn't live for you
I didn't want it this way
I couldn't
Live for you

Don't forgive me
I couldn't live for you
I didn't want it this way
I couldn't
Live for you

Life passes
Until one day your moment
Will arrive
No farewell
There is no escape
Don't judge me
I couldn't live for you
Don't blame me
If one day
The earth will
Receive you
Ingest you

Descension

When sin illustrates your life
It breaks asylum for consequences
Sweat burns, salt cleanses the wound
Repentance does not fill absences

I shall witness the cessation
Enjoy expected solitude
The embryo will halt legacy
Stemming Adam's progeny

When the end reaches me
Eagerly I discern
Despair will target me
By the notion of being the last

Order alters frequency
Disguised voice misanthropy
Blessed, I shall embody dementia
Obeying, penance befell me.

I shall witness the cessation
Enjoy expected solitude
The embryo will halt legacy
Stemming Adam's progeny

When the end reaches me
Eagerly I discern
Despair will target me
By the notion of being the last

I embrace the consecrated fate
Let Thy will be done
I only cry out with one displeasure
Permit me death, entity

Penance

Among the Evas
A solemn prince I stand
A noble, ever-present hand
Behold, My very name is fear

Hidden, I'm protected
In shadows I have fed
Beneath the tower, brightly lit
Upon my silvered bed
I'll face the Mother, I will show
I'll prove that she is wrong, I know

Do not see me
Do not stop me
Allow me to show
Allow me to appear
Suppose I am deserving
Permit this growth to clear

Beneath the tower
A kind yet cruel confine
My tears salute a haze, a future line
A future fate that's mine

Hidden, I'm protected
In shadows I have fed
Beneath the tower, brightly lit
Upon my silvered bed
I'll face the Mother, I will show
I'll prove that she is wrong, I know

Do not see me
Do not stop me
Allow me to show
Allow me to appear
Suppose I am deserving
Permit this growth to clear

While seeking freedom's call, its truth
I will face reality, a bitter youth
To find myself in truth's embrace, you see
I'll learn what longing is, for what could never be

Fobos

Illusion to believe
You never could forget me
You did as you pleased
Swallow what I shall offer

You'll know who I am
Manticore
You finally found me
I'll reduce your existence
To a single particle

To deceive is to perceive
To offer myself as bait
It strikes the spark
It ignites your flame

You'll know who I am
Manticore
You finally found me
I'll reduce your existence
To a single particle

Manticore
Vengeance
Obscene oh!
Your lips cause
Nausea, ah!
Maintain
Only 
distance now

Your seed I shall keep
I'll scatter it to the whole world
Your origin, your heritage
I shall never honor

You'll know who I am
Manticore
You finally found me
I'll reduce your existence
To a single particle

Manticore

big sean - i don't fuck with you (instrumental)(super slowed + reverb) (no intro/outro)

I feel like a grain,
fingers without a hand.
A bridge to nothing,
a leaf without a branch.
A hanging seed...
sweat and exploitation...

Who knows if the blood
will make me germinate?
Who knows if the hunger
will make me rise and stand?

Golden vision!
Paralyzed!
Life in life,
grain by grain!
I catch the torn scraps,
I thresh the ears,
I pause in the air...
dreams of lives!

Don't you be ready
when the reaping starts the game.
A dark profession,
a roar, a tumult...
On the other side
there'll be no one left to tame.

Who knows if the blood
will make me germinate?
Who knows if the hunger
will make me rise and stand?

Golden vision!
Paralyzed!
Life in life,
grain by grain!
I catch the torn scraps,
I thresh the ears,
I pause in the air...
dreams of lives!

seeds that were planted...
souls that were harvested.
seeds planted...
souls harvested.

KIRN

Stone upon stone laid,
The climbing of my devotion made.
Promise upon the ruin sown,
moves the earth in its deep pulsation known.

Sap flows now,
sacred monsoon's vow.
Light transforms all,
sprouts and blossoms tall,
seed of light enthrall.

family... cycle...
start... return...
peace... certainty...
faith... and ground learn...
humanity...
goddess...
communion burn...

grain upon grain shown,
Water... pathway... vastness known...
nothing is lost, only donation,
sweat and blood... life... communion...

family... cycle...
start... return...
peace... certainty...
faith... and ground learn...
humanity...
goddess...
communion burn...

FLOW

Stone before stone...
Paralyzed, I see the rot and groan.
Ruin built on a promise's bone...
I need to feel your pulse again, your drone.


My own lifeblood...
(repressed in this peace)
A sacred flower's bud...
(a pain that won't release)

Family: addiction.
Enemy: return.
Struggle: affliction.
Like a dog, I learn.
Tenacity,
a muse for me,
depravity!

Hand over hand is laid...
Sin, rhythm, a tense charade.
Everything is felt, a slow degrade.
I need to feel your pulse again, unmade.

Transform and break me...
(sprout now and bloom)
This seed of light will take me...
(a pain that finds no room)

Family: addiction.
Enemy: return.
Struggle: affliction.
Like a dog, I learn.
Tenacity,
a muse for me,
depravity!

Saliva and semen...
loss...
seduction...

Family: addiction.
Enemy: return.
Struggle: affliction.
Like a dog, I learn.
Tenacity,
a muse for me,
depravity!

PURE

Why are you here right now?
Where have you been, my son?
You know I suffer in your absence,
you know I feel this loss still weighing a ton.
And here you are,
just to remind me
of all the chaos and the numbness...

And those yellow eyes of yours,
cleft open just like my soul...
Get out of here and come back now
as that sweet and gentle boy I know!
The memory that I want to weave,
the memory I want to make myself forget...
forget...
FORGET!

It isn't right to touch you!
Your wound's a memory of something
that the sweetness that this peace
could finally bring me...
bring me...
bring me!

And here you are,
to now confront me.
With this promise I might see you again,
my fingers wander on your memory, exposed to see.
You know this isn't how you're meant to be...
You know I wouldn't trade away my faith for thee!

I could just try this little sin...
I could just try this little sin...

It isn't right to touch you!
Your wound's a memory of something
that the sweetness that this peace,
the memory I want to forget...
FORGET...
FORGET!

STAY

No, don't run away,
the snake's hug wraps around you now, you'll stay.
No, don't even run,
I bring you fire, blood, and all disgrace is done.

No, don't you react!
Don't try to stop us, that's a fact!
No, don't put up a fight!
The reptile god is our own source of light!

I was away for just a couple days,
healing my whole mind from your silver tongue's haze.
Your smooth talk left me in a daze,
now feel the bitter sting of my own fang's sharp graze.

No, don't you react!
Don't try to stop us, that's a fact!
No, don't put up a fight!
The reptile god is our own source of light!

Now I face these weak eyes, woman, so undone,
without a single impulse to react, not one.
I expected so much more from you, my Prophetess grand,
why are you looking at me dazed? Don't you understand?

No, don't you even cry!
Everything in its own time, you'll know just why!
No, don't you dare die!
You will clean up all this grime!

MISS

All that I can do
is watch you suffer through.
If I could, I would take this pain for me...

Doo-doo-doo...
This pain for me.
Doo-doo-doo...

For days you scream in agony
and nothing breaks through, not even
this expectation that corrupts the scene...

Doo-doo-doo...
Expectation that corrupts.
Doo-doo-doo...

I've been through this before, I know,
this pain that afflicts you is bound to go.
But I feel that something's different here...
Your contagious pain is felt by all, my dear,
only one remains indifferent, I fear:
the source of all my horror, standing near.

Then, finally,
from your womb, it breaks free,
what should have been a gift for me.
It shows itself so cruelly:
viscous, concupiscent, you see,
monstrous, repellent, horribly,
agonizing, depressing!

Doo-doo-doo...

With your final, dying scream,
I say goodbye to my own hope, my dream.
I surrender to the gleaming chance
to be taken in accordance,
to eternal irrelevance.

Doo-doo-doo...

PITCH

With all of your stubbornness,
this hollow sense of stability...
With all of this hypocrisy,
now swallow down my treachery.
You ignoble goddess,
you feeble goddess,
from your foundations, the great serpent
will build its den, its brand new testament.

I wash away all of this filth!
I wash away my entire house!
I take away this memory's stealth!
I take away this legacy's vows!

Don't you ignore me,
don't even try.
Feel the wind, feel the clouds roll by,
coming now just like the sea...
Where stones are grains of sand for me,
where every breath is thunder's decree,
where I smooth the rough with care, you see,
where I eliminate the ground beneath thee.

I wash away all of this filth!
I wash away my entire house!
I take away this memory's stealth!
I take away this legacy's vows!

Antagonize me!
Polarize me!
If you are South, then I'll be North!
I will be death!
I seal your worth!

Ascendance! Descendance!
The dawn! The dusk's last glance!
This is how I now reveal,
you feeble goddess...
This is how I make you kneel!

Amphibian...
...I am Reptilian.

GROW

From up above, it's all so subtle now...
It doesn't seem so grave,
It doesn't seem so vile.
With yellow iris eyes,
I register the end
Of all complacency,
Of patience wearing thin.

All for the single seed I went to sow,
And for the smooth stone that I left below,
Placed strategically within the hand
Of such a child...
So pure, you know,
With so much promise left to grow...

And laughter floods my soul...
She thinks the evil takes its toll
From deep within her,
That she's been scarred...

Without a clue
That her own fate, you see,
Was carefully designed by me
Before she was even born to be.

She seeks for peace in self-imposed exile,
Ignoring that the grand design,
That sacred axiom of the divine,
The thing they call her destiny,

Was plowed upon a fallow field,
Was carved into a stone, concealed,
Until the skull itself was cracked,
Until my hidden gene was sealed.

And laughter floods my soul...
She thinks the evil takes its toll
From deep within her,
That she's been scarred...

Without a clue
That her own fate, you see,
Was carefully designed by me
Before she was even born to be.

Upon her pale skin, a new light glows,
The scales of the conductor start to show.
An unstoppable escape from light,
In essence, he who guides them through the night.

Don't blame yourself like this, my child...
Although all hope has been defiled.
You were created in the likeness of,
You're sowing now... 
your destined heritage from above.

SKIN

(Movement 1: The Desolation)

There is no redemption.
There's no transfiguration.
There is no evolution...
Just Transformation.

Vision divine,
vision of the earthline.
Vision of blood spilled,
a fictional vision fulfilled.

Bones made of stone...
lights made of glass...
a truth that's hard-worn...
a living lie to pass...

(Movement 2: The Echoing Memories)

The pain... where does it come from?
(I feel the pulse inside my chest)
Is your house now empty, numb?
(This presence puts me to the test)

I sowed a pre-destined inheritance,
from our sacred leaders, a new creed...
Remember: who you are, what you went through since,
even if it's an incomprehensible deed,
even if it's magic...

I was just a part...
I was just a part...

(Movement 3: The Collision)

Promise over ruin!
Ruin over promise!

Why am I here right now?!
Here I am now,
confronting my own brow!
With no impulse to react, no vow!

(Movement 4: The Resignation)

I say goodbye to hope's last gleam...
I say goodbye to hope's last gleam...

I see all of this memory's stream!
I see all of this heritage's scheme!

and nothing more...
...and nothing more.
