Emperor Of Hell

Towards the hell's monarch
The last round of the traitors
Between the shades of night
Frightening conclusion
I drew behind my guide
To shield me from the cold wind
There was no other way
Eyes of disillusion
The emperor of
the kingdom dollars
From his mid-breast forth
issued from the ice
The emperor of hell
Then I recognized
The great shape of Lucifer
Those souls beneath the ice
Across the land of silence
Down in the ninth circle
Behold the lord of darkness
The emperor of hell
He creates three winds
that continue
To freeze all the Cocytus
The emperor of he'll
Oh! Don't ask me how
Frozen and how faint
I then became
Facing the king of hell!
Petrified by fear I saw him
Who was the prince of angels
Now you are bearer of pain
A giant demon,
genius of suffering
That's your realm of sorrow
You paid the price,
you dared to rebel
I beheld three faces on his head!
Under each came forth
two mighty wings
to freeze the infernal lake
At six eyes he wept, his tears
down three chins distill'd
with bloody foam
In his three mouths
he chews the worst betrayer
Emperor of hell!
Emperor of hell!
"He lied up his brow against
his Maker, well may proceed
from him all tribulation!
"The teeth of each mouth
held a sinner, he held three
of them in eternal agony"
"It's time for them to go,
return to the fair world
Descend, ascend to reach
for the light"
We left evil behind, depart
from these lands of suffering
Thence we came forth
to rebehold the stars
The creature who had beauty
in his appearance
Who rebelled against God.
He fell from heaven
to the underworld
And so it was
We left the realm of torment
The put of mystery
The deepest desolation
We saw the stars again
Outride the world of terror
Towards the endless light
We left behind the darkness
From the infernal region
The angel who
was cast out of heaven
The emperor of hell
Antithesis of light
Creator's agony without a soul
The emperor of hell
The emperor of
the kingdom dolorous
Sovereign of the underworld
The emperor of hell

Ora sen va per un secreto calle,
Tra 'l muro della terra a li martiri
Lo mio maestro,
e io dopo le spalle.

The City Of Dis
07:19
|

|
Entering the city of fire:
Walls of flame
Outside of the gates
The heavenly messenger
Is coming down
Lowes hell
Land of epicureans
Inside the unsecured walls
That hem the region round
Down a secret path
Heretics, we went in
The sixth circle of hell
Tormented souls who have
Disbelieved in immortality
And now we go,
along a narrow way
We proceed between
the walls of flame
Into heresy, dead more
tan the other shades
Denying the soul's immortality
And as we walked,
through the city walls
A voice came from a fiery tomb!
Farinata:
"O tosco, who though
the city of fire
Alive art passing,
so discreet of speech:
Here, please thee, stay awhile!"
Sudden that sound forth
issued a vault
Whereat, in fear
I closed to my leader's side
He told me "Turn what
dost thou? That's Farinata,
he's exposed, behold him!"
Who were your ancestors?
Why this hatred against
my family?
I defended my noble land
I am serving my eternal
condemnation
Cavalcante:
Another shadow rose behind him
He said:
"If thou through
this blind prison go's
Led by thy lofty genius
and profound
Where's my son?
And why is he not with you"?
And I: "Not of myself
I come; by him
Through this clime conducted
Who perchance thy son
had in contempt"
"What did you ay? Had?
Doe he not still live?
Does the sweet light
not strike his eyes?"
Then he dropped again and
showed himself no more
Finale:
Prophetic words
See only distant thoughts
Suffering shades in hell
Battered and resigned
We left the walls
Deeper than mourning earth
Sign of bad omen
Comes to mind
We walk to the middle space
Out of the city of flaming graves
Encouraging words as we proceed
Awful stench came
from the deep abyss
Where the lowest hell begins
In the city of Dis
The city of Dis
Dis!

There is a place within the depths of hell
All of rock dark stain'd
With hue ferruginous
Right in the middle
Of the evil field
A deep well, exceeding wide
I saw new pains wherewith
The foremost bolgia was replete
Fustigators of hell, wrath!
Circle of the fraudulents
Wielders of the lash
Tormented souls by pain
Like fortresses to defend the walls
From their threshold to the brink without
Are flank'd with little bridges
Within the place we turned around
From the back of Geryon we found us
A new journey was just beginning
Between seducers and their mourn
Smothered in a filth and hideous stink from below
And the simoniacs from the evil world
Upside down in the fire
Blasphemous fraud
From bridge to bridge we walked on
Seers and fortune-tellers are punished here!
To the lower rungs of hell
We can see
Tearful lands
And insanity
Another way and other vain laments
The barrators are throwed in the boiling pitch
Visions of chaotic vehemence
Black demons into the fosses of the great deceit
Solitude and pain for those they lived on hypocrisy
Thieves!
Mutilated souls and metamorphosis
Schismatics and falsifiers
Diseases!
The ring of giants
Hell's final depth

Chiron

Scattered signs through the landscape
Ruins and keepers of hell
A monster guards down the seventh circle
It's the infamy of Crete
Blind cupidity and madness
Look at the river of blood
A great fosses as my guide had told
Armed centurions, as to the chase
They on the earth were won't
And so we descended by a rugged way
Screams of distress
Their eyes to the valley where
those souls are boiling in blood
A cry from far:
To what pain are you heading across this river?
Speak from whence ya stand, or else the bow I draw!
The answer was made to Chiron:
I ask to be led so that the river we can cross
Chiron to Nessus spade:
Return and be their guide!
And command other troops keep aloof
Onwards we moved
Along the seething flood
There where the souls of tyrants,
guilty of blood and rapine
They mourn aloud, their immense lunacy,
wail for their merciless wrongs
When I turned to the poet, he said:
"He'd be the first, I'm the next!
We went on, in that sea of blood
until our passage lay athwart the foss
We cross that valley of torment
Weeping of agony
At the edge of the infernal river
Where souls are immersed in the blood
Circle of desecration
It's too late to repent
Celestial acts of retaliation
Tears of despair, inhuman laments
The divine justice gives 'em the right suffering
Screams of insanity
And we went through the valley
where the souls are boiling in blood
Eternal pain, for all the bringers of desperation
There's no rest for who fill'd
the ways with violence and war
After fulfilling his task
The centaur turn'd alone repass'd the ford
Turn'd alone repass'd the ford
He went back to the other side
Where Chiron was waiting
...a forest, where no track
Of steps had worn a way

Sorrowful Goodbye
05:10
|

|
What you feel inside?
You have nothing to ask yourself
You've been living a lie
It's not a way to deceive your mind
And you try again
So you can go against your destiny
There's nor rest! What did you real?
Regret some things and you close your eyes
You remain in silicon, under the sky
You knew it was time to go
You still seem to hear a scream of your soul?
You don't want to look forward
You are looking back at the past
Into your eyes! Goodbye!
You not keep the pain inside
You hear a voice in your head
Believe in nothing, life and fate
Harvest of sorrow
With the eyes of illusion, see your past
You don0t need anything else!
You decided to go away!
You know you wasted your time
You've been living a lie
You have no choice, you have nothing left
And you cry again
You think about your failed task
What's the reason to still keep the mask?
Goodbye! Goodbye!

There were sinners
Faithless deceivers
Lonely dreams
Unreal mirrors
It can be seen
An imaginary world
When the angels fell down
Cruel rule!
Universal destiny
Sinks into the sea of despair
Where the evil was complete and clear
Cries of intoxicated souls
Desperate voices are ever so close
Holy messengers of fate
Victims of their own unrelenting faith
Unending melancholy
Sometimes there's more than meets the eyes
Even if we don't realize it
In the silence, we have to take our time
A voiceless pain
Falling out the other side
You're going to open eyes
A traveler who leaves all things behind
Nothing's by chance
Chance!
Dissolved souls
Out of reality
They did get wallowed into hell
Extreme mercy
A cry of agony
Nature takes its course
Endless season
Unworldly onder
Human abjection
Relentless judgment
Signs of destiny
Inviolable walls
Insane creations
Of an ideal world
Utopian existence
Images of transcendence
Eternal pain
Visions of unreality

Midway upon the journey of life
You know that a new night begins
Walking in the weeping darkness
You feel abandoned, you will find your true way
You get up with great hope
Turn to all things you have escaped
You realized you'd fallen, look
The planet's ray which leaders by every road
By every road
At the end of your despair, you wait for the silence
At the edge of existence, fading to the darkness
Hear the voices of despair, along the ways of sadness
All your answers to your pain
are screaming in your silence
You can't see beyond the darkness
Don't tear your dreams apart
Don't think of your loneliness
Seek and wait... wait
Hear your silence... Again!
Someone appeared before your eyes
"Have mercy on me, whoever you are!"
Climb the hill and leave the dark forest
It's the beginning, cause of all happiness
Of all happiness
At the end of your despair, you wait for the silence
At the edge of existence, fading to the darkness
Hear the voices of despair, along the ways of sadness
All your answers to your pain
are screaming in your silence...

The one and only Victor Arduini strikes back with another massively strong epic-doom album! I've been waiting for something like this since Arduini/Balich project and the great Dawn of Ages. Well, here it is! No more than 35 minutes, no less than pure doom heaviness with the twisted touch of Arduini's composition and the excellent voice of Pale Divine's Dana Ortt. Enjoy!
