SAMAEL - Passage

Rain

Let it rain a day, a week, a year 
Let it rain a thousand years a day 
That’s the divine answer to all the shed tears 
That’s the cyclic flood well known by those who know

One drop for every broken dream 
And one for every conceived plan

Our seeds sown larger 
Our roots will go deeper 
Our trees will grow higher and now we wait the rain

Let cry the skies to cleanse the souls 
Let fall the seas to wash the pain away 
That’s the final run to the New Age 
That’s the first step beyond the threshold of this world

One drop for every broken dream 
And one for every conceived plan

Our seeds sown larger 
Our roots will go deeper 
Our trees will grow higher and now we call the rain

Here rings a warning 
A day of wrath 
For all the days of war 
A storm of fury 
To calm the hunger to calm the hunger left

Our seeds sown larger 
Our roots will go deeper 
Our trees will grow higher and now we bring the rain 
Our seeds - larger 
Our roots - deeper 
Our trees - higher and we - stronger

Shining Kingdom

I took a long trip 
And now I’m back again 
To the point where I began 
And everything I left behind 
Followed me, preceded me 
Souvenirs are patient, they only know 
The lassitude they provide

Feeding the void with emptiness 
It took me time to understand

It was always here, deep inside 
Always there, far away 
The Shining Kingdom

I took a long trip to leave myself 
To search for another me elsewhere 
I haven’t found anything 
I just forgot what I was looking for 
I did forget what I was looking for 
I’ve been lost

Feeding the void with emptiness 
It took me time to understand

It was always here, deep inside 
Always there, far away 
The Shining Kingdom

Angel's Decay

You know my friend 
I’ve been walking on a really strange path lately 
I’m so glad you were not there 
To see my fall, to see me passing on

My wound so deep 
My veins opened wide 
Letting flow my distress 
Letting flow my requests 
Listen my friend 
As so one wanted to hear I’m telling you now

So weak was my hope 
So cold the world around 
So strong the calls 
My pain invited echoes to my pain 
Anguish Coiled in the gut like a starving worm 
Fallen, between... 
I slide down the hole at the center of my soul 
I’ve given up, I’ve given up, larvae rots

For I let the angel rise 
For I let the angel rise

My Savior

So small in my greatness 
I am the one who never wanted to be 
So great in my smallness 
I am the one who knows he is not

Around and inside 
I am everywhere 
Ruling my mind I am made of power 
Started down below but now 
Going higher and higher and higher

From one to ten ‘cause ten is one and...

One thousand million hearts beating under my skin

I am the word which means every word 
I am the truth hidden behind every lie

Started down below but now 
Going higher and higher and higher 
I’m the beginning, I’m the end 
I am the Alpha, I am the Omega

One thousand million hearts beating under my skin

I am the sword which leads every sword 
I am the path which contains every path

I am Immortal, I am Glorious 
I am Supreme, I am My Savior 
My Savior...

Jupiterian Vibe

Move with the storm, with the wind, with the flood 
Get down, rise up, hold on to the vibe 
Move to the left, to the right, attraction, rejection 
The floor we dance on is the firmament of our eyes 
Creation transcends creator

Yes is the word to everything 
To pain, to torture, to war and destruction 
Yes is the word to everything 
To liberty, to sweetness, to peace and construction

Choose, make up your mind before after is no more 
Time stops while another time is coming 
The same leads back to the same

"Present is the time including all times, each second is eternity as eternity is now, and now, now is forever..."

Yes is the word to everything 
To liberty, to sweetness, to peace and construction

Move with the stars, with the wave and with us 
Dance to the thunder beats, feel it all around 
Jupiterian vibe

Move with the storm, with the wind, with the flood 
Move with the stars, with the wave and with us
__________

The Ones Who Came Before

Through ages, through history 
Through civilizations, through societies 
Taking man as a house 
We have traveled a long long way to be here now

Back then, we left our virtual land 
To come down on the electric field 
Of chosen human minds 
Where we unite for the best or the worst

We’re the ones who came before 
And the One you kneel before 
For we’re those who are no more

We cannot be understood 
As we are understanding

Guided by the wind, we come to your place 
Reading your wishes and hidden desires 
Dressing your dreams of colors and sounds 
Beware of yourself, ‘cause you’ll get what you want

We’re the ones who came before 
And the One you kneel before 
For we’re those who are no more
__________

Liquid Soul Dimension

Far from my kingdom 
Golden dreams, tranquil peace 
Far from me, pornographic smiles

Far is your world 
Lost in a sea of nothingness 
A passed Utopia, a banished life

Land, of infinite spaces 
Suns, of interior lights 
Dances of the absurd and the real 
Liquid Soul Dimension

The Force is around and the Force is inside 
I swallow the light and the light swallows me 
I don’t exist anymore but I feel as I am 
But I feel as I am...

Far into the inner universe 
Detached, free and submissive 
From up on my throne 
I command, I obey
__________

Moonskin

(En)chained to a shadow of the past 
He walks the path of life 
Following the same quest, like a ghost 
Silly lover, silly romance, how pathetic! 
Constant, permanent, disenchantment

She will be called Moonskin 
And she will have the beauty of the marble 
Hair dancing like flames 
Around her snow-white shape

(En)chained to the Venus spell 
He left the reason behind 
Defiling the garden 
Forcing the passage 
Going to the bottom 
To steal the end 
To shake, to shake death’s hand

Once again illusion fades away, once again he’s falling 
As the milky stream of life goes dying

She was called Moonskin 
Now she’s no more but a round bright sphere 
In his night 
Floating in a timeless place

(En)chained to a shadow of the past 
He walks the path of life 
Carrying that old story like a cross 
On which he will, on which he may 
Nail another star...
__________

Born Under Saturn

Here or there, above or below It’s always the same force which prevails

One must be unreal and surreal 
To rise above the fear of isolation 
One must except exclusion 
Becoming stronger to face fate

Day after day stone after stone 
From disillusion to disillusion 
Defeat to defeat 
Escaping death for a another death

I’ve built a temple within myself 
Where on my knees I wait the day

Born under Saturn 
Dechirer les cieux 
Born under Saturn 
Sur terre rappeler Dieu

There is but a little time and the road is still long 
Become who you are, deny who you know...

Day after day stone after stone 
From disillusion to disillusion 
Defeat to defeat 
Escaping death for a another death

I’ve built a temple within myself 
Where on my knees I wait the day

Born under Saturn 
Dechirer les cieux 
Born under Saturn 
Sur terre rappeler Dieu
__________

Chosen Race

Fall, fall, fall black shroud, veil of ignorance 
It is a new light we desire 
Fall, fall, fall gods of man, worn masks 
That our new empire may at last rise up

Fight, fight, fight the fear of freedom, you cannot lose 
Fragile are the steps, sharp is the rise

Courage! 
Our time has come 
Courage! 
The time is now

Souls of steel no one owns us 
Murderers of oppression 
Chosen race...
...Just chose to be chosen

Father! 
Give us today what is needed 
Give it all 
Father! 
Thy will be done on earth 
And in the skies 
For ours is the kingdom 
And the power and the glory forever...
__________

A Man In Your Head

Wake up! 
They try to steal the man in your head 
Make you kneel in front of icons 
They took the place which wasn’t theirs 
Enslave you with a power they don’t have 
Don’t need to be guided 
Their lambs become rams 
Tell them the universe hides inside us all

Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Fuhrer...

Is it what you got 
Or is it what they made 
Holy war for holy fools 
Blessed are those who break the rules

Men drink the scum of rage 
At the lips of warrior priests 
What happened, happened again 
As no one gets; you cannot win If someone lost

Streams of blood drown soldiers’ hate 
But mothers’ tears call sons’ revenge 
Stay away from the sectarian and gregarious 
If you want to keep the precious gift we share 
Be right to yourself, be your own judge 
And know, non-resolved things 
Generate themselves over and over...
