Monumenta Antiqua

Beyond the gods of destiny vestiges of ornaments which we will touch with mortan hands what only gods have touched what the ancients have seen what the ages ave hidden Enormous eyes glare the emptiness long gone sacred feasts beyond the lost dreams around the great empire unreachale top Oh, glory for the fallen hand in hand with their fate I see servants of Apollo above the triumph shines sad ornate kings omnipresent effigies Untoched order of columns apologies of beauty innocence and magic born from the gods of Aureus white gleaming The keys of the gates in the hands of the dying seraphim - architectural purity Transcendental vault a hero enlightens all the corridors an aura emerges Oh, end of beauty beginning of the end sound the trumpets, sound the trumpets Beyond the frontispiece the black angel annihilates with lightning the mortal

Oh, behold the encrusted laurels In glorious fronts intangible holy Aristocracies Mythography exposed to the mortals to delight my eyes Dark hidden reasons, a wandering labyrinthine journey When in the heights of the pediments, bleed the memories of strains A cold fea descends the pillars, an endless fareweel by the horizon When rocks and fire are forged in blocks stone voluptuousness, ancient maryrdom A repose with death, an unleashed light Twilight of the myths, thou art so glaring memories, sound the trumpets they cease, the end The scent of the halls of the secrets Nostalgia and distance Immortal remembrances Primeval altar Where are you ancient skies? Falling stars All the lost glory

The fog of longing bleeds on the friezes and white stairs Silent steps behind and Atlantean shadow Fragments of light and honor a mirror reflecting Infinite beauty give me the absolute silence of broken and fallen statues Votive landscapes of crowns and laurels White and golden shadows Beautifully sculpted columns Erected for the solar triumph The erect stone, alive lithophane On the unreal trails of the myth In the center of the intaglio The last days of the empire are told Indecipherable stele Tells the fall of the suns Immaculate kings Divine dynasties The odd stele reveals orders and oaths Fateful dates infinite strives Show me your ruin god-king Anunnaki Show what what was written Votive stele

Dreams will collide with the tragic sunrise Thrones above cloudy skies horizons gleam Wandering under the sun ancient kings beyond the seas Visitors from the realms above Legends perishing on the sands they say lions guard their sleep doomed slaves... Souls soaked in tears Suffering is present a restless mourning The garden of afflictions an enlightened weeping So sad is the way down in the lands of silence Ancient immortal verses long forgottenworshipped in processions Mourning of legends buried by the sand Moruning of legends buried by the sand Suffering is present a restless mourning Suffering is present a restless mourning A storm of dark memories a supplication for forgiveness and curses A loud cry of pain sons of... Chant of despair Chant of pain Chant of cold Chant of rain

These beings, solar breed Demetrius and the iranian kings Priests of blood and spirit Abolishers of new laws Quencheps of knlowledge With tragic splendour Solar motive buried for centuries Inscrutability of visions Sand relics Masks of dead faces Golden tears incursted in chalices Fabulous secrets pale beyond the twilight Searching for sinister jewels, cursed rings from forgotten kings Cursed pillage sand relics The sands hide The shine of golden ages Lost knowledge A sleeping past Opaque relics Now a lost treasure Curse for the violators Curse...

Cyclopic ruins consecrated for the thunder Dark holy stones under the sign of Venus The temple of Jupiter Helios interrupted negligence In the temple of Bacchus Debris Magnanimous trilithon timeless colossus Reflection of the sun forgotten illydium A forgotten temple gathers our spirits without faces carved in stones A tomorrow lost among stones now fallen, dead arcane labyrinth that is the legendary city Wilderness of a dream Baalbeck Frightening living blocks vestiges of grandiosity Royal path still unwalked Vast solitude unfathomable mystery Like the stars that wandered here A forgotten temple gathers our spirits without faces carved in stones A tomorrow lost among stones now fallen, dead kings like Nimrod under Baal-Astarte lar Erected their eternal deity Shining guardian pride of ancient times With horns on the moon a symbol of power Cosmic region on earth Outshined, death hidden Altar of blood of primitive deaths Nobody has seen the silent fall

Taking off the sand I find strange ancient artifacts Hands that shaped the frescos Obsolete machine of Antikythera Posthumous builders Invisibly manufactured Shaped in a mysterious matter Sacred death relic(s) Destruction of wisdom Devastation of the unspeakable On this mysterious land Worshipping the dust Find the code to decipher The unreal and strange instrument Amulet of the hateful Disturbing creation Through strange artifacts I can see the past emerge Like a dark dream In shades of copper Of strange artifacts In this endless desert These arid plains Where death enchants us

Footsteps erased by the twilight A desolate warm silence I still can see signs Fading before me Fragments of golden ages Carved in fallen lintels Distant, buried, forgotten Unknown land of dreams Ruins, solitude of paths Nostalgia of a golden decadence A vague fog fades away Decaying soul, infinite memories There is a sound coming Echoing in my soul A cold prophecy being recited Fallen dreams Adorned legends are born in this fog Fading bridges, silent witnesses Swept by the wind, roaring in the ruins The skies witness ascension and fall
