Vultos II (The Apotheosis of Deliverance) Lyrics


I was carrying a lady in our boat.

I could not keep her afloat

When a storm took ship and crew.

We fell by the morning dew

Then a light shone so bright

A lighthouse for us ghosts.

He stood above an island of cinder,

A tower crumbling down on itself

Merging with the sea

Turning to gold what pitiful used to be

We sail forward through the ghoulish fog.

Final entry of the Captain's log.

Follow the sunshine

Breaking through the clouds.

A season for reaping

The ones who're sleeping

Lead the way in.

Breathin' heavily

There's solace under

This new sky of rage and wonder.

Atravessei um oceano de letargia

Um lamaçal indistinto em tal vastidão

Uma pecaminosa e demorada liturgia

Que me libertou de uma cavernosa servidão.

Que vultos são estes que me perseguem,

Como que a um farol para fantasmas desencantados?

Recobrem-me com cinzas que me enterram;

Uma procissão de milhares de olhos inanimados

Use the voice, use your choice.

Nothing less than sublime

Lift your hand from the dead.

Greet the living and hold the sad

Here, I give back your fallen daughter

With a warning to you.

We sail forward lend me your ear

For a waking hour of suffering.
