ANTE ARAS AD SIDERA

(original Latin lyrics)

Tempora mutantur.

In illis nos mutamur.

Non cedite malis!

Haec onus vanitatis.

Tantane nos generis nostri

tenuit fiducia?

Ante aras ad sidera

cadet multa cara hostia.

Sed nocet esse deum

praeclusaque mortis

ianua aeternum

extendit nostros luctus

in aevum...

Furor intus saeva

iam sedit super arma.

Patefecit porta

ad loco sine vita.

In sceptra nos reponit genus

vita intractabile.

Ante aras ad sidera

cadet multa cara hostia.

BEFORE ALTARS TO THE STARS

(translation of “ANTE ARAS AD SIDERA“)

Times are changing.

In those we are changing.

Stand your ground when faced with calamity!

It is the burden of ephemerality.

Are we so totally obsessed

by the arrogance of our race?

Before altars to the stars

perishes many a precious sacrifice.

But being a god hurts

and the locked portal

of death prolongs

our grief

into eternity...

Wrath stays within

already being under arms.

The gate opens

to the place without life.

The scepter is given to us by a race

inapproachable in life.

Before altars to the stars

perishes many a precious sacrifice.
