Shining Perpetuity

What have I done?

I traveled so long, my body is cold

I've been to the future, I've seen through the past

I'm back with a coffin made of lust

The soul never dies

But I'd rather die than rot in exile

Craving mortality

Crawling in misery

Gatekeeper, I'm just a castaway

I've lost my way when I fell from grace

Climbing over the pearly gates

Gatekeeper, don't turn your back

Undock my wreck, I'll stand on the deck

Begging for you to blow the wind at my back

Living I have been your plague

Dying I shall be your death

I've lived so many lives

Now I can see them all

Gatekeeper, launder my sins away

On high tides let me sail

Reduced to ash, I will fly

Beyond the depths, space and time

With stars as my witnesses

And Moon as the judge

I swear to forget and reborn

From the dark

Che cosa ho fatto?

Ho viaggiato troppo a lungo, il mio corpo è freddo

La mia corda d'argento si è spezzata

La mia prigione di carne sta diventando polvere

Bramo la mortalità

Striscio nella miseria

L'anima non muore mai

Ma preferirei morire piuttosto che marcire in esilio

Colpevole di tracotanza, oltraggioso e sfrontato

Qui e adesso, per il perdono mi inchino

Aspiro alla purezza

Perpetuità fulgente

Living I have been your plague

Dying I shall be your death

I've lived so many lives

Now I can see them all

Pride leads to every other vice

Anti-God state of mind

Guilty of hubris, outrageous and bold

Here now, for forgiveness I bow

My silver cord snapped

My prison of flesh is turning to dust

Striving for purity

Shining perpetuity

Gatekeeper, I'm just a castaway

I've lost my way when I fell from grace

Climbing over the pearly gates

Gatekeeper, don't turn your back

Undock my wreck, I'll stand on the deck

Begging for you to blow the wind at my back

Reduced to ash, I will fly

Beyond the depths, space and time

With stars as my witnesses

And Moon as the judge

I swear to forget and reborn

From the dark

The stain on my soul remains
