ECNEPHIAS LYRICS

1. Secrets Of A Black Priest

Deálba me, Dómine, et munda cor meum

Impóne, Dómine, cápiti meo gáleam salútis,
ad expugnándos diabólicos incúrsus

A dedicate life to serve the Holy Order
Mentoring souls that he led astray
Shaded by faith evoked hidden strengths
Craved he to know what faith cannot grant
Two masters he served with double devotion
The fame he walked with arose no suspect
Then he killed his servant his power he grabbed
Three novices made vanish by demons command!

Silvae Daemonium
Decipit Inprudentem
Requiem Aeternam
Domine Ei dona

A game for the priest to live in disguise
Between daylight masses nightly horned gods banquets
His books arcane letters smelled sulphur and blood
Mysterious events his parish disturbed
Among dawning fogs he roamed far and wide
Black talismans cloths worthy of sacred terror
His dug face those eyes a gloomy charm gave him
But what was believed had come to an end

Silvae Daemonium
Decipit Inprudentem
Preces non dignae
Requiem Ei dona

Terra ed ombre
Occhi che guardan dentro me
Soli come le foglie
Crollano i rimorsi e i pentimenti
Io ora evocherò

2. Twist Of Personality

I’ve come to this place
Full of black hate
Filled with lost souls
That worship my screams
They hope in me
Like in a King
Will I be able to accomplish their will?

Inside my mind
Inside my heart
A war is raging
That crushes walls
Am I in the light
Am I in the dark?
Will I be able to flee destiny?

I’m in this sea
Full of black oil
Of ships and ghosts
That hear me scream
They bow to me
As to their King
Will I be able to accomplish their will?

A spear through my soul
Pierces through joys
Crossing my chest
Inside my breast
Am I in the light
Am I in the dark?
Will I be able to flee destiny?

I live this hell among two states
The first one brings me to wear a mask
I burn in this street among two fires
The second brings to reveal my beast

V’è una doppia essenza in me, Una luna a due facce che piange
Twist of personality that leads to hell, Death of personality that kills the hope
V’è una doppia presenza in me, Un sole a due volti che ride

3. Beyond Suspicion

In the first morning I pray
I invoke my God
I mortify my sins
And I walk over the fog
Over the wall of the unknown

I have paid my price
I am Satan and Christ
I am an infernal saint
And I walk over the fog
Over the wall of the unknown

Deus Inferi
Beyond suspicion I look at you
In umbra domini
My desecration perverts the souls

I see me in the mirror
I look at another me
My eyes shine
And I walk over the fog
Over the wall of the unknown

In my bed I sweat
Nightmares torment me
Black shades dance on me
And I walk over the fog
Over the wall of the unknown

O Mater pietatis et misericordiæ
ego peccator ad te confugio

4. Empty Cold Veins

Can't recall ever being alive yet I know I will cry
Can't recall ever being in love yet I know I will hate
I am the godless heaven
I'm the moonless night sky
I'm the endless nothingness

Can't recall ever understanding but I know I will go insane
Can't recall ever being listened but I know I'll cry out loud
I am the godless heaven
I am a mirror without reflection
I am the endless nothingness

My icon moves under twilight trees in the water
I can’t see my lost innocence
I will not survive
Maybe I don’t exist

And deep inside of me
Nothing but empty veins
A heart that throbs
Just to breathe
I'd want it to stop
Forever

5. A Strange Painting

Sangue nero dominerà
A strange painting haunts my mind
Sangue morto risorgerà
A thornlike anguish inhabits my chest

Alone on this earth
Sinister shadows and colours
Flirt in a circle of lava
Painting a silent death

A prophecy said
In the old abandoned chapel
On brimstone walls
My whole life was painted
Branded be the fate
Of those who cross the meadows
And sacrifice the Lamb
To the false Master

Sangue nero dominerà
A strange painting haunts my mind
Sangue morto risorgerà
A thornlike anguish inhabits my chest

The old witch she said
On the old wall of a churchyard
Hidden by red veils
My parable was written
Branded be the fate
Of those who cross the meadows
And sacrifice the Lamb
To the false Master

A way through art
A path through death

6. Il Martirio Di San Lucifero

7. Marilene's Lustful Whims

Your father’s turbid deceit
Indelibly stains your wicked conscience
Your love of the idols
Condemned your age to a fierce loneliness
The sins of your liberteen-age
Have made you a syphilitic wench
You cannot deny your essence
And bargain it for any idea of Heaven

So sweet whore just kneel
Kiss your Monsignor
And reckon your lustful whims
As of fate a sinister gift

I beg you Marilene
Give up your prayers
I’ll save you and return you
Back to perdition
I beg you Marilene
Give up your tears
I’ll save you from remorse
I’ll bring you to pleasure

Praecínge me, Dómine, cingulo puritátis,
et extíngue in lumbis meis humórem libídinis;
ut máneat in me virtus continéntiae et castitátis.

8. Eternally Bound

Vuole l’anima, vuota e gelida

I’ve travelled for long through ruins and plagues
I’ve lived through the horrors of war
That scattered my hopes my very own soul
Through demons and sorrows untold

Exorcist
Yet your barren face reveals not unease
A morbid pleasure instead I sense that you feel

For Horror pleases
the ones who dare beat
the Ways of Descention!

Exorcist
You shall forever be bound
To the pacts of your ruin
To Darkness …

I’ve listened to voices arising from graves
The piercing cold chime of old bells
My moral was lost before I could rot
Amidst fumes and perfumes of hell

Have mercy upon me oh God
After Thy great goodness
Wash me throughly from my wickedness
And cleanse me from my sin

9. Il Nostro Patto

Avvicinatevi non temete
Mantenete la promessa
Qui siete al sicuro
Liberati da ogni sospetto
Adesso l’ombra è qui
E vuole voi
Il tempo degli svaghi
E’ giunto ormai

Ma ovunque fuggiate
Sarete legato in eterno
Al nostro patto

Avvicinatevi o non volete?
Esaudite la promessa
Qui siete tranquilli
Liberati da ogni sospetto
Adesso l’ombra è qui
E chiama voi
Il tempo dei giochi
E’ giunto ormai

Ma ovunque fuggiate
Sarete legato in eterno
Al nostro patto
