In Tha Umbra

The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath A Cloud

In Tha Umbra


As jewels of a marble kind 
A curtain of black fell like rain 
Of Hag the dusk awaken the dead 
And the sun bled away 

Eu oiço o crepusculo cantar 
São os filhos da noite que em melodias obscuras 
Desejam o luar com paixão e ansiedade 
E que com ódio amaldiçoam a luz 

Aghast the sun hides 
Ra ashamed 
The ominous vulture screams 
And an ebbing light is wrung by nightfall 
Eden is in ruins, flames of carmine glow in midnight skies 
Reflections in the waters as a dance of shadows 
In pale horizons the moon lay hidden beneath a cloud 
And thrive to dominate - Ate queen of the dead 

Cold frost falls from a pallored sky 
A shadded funeral firmament as horizon 
The twilight of a sun through the wail of dusk 
As the moon lay hidden beneath a cloud 
And the crow wept and so did the sun 
Sharing tears of blood like the sweetest wine 
In choir the breed of the night sing forth the dark 
Of the singing dusk to welcome the eternal night 
So by Autumn leaves the queen is crowned 
The glowing scythe through fogs of funeral reaping life 

Dawn be fearful of the disgrace of an ebbing sun 
Hidden beneath a cloud a black moon brings forth chaos 

Held the jewels of atrocity 
On streams of crystal dreams in slumber 
At dawn the sleep, by dusk they haunt 
The children of the damned 
And let immortality kiss the skin of Lilith 
As the deathly Ereshkigal walks the Yaruu 
Diva of black vests empossed and seductive might 
In feasts of ambrosia and orgies for the gods 

"Depressa, depressa ó dragões da noite! 
Que a manhã possa descobrir o olho do corvo" 

"E agora secretas e negras bruxas da meia-noite?" 
Shakespeare 

Like an harpia, the betraying face of an angel 
Vulture in hunting fashion, fallen from the Zenith 
Yggdrasil, the nest of Fenris, Hel goddess of Elvidnir 
Night and day are nine from Asgard 

As the Górgona bathes in crimson infernal lakes 
Of sibilant serpents and horrors that descend to the abysmal lands 
A petreal image in the Eternal night 
At the doors of Ishtar the decline of an empire 

"A não ser que a Górgona saindo dos lagos infernais 
Armada de horrores e caracóis de serpentes sibilantes 
Me torne, pela visão monstruosa, 
Numa imagem pétrea na noite Eterna." 
Homer 

And listen to the singing dusk 
As the moon lay hidden beneath a cloud 
The ominous vulture screams 
To poison the ebbing light... forever doomed 
As jewels of a death painted red 
Like a curtain of raining blood 
Hag the moon, queen of the dead 
Bleeding the sun away... forever 
Hidden beneath a cloud a black moon brings forth chaos
