Bahal : Striges
Lyrics
1. MATER DIANA
(Instrumental)
2. LADY OF THE EAST
Oriens
Domina ludi
Mater Diana
We follow thee
In these ancient paths
Oppressed and accused
We will stand tall
A fire in our hearts
Against all will burn
Elder, divine
Lady of the east
We salute you
Our Goddess Supreme
Herodiadem
“sic appellant Dianam”
Saltatio strigarum
Venisne mecum?
Mater Diana
Elder, divine
Lady Of The East
We salute you
Our Goddess Supreme
Oriens
3. FUOCHI DELL’ODIO
Rome, Sixteen Hundred
A sad rainy day
Two soldiers are leading
A man to the pole
Here I stand
In these marble halls
Crimson-robed priests
State my destiny
I don’t fear your sentence
I don’t fear your gallows
Apostasy
I’ll die with my beliefs
Brucia la fiamma
Della repressione
Bruciano I libri
È l’Inquisizione
La folla impaurita
Guarda il condannato
Andare alla morte
Fiero, ardito
Pronuncia il verdetto
L’Aldobrandini
La tremula voce
Di chi assassina
Il Santo Uffizio
Ormai ha deciso
Fuochi dell’odio
E dell’oppressione
Regina del Male
È l’inquisizione
Sic fiat voluntas
Vostra Eccellenza
Sic fiat voluntas
Amen
Brucia…
Brucia…
Brucia…
Tra i fuochi della repressione
Brucia…
4. RELAPSA
We stand like Prometheus
Eternally condemned
We brought fire to mankind
The fire of knowledge
Portammo all’uomo accecato
Dai Papi la luce divina
Pochi capirono il bagliore
Sorto dalle tenebre
Relapsa…
5. THE PRIEST
Chaos – Order
Evil – Divine
Our God perished on a cross
For that cross they die
Persecuted and accused
We now sentence them to death
Look, the cross of our Father
It’s still tainted – bloodred
Godlike? – Madness!
Symphony of Death
We are the hunters
But we were the preys!
Persecuted and accused
We now sentence them to death
Look, the cross of our Father
It’s still tainted – bloodred
6. SALTATIO STRIGARUM
You’re welcome to the game of Oriens
Let’s dance and feast – into the woods
Our goddess the moon
Will show us the truth
Mistress of the Nightsky
Dance with us tonight
Virgin spirit of the woods
We’re waiting for a sign
Silver light, Her Majesty
So pure, so pale, the moon
Selen’s eye is watching us
Benediction from above
7. VALPERGA
Witches burning on this night
Martyrs dying to pacify
The closed mind of peasants
Devoted to idols – supersticious
No one wants to get involved
They accuse but they won’t judge
I watch my liege it keeps on burning
But it’s not finished yet
In Valperga
Valperga
Hear the cries of women burning
Satan’s falling – Deus Lo Vult!
“Lamia”, “Stria” I hear them calling
Lord, forgive them for what they’ve done
Monstra volant, dirae stridunt
In nube volucres, nocturnaeque gemunt
Striges et feralia bubo
Damna canens
(Thèbais, P.Papinius Statius)
Sic Striges per silvam ductae
Ignis purgat
8. MCCCXC
Why are you so sad for me
Soon we’ll meet again
No more tears to cry in vain
No matter, I’ll be there
From the wind from the stars
I will gaze at you
Even if I’m dying now
I don’t want you to shed a tear
Have a smile when thinkin’ about me
The sweetness and the joy
They will lead me to the pole
Through fire they’ll destroy
Time bereaves the memories
The blackness and the evil
This is my last epitaph
For people that are to come
Time bereaves the memories
