the Prophet

lyrics: Mana / music:Mana
translated by flowersofnight

Invite to forbidden libretto

Thou roam in a black desperate darkness

Putrefied corpse Feast of rapture

Prophet of rebirth

“Lord God, answer my prayer”

Find thy way to the end of desire

Give myself thy blood and flesh I will recall

Thou, go to sublime pitch-dark territory Now time has come

why, o heretical goddess of darkness,
was I abandoned, never to see that which I envisioned?

a perishing lover imprisoned in Pandora's box
an ephemeral, fateful scenario

a blind man, who will never reach the light of his hopes
led away on strands of spider's silk

Lead thy thought to the other side of time Shut in
Awaken the beginning of shadows’ existence

On grace, madness, and blood-smeared stage
Thou must not see horrifying shape

“Lord God, answer my prayer”

I seek an eternal world for the two of us alone
why is this endless love hidden within a labyrinth?

a perishing lover imprisoned in Pandora's box
an ephemeral, fateful scenario

a blind man, who will never reach the light of his hopes
led away on strands of spider's silk

an ephemeral, fateful scenario

a blind man, who will never reach the light of his desires
in the midst of forbidden time...

a perishing lover imprisoned in Pandora's box
continues to dance...
