| Upon the shores of the Aegean sea
|
| A wilted King is brought to madness
|
| And with great delerium
|
| He vows to reveal an enigma begot by the gods
|
| «You are defying an oath. |
| I will see you brought down from your place in this
|
| world
|
| You will fall from the throne
|
| I am God. |
| I will not be forgotten.»
|
| Nigh, In the darkness of night, a sudden noise awakens Nyctimus from his slumber
|
| In terror, he watches the blade as it parts him again and again
|
| Devoured by doctrine, he’s murdered his son and his name is forever bemired
|
| So it is done. |
| his lips slowly pursed in a smile
|
| His plan was unbroken; |
| perfection; |
| unthinkable
|
| «What have I done? |
| Deserting my beloved son… A vital accord.»
|
| Approaching his haven enveloped in blood. |
| he places the offering before him
|
| The Cloud Gatherer turned in disgust
|
| The Omen of Lycaon
|
| 'What say you now? |
| You stand before the judgement of all this is boundless
|
| Admit transgression amidst imperial eyes!
|
| You thought it absolute; |
| your design to rid of us all.
|
| There is no place for you, cursed Arcadian
|
| Lycaon threatens to beset my honor. |
| In turn, I’ve slaughtered his 50 sons.
|
| And as a fetid remnant of society, he’s gifted with promise of suffering.'
|
| You will be proved as a mortal. |
| Can’t you see that I am forever entwined?
|
| Plead benevolence! |
| For the one who is damned is he who commits heresy!
|
| I am Lycaon, King of Arcadia, and you are my martyr
|
| Blasphemous conspirator! |
| You are lost in the circle of genocide
|
| 'What say you now? |
| You stand before the judgement of all this is boundless
|
| Admit transgression amidst imperial eyes
|
| You thought it absolute; |
| your design to rid of us all
|
| There is no place for you, wretched Arcadian scum'
|
| As he turned in contempt. |
| his limbs altered suddenly
|
| His skin anon crawled into form
|
| His bones melt like glass in this nocturnal forge
|
| 'You will embody the truth for eternity.' |
