Ambrosia

In this world, you live asleep like the dead

Distorted dreams through a prism unclean

The colors your see are not what they seem

How can you see with your eyes wide shut?

 

Kiss the demons at their feet

Praise them for their artful lies

Let them lull you back to sleep

Singing sweet dark lullabies

 

In mundo vivunt, somno velut mortui

A deformato per somnium inmundum carcer

See your colores non sunt quod videntur

Quomodo clausis oculis vestris wide?

 

Osculamini pedes eorum daemonum

Laus eorum est artificiosa

Ipsi vos ad somnum otium

Cantus dulcis tenebris lullabies
