Maleficentia - Twilight Synod lyrics

The city of bronze lies in the ether Forgotten such a rotten widow Floating on an eternity of black foam That inspires the horror and despair Here, the sense of time is strange Cycles escape the human reason The people, tired, doesn't count hour anymore They languish, all wills annihilated, all desires mutilated The twilight synod reigns over the city With the practice of his unknown art Three times by cycle, he chooses seven thousand of his subjects To take them in the basilica of sobs. In the entropy, they are tortured with an unsuspecting sophistication, And they nourish, with their tears, the black foam Where the Duke of Change crouched. And they return to their dreamless life Emptier than before And they return to their febrile inactivity such a dislocated carca**. Floating on an eternity of black foam That inspires the horror and despair Here, the sense of time is strange Cycles escape the human reason In depths of this ocean of tears, the Duke of Change delighted In his bubble of blood he laughs when he thinks about the pitiful life, Worse than the d**h and the oblivion, that leads the people of the city of bronze. For these men and these women the suffering is the only leisure that comes to break their boredom.
