Odes Of Ecstasy - War Symphony (act Iii) слова песни
(lyrics in commas are taken by Mozart`s Requiem)Iron horses burn the landIron eagles sky attackThe dogs of war, now are looseTo devour through their passRain of fire, metal stormA roar of winds takes away our soulsCarve my stone, carve my nameTo the hires of fleshAmong the thorns I lay...and I listen the war symphonyMy last ode of ecstasyThe orchestra plays dark melodiesas I fall in endless sleepWhen the wicked are confunded,Doomed to flames of woe unbounded,Call me, with Thy Saints surrounded.Low I kneel, with heart submission!See, like ashes my contrition!Help me in my last condition!...and I listen the war symphonyMy last ode of ecstasyThe orchestra plays dark melodiesas I sink in bottomeless seas"Confutatis maledictis,Flammis acribus addictis:Voca me cum benedictis.Oro supplex et acclinis,Cor contritum quasi cinis:Gere curam mei finis"."We are like certain rickety guitarsWhenever the wind passes through, it setsAstir our verses and their dissonant soundsFrom the slack strings that dangle downLike watch chainsWe are like certain incredible antennaeThat with long finger reach into the voidAs on their tips the infinite resoundsBut quickly they shall snap and trumble down"(Poetry by Kostas Kariotakistranslation by Kimon Friar)
