Vultos II (The Apotheosis of Deliverance)

from A Waltz for Apophenia by A Dream of Poe

lyrics

I was carrying a lady in our boat.
I could not keep her afloat
When a storm took ship and crew.
We fell by the morning dew

Then a light shone so bright -
A lighthouse for us ghosts.

He stood above an island of cinder,
A tower crumbling down on itself
Merging with the sea,
Turning to gold what pitiful used to be.

We sail forward through the ghoulish fog.
Final entry of the Captain’s log.

Follow the sunshine
Breaking through the clouds.
A season for reaping
The ones who’re sleeping

Lead the way in,
Breathin’ heavily.
There’s solace under
This new sky of rage and wonder.

Atravessei um oceano de letargia,
Um lamaçal indistinto em tal vastidão;
Uma pecaminosa e demorada liturgia
Que me libertou de uma cavernosa servidão.

Que vultos são estes que me perseguem,
Como que a um farol para fantasmas desencantados?
Recobrem-me com cinzas que me enterram;
Uma procissão de milhares de olhos inanimados

Use the voice, use your choice.
Nothing less than sublime.
Lift your hand from the dead,
Greet the living and hold the sad.

Here, I give back your fallen daughter
With a warning to you.

We sail forward. Lend me your ear
For a waking hour of suffering.
