Pleurs Nocturnels Lyrics

Pleurs Nocturnels lyrics

[Poetry : Arnault de Stael]



[Music : Romarik d'Arvycendres]







[I. Spleen]







My bleeding heart on the altar



Shall forever be dark



Under a moonless night I lay



Embraced by the unlight







Oh my sweet fleeting illusion 



You cast my dreams away



Trough the valleys of oblivion



I wander with dismay







Can I find in disillusion



A dark elevation



Can I see in my bleeding heart



A worthless emotion







Oh death intenser



My crestfallen love



Pain is love highmeed



My everlasting loss







Unfolding a masquerade of grims



All hope died in myself



And thus ended the latest dream



That I have ever dream







Can I find in disillusion



A dark elevation



Can I see in my bleeding heart



A worthless emotion







Oh death intenser



My crestfallen love



Pain is love highmeed



... To forever lost...







-Follow the dark aspect of life



(it's now the only light)



Under a dying sun



Come glorify to the dark



... Nemesis come to me !







[II. Renaissance]







Make me die and reborn in a fleeting wisp of haze



Oh goddess of the night wistful nocturnal bride



Lead me to the everlasting and forgotten domains



Of knowledge and beauty to glorify the dark!







Amongst the stones sites of angels and all sad creatures



Give me the thirst give the will to forget my anguish



And build with all my grieves a cathedral of tears



For eternal lovers to glorify the night







[III. Awakening]







The anachronical facades of my consistency



Sad reflect of a spiritual isolation



Oh myriads let us gather children of tragedy



Oh myriads legions of tears for the final oration







- Let us drink the tears flowing from my eyes -



Let us drink the blood flowing from my arms







[IV. Ideal]







Ô désir ardent 



Bois ce sang vermeil qui jaillit de mes veines



Et s'offre à ta gorge profonde



Et goûtons ensemble



A l'immortelle errance







En purifiant nos âmes



Par cette divine essence



Qui nous mènera là



Où rien ne s'achève







Sous des pleurs d'extase



Esclavages nocturnels



N'ayant d'égal que la nuit.
