Lyrics of Looking For a Shadow of the Master - Arkona

Looking For a Shadow of the Master (original)

Wzi¹³ go wicher i uniós³ na skrzydlatym stworze
Lecia³ rozzuchwalony w powietrzu i grozie
P³aszcz swój gwieŸdzisty zrzuci³ na ziemiê
By w otch³ani mrocznej
Dum¹ ziemi dosiêgn¹æ na znak dominacji
I odt¹d ju¿ go materialnie na ziemi nie by³o
Dusza i zaœwiaty, œmieræ i nieœmiertelnoœæ
Wszystko to uros³o w istnieñ królestwie cienistym
Jak wampira marzenie, które co noc natrêtnie wraca
W cieniu w³adcy
Od zmierzchu do zmierzchu szat¹ nocy rozdart¹
Z czerwieni dzikiej zimnych zachodów
Wynurzy³ swe zjawy jak œwit bezszelestnie
Wci¹¿ dla œlepców obcy, wci¹¿ nienamacalny
Poœród mg³y i szarugi, szuka³em choæ najdrobniejszego
Jego œladu, a On jasnowidzeniem raju ostatniego tchnienia
Wargami zmacawszy ch³ód gwiezdnych przestworzy
Zrzuci³ mrok na ziemiê, zakrywaj¹c wszelki b³êkit
Na zawsze…

(translation)

The wind took him and lifted him on the winged creature
He was enraged in the air and in terror
His star coat has dropped to the ground
To be in the dark abyss
Reach the pride of the earth as a sign of domination
And from that time on, it was not materially on the earth
Soul and afterlife, death and immortality
All of this grew in the existence of a shadow realm
Like a vampire's dream that constantly returns every night
In the shadow of a ruler
From dusk till dusk the garment of the night is torn apart
From the wild red of the cold sunsets
He surfaced silently like dawn
Still a stranger to the blind, still intangible
Among the fog and gray, I searched for even the tiniest one
His footsteps, and He sees the paradise of his last breath
My lips felt the chill of the stellar skies
He cast darkness on the ground, covering all blue
Forever…
