Translation of the song lyrics Assombrissement de l'âme - Dark Sanctuary

Assombrissement de l'âme (original)

«Je vois la mort qui arrive
Mystérieuse mais attirante…
Je vois une souffrance éternelle
Telle une incision dans ce corps si pâle…
Ma vie était faite
D’agonies insoutenables…
La Solitude était
Ma seule perspective…
La lassitude, goût amer de déjà-vu,
Hantait mon esprit attristé…
Délaissé de vive joie…
Perdu dans un monde parallèle,
Je rêvais de m’engouffrer
Dans un abîme obscur…
C’est l’ombre de la mort
Qui donne du relief à la vie…
Or, c’est bel et bien la mort
Que je choisis ici…
Que je découvre ici bas
Au-delà de mes transes…
C’est l’ombre de la mort
Qui donne du relief à la vie…
Mais c’est pourtant bien la vie
Que je rejette amèrement,
Que j’abhorre ici bas…
Au-delà de toute souffrance…"
Sans relief et sans vie,
Telle une ombre d’espoir,
Une larme seule
Au milieu des flammes…
«Alors que le Sinistre décor agonisait
J’aimerais oublier que j’ai vécu…»
(Translation)
(Darkening of the Soul)
(Music by Arkdae, Lyrics by Sombre Cÿr)
«I see death coming,
Mysterious but attracting…
I see an eternal pain,
Such as an incision in this body so pale…
My life was made of Unbearable agonies…
Loneliness was
My only perspective…
Weariness, a bitter taste of déjà-vu,
Haunted my sad mind…
Deprived of any joy…
Lost in a parallel world,
I dreamt of diving deep
Into a dark abyss…
What provides life with relief
Is the shadow of death…
Now, it’s death
That I choose here…
That I discover down here
Beyond my trances…
What provides life with relief
Is the shadow of death…
But yet it’s life
That I bitterly regret,
That I abhor down here…
Beyond any pain… "
Without relief nor life,
Like a shadow of hope,
One single tear
Among the flames…
«While the sinister scenery was agonising
I wished I could forget that I used to live… "
(Translated from french by Aries)

Assombrissement de l'âme (translation)

"I see death coming
Mysterious but attractive...
I see eternal pain
Like an incision in this body so pale...
My life was done
Unbearable agony...
Solitude was
My only perspective...
Weariness, bitter taste of deja vu,
Haunted my saddened mind...
Forsaken with great joy...
Lost in a parallel world,
I dreamed of engulfing myself
In a dark abyss...
It's the shadow of death
Which gives relief to life...
But it is indeed death
Which I choose here...
That I discover here below
Beyond my trances...
It's the shadow of death
Which gives relief to life...
But that's life
Which I bitterly reject,
Which I abhor here below…
Beyond all pain..."
Flat and lifeless,
Like a shadow of hope,
A single tear
Amid the flames...
"As the Sinister Scenery lay dying
I would like to forget that I lived…”
