Translation of the song lyrics L'envers du miroir - Dark Sanctuary

L'envers du miroir (original)

Face à ce grand Miroir
Le corps sans vie
Flottait calmement…
Sa silhouette tournoyante
Eclairée par quelques bougies
Déposées ici comme pour accueillir la Mort
Reflétait la peur…
Seules la poussière et la cendre
Semblaient être vivantes…
Caressées par un léger vent
Elles dansaient autour de la Mort…
Les Yeux du corps brillaient
Des larmes coulaient lentement
De cet abîme de chair et de sang
Refusé par un esprit différent
De celui des autres hommes…
La vie sur cette terre
Etait un tourment d’agonies…
L’esprit différent choisit alors
Un autre monde
Que celui des hommes
Une autre voie
Que celle de la foi…
Ce gestalt de peur
Et de Chagrin
Etait la preuve
Que la vie venait
Une nouvelle fois
D'être défiée…
L’envers du miroir sera
Peut-être une délivrance
Ou bien ne sera que Malveillance…
(Translation)
(The Reverse Side of the Mirror…)
In front of this large mirror
The lifeless body
Was calmly floating…
Its whirling silhouette
Enlightened by some candles
Put there as to welcome death
Was reflecting fear…
The eyes of the body were sparkling
Tears were slowly dropping
From this abyss of flesh and blood
That had been refused by a mind
Differing from that of other men…
Life on this earth
Was a torment of agonies…
The different mind then chose
Another world
Than that of men
Another path
Than that of Faith…
This gestalt of fear
And sorrow
Proved that life had been
Once more defied…
The reverse side of the mirror
May be a release
Or will just be malevolence…
(Translated from french by Aries)

L'envers du miroir (translation)

Facing this great Mirror
The lifeless body
Floating calmly...
Her swirling figure
Lit by a few candles
Laid here as if to welcome Death
Reflected fear...
Only dust and ash
Seemed to be alive...
Caressed by a light wind
They danced around Death...
The Eyes of the body shone
Tears were flowing slowly
From this abyss of flesh and blood
Denied by a different mind
From that of other men...
life on this earth
Was a torment of agonies...
The different mind then chooses
Another world
Than that of men
another way
Than that of faith...
This gestalt of fear
And grief
Was the proof
That life was coming
A new time
To be challenged...
The reverse side of the mirror will be
Maybe a deliverance
Or else it will only be Malevolence...
