Translation of the song lyrics Darkness Inflames These Sapphire Eyes - Downfall Of Gaia

Darkness Inflames These Sapphire Eyes (original)

Am Anfang einer Reise zeichnet Zuversicht den Weg
Doch schnell scheint alle Hoffnung längst verloren
Je später unsere Uhr zu schlagen droht
Ein Reisender auf seinem Weg
Folgt dem blutend roten Horizont
Mit dem Ballast alter Tage auf den Schultern
Bleibt das Ende jedoch meist ungewiss
Kräftezehrend und zermürbend
Fordert das was war stets seinen Tribut
In der dunkelsten Stunde probiere ich einen Blick zu erhaschen
Auf das, was schon längst nicht mehr für mich scheint
We are marching to a beat
And wearing robes of pain
Offering our sacrifice
Lead by our demons
Life is a hungry creature
Crawling up your back
We are walking shadows
(You know you are) dead from the beginning

(translation)

At the beginning of a journey, confidence marks the way
But soon all hope seems long lost
The later our clock threatens to strike
A traveler on his way
Follow the bleeding red horizon
With the baggage of the old days on your shoulders
However, the end remains mostly uncertain
Exhausting and exhausting
What was always takes its toll
In the darkest hour I try to catch a glimpse
To what no longer seems to me
We are marching to a beat
And wearing robes of pain
Offering our sacrifice
Lead by our demons
Life is a hungry creature
Crawling up your back
We are walking shadows
(You know you are) dead from the beginning
