Lyrics of Institutio Immortales - Enid

Institutio Immortales (original)

Fern von schwachem Geist entfacht des Weisen Licht die
Glut,
Und umnebelt die schwachen Leiber, die dem Blinden folgen.
Was vermag nicht der alten Macht Best¤ndigkeit zu sein,
Wenn Mut und Weisheit der neuen Zeit sich gegen sie
verbјnden.
Foreseen is what the willow’s haze makes pure again and
light
And whispers to the weak and wound the majesty of
brightness.
Those who promise doubtful pleasures, praising doubtful
promises,
Will be devoured by the painful merciless insight of
future.
Lehr und Sinn saugt aus best¤ndig unantastbar reichem Kelch
Die Flut der aus geschund’nem Geist heraus bekehrten
Sјnder.
Nichts verh¤rmt den neuen Herrn samt Zwietracht und
Verdruџ,
Doch Kraft und Glut des Weisen Schein verdr¤ngt, was
weichen muџ.

(translation)

Far from the weak spirit, the wise light kindles the
embers,
And befuddles the weak bodies that follow the blind.
What can not be steadfastness of the old power,
When the courage and wisdom of the new age oppose them
join.
Foreseen is what the willow's haze makes pure again and
light
And whispers to the weak and wound the majesty of
brightness.
Those who promise doubtful pleasures, praising doubtful
promises,
Will be devoured by the painful merciless insight of
future.
Teaching and sense sucks from a constantly untouchable rich chalice
The tide of those converted out of broken spirits
sinner.
Nothing caresses the new master along with discord and
annoyance,
But the power and glow of the wise light suppresses what
must give way.
