[Verse 1]
A dream of the heavens and earth brimming with ecstasy: from the eternal window, the Lord watches over us
The oppressed captive populace passed away before noticing that fact
[Pre-Chorus]
If I am commanded by compassion, then I will move to surpass my sin
All sorrows - behold - before thine eyes, they are disappearing and reappearing
[Chorus]
Strike the stake, strike the stake, slash open the dark night and bathе in moonlight
The thousands of iron hammers becomе thy pain and now find release
Soon the screams will dance in the heavens - won't the night sky, too, be dyed red?
The cross-shaped stake becomes thy strength, and soon, thou wilt reach the holy land
[Verse 2]
Through loyalty to rules and laws, even without a contract, thou art bound
The mountain that feared fire, without nurturing the earth, is withering away in its rest
[Pre-Chorus]
If I cannot forbid only my passion, then I cannot forget even my pain
Because I keep refusing them - behold - the afterimages are disappearing and reappearing
[Chorus]
Bite the sand, bite the sand, carry thy suffering as though pregnant with child
The arc drawn by the needle turns emptiness into pleasure, and I gaze up at the sky
Sever the sins of the world that must come; nourish and tame the flocks of sheep
When the psalm of gratitude is answered, Hallelujah. Praise the Lord
[Bridge]
From the great ship, lower the gate
Unfurl the sail and set out as legend -
If I hear that thou reacheth the heavens, I will sink into the crowds of rabble
[Chorus]
Adorn thyself with blood, adorn thyself with blood, as the slaves and livestock are being guided
Do not reach out thy hand, nor thirst with desire - those who turn their backs will always merely continue to be lost
Strike the stake, strike the stake, slash open the dark night and bathe in moonlight
The thousands of iron hammers become thy pain and now find release
Soon the screams will dance in the heavens - won't the night sky, too, be dyed red?
The cross-shaped stake becomes thy strength, and soon, thou wilt reach the holy land
