The Mists

As Névoas

The Mists

No começo, havia as névoasAt the beginning there were the mists
Sobre as águas, elas rolavam e se agitavamAbove the waters they rolled and they tumbled
As névoas geraram vida, pois estavam dispostas aThe mists begat life for willing they were to
O mundo nasceu e suas criaturas também...The world was born and its creatures too…

Da selva de um mundo de purezaFrom the wilderness of a world of purity
Veio a multidão que evitava a humanidadeCame the throng of shunning humanity
Novatos no grande reino da TerraNew-comers in the great realm of Earth
E logo desejaram tê-la por completoAnd they soon desired to have it whole

Muitos séculos se passaram desde entãoMany centuries have passed since then
Anos de luta, desespero e conquistaYears of fight, despair and conquer
Eram maus e se comportavam de forma selvagemEvil they were and wild they behave
Mas o mundo finalmente era deles.But the world was finally their.

"Muitas línguas falavam"Many tongues they spoke
Muitas coisas conquistaramMany things they achieved
Mas a guerra era sua maldiçãoBut war was their curse
E as névoas esqueceram"And the mists they forgot"

"Da louca arte dos homens"From the crazy craft of men
De sua atividade de formigaFrom their ant-like activity
A Sombra cresceu lentamente em seus coraçõesThe Shadow slowly grew in their heart
Pois as névoas esqueceram"For the mists they forgot"

Como uma doença vil e insidiosaLike a vile, insidious disease
Brotos sombrios haviam envenenadoDark sprouts had poisoned
Todas as suas vidas tolas e logoAll their silly lives and soon
Os homens se cansaram do mundoMen got weary of the world

A escuridão final finalmente chegouThe ultimate darkness finally came
De pensamentos e sonhos malignos reunidosFrom evil thoughts and dreams gathered
As névoas voltaram e desceram lentamenteThe mists were back and came down slowly
E fecharam o Livro da HistóriaAnd they closed the Book of History

E na profundidade do UniversoAnd in the depth of the Universe
O sultão louco começou a rirThe mad Sultan began to laugh
Enquanto a humanidade parou e congelouWhile humanity stood still and froze
E a melodia maluca das flautas mergulhou no...And the crazy melody of pipes dived into…

Nada das névoas!The nothingness of the mists !
