Na Arcádia Eu Estou

Babylon Whores

In Arcadia Ego

In Arcadia ego / Twisted the rose did grow / Sucked up the sap of this world /
Blood red the petals pearled / With some wisdom absurd

And outside these walls / The night took the rose / Bound it with moonlight /
And cut it up with the morning star

In Arcadia ego / A rose to drown in snow / A sepulchre by the sea / Marble to
slumber beneath / Lulled by a mountain stream

And outside these walls / The night knows us all / In dark woods wandering /
Detached of our soul

"Pour wine and dance if manhood still have pride / Bring roses if the rose be
yet in bloom / All wisdom shut into his onyx eyes / Our Father Rosicross sleeps
in his tomb"

In Arcadia ego / How fast the years did go / And how bitter is the wind /
Blowing from shores of Arcady

And outside these walls / The night knows us all / In dark woods the roses
grow / In hardship the soul

In Arcadia Ego

Na Arcádia Eu Estou

Na Arcádia eu estou
A rosa cresceu torta
Sugou a seiva deste mundo
Pétalas vermelhas como sangue
Com uma sabedoria absurda

E fora desses muros
A noite levou a rosa
Amarrou-a com a luz da lua
E a cortou com a estrela da manhã

Na Arcádia eu estou
Uma rosa para afundar na neve
Um sepulcro à beira-mar
Mármore para descansar sob
Acalentado por um riacho de montanha

E fora desses muros
A noite nos conhece todos
Nas florestas escuras vagando
Desprendidos da nossa alma
