Venus Armata Lyrics

May is rising
Like a dream I fade away
From your arms after you have searched me for years

My tears are falling
Like tiny white pearls
I vanish in a vapour of benzoin
Goodbye my beloved,
Goodbye, I am needed here no more
Go on and make your own way

***

Follow her voice,
and be empowered
Follow her voice,
and be empowered
by her love chant
But resist her charms
It will lead you
to the center of the earth
Withstand her fire
her ancestral light
her beauty unveiled,
asleep and naked,
to your soul will give rise

In the fiery darkness,
I found a king among the flames

Follow her voice,
and be empowered
by her love chant
But resist her charms
Withstand her fire,
Her beauty unveiled,
And turbulence will give way
to a blissful Spring

***

How would you have known there was a ghost living in your veins
How would you have known there was a ghost living in your veins
How would you have known there was a ghost living in your veins
Until you are fire-hardened
An adversary of fire
How would you have known there was a ghost living in your veins

Wake up and see that you are the one chosen
Her inner light will bless you with a feast of blossom
Exhilarating forces of May in your heart are dawning
Exhilarating flowers of May in you are growing

No longer cold, nor impure, we are
No longer heavy, nor obscure, we are
Time to collect the aniada,
The burning nettle and flammula
May dawning, pink and exalted
Rejuvenating

For so long, my heart, where were you hiding?
Why did Spring have to return in this rain of tears?
Because without your tears
I would have never been awaken,
And without mine, you would have never been at rest
Germinative water has to come down, so we rise up
A battle of love resolved into an adieu

***

Winds have scattered our voices like echoes
Until they gather as a bold plainsong
Winds have scattered promises and hope
Of embrace and reunion of our souls

One of us brought death into this world,
Another one drove it away
Her power is only one
Her triumph is a solace to us all
She must return to the realms of water now
From sea foam we emerge, to sea foam we’ll return

***

What will spring from this fountain of grace?
Who will be turned into a stone, but a watery one
Who has been burnt at the stake, and now is shielded from fire
Time has come to bring the bride back to life

***

Mountains have melted, at the softness of your wings
There’s no dragon I couldn’t fight, and no desert land to fear

You paved my way with thorns, and then lilies,
Now I am crowned with your roses
Thou hast proved me in the fire and no evil was found in me

Like a giant eagle, flying above the fray
No dragon I couldn’t fight, no desert land to fear

For this stain of fire, I was given at your sight
For its power, they may burn me
But with love I’ll fight, your love oh mother
And your armor of love will save me.
