Revelation (Divus Pennae ex Tragoedia) Lyrics
Against the wall
They see you
Nowhere to run - nowhere to hide
Heroic mask
The cracks are showing
A faceless God
To shape the perfect lie
They never die
Oh, my revenge is bittersweet
Lost in the night
Wandering alone
Try as I might
To escape the fight
That never lets me go
Oh no, oh no
I've got to find a way
A way - a way to rise above it all
Saviour or a fool?
The mystery
Fades into the cool shade of night
The broken disguise cannot comprehend
What was and will be
Until the very end
Oh
Liar
They never die
Oh, my revenge is bittersweet
Lost in the night
Wandering alone
Try as I might
To escape the fight
That never lets me go
Oh no, oh no
I've got to find a way
A way - a way to rise above it all
Oh, when the North winds sleep
That is when we'll meet again
Oh, when the shadows flee
In the twilight, I'll descend
Good and evil never rest
They're just a means to an end
Lost in the night
Wandering alone
Try as I might
To escape the fight
That never lets me go
Oh no, oh no
I've got to find a way
A way - a way to rise above it all

This song is simply amazing. It is obviously a prequel to the song The Divine Wings of Tragedy, as the ending is a reprise of one of this epic's themes.
An interesting note, however: the acoustic ending passage in this song is in Ebm, whereas in Divine Wings it is in Dm... just a half-step difference. Bizarre.

Well, while this song can be taken as a prequel to Divine Wings of Tragedy, which is also about Lucifer, it is more obviously the concluding song on a concept album based on Milton's Paradise Lost- the song therefore deals with Satan victorious, having succesfully tempted Eve and subsequently Adam and getting them ejected from paradise as he had been. However, Satan finds that his "revenge is bittersweet"- the chorus reflects his desire to rise above the whole system of good and evil and the revenge cycle. A masterpiece of a closer to a masterpiece of an album, and a great take on Milton's poem.

You guys are both right, the album Paradise Lost is based on the works of John Milton and so is the epic piece "The Divine Wings Of Tragedy". This album starts with The Fall (The Eye Of The Inferno) and continues to touch on major events such as the fall of man and so on. This album is a prequel to song "The Divine Wings Of Tragedy". I don't know if you guys noticed, but "Divus Pennae ex Tragoedia" is Latin for "The Divine Wings Of Tragedy". HoratioCaine, I also noticed the that the final passage of this song was half a step lower, cool stuff.

I think it's a little bit funny that the Latin is wrong. I think Romeo must have put "Divine", "Wings", "of", and "Tragedy" one at a time into an online translator or something. Same with Oculus ex Inferni probably. Besides that, totally amazing album.

I think this album is about Lucifer breaking God's shackles . Lucifer means the bearer of light. Christ was quoted as him being Lucifer, setting God "the people" free. Of course this is my theory.
