Cover art for Lamento Eroico lyrics by Rhapsody of Fire

English Translation

Languishes in me the broken echo at the grim look of the blind angel ruins in me the ancient rhyme in the heart of the wounded, dying swan

Worlds of betrayed eternity Of vanished truth, that are now shedding Tears of farewell into a black void Proud and sincere, I'll go (to meet) my destiny

[Chorus] The thunder cries my heroic lament, fate ... consume reality.

Spirits of arcane worlds I ask for life beyond death To align the friendly stars And to become a celestial guardian

Keeper of healed eternity Of truth found for all children of mother earth Always to her I have always given (my) life. (my) death. thus I will continue.

[Chorus] The thunder cries my heroic lament, fate ... consume reality.
