Lyrics Luca Turilli's Rhapsody - Of Michael The Archangel And Lucifer's Fall

[CHAPTER I - IN PROFUNDIS]

"To protect all that is dear to you you can lock every door... close every road... suspect every stranger...
But no matter how safe you think you are there is one deadly threat you cannot keep out, and that is... your own fear"

[CHAPTER II - FATUM MORTALIS]

Centuries, millenniums for a story without end
Heaven bleeding once betrayed by angels without faith
Chaos and order generating birth and death of souls
The matrix of the universe, a quantum and its source

L'umano torto col sangue lavo'
Nel lor peccato si spense e spiro'
D'impeto ruvido il cielo crepo'
Al suo vagito la terra tremo'

I am the child who cries
I am the grace that lies
I am the eye that stares
I am the mouth that hurts
I am the cross that bleeds
I am the hand that heals
I am the thunder's rage
I am your inner quake

Holy inner revelation
And old prophecy unfolds
A sad rhyme of mystic fading hope
A script of death and sorrow
The requiem for my world

The most epic battle
That men ever told
The last revelation
The code of the codes
Through symbols and secrets
The centuries spoke
Of Michael the archangel
And Lucifer's fall

Beatus qui legit
Qui audit verba prophetiae
Et servat ea
Quae in ea scripta sunt
Beatus qui legit
Prophetiae verba sacra

O quot undis lacrimarum
Sacramentum et arcanum

DRACO PUGNABAT
ANGELI EIUS
MAGNUM IN CAELO
FACTUM EST PRAELIUM
NON VALUERUNT
FACTA EST SALUS
VERITAS CHRISTI
DEI NOSTRI REGNUM
SANCTUS
EGO SUM ALPHA ET OMEGA
IN NOMINE DEI

In the stellar fire, in the nucleus of a cell
That fragment of eternity that feeds an alien brain
In an abbey lost on Earth the gate to astral reigns
The energy of supernovas tracing souls' new ways

Divina Madre io rinascero'
In quella grazia che mai tradiro'
Parte la sfida tra un ego ed un se'
La sfida al cosmo di un uomo, di un re

I am the child who cries
I am the grace that lies
I am the eye that stares
I am the mouth that hurts
I am the cross that bleeds
I am the hand that heals
I am the thunder's rage
I am your inner quake

(You are your choice)

Holy inner revelation
And new testament unfolds
Carved in me the power of your word
The vision and the illusion
The force of hate and love

The most epic battle
That men ever told
The last revelation
The code of the codes
Through symbols and secrets
The centuries spoke
Of Michael the archangel
And Lucifer's fall

Beatus qui legit
Qui audit verba prophetiae
Et servat ea
Quae in ea scripta sunt
Beatus qui legit
Prophetiae verba sacra

O quot undis lacrimarum
Sacramentum et arcanum

DRACO PUGNABAT
ANGELI EIUS
MAGNUM IN CAELO
FACTUM EST PRAELIUM
NON VALUERUNT
FACTA EST SALUS
VERITAS CHRISTI
DEI NOSTRI REGNUM
SANCTUS
EGO SUM ALPHA ET OMEGA
IN NOMINE DEI

Ego sum principium finis
Dicit Pater Dominus Deus
Deus qui est et qui erat
Qui venturus est omnipotens

Ave, Mater, fons amoris
Me sentire vim doloris

Fac ut tecum lugeam

Fac ut ardeat cor meum
In amando Christium Deum

Fac ut sibi
Complaceam

O quot undis lacrimarum
Sacramentum et arcanum

DRACO PUGNABAT
ANGELI EIUS
MAGNUM IN CAELO
FACTUM EST PRAELIUM
NON VALUERUNT
FACTA EST SALUS
VERITAS CHRISTI
DEI NOSTRI REGNUM
SANCTUS
EGO SUM ALPHA ET OMEGA
IN NOMINE DEI

[CHAPTER III - IGNIS DIVINUS]

"The Earth quaked and the last sin of man was then swallowed by The Great Mother.
The ocean's waves devoured the rest of the fallen metropolis while the four horsemen appeared in the glaze of the burning sky.
Then Saint Michael appeared in his full quantum astral splendor.
He distorted space and time to cross the seven universes.
I kneeled in the fron
