Lyrics My Dying Bride - The Light At The End Of The World

Island, bright, shining island
Forever alone in the sea
From stone, sand, grass
And an island of clay, without a single tree

- Small. Just a dot in the vast blue
Sea. This is the last of the lands
And a resident on our dreary
The island is the last... lonely person? –

By the will of the gods he is there
To stay there for life.
Without the right to leave him, His punishment is on
Centuries – maintain eternal light

The lighthouse is tall, shining and
The white one that stands on the edge
Sveta. Fencing ships
And sailors from the reefs

But nothing changes
Only the bright blue sea
Spread far and wide
This is all our hero can see

But one day high
On a rock a bird sat down and screamed
Albatross, he glanced
And I was surprised why?

Is this the observer sent to me?
Curse from the gods
Screaming and staring
For the life that they themselves stole from him

Every year he flies to see it
This is a creature from heaven above
But not a curse, but a memory
About the woman that he loved

– Oh, on a dreary night, under the stars
He lay and watched
Up to the stars and the moon
And the dying reflection of the sun

Again and again the light of Orion
Filled our hero with joy
Among the stars of his belt he saw his love
Remembering her voice -

Twinkling stars from the sky
Filled his heart with peace
While she's looking down at him
They are inseparable

Good and cloudy days alternate
Storm, heat, sun
And beyond the sea he tries to see the land
His beloved Albion
White rocks and green trees
Playing children
My homeland he cries and groans
But why so far?

Eyes red and painful, filled with tears
He runs to the sea
To risk your life for a worthwhile cause
For the sake of returning home

In the sea deep and blue
The waters washed him
He woke up in a cold sweat
Albion is just a dream

Such is life on the island
Suffering and sorrow
Some days are hard, others are not.
Sometimes even filled with hope

Light at the edge of the world
Shines bright for miles and miles
And the same man maintains his golden glow
Suffering all this time?

For fifty years he stands and waits
Alone at his lighthouse
Looking at the island below
That the gods made it a home

Man at the End of the World
Desecrated by suffering
Remembering that one night
Allows himself to smile

(His sacrifice wasn't that great
He affirms to the world
Again he will sin
Will pay again
For a single moment with a girl)

Her hair is long black and shiny
The dark beauty of her eyes
Olive skin and warm hugs
Her memory will never die

It was many years ago, he remembers well
The life they lived
Endless love and hope
Which they gave to each other

Alas, this love and happiness
They were as short as a passionate sigh
For one dark night, her soul was kissed
The shadow of death

(Agony like he had never experienced before
Struck our hero)
Holding a bright fire now
What burns on the last of the lands
(Anger, rage and suffering
Which have never happened before)
He cursed both gods and people and life itself
What tore his heart apart

– And the deity took pity on our hero
And threw him a ray of light
"You can see your wife
But only for one night -

But think about it carefully
The price will be high:
Keep the light on at the edge of the world
Forever and always

Far from people and life and love
You will live alone
On a tiny island, a bright shining island
In the middle of the sea"

- "I'll keep the lights on for the night
with the woman that I love"
He shouted with his eyes full of tears
To the deity above

And then there was that very night
When his love returned
In his arms and in their bed
Together they spun
In the deepest love and passion
They lay intertwined
Lost in each other's arms
They danced (at the lovers' ball) -
.....
