Forever Gone (2025) Celestia 🇫🇷 France

Slow sway amongst torch and life
Cruel flame tangles with shadow
On moistened stone walls
As my presence flickers away
Race to the spirits
But still out of reach
Drained but not yet dead
A mossed floor to be my resting place
Seven days ago, I crossed into the dark
To learn her secrets...
Her beauty...
Her charms...
But strange voices and death-rattle speak to me
They lull me
They assuage me
They reveal that I can never return to their world
Since now, I am their one and only master

Let us leave, far from here
To the plane where light shines no more
I have the key to unlock the doors
That will set us free
I will show you the red horizon
The blood that creeps into heavens
And spills into our souls
Our godless kingdom will shine once more
Around broken pillars
Between shattered mirrors
Cosmic gleam
Swallowed by the passage of time
Never will they see past this plane
To unfold this world
One must abandon the flesh and blood

Tragic streams of the sun
Myriad of flashes and gleams
Pieces of great intensity
Like a blare of twenty trumpets
Uncover predictions
Of silent regret
Eyes outline of the corpse
A cloth drenched in sulphureous water
Spread over its face
Nocturnal fragrance
Drained of all strength and spirit
Final spells of dimness
Now is the great moment of death

The hall seeps light
Distant echoes in service of dusk
Ancient palaces invisible again
Fall into trance, illusionary energy
Visions of angels
With no heavenly origin soon vanish
Human sleep is a curse as is time and space
Your mouth is gauged
With burning taper in hand
The face of dissimulation
Show me your wounds
Diabolic stigmata

Once again a roaming woman shows
Drifting like feathers
Her face to the sky
Streamed with sowed vapors
Eyes flares in the moonlight
She's reclaimed her youth
The dry mourn of this siren
Lingers around the estuary
Catching the grips of those near and far
Their joy exiled for grief
Their life turns to death
She's reclaimed her youth

There are times when one takes the path
On roads that consume us
Spectral death, decomposition allure
Slow crystalized decay
Mesmerized by sleepless beauty
The sands of time close my eyes
Frozen winds sweep my suffered cries
I breathe the final sign
To leave the world behind
Now the new dawn has just begun

Instrumental

Whirled and creviced path
Brume follows behind
She speaks that death comes once
But not to those on their way back from hell
For I am the soulless returning
To consummate her calling
Cold as ice and white as death
My hands caress and maim in the same turn
All that shine must fade

Hung form a cord
The pealing of bells
L'arivee des forces d'ombre
La mort vient a vous
Turn the page and see again
The cry of angels, my calling
Fills the seas and pain comes no more
Reborn through wounds
To stay in earthly form
To inflict their wicked acts
So proud to come forward
Never to look back
In their arms, I am light
In their arms, I am pain

Weave a web of my soul
So I can bring you in
A labyrinth starved of life
Crystal blood, veins and all
Pull you down where my breath is ice
Cut the sky, curse the sand
Drown in the flames, bathed in moonlight
Our time far too short, I won't die alone
Kneel at my corpse and lament no more
Lie one final time with your face in my heart
Stream of life creeks in your palms
Pull you down, where your breath is ice
And we are one again
