Lyrics:
I’m so proud of you my loyal servant
The first-born is now dead burned alive
You put on fire his tent while he was asleep
Helius the heir of the Adepphius family
Let’s celebrate this glorious day with a cheer
Let’s inebriate ourselves with the scent of the grape
“Go, Lucius in the cellar and find the amphora
Of the red treasure from the Cimini hills”
But the pupil decides to trip the slave
The wine falls and the Domus’ in rage
Satyricon,
My precious wine
Satyricon
On the floor you die!
Oh, I am in pain
Will Tullius’ cane
hit me again?
Am I going to die?
WAKE UP
The celebration begins!
Today the slaves are free!
Why don’t you put your name in the cruse, my dear?
Beware the fate, also monsters can create
He’s the chosen one,
Guiding everyone
Touched by the hellish forces
“Lucius I declare you
the princeps with the horns”
A scarlet tunic embraces me
A golden mask I feel
Bewitched I am by the depths of the Earth
Saturn flows in me
Where is the wine? Why I’m still clean?
I see my goblet, it’s still empty!
Tullius Murena, come and pour it for me
For Saturn, go now, quick!
Even in red
Things can come back
Saturnalia!
Saturnalia!
Saturnalia!
Saturnalia!
I’m so proud of you my fearless servants
I have a secret mission for you
Since you are the most brave ones that I know
Get ready for a very long rewarding work
I have a present for my bastard son’s mother
Go and deliver my gold medallion
The purest heart
Raped to death
My everything
Worth to breathe
How can I live
with all this grief?
Take my life with your cold sword
Tullius
Father, are you?
Mother, are you?
Glad that I am dead
Finally, I’m home
It’s not your time, yet
Rise in the darkness, my friend
We’re in the temple of the Goddess Laverna
Who protects the underworld, the thieves, the cheats
She has a mission for you, that’s why you breathe
She passed away, you know?
Your lust for revenge is a dripping flow
Tullius has no pietas, he punished you two
Calling on himself the wrath of Saturn
Embrace this path
You’re now a son of Laverna
Give me your left hand
Offer this wheat to Laverna
Gaze at the candles in the altar
And take a sip of this brew
Nod to the skeleton in the black cloak
You’re now a son of Laverna
Almost unfold is my sight
That’s the oath I must realize
A burning light embraces the lair
and all my skin the fire tears
Gods’ whispers of revenge
thundering in me
My heart is aflame
by the Wrath of Thee
Ablazing my lips
I now eclipse
as ashes in the wind
Myself I abrade
Ablazing my eyes
In the divine
I melt my face
and in fire I rise
All I know is gone so far
All I love, it was not spare
I seek the fat of someone’s chest
and fulfill my burning quest
Is that really you, my son?
What they have done to you, my love?
I cried a lot
My son, blood of my blood
I face my pain
a feast to celebrate
I face my hate
a feast of flames
I’m so upset with you useless servant
The first-born isn’t dead, he is alive!
My plan has gone up in smoke and it's your fault
That’s clear you lied and your blood will flow
I’m going to tear your skin with the slap of my whip
I recall your promises out of your lips
Helius Adepphius
We thought he was gone
“Back after ten gloomy years
Raise your glasses, he has come back
I hear your whispers, await…”
Nemo non formosus filius matri
The sun shines on my mask made of gold
Hidden under it lies the weight of a crime
Too awful to be flaunted
I have to live with it forever
Remember forever the pain you caused
My face ablazed by a friend
He's sitting here at hand
I watch his face, his eyes are glazed
Tullius are you there?
This is the robe of a slave of your own.
And this medallion, look what it shows
“Tullius Murena,yes I saw it too”
Said the man dressed in blue
Even in death
Things can come back
Saturnalia!
Saturnalia!
Saturnalia!
Saturnalia!
per falcem
senem
et puerum
regeneramur
ad lux tenebris
That’s the tale of Saturnalia
