Sub Specie Aeternitatis Lyrics

I am looking for the face I had
before the world was made,
I am looking for the flawed plot of
an immortal intelligence.
Acts are my symbols
symbols are my maze.

I feel I woke up
in another dream

If I could hear all the sounds of the world
I would recognize my own steps
walking in a single instant all of my lifes.

A god shall say only one word,
in that word fullness shines.
No voice articulated by him

can be inferior to the universe.
Can a god make sure it is no more what it was?

Fate consists of a single instant,
the moment when a man knows forever
that he is and who he is.
I am confusing myself
with the shape of
my destiny, now I see only one sun
exists once.

I saw the faceless god behind the gods,
it has my many faces,
I am the symbol I was looking for.
Everything in the universe can be
the germ of a possible hell.
My flesh may be afraid, I may not.

I look at my face in the
mirror
to know what I'll show
when facing the neverending end.
May Heaven exist
even if hell is my place,
as the attribute of infernal is
unreality.
