Lyrics
Section 1 — Le Seuil Sacré & le Styx
Σκότος βαθύ, χάος μέγα — Ténèbres profondes, chaos immense
Πύλαι 'ᾍδου, σιγὴ στέγει — Portes de l'Hadès, le silence recouvre tout
Πλοῖον νεκρῶν, ῥόος πικρός — Barque des morts, courant amer
Ὄρφευς ζητεῖ, ἔρως μικρός — Orphée cherche, son amour est douce
Section 2 — Les Champs d'Asphodèle
Ψυχαὶ πλανῶνται ἐν σκιᾷ — Les âmes errent dans l'ombre
Ἄνθη λήθης, ἄνευ βιᾷ — Fleurs de l'oubli, sans force
Φῶς ἐλπίδος, γλυκὺς ὕπνος — Lumière de l'espoir, doux sommeil
Εὐρυδίκη, θεῖος ὕμνος — Eurydice, hymne divin
Εὐρυδίκη! Εὐρυδίκη! — Eurydice ! Eurydice !
Section 3 — Le Grand Chant devant Hadès
Ἄναξ νεκρῶν, δεινὸς κριτής — Seigneur des morts, terrible juge
ᾍδης κρατεῖ, δεσμὸς φρικτός — Hadès retient, lien effroyable
ᾌδω ἔρωτα, λύω δεσμά — Je chante l'amour, je dénoue les liens
Δὸς μοι γυναῖκα, θεῖα πνεύμα — Rends-moi ma femme, esprit divin
Λύω δεσμά! Λύω δεσμά! — Je dénoue les liens ! Je dénoue les liens !
Section 4 — L'Ombre d'Eurydice
Ἕπομαι σοί, μὴ βλέψῃς — Je te suis, ne regarde pas
Section 5 — L'Ascension & l'Erreur Fatale
Φῶς ὁρῶμεν, πύλη ἐγγύς — Nous voyons la lumière, la porte est proche
Ὕπαγε, Ὕπαγε, πρὸς ζωὴν! — Avance, avance, vers la vie !
Ὤμοι! Σφάλμα! Σκότος! — Hélas ! L'erreur ! Les ténèbres !
Ἔβλεψας... ὤλεσας... χαῖρε! — Tu as regardé... Je suis perdue... adieu !
Section 6 — Outro : Le Silence de la Lyre
Μόνος βαίνω, δάκρυ χέω — Seul je marche, je verse des larmes
Λύρα σιγᾷ, θάνατος νικᾷ — La lyre se tait, la mort triomphe
Θάνατος νικᾷ... — La mort triomphe...
