Somewhere afar 00:20

A cry rang out 00:23

Wondrous words echoing 00:27

In my restless heart 00:31

A call I heard 00:35

In three different tongues 00:37

Of such awing majesty 00:39

Soft and silently 00:42

Whispering my name 00:45

I could not oppose 00:46

And so I set out into the unknown 00:50

I spread my arms to fall... 00:54

Ambiramus 00:57

Cicinxiet mon textā 01:00

Cover me in your darkest shelter 01:01

Ad magos meldíās 01:07

Ambiteixtū ad tīros íovincon 01:09

I have lost control 01:13

And drift afar 01:15

Into a darkness arcane 01:17

All that I've known 01:21

Blurred into a pale 01:23

And distant memory 01:25

And so I set out into the unknown 01:28

I spread my arms to fall... 01:32

Ambiramus 01:36

Lyrics:

[English]

Somewhere afar

A cry rang out

Wondrous words echoing

In my restless heart

A call I heard

In three different tongues

Of such awing majesty

Soft and silently

Whispering my name

I could not oppose

And so I set out into the unknown

I spread my arms to fall...

Ambiramus

Cicinxiet mon textā

Cover me in your darkest shelter

Ad magos meldíās

Ambiteixtū ad tīros íovincon

I have lost control

And drift afar

Into a darkness arcane

All that I've known

Blurred into a pale

And distant memory

And so I set out into the unknown

I spread my arms to fall...

Ambiramus

Grammar:

A call I heard

➔ Inversion (Object + Subject + Verb)

➔ Normal word order would be 'I heard a call'. Using inversion emphasizes 'A call'.
Of such awing majesty

➔ Using "such" + adjective + noun for emphasis

➔ Instead of saying "of very awing majesty", using "such" adds a stronger sense of wonder and impressiveness. It intensifies the feeling.
Blurred into a pale And distant memory

➔ Past participle used as an adjective (Blurred)

➔ "Blurred" is the past participle of "blur" and is used to describe the memory. It functions like an adjective.
All that I've known

➔ Relative clause with omitted relative pronoun (that/which)

➔ The complete sentence could be "All *that* I have known". Omitting the relative pronoun is common in this structure.
I have lost control

➔ Present perfect tense

➔ Using the present perfect indicates that the loss of control happened in the past and has relevance to the present. The result is still felt.
