[English]

Seth

...

You want to fly above the fire (fire)

On the top of the world, looking down

Pick your poison between jealousy and anger

Both will bring you back to the ground

When the taste of greed has touched your lips

You seek the power

Give a stage to your demise

Deceiver divine, falling from the sky

As your empire catches fire, your illusions die

Distorted lullaby, the rotten taste of lies

In the abyss, no salvation for the wicked (for the wicked)

For the wicked (for the wicked)

You told yourself the tales, the wonders (the wonders)

You shaped the whole plot in your mind

But the horizon darkens, ruining the picture (the picture)

Should you paint another lie?

When the sun sets on your dreams

And leaves a sense of failure

Free fall, all fears arise

Deceiver divine, falling from the sky

As your empire catches fire, your illusions die

Distorted lullaby, the rotten taste of lies

In the abyss, no salvation for the wicked

...

Oh, deceiver, falling from the sky

As your empire catches fire, your illusions die

Distorted lullaby, the rotten taste of lies

In the abyss, no salvation for the wicked (for the wicked)

For the wicked (for the wicked)

...
