[English]

It's too late to reconcile... / All my tears

Have not washed away the pain that eats away at my being /

Buried with my rage, my heart turned to ice / your

Sentence is death and I drown in sadness... in sadness.

Tears of fury / sadness of Lucifer...

My destiny is cruel / but I, will never lift my

Eyes to fill them with your pale sky.

Without mercy or remorse, I crush the world / I

Mock its misery to calm my sadness... my sadness.

Tears of fury / sadness of Lucifer...

My anger embraces everything / look, the ruins of defeat /

My tears drown the flesh with their pride and indifference.

My revenge has begun / with misery and agony /

Then you will pay me for the tears I have cried so much...

So much I have cried... So much I have cried...

...

[Spanish]

Es muy tarde para reconciliar... / Todas mis lágrimas

No han lavado el dolor que carcome todo mi ser /

Sepultado con mi rabia mi corazón se volvió hielo / tu

Sentencia es muerte y me ahogo en tristeza... en tristeza.

Lárgrimas de furia / tristeza de Lucifer...

Mi destino es cruel / pero yo, nunca levantaré mis

Ojos para llenarlos de tu pálido cielo.

Sin piedad ni remordimiento yo aplasto al mundo / me

Burlo de su miseria para calmar mi tristeza... mi tristeza.

Lágrimas de furia / tristeza de Lucifer...

Mi cólera lo abraza todo / mira, las ruinas de la derrota /

Mis lágrimas ahogan la carne con su orgullo e indiferencia.

Mi venganza ha comenzado / con miseria y agonía /

Entonces tú me pagarás las lágrimas que tanto he llorado...

Tanto he llorado... Tanto he llorado...
