[Male Verse] O abyssal enigma of antediluvian tides, I, spirit of the furnaces, have gazed upon you from the embers of my devouring eternity. Your chasms summon me as the precipice summons the bird that hurls itself therein, And my tongues of flame, like a tiger of living coals, roar with desire for your liquid darkness. [Female Verse] O wandering ember, son of volcanoes and dying stars, I, soul of the deaf oceans, have felt you throbbing at the surface of my abysses. Your ardors scorch me even from afar, as the sun consumes the shipwrecked, And my waves, like a marine hydra, rise to entwine you with their salted tentacles. [Chorus] We hurl ourselves toward one another in a surge of demented passion, Yet at the instant of embrace, only a vapor escapes, spectre of our union. Fire that consumes, water that drowns — our essences annihilate themselves, hissing into the air. This vapor is the aborted fruit of our impossible love, moaning upon the wind. [Male Verse] I wrestle against the pitiless laws of the elements, I would consume you without destroying you, possess you without annihilating you. My embers die at your touch, and still I advance, Like a damned soul offering itself to the flood for one instant of embrace. [Female Verse] I try to quench your fury without evaporating entirely, My waters rise to gird you, yet turn to scattered clouds. Our love is an eternal storm, a tempest without respite or shore, And I offer myself to dissolution so that our souls may at last intermingle. [Chorus] We hurl ourselves toward one another in a surge of demented passion, Yet at the instant of embrace, only a vapor escapes, spectre of our union. Fire that consumes, water that drowns — our essences annihilate themselves, hissing into the air. This vapor is the aborted fruit of our impossible love, moaning upon the wind. [Bridge - Together] So we choose death as the only possible embrace. Let my fire go out within your waters, Let your waters evaporate in my final breath. We shall be nothing but this scattered vapor, Dispersed upon the winds of oblivion, United in the void, at last one, in disappearance. [Outro - Together] The vapor rises, and nothing remains.
