[STORY] The Trojans arrived at Cumae, in Campania, on the west coast of Italy where Aeneas searched for the Cumaean Sibyl, the prophetess. She prophesied war and the trials ahead. Aeneas asked for her help during the visit to his father in the realm of the dead. She told him to give a golden bough to Proserpina in order to gain access and to bury one of his men, Misenus. So Aeneas and Sybil entered the cavern by the lake Avernus, leading to the underworld. They passed many personified evils and monsters. Then they saw Dido and her husband Sychaeus. They also encountered Trojans and Greeks, including Deiophobus, the third husband of Helen that revealed how Helen betrayed Troy. Tartarus, on the left way, was descried as a place of suffering and punishment for those found guilty by the judge Rhadamanthus. Instead, they turned right. Aeneas placed the bough at the threshold of Proserpina and finally entered the land of the blessed, Elysium, where the spirits were awaiting reincarnation after drinking water of Lethe which induced forgetfulness. There, he encountered his beloved father Anchises…
[LYRICS] ***Underworld***
Aeneas: Walking the shades of the night Towards an unknown, dark world of fallen tears Walking through a lonely way Dismal light like the moon in a grey cloudy sky
Chorus: Underworld – I have come for you To hear your voice and your words Underworld – I have come for you Watch over your son and bless his soul
Anchises: Son – I’ll show you what’s your fate What will be born from your deeds – Painful and hard You’ll see the kings of the world, Of the empires to come They are tomorrow…
Chorus
Aeneas: Stand by my side along the way If I fall take my hand Please be my guide – show me the light If I bleed heal my wounds
How many wars will be done for the splendour to shine? How many tears will be poured for the kingdom to come?
Chorus
[STORY] Anchises revealed him the distant future and the heroes of that future. After leaving his father, Aeneas re-emerged to the world of the living, ready to start his journey again towards his destiny…Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
