A terrible ancient god descends from the sky and strikes the earth with all his might.
The march of life itself no longer matters before him.
Despair and forget me, love, as I go to hell for your salvation.
What a dramatic song. I find interesting that this repetitive track claims that the repetition of life is vain (Gradus Vita = Steps of life). Almost as if the whole song was in vain too, which is very consistent with the tone of the music (powerful and tragic but not too much). For example, you have from 1:12 to 2:11 what would seem to be the most tragic part of the music, however, this part is quickly followed by a totally different section (which will be repeated) with more action and precipitation. It seems that the first part was doomed to finish as soon as possible for the cycle to rebegin. It is what I call a vain music. A music that is unable to escape its cycle and doesn't have a crescendo to exit (the orchestration remains the same).
And finally, at 3:41, the cycle is interrupted by a variation of our action section that seems way more hasty before finishing with a ultimate lament.
Beterarium Deus.
Mons dormio Deus,
Renuntio decerto terra agminatim.
Nobis spiritus !
Amatum floris campus, oblivisror fremitus,
Verecundum sonitus.
Deus obliverat, ratio aeternus
Bapulo pluvit, asper ventus,
Hir passus dona renuntio.
Gradus vita, non est causa.
An desiderium caelum
Despecto veneri filia,
Carpo quan ob rem herba,
Et e animus, venenum ?
Lanquam rota, vapularis,
Vurnus non sitio terrus bibulum
Beterarium Deus.
Mons dormio Deus,
Renuntio decerto terra agminatim.
Nobis spiritus !
Ura e Deus nos, inter caelum tonitrus,
Biolatum corpus, guerra Lessatum !
Utur diabolum ulbis, gehennalis terrarius,
Amor ! Oblitus hic me, Desperatio !
