Aeterna Lyrics – Simone Simons

[Verse 1]
Now the ending is in sight
In my heart of hearts I know
As I bleed my final starlight
Life is born as I let go

[Pre-Chorus]
From the moment we arrive
Love endures, beyond our fleeting years
(Mysteries of life)
Unseen forces unite
We are one
On stardust we ride
[Chorus]
Amor, ira aeterna
Fulgor, fatum, incendium
Sensus omnes profundi
Universo coniuncti sunt

[Verse 2]
I release my final breath
As my atom split the skies
Through the endless and forever
I am echoed in your eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
Feel the universe inside
Dark and light living deep within our hearts
(Duality of life)
Ageless forces unite
We are one
In starlight we shine

[Chorus]
Amor, ira aeterna
Fulgor, fatum, incendium
Sensus omnes profundi
Universo coniuncti sunt
[Bridge]
Illa – lux
Illa – lux
Illa – lux
Specta – et
Specta – et
Illa – vis aeterna infinita
Lux – vigot mundi in anima
Illa – penetravit in spiritum
Lux – perobscura sed illustrat
Specta – praeterita et futurum
Et – posterum est superius
Specta – mentem nostram altissimam
Et – indivisam in tempore
Illa

[Pre-Chorus]
From the moment we arrive
Love endures, beyond our fleeting years
(Mysteries of time)
Unseen forces unite
We are one
On stardust we ride

[Chorus]
Amor, ira aeterna
Fulgor, fatum, incendium
