"Per Aspera Ad Astra" lyrics

"Per Aspera Ad Astra"

Adesso sono qui

An old dungeon hidden from all the light
Thirteen candles enlighten the dark
Shadows are playing their games on the wall
And a shimmering glow fills the arch

Now, as night steps aside, and a new dawn will break
Silently a new age of science awakes

Old theory that has been wrong
Power of the universe
Will take me to the place where I belong

Through the clouds of lies and fear
In silent moments it comes near

In my deepest hour of darkness
They will shine endlessly
Splenderanno
The sword that killed the unicorn
Callisto, Europa

Adesso sono qui

Now, as night steps aside, and a new dawn will break
Silently a new age of science awakes

Splenderanno
Per aspera ad astra

His theories and knowledge
Mean danger in these times
And those accused of heresy
Will not longer be alive
Hide, hide your secrets well
For in your darkest hour you should dwell

Adesso sono qui
An old table covered with parchments and rolls
The great one has children of four
Callisto, Europa, Ganymed e Io
The bright universe to adore

Old theory that has been wrong
Power of the universe
Will take me to the place where I belong

Through the clouds of lies and fear
In silent moments it comes near

In my deepest hour of darkness
They will shine endlessly
Splenderanno
The sword that killed the unicorn
Callisto, Europa
