Текст песни Eluveitie - Sacrapos - At first glance

[Чтение:]
In a contented manner she sits by the bonfire
Sanctimoniously thanking you for the hospitality
Her treacherous intentions as cold as the occasional gusts of wind kissing your back
You mistake the twinkle in her eyes for pure warm-heartedness, and have no premonition of their effect on you.
A bleak smile flickering on her lips, she beholds you with algid satisfaction, as in her sinister mind, you become her prey, her treasure, a sacrifice on the alter of her own lust.
Cursed and sacred, this arcane exercise, disembodied fiend waving through her gaze. Being a virtuoso of deceit and facetiousness, she leaves you with no chance of escape
From what is happening in your mind.
She hasn't come to crush your bones, nor tear your flesh.
She has come to steal your sanity with just one glance.

Значение:
Anna: Я написала мелодию к этой песне сто лет назад, она была частью первого материала, которым мы располагали для Evocation. Когда мы решили включить композицию в альбом в качестве Intro, в голову пришла мысль о том чтобы использовать её как и Outro, создавая Intro минималистическим и мрачным, а Outro чумовым. Это хороший вступительный трек, потому что он создаёт мрачную, безрадостную атмосферу, а это собственно главные концепции Evocation в целом.

Когда я придумывала название для песни, я наткнулась на древнее галльское слово "Sacrapos", его звучание мне понравилось. Также можно сказать, что слово - действительно идеальное, ибо переводится как "Evil glance appearing to be holy" (не возьмусь за перевод названия на русский, будет звучать довольно странно - прим. Stucker)

Название не только подходит песне, само слово само по себе довольно интересно. Это описание особенности человеческого характера одним словом, которого нет ни в одном языке мира. Короче говоря, как только я нашла подходящее название, мне сразу захотелось написать текст для песни - что-то вроде истории, описывающей Sacrapos.

Первоначально не было намерений записывать вокал, но когда Alan Nemtheanga из Primordial дал согласие на предложение об участии в записи "Evocation I", показалось что было бы неплохо, если бы он проговорил этот текст.

Anna: I wrote the melody to this song a hundred years ago , it was part of the first material , which we have for Evocation. When we decided to include a song on the album as Intro, came up with the idea to use it as the Outro, Intro creating minimalist and dark , and Outro Freaky . This is a good intro track , because it creates a bleak , bleak atmosphere , but it is actually the main concept of Evocation as a whole.

When I was coming up with a name for the song, I stumbled upon an ancient Gallic word & quot; Sacrapos & quot ;, its sound I liked . You can also say that the word - really perfect , because translates as & quot; Evil glance appearing to be holy & quot; ( do not want to use a translation of the name in Russian , will sound quite strange - approx . Stucker)

The name is not only suited the song , the word itself is pretty interesting. This description of the characteristics of human nature in a word that does not exist in any language of the world. In short, as soon as I find a suitable name , I immediately wanted to write lyrics for a song - a bit of history, describing Sacrapos.

Initially, there was no intention to record vocals, but when Alan Nemtheanga of Primordial agreed to the offer to participate in the recording of & quot; Evocation I & quot ;, thought it would be nice if he said the text.
