Artemis
Bare Infinity Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Antichi elementi, guardiani del tempo,
invoco voi tutti con questo mio canto.
Nella notte più nera, nella sera più oscura,
Pronuncio il tuo nome, Oh argentea dea Luna.

I saw you in the woods, you were chasing a prey
The clouds enclosed the moon and the dear ran away
So beautiful and sad, so full of anger and disdain
Committed in a fight, you have to choose between dark and light

They told you you're the one who guards the weakest ones
How can you take bow and be an evil one?
Two faces that you wear, two souls inside you, joy and despair

Can't you see? Only you can choose what to be
The moon smiles at you if you choose the light

Choose the light, let your soul be bright
Even in a fight, always choose the light
You know that it's right, keep on choose the light
Shine into the night… the night

I saw you in the woods, the arrow in your hand
You took a young deer's life and put it to an end
How can you live with this? You should consider him as a friend
Can't you see? Only you can choose what to be
The moon smiles at you if you choose the light

Choose the light, let your soul be bright
Even in a fight, always choose the light
You know that it's right, shine into the night

Go into the light… always choose the light
Even in a fight, always choose the light
You know that it's right
Shine into the night





Keep on choose the light
The light...

Antichi elementi, guardiani del tempo,
I call upon the ancient elements, the guardians of time,

summoning you all with my song.


Nella notte più nera, nella sera più oscura,
In the darkest of nights, in the darkest of evenings,


Pronuncio il tuo nome, Oh argentea dea Luna.
I pronounce your name, Oh silver goddess Luna.


I saw you in the woods, you were chasing a prey
I saw you in the forest, hunting for prey


The clouds enclosed the moon and the dear ran away
The clouds covered the moon and the deer escaped


So beautiful and sad, so full of anger and disdain
You're beautiful yet so melancholic, so full of anger and resentment


Committed in a fight, you have to choose between dark and light
Fighting a battle, you have to make a choice between good and evil


They told you you're the one who guards the weakest ones
They told you that you're the protector of the vulnerable ones


How can you take bow and be an evil one?
How can you wield a bow and be a villain?


Two faces that you wear, two souls inside you, joy and despair
You have two faces, two souls within you, one of joy, and one of despair


Can't you see? Only you can choose what to be
Don't you see? It's only you who can make the choice of what to become


The moon smiles at you if you choose the light
The moon will be pleased with you if you choose the righteous path


Choose the light, let your soul be bright
Choose the path of light, let your soul shine brightly


Even in a fight, always choose the light
Even in battle, always choose the path of light


You know that it's right, keep on choose the light
You know it's the right thing to do, keep choosing the light


Shine into the night… the night
Shine bright into the darkness... the night


I saw you in the woods, the arrow in your hand
I saw you in the forest, with an arrow in your hand


You took a young deer's life and put it to an end
You took the life of a young deer and caused its demise


How can you live with this? You should consider him as a friend
How can you live with yourself after doing this? You should have considered that deer as a friend


Go into the light… always choose the light
Step into the light... always choose the path of light


Keep on choose the light
Keep choosing the light


The light...
The light...
