Elissabetha - Von Staub und Zeit (Symphonic Metal Opera)

Lyrics:

Intro

Tempus surgit.
Ex cinere loquitur.

Verse I

Ho visto secoli dormire
Sotto pietra, sotto fede
Ogni verità sepolta viva
Perché il mondo avesse pace

Ma la pace che non respira
È soltanto un nome vuoto
E la terra non dimentica
Ciò che l’uomo chiama morto

Verse II

Höret mich,
ihr Kinder der Zeit.
Wir waren Staub,
eh ihr uns nanntet.

Krone vergeht,
Wort zerfällt.
Was ihr bindet,
bleibt nicht fest.

CHORUS

From dust and time we are remembering
What stone and fire tried to erase
Every crown that called itself eternal
Fell back into the grave

You can rule the now with fear and order
You can bless the lie as law
But dust and time outlive your kingdom
Dust and time remember all

Interlude

Verse III

Wir trugen Namen ohne Schrift
Und Wahrheit ohne Sieg
Was heute fest wie Marmor steht
War gestern schon im Krieg

Der Himmel dreht sich ohne Eid
Die Welt fragt nicht nach euch
Und was ihr Sünde nennen müsst
Nennt Zeit nur: notwendig

Verse IV

Sile.
Recordare.
Imperium transit.

Lex cadit.
Fides tremit.

CHORUS

From dust and time we are remembering
What stone and fire tried to erase
Every crown that called itself eternal
Fell back into the grave

You can rule the now with fear and order
You can bless the lie as law
But dust and time outlive your kingdom
Dust and time remember all

(Tempus manet…)

Bridge

Alles vergeht.

Ma la verità resta.

FINAL CHORUS

From dust and time we are remembering
Voices buried deep below
Stone will crack and ink will vanish
When centuries say “no”

Non regna l’uomo sopra il tempo
Nec lex nec fides manent
From dust and time we rise as witness
Ex cinere – permanent

Outro

Tempus.

Vincit.

A Symphonic Metal Opera

If you walk the path of symphonic historical metal,
this album speaks your language.

IN MOTU VERITAS is a symphonic metal opera by Elissabetha,
rooted in history, philosophy, and the eternal struggle
between truth and authority.

Classical orchestration, choirs, organ,
female lead vocals and deep growls
unfold across a multi-act narrative —
from celestial observation and forbidden knowledge
to judgment, collapse, and silent aftermath.

This album is inspired by the spirit and atmosphere of Haggard:
the weight of history,
the fusion of classical and metal structures,
and music that feels like a chronicle rather than a collection of songs.

No fantasy spectacle.
No modern shortcuts.
Only stone, time, belief, and consequence.

IN MOTU VERITAS
The world moves.
Truth remains.
