Latin Lyrics

 * Deus dormit
 * Et liberi ignem faciunt
 * Numquam extinguunt
 * Ne expergisci possint


 * Omnia dividit
 * Tragedia caram
 * Amandamquae


 * Et nocte perpetua
 * In desperatione
 * Auroram videre potest
 * Mane tempus expergiscendi

English Translation

 * The god sleeps
 * And the children light a fire
 * That'll never go out
 * So that he may never awaken


 * All does tragedy
 * Presently divide
 * All does it send away


 * And within this endless night
 * In despair
 * A sunrise can be seen
 * The morning; the time of awakening

Etymology
"Somnus" is the Latin word for "sleep", and the personification of sleep (also called "Hypnos"), a possible reference to the game logo, which is an image of a sleeping woman.
