Latin Lyrics

 * Deus dormit
 * Et liberi ignem faciunt
 * Numquam extinguit
 * Ne expergisci possit.


 * Omnia divi dint
 * Tragoedia caram
 * Amandamque


 * Et nocte perpetue
 * Ehem desperatione
 * Auroram videre potest
 * Manet tempus expergiscendi.

English Translation

 * The God sleeps
 * and the children light a flame:
 * he never dies,
 * nor He can be awakened.


 * The dear and
 * lovable tragedy
 * divides everything.


 * And in the endless night,
 * oh, desperation!
 * he can see the aurora:
 * There is (still) time: awaken.

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.
