Dark Sanctuary - L'Arrogance

Dark Sanctuary is a French Dark Atmospheric, Goth Opera band which was formed in 1996 in Paris.
The band's first official release was a 20-minute single-track music CD, Funeral Cry, released in 1997. At that time, the band consisted of only two members, Arkdae on keyboards and Marquise Ermia on vocals.
In 1998, the band added additional members to their line-up: Hylgaryss (Keyboards), Sombre Cÿr (Percussion/Bass) and Eliane (Violins). Together, they recorded their debut album, Royaume Mélancolique. They also held their first concert in September 1998 near Paris.
In November 1999, they signed with Wounded Love Records, and after Marguerite (Violins) joined, recorded their 2nd album, De Lumière Et d'Obscurité, which was released in November 2000.
Right after the recording sessions, Marquise Ermia left the band to continue her studies, and a new singer, Dame Pandora, joined.
Their 3rd album, L'Être Las - L'envers Du Miroir was recorded in March 2002 and released at the beginning of 2003, a few months after the release of a two-track single. This album was a huge success in France and Germany.
After few concerts in France, the band returned to Germany to record their 4th album, Les Mémoires Blessées. This album, which was released in early 2004, confirmed Dark Sanctuary's own style while providing a deeper maturity, as well as new musical horizons.
In 2005, their first compilation album Thoughts: 9 Years In The Sanctuary was released.
Subsequently, they released two albums called Exaudi Vocem Meam - Part 1 and Exaudi Vocem Meam - Part 2, in 2005 and 2006, respectively.
As of 2009, they will be on an indefinite hiatus. They have finished recording, and shall be releasing, a collaborative effort with Victoria Francés entitled Dark Sanctuary.
English Lyrics:
'Tis a sad end,
A sad fate
To invoke Death...
By this rope
Around my neck
I claim my arrogance...
By this deed
Considered weak by mortal eyes
I assert my desire...
That of making solemn
The beauty of a cold body...
That of defying the laws
And the tentacles of Faith...
I utter my pride
Of escaping life at last...
I want to leave this abyss
Of flesh and blood.
I have sunk into grief
And sorrow.
To me, Nothingness
Only means hope...
As I felt my body slide,
My head violently moving towards the sky
A bitter taste be swallowed down into my throat...
A strange feeling of release...
[Translated from french by Aries]

For god's sake, lyrics got me so hard. Thanks for giving a translation in the description. A truly masterpiece of gothic-etherial music.

I'm disgusted by KZbin, removing the full album while you can't even find it digitaly, only CD version. So if you don't have a CD player you're screwed...

Triste final, triste destino que invocar la muerte por esta cuerda alrededor de mi cuello... yo proclamo mi arrogancia por este gesto cobarde a la vista de los mortales yo afirmo mi deseo la de hacer solemne la belleza de un cuerpo frío , la de desafiar las leyes y los tentáculos de la fe. Digo mi orgullo para finalmente escapar de la vida quiero dejar este abismo de carne y hueso, caí en pena en tristeza, la nada me evoca solo esperanza , cuando sentí que mi cuerpo se deslizaba mi cabeza va violentamente al cielo , un sabor amargo envolvió mi garganta un extraño sentimiento de liberación..
