8. And Death I Leave with You (3:01)
Lyrics inspired by Baudelaire & Nietzsche
They travel like apostles, like the wandering jew
And nothing is enough for them, not wheels nor sail,
To flee the dreaded retiary. Yet a few know how to kill the foe before they learn to crawl.
Embarked, we'll set our course across the sea of shade,
Like youthful vagabonds adrift with carefree heart.
Do you not hear those voices, beckoning and sad?
Comfort us with poison! Desire so fills the brain
It burns us with a lust to plunge ourselves into
The gulf of: hell or heaven, which? They're both the same.
Within the unknown's depths we still seek something new!
O' Death, old captain, raise the anchor! It is time!
This land has wearied us, o' Death! Let us depart!
And even though the sky and sea are dark as wine,
You know the brilliance of the light that fills our heart!
In god, a hostility towards life
To nature, the will to life
In god nothing deified
The will to nothing sanctified
For it will be contrived of purest light alone
Drawn from the holy rays of primal energy
In god nothing deified
And death I leave with you
Which to the eyes of men,
Their splendor outshone,
Plaintive mirrors of obscurity...
And death I leave with you
They travel like apostles, like the wandering jew
And nothing is enough for them, not wheels nor sail,
To flee the dreaded retiary. Yet a few know how to kill the foe before they learn to crawl.
Embarked, we'll set our course across the sea of shade,
Like youthful vagabonds adrift with carefree heart.
Do you not hear those voices, beckoning and sad?
Comfort us with poison! Desire so fills the brain
It burns us with a lust to plunge ourselves into
The gulf of: hell or heaven, which? They're both the same.
Within the unknown's depths we still seek something new!
O' Death, old captain, raise the anchor! It is time!
This land has wearied us, o' Death! Let us depart!
And even though the sky and sea are dark as wine,
You know the brilliance of the light that fills our heart!
In god, a hostility towards life
To nature, the will to life
In god nothing deified
The will to nothing sanctified
For it will be contrived of purest light alone
Drawn from the holy rays of primal energy
In god nothing deified
And death I leave with you
Which to the eyes of men,
Their splendor outshone,
Plaintive mirrors of obscurity...
And death I leave with you
