Guests:

lyrics

“Coward” she screamed “May the plague be with you”
There’s no escape when I summon the emperor.
The clock has spoken, blatantly:
- Pay your dues -
Flagellate! Flagellate! Flagellate! Flagellate!

Martyrs shall have no peace!
To escape the eternal wheel
The betrayal must kill.
Judas kiss.

Four arms, a bowl, a fork,
she came unannounced to eat my body
dismembering my limbs,
Luring me with the sweetest lullaby: Pride.

This place isn’t safe anymore.
Lo, and behold:

Female torsos suspended through the air,
Hooks piercing the skin of their bare backs,
And their deafening cries drowned by the chanting crowd:
BURN THE WITCH! BURN THE WITCH!
Can you hear them?
A muffled clamor full of groans…
and the sound, like fine rain, made by the smoke from the pyres.
But…why should I believe?
The fool in me cannot truly see.
Defeat, by my own hand…
Is this the end?

Oh dreams, crystal smithereens…
This curse, this wicked fate,
my bitter failure!

There is no glory in silent suffering
There’s more in life than secret guilt, shame and penitence
The eternal punishment divine is just a devil in your mind
There is no meaning to it all, take the fall and be reborn.

Sink! Into the unknown!
Down! Inside the abyss!
Take the fall! take the fall! take the fall! take the fall!

There is no glory in silent suffering,
There’s more to give, let me live and show me…

All hail the king of cowards!
All hail the king of cowards!
All hail the king of cowards!
All hail the king of cowards!
All hail the king of cowards!

about

Vitam Aeternam Norway

An experimental musical project formed by Jake Rosenberg, Râhoola, and André Aaslie. It’s through chance and shared musical values, that such entities were able to create an original album full of complex, emotional, dramatic, haunting, melodic, intense, and cinematic music. An honest work from the subconscious depths, and a prodigious offspring of our interconnected digital zeitgeist. ... more
