Song | Aim Not at the Kingdom High |
Artist | Anata |
Album | The Infernal Depths of Hatred |
作曲 : Schälin, Svensson | |
Bounds of the kingdom divine | |
From the horizons of God | |
The angel beholds our world in flames | |
And the crowds who rejoice | |
In both pleasure and pain | |
Her heart is filled with tears | |
Heavy as wings of the raven dark | |
For her father the lord forbade her | |
To taste the apple | |
That fell to the ground | |
For all the pleasures of heaven are shallow | |
Though eternal | |
I would trade this for a day | |
Among the mortals | |
For just a day | |
I would sacrifice all that was given to me | |
My whitest wings, my faith | |
And my virginity, so take my soul | |
Blacken my wings and let the gates | |
Of light be forever closed | |
Mortals - Open your arms | |
And greet me with what never was | |
Given to me | |
Initiate me into all that was | |
Hidden from me | |
My hunger is insatiable, my wish for fire | |
Is deeper than the skies | |
And like the fallen angels we will ruin | |
All that is trying to hold us back | |
Virgin maidens are to be engaged | |
In the obligations to those of the damned | |
And the angel prayed | |
To ascend in our world | |
As she was given to the flames | |
For we are not the children of God | |
And we aim not at the kingdom high | |
All that is divine is to be dead | |
And all that ever was in decline | |
For shallow are the pleasures of God | |
And I aim not at the kingdom high | |
"So give me pain | |
Teach me to know myself again | |
For self-denial is the norm | |
On which all my thoughts | |
And identity was formed | |
So show me pain | |
Fulfill all my dreams | |
That have been veiled in vain | |
For my blood and my veins are of sin | |
And my soul has been sold so show me pain" |
