Theatre of Tragedy - Venus

[IntensaX]

I love this song! <3 so beautiful!

[omerta410]

She was known as Venus to the romans. To the Canaanites as Astarte, to the Sumerians, She was known as Inanna, to the Babylonians, as Ishtar. To the Assyrians and the Akkadians as Ashtart, Ashtoreth, Asherah, and Astoreth, to the Egyptians as Isis, Ashet and Aset, to the Phoenecians, She was known as Tanit-Ashtart and Ashtaroth. Her Ugaritic name was Anat. To the Greeks She is known as Aphrodite and to the Christians as Astaroth...

[SculptedThoughts]

It's unfortunate that the female singer shows no real skill and sounds as if she is singing through her nose, because I love the lyrics and not the sound. Usually I am disappointed in the opposite way.

[nikoliciv]

@SculptedThoughts It's called style. Many people can sing technically correct but very few have a unique and interesting style and since we are here, some people can't sing technically correct and trough 3857439 octaves but still have a stylish and unique voice color.

[filth69ify1]

[TheBach666]

[frankman20]

I wish they spoke English so i could sing along. Great song regardless.

[wwejeffreyrocks]

I Have NO Idea What There Saying But LOVE This Song!!

[SorgHills]

TRUE Gothic Metal! 

[Ayoubmx]

Humanity is sadness.

[henrique88t]

@Ayoubmx That's half truth.

[pineapplepeanuts]

Liv Kristine isn't a powerful singer but her voice is perfect for this music.

[VersiaAremis]

Its very beautiful. It works so well, it brings tears to music lovers' eyes.



[jopija27]

timeless...



[Gregoriomendelful123]

Excelente sound !

[rra022000]

romantically beautiful song.

[blooddarts1]

wow, one fag disliked the song, hahahaha, how do you feel now hater, ur alone.

[EverDescendingBlade]

I love this sound. I would really recommend Luna Obscura, I get a similar feeling from their music.

[pabloxrkrg20]

This song (the latin content) is made from 3 different songs from Carl Off''s Carmina Burana: Circa mea pectora multa sunt suspiria, de tua pulchritudine que me ledunt misere. Tui lucent occuli sicut solis radii, sicut splendor fulguris lucem donat tenebris (Carmina Burana - Circa Mea Pectora) / Iam amore virginali totus ardeo. (Carmina Burana - Tempus Est Iocundum) / Amor volat undique, captus est libidine. (Carmina Burana - Amor Volar Undique). Don't get me wrong, it's just information :)!

[guilherme5709]

@pabloxrkrg20 Is true !!

[trollfable]

fave

[flowersofevilgoth]

excelente !

[SculptedThoughts]

In my heart there are many sighs of your beauty, which wound me sorely.

Venus! I thought you were my friend.

You professed to heaven that you would send a villain disciple.

Did you act as the tragedienne? [a role in theatre suited to loss]

With pure love, I am all aflame.

Cupid flies everywhere seized by desire.

In my heart there are many sighs

Your eyes shine like the rays of the sun,

Just as the splendor of lightning, who gives light in darkness.

[DerMarcie]

shame TOT and Liv split.....

[BloodyHarrow]

@DerMarcie Shame they sold out and sucked after this album as well as the fact that Raymond cant sing live worth a damn. This band is my favorite but much the same as metallica did they tried to do something more pop and as all pop bands do they burnt out and lost their talent.

[aleb666]

@Serpent7776 the text is a fragment taken from Carmina Burana, and its called circa mea pectora ;) it is in latin ^^

[LilaLove8]

it's such a beautiful song :*

[lihlos]

i used this song as a backround music for a theatrical play where 2 angels of death were dancing in order to guide one lost soul...green,blue,red,and purplue lights...the result was fantastis...since then i am a big fan of tot

[natina777]

part at 5:31 sucks

[KnuffiKnuff1981]

nice song........

[alexderandere]

Miss her together with TOT :(. Just love her voice.....

[gorefreak100]

its the same angelic voice as she was in theatre of tragedy one song i like even thou i like more of her stuff elegy really awesome song and video to boot!

[solt3x]

It seems the language she uses is early modern english.

[6darkmistress6]

@solt3x

actually the language is latin my friend and some "ancient" english :)

[aleb666]

She sings in Latin and what she sings is a movement from the collection of poems Carmina Burana, the part they use is called 'Circa mea pectora' ^^... gotta love them

[Relick666]

Man, this song is f*cking classic...

[silverbaal]

pulchritudine...one of my favorite words. Pulchris, pulcheria, etc etc

[lordpriapo]

buenos tiempos

[zevenfilth]

damn this is one of the best gothic metal songs, is in my top 5, put the lyrics the person of the channel ;)

[Kinsheim]

iam amore virginali, totus ardeo....

tui lucent oculi sicut solis radij..

OMG WTF 5 STARZ!!!!

[nucia2]

So romantic song... Liv sings like an angel!

[1LuvsTimoK]

only if iv sings like that now i'd still be impessed.

[nucia2]

Well... I haven't heard her band's (I mean Leaves' Eyes) songs but I think her voice is still so "angelic". From Leaves' Eyes music I know only My Destiny. But in TOT Liv was awesome. *_*

[galanom79]

Just to spoil the party, it's just "Carmina Burana"! Don't ask what this is :)

[murderusmortem]

wut language is this? spanish?

[89kadaver]

it's latin and some old english

[aparejo100]

Is Italian

[KurbeeKuthroat]

Liv's voice is unparalleled.

[ElysiumMr]

"Didst thou act the tragedienne?" Beautiful song.

Yup like beauty and the beast.

[Panouklis]

outstanding...

[doc105]

Oustanding :) 100/100

[potkinz]

its like demon and pure angel singing this song.

[BloodyHarrow]

@potkinz I've always felt that way about their earlier stuff, the instruments go really well to support the sound too, Dying I feel only apathy is likely the song that encompasses that sound the best.

[Rypinator]

@potkinz it's called "Beauty and the beast" singing, or something like that.

[spiffeh1337]

<3 zomg
