If eyes are the mirror of the soul
You will find in mine the scorn and apathy
You will read my hatred as in a curs'd book
You will see yourself as I see you

It is a mirror sombre and opaque
Which protects me, which stifles me
A great ditch around the heart
Which rejects, which estranges me

There is a world in my head
A dead world where nothing lives
And it is there I am, too far,
Far too far to be rejoined

A crown of thorns is still a crown

I am a king in a kingdom of suffering
I have taken my time to reach this stage
I have taken pains to torture myself
To descend, to descend
Into pain, I exist
And if my brain is numbed
The thorn in my flesh
Can overcome apathy

There is glory in humiliation
A throne to be taken, a crown to win

I have no more tears,
And my smile has lost its brilliance
I have forgotten who I was,
I have killed my emotions
Crushed, empty, weary,
Always standing, I am a tree
Awaiting the lightning

  • @DethMetelOnly Ares!

  • I cant find this song ON ITUNES IM SO PISSED someone help? :(

  • Damn, this is a masterpiece.

  • Great song, great lyrics.

  • Once driving a van to take these guys to a show (I think 1999) I asked, "are you guys black metal, death metal, or.....? After a second of silence, the response was "we're metal metal." laughter from all in the van.

  • @DetNosnip (Not sure why this never came up in my inbox.)

    Yeah, this is the epitome of Black Metal. As I said in comment on another Samael song recently (Flagellation... look, you'll find it), "When this came out, it was THE BEST of everything that was Black Metal, shortly after Black Metal first spawned from Death Metal."

    Just because it doesn't sound like it was recorded on a casio tape deck doesn't mean it's not Black Metal. Sorry if you disagree.

  • de black metal pasar a goticos.......

  • Nenadjebivi Samael!!!

  • admirable fusiòn de nihilismo en las letras y fuerza para expresarlo musicalmente
