Lyrics:

The fountain runs quiet
Through the emerald steps and lavender air
The statues praise the beauty of hers
Flowers bloom around her marble breasts

Silver drops of the open night sky
Light this ruined garden
The vines hanging on pillars and walls
Gather the light over the water

Cold serenity lies within these secret halls
Embracing me in her essence
The air so calm and still, and her voice
Leading me deeper, deeper inside

Through the water and floating leaves
I'm following her soft call
Into the throne of her fertile loins

In the flame she was moving slow
Whispering passionate words
As she breathed frost
Out of her warm, wet mouth
She felt like the ghost of Laura Palmer

Very Nice! Reference to Twin Peaks?

[eero28]

something like that i think

[ashkrou]

Made me feel all warm and cuddly inside. :D

[TullaRask]

I never got the point in Twin Peaks, but it obiously have done a major impact on many people. Great band!

[OrpheusIsThe1]

@Suckedintooblivion Sabbath vocals NEVER sounded like this. This is more like early NAPALM DEATH on valium. That is where the growl goes back to.

@MasakoXer

it's not a good reason.

nothing justifies self-harm.

but i do recognize your point.

[MasakoXer]

@monkeyz777

I"m not "defending" it.

I"m saying that people who do self harm, don't do it cuz they want attention like an emo or some shit.

I'm saying for THEM it's a good reason.

[monkeyz777]

@MasakoXer you're defending self-harm? what in the fuck is wrong with you?

[beelzebub686]

@MasakoXer Yeah i know... I thought he was being sarcastic.

[MasakoXer]

@beelzebub686

ppl who cut themselves aren't emos. They do it for a very good reason.

[Suckedintooblivion]

@Suckedintooblivion

I mean the growl dates back to the 70s with bands like Sabbath when they used effects to create the same kind of sound.

@Jeger75

"that Satanic voice" is called death metal. It's been around since the 70s but obviously you haven't noticed. The clue is in the name - melodic death/doom metal.

Also, Swallow the Sun are one of the most beautiful melancholic bands I have ever heard and they are so inspirational to me and many other musicians. Why you felt it necessary to comment with such negativity on a video just because you don't like it, I don't know. Just control your keyboard warrior alter-ego next time. >_>
