Ihsahn-Elevator

From the album angL

night comes with the smell of murder
and shadows fall long on my trail
such are the hazards of my craft

all lights disperse
and the devil takes me down

there is panic in my fascination
like soothing wine is my despair
gracefully I fall to pieces

then lights disperse
and the devil takes me down

the gears keep turning
and the ropes stretch far
in this world of hopelessness

I have come a long way now
the fatal riddles
beckon me
I have come a long way now
a leap from faith
and gravity
I have come a long way now
to find the nest
where treasures sleep
I have come a long way now
the fairest lies
are hidden in the deep

in the deep

there is vanity in my destruction
there is mockery in my ordeal
indefinite is the course of my decent

when lights disperse
and the devil takes me

Ihsahn never disappoints!

Chromatic scales have never sounded so good.

@deadpisser88 A true talented musician can make garbage sound like a classic.

Great song. I read an interview where Ihsahn said Elevator was inspired by a scene from a movie... but I don't recall the movie and I can't find the interview. If anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it.

@deadpisser88 "Orgasmic" would be a better word

My favorite song off the album. My faorite Ihsahn song. Almost maybe even better than Emperor?

[misteradri2]

nice

[keyservance]

Fucking incredible! Ihsahn is the man and Shepherd scales kick ass!

[SexxiJessica]

nice use of a shepard tone there :)

Not actually a band. Just Ihsahn and a bunch of backing musicians. Ihsahn is Emperor's frontman.
