Pt.25 - 27 A Song of Liberty
Ihsahn:
1. The Eternal Female groan'd! it was heard over all the Earth.
2. Albions coast is sick, silent; the American meadows faint!
- Blinded By Blood
You are
From the heart
Of it all.
The light
From the love
In the night.

- Een Stemme Locker
Hun vaagner paa Skyggefulde Stier
I Skogens dybe grønne Kammer
Da hvidsker een Stemme paanye
Bag rankedæckede Stammer
"Kom om du vil Kom i Mørcket
Mit sorte Øie skald vinde dig
Mit bløde Haar skald binde dig "
- Everybody's Been Burned
Everybody has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain
Anyone in this place
Can tell you to your face
Why you shouldn't try to love someone
Everybody knows it never works
Everybody knows and me
- Gnosis
Science - The new aristocracy
Progress - The world is on the march
Why shouldn't it turn too?
It's the vision of numbers.
We are moving towards the Spirit.
Certainly deserted: It's the voice of the oracle, what I say.
Understand, and not knowing how to express myself without using hidden words.
I prefer to remain silent
- In The Kingdom of the Blind the One-Eyed Are Kings
If it were within our power,
beyond the reach of slavish pride.
To no longer harbour grievances,
behind the mask's opportunists facade.
We could welcome the responsibilty
like a long lost friend,
and re-establish the kingdom of laughter
in the dolls house once again.
- Kledt I Nattens Farger
Kan du mer enn ditt Fader Vår
Kaster du ingen skygge
Ja, da har du lovet bort din sjel
og vil til bestandighet
Ha en med prillahorn
Som ser på deg fra skyggen på deg
Can you more than your Father Our

little bird in blue worlds

- Nowhere - Catastrophe
You fly, or rather float, drift
Through an enormous dark room
A room of noises
Endless shimmering glissandi
Crackling pizzicato
Coal black, turbulence holes of bass drones
But otherwise empty
No planets, no meteorites

- Plate 11
The ancient poets animated all sensible objects with Gods or geniuses.
Calling them by names and adoring them with the properties of woods,
rivers, mountains, lakes, cities, nations, and whatever their enlarged and
numerous senses could perceive. And particulary they studied the genius of
each city & country, placing it under its mental deity; till a system was
formed, which some took advantage of,& enslav'd the vulgar by attempting
to realize or abstract the mental deities from their objects: thus began
priesthood; choosing forms of worship from poetic tales. And it length
- Plates 21 - 22
I have always found that angels have the vanity to speak of
themselves as the only wise; this they do with a confident insolence
sprouting from systematic reasoning, Swedenborg boasts that what he writes
is new; Tho' it is only the contents or index of already publish'd books.
A man carried a monkey about for a shew,& because he was a little wiser
than the monkey, grew vain, and conciev'd himself as much wiser than seven
men. It is so with Swedenborg: He shews the folly of churches & exposes
hypocrites, till he imagines that all religious,& himself the single one

- Plates 5-6
[plates 5-6]
Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be
restrained; and the restrainer or reason usurps its place & governs the
unwilling. And being restrain'd, it by degrees becomes passive, till it is
only the shadow of desire. The history of this is written in Paradise
Lost,& the governor or reason is call'd Messiah. and the original
Archangel, or possessor of the command of heavenly host, is call'd the
Devil or Satan, and his children are call'd Sin & Death. But in the book
- Porn Piece Or The Scars Of Cold Kisses
I remember walking, one side of town to the other
Alone one night in January... or February
It's like in an old movie from some other land
It lasted for hours
Only streelights
And the grating of gravel in pedestrian subways
- Proverbs Of Hell, Plates 7-10
In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy, drive your cart and
your plow over the bones of the dead, the road of excess leads to the
palace of wisdom. Prudence is a rich ugly old maid courted by incapacity.
He who desires but acts not, breeds pestilence. The cut worm forgives the
plow. Dip him in the river who loves water. A fool sees not the same tree
that a wise man sees. He whose face gives no light, shall never become a
star. Eternity is in love with the productions of time. The busy bee has
no time for sorrow. The hours of folly are measur'd by the clock; but of

the family is gathering
in silent prayer
before the bed
where he is laid out
beautiful in black

- The Argument, Plate 2
Rintrah roars & shakes his fires in the burden'd air;
Hungry clouds swag on the deep
Once meek, and in a perilous path,
The just man kept his course along
The vale of death.
Roses are planted where thorns grow.
And on the barren heath
- The Poor Murdered Woman
It was Hankey the squire, as I’ve heard men say,
Who rode out a-hunting on one Saturday.
They hunted all day, but nothing they found
But a poor murdered woman, laid on the cold ground.
About eight o’clock, boys, our dogs they throwed off,
On Leatherhead Common, and that was the spot;
They tried all the bushes, but nothing they found
- The Truth
It is the two
They turn the pages
Of the same book
It means nothing to them
The pages turned by the one

ghosts presence, ghost music in the radio at night,
when you can't sleep, in the line of shadows
around the glowing red eye.
voices that talk and talk towards nothing,
so that nothing's hollow role shall not slide
in on the scene in the solitary theater.
