Gnosis Songtext

von Ulver

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

(original excerpt from Arthur Rimbaud's "Bad Blood")
Science! The new nobility! Progress. The world progresses!
Why shouldn't it turn as well?
It's the vision of numbers. We advance towards the Spirit.
It's quite certain: it's oracular, what I say.
I know, and unaware how to express myself without pagan words, I'd rather be mute
