Unfolding the Acts that Created and Destroyed Us

from IV - Black Deeds: Unfolding the Acts that Created and Destroyed Us by Rotten Light

/

about

A song about hurting oneself and hurting others.

lyrics

Wreathed in the depths
Crawling like a worm in the deepest reef
Feeding a void with myself
Becoming an echo in the mind of others

Remains of the past bringing delusions
Their essence is cruelty and abrasion
Breathing the raging winds of bleak
Becoming an echo in the mind of others (Dazed by dreams that we can't reach)

If you want to kill the wait, nightshade and arsenic will write your fate
The vastness of space can't hold my pain, that's why death is my only faith
Sickness and distress, convulsion and affliction, shades of divinity, my real addiction
I am the attainment of a blight affection, a natural disorder, just a reflection

What I can take with me, but my misery built with years of lies?
I am destined to relive my chaotic cycle of paradigms
I must choose between a dark ocean of nothingness inside me
Or a forsaken path paved with the raped souls of my past

Blessed by the rain
And bitter cursed then
Acts that penetrate the flesh

Blessed by the rain
And bitter cursed then
Nightshade and arsenic will write you fate

Wreathed in the depths
Crawling like a worm in the deepest reef
Feeding a void with myself
Becoming an echo in the mind of others


Ack låt mig leva riktigt -- Oh let me live truly
och riktigt dö en gång, -- and truly die but once
så att jag rör vid verklighet -- so that I brush against reality
i ont som i gott. -- in evil and in good.
Och låt mig vara stilla -- And let me be still
och vörda vad jag ser, -- and cherish all that I see,
så detta får bli detta -- so that will be that
och inget mer. -- and nothing more for me.

Om av det långa livet -- If of this long life
en enda dag var kvar, -- and all it's days was left but one
då sökte jag det vackraste -- I'd search for the most beautiful thing
som jordlivet har.-- to which the earthly life belong.
Det vackraste på jorden -- The most beautiful thing on this earth
är bara redlighet, -- is solely dignity,
men det gör ensamt liv till liv -- only that makes life into life
och verklighet. -- and reality.

Så är den vida världen -- So is the vastness of the world
ett daggkåpeblad -- but a leaf gathering dew,
och ini skålen vilar -- and inside it's bowl rests a single drop
en vattendroppe klar. -- of water clear and true.
Den enda stilla droppen -- This single tranquil drop
är livets ögonsten. -- is life's most cherished thing.
Ack gör mig värd att se i den! -- Oh make me worthy to peer into it!
Ack gör mig ren!-- Oh make me clean!
