A Metaphor For The Dead
Anaal Nathrakh

Act! While in delirium,

I no longer know what I say,

or what I do!

And yet it's necessary... make an effort!

Bah! Are you not a man?


Naked and alone, before the cadaver


[A quote from Pagliacci:]

Ridi, Pagliaccio,

sul tuo amore infranto!

Ridi del duol, che t'avvelena il cor!

[English translation:]

Laugh, clown,

at your broken love!

Laugh at the grief that poisons your heart!


Put on your costume

and powder your face.

The people pay to be here, and they want to laugh.

And if Harlequin shall steal your Columbina,

laugh, clown, so the crowd will cheer!


Pane of glass shattered, yet finally clear.


Ridi, Pagliaccio,

sul tuo amore infranto!

Ridi del duol, che t'avvelena il cor!

Lyrics by Anaal Nathrakh

  Ashes Screaming Silence   Blood Eagles Carved On The Backs Of Innocents   Drug-Fucking Abomination   Feeding the Beast   Forging Towards The Sunset   In Coelo Quies, Tout Finis Ici Bas   In Coelo Quies. Tout Finis Ici Bas   In The Constellation Of The Black Widow   Le Diabolique Est L'Ami Du Simplement Mal   Locus Of Damnation   Make Glorious the Embrace of Saturn   More Of Fire Than Blood   Of Fire, And Fucking Pigs   Oil Upon The Sores Of Lepers   Paragon Pariah   Post-Traumatic Stress Euphoria   Rage, rage against the dying of the light   Screaming of the Unborn   So Be It   Terror In The Mind Of God   The Blood-Dimmed Tide   The Lucifer Effect   The Unbearable Filth Of The Soul   To Spite the Face   Tod Huetet Uebel   Todos Somos Humanos   Who Thinks Of The Executioner?   You Can't Save Me, So Stop Fucking Trying
