Rome - The Consolation of Man (Confessions d'Un Voleur d'Ames)

"Why should we disguise in order to conceal?

Why then try to hide a wound that shall not heal?

They swore to take us to their lands

There milk-white blossoms float

And then they swore to always die in splendour

So let us hear the wild songs they sing

And let us feel the wild joys they bring

And we shall then disguise in order to reveal

And we shall swear tonight to never yield

To never give in, to never falter

To never yield of cry for quarter

When old men dream up wars for us to fight in

When old men dream up wars for us to die in

…I don’t want to hurt you…but I must, I must…"

Antichrist?

Don't give me the words, I will take them out from your mouth
with your lips, your tongue and your unperfect teeth
Your nose, your ears and your blue eyes
Your eyebrows, your cheeks and your dark, dark hair

I threw those words up
"Love" they say
You wonder what it is.
