lyrics

The Inevitable
(Atropos the Slut)

She made an offer I could not refuse
as we sat down with my face against the lamplight
tongues were dancing like snakes in my ear
singing epics of faith, death and love
but all I could see was her belt full of ropes, scissors and bones

A breath of eternity dampened the room
Her foot was greek and her toga translucent
The next moment I was on the floor
A pair of scissors before my eyes
„Oh you're lucky“, she said, „'cause you're already dead.“

Faith is a murderous slut – ready to cut

„Call me Aisa“, she said as she left
leaving me bare with my outrageous fortune
At the mercy of doubts and regrets
Hamlet's certainties, dull and profane:
O you must be mad to suffer all that – unless you're already dead

I guess, I should be glad – because I'm already dead

And what we suffer needs a name
And yet we suffer all the same
Atropos hear me! hear me and help me
Russians will eat me – Americans dull me
Chinese will buy me – Germans will bore me
Knowledge will kill me – am I loosing my head?
I must be already dead.

"Life is a black abyss". But ironically some dreams coming true after all. I remember I've been trying to dig up the authors of this music led me through the darkest times of my life having "Psalm" on my mind. Since then, the band came from shadows of the underground (at least for several people) and now, three years past, I have a pleasure to listen to these significant songs in quality they deserve. Long afterlife to the Kings. They were born to reign our minds, you just didn't know it yet! Bloody Paul
