Ulver - Gnosis video free download
The lyrics are inspired from Arthur Rimbaud's "A Season in Hell", the Bad Blood chapter; the band was also inspired by another poet, William Blake, for an earlier and fantastic album, namely "Themes from William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell". The band's site is http://www.myspace.com/ulver1 ; Enjoy!
Lyrics:
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.
Background is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Garden_of_Death

I love the way that the ominous chorus sound combines with the sampled drums and synthesizers. 11 years ago

@BronzeEleven...u'r damn right...i think ulver did took inspiration from F.L.A. silent ceremony...but i also think that ulver took samples (vocal choirs in the beginning and some drums) from that song and changed some bpm and pitch...both songs sound almost the same to me!!! thnx 4 the suggestions...1 more thing...they also sampled psycho movie theme song in 2 songs...go find out which 1s and where they put it!!! he he he11 years ago
