[Ole Alexander Myrholt 2008]
We came down from a heavenly high
avoiding the fall with a delinquent late night blight
kissing the darkness while closing our eyes
closing the curtains to extend the rhythm of night
I see the demons gleam
vile opponents beyond redeeming
we all hail the same new dawn
and we'll keep reaping the fruits before they're sown
I remember the rose you held in your hand
as virtue was raped by a vile intent
we shared the late hours of a sweet lone descent
your cunt spread wide to greet the demand
Do you remember the rose I held in my hand?
I used to utilize these tricks to deceive
as I kept pointing to the skies
sneaking it up my sleeve
leaving me with a counterfeit high
I caress you by the waterfall
you lay naked beneath the bright blue sky
and I cede to the light summer breeze
seeking shelter between your thighs
I might not be the one that you were looking for
and I might not be the man you should love
we're tripping now baby...
and I'm coming down fast, hitting an all time low
I'm coming down baby, coming down
I'm coming down baby, down, down
I'm coming down baby, coming down
I'm coming down baby, down, down
I'm coming down, coming down baby
I'm coming down, coming down
I'm coming down, coming down baby
I'm coming down, coming down with you
I analyse the current condition of my demeanour
it's bewildered by the ultimate temptation
I am reliving the pages of this magnificent composition
it's held in weird esteem and I am quite alarmed by all these dreams
I will suppress the detest and ignore the faith
curb the repulsion and the depression and the dread and the hate
I will get back up on the stage because I love you all
I'll keep pouring my heart out cause this is fucking rock n roll...
Enslavement of Beauty is a symphonic black metal band from Norway. Enslavement of Beauty was formed in January 1995 by Ole Alexander Myrholt (vocals & lyrics) and Tony Eugene Tunheim (guitars & composing). The band spent the subsequent years composing and recording material and thereby developed their expression. In the summer of 1998, Enslavement of Beauty recorded the demo CD "Devilry & Temptation" which gained them a deal with Head Not Found/Voices of Wonder. This resulted in the 1999 release "Traces O' Red" which received very positive response. In November 2000, the beauticians headed back to the studio to record their second album, "Megalomania", accompanied by drummer Asgeir Mickelson (Borknagar/Spiral Architect) and bass player Hans-Aage Holmen. In 2007 the third album, "Mere Contemplations" has been successfully released with the I.N.R.I. Unlimited label. Musically the band still sounds very melodic and deeply inspired by classical music but with a sharper metal edge and a truly hell-bent rock 'n' roll attitude. Lyrically Enslavement of Beauty is more direct approach but still highly influenced by the poetic beauty of William Shakespeare and Marquis De Sade's works.
