Interpret:

Ulver

Album:

Wars of the Roses

the old man sings
in the face of fear


the circular mantra
why are we here


the audience is blind
to what takes place


in the pillory
life is a stage


the vertical lights of death
in codes of red and blue


birds in black and white
and the drums of wwii


tattooed in numbers
genocide is suicide


we are our own enemy
and the last judgement


our children are hurting
in the final performance


the newborn is still
the rest is silence
