Ulver
Sic Transit Gloria Mundi EP (digital)
1. Echo Chamber (Room of Tears)
White smoke billows
From the Sistine
77 votes to the city
And the world
The great unwashed
The ones no one see
Slipping through the cracks
The keys of the kingdom
The suffering church
The art of war
Industrial society
And its future
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who is there
In the room of tears?
Years 1666
Saint paul's cathedral burns
In the great fire of London
The 7th July 2005
A series of bomb attacks
From king's cross
To Russel Square
A passenger flight
Disappears in the night
And I will never forget
Our 77 young
Soft targets moving
Through endless summer
Across the land
And the water
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who is there
In the room of tears?
2. Bring Out Your Dead
The rainbow is empty
And the lights hang low
There is a private eye
In the centre of it all
Driving down Sunset Boulevard
Looking, looking for the song
The starman has gone
And lately Leonard Cohen too
There are thieves in the temple
Pretenders from thrones underground
And who really cares anymore
We all chase the wind
Give up your ghosts
Bring out your dead
The church of Jesus Christ
And latter-days saints
Bright young Americans
There is one, one on every corner
The holy books are open wide
But the future is murder
Dead birds fall from the sky
Black jackals crawling
Give up your ghosts
Bring out your dead
3. The Power of Love (Frankie Goes to Hollywood cover)
Feels like fire
I'm so in love with you
Dreams are like angels
They keep bad at bay
Love is the light
Scaring darkness away
I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
With tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door
When the chips are down I'll be around
With my undying, death-defying
Love for you
Envy will hurt itself
Let yourself be beautiful
Sparkling love, flowers
And pearls and pretty girls
Love is like an energy
Rushin' inside of me
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
Flame on burn desire
With tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
This time we go sublime
Lovers entwine-divine divine
Love is danger, love is pleasure
Love is pure-the only treasure
I'm so in love with you
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
The power of love
A force from above
Cleaning my soul
The power of love
A force from above
A sky-scraping dove
Flame on burn desire
With tongues of fire
Purge the soul
Make love your goal
