Anorexia Nervosa
"Worship Manifesto"


So on my head the light is one
Unity manifest
A star more splendid than the sun
Burns for my crowned crest
Burns as the murmuring orison
Of waters in the west

Still on the mystic tree of life
My soul is crucified
Still strikes the sacrificial knife
Where lurks some serpent-eyed
Fear, passion, or man’s deadly wife
Desire the suicide !

I hold my cross among you lambs
Seven mortal wounds for my vanity
Stigmata of your mockery
I Shall be the last you’ll ever see
There ain’t no life
There ain’t no eden
Proud ignorance
Here lies the storm

Now forget about love and fight
Only believe in beauty
And might
For the beauty of this final act is
Love under will

Ici commence la nuit noire de l’âme
Ici s’accomplissent par le feu
Les oeuvres de l’éternelle lumière

Ici commence la nuit noire de l’âme
Ange de glace désertant l’enfer
Mon corps est un dernier chemin de croix
Ici commence la nuit noire de l’âme
Allonge-toi, ô ma mère
Et vois ce qu’est devenue
Entre mes mains ta foi
Ici commence la nuit noire de l’âme
Abîme alentour et silence de mort
Cadavre écorché que lave
L’affreux silence de ton corps

There ain’t no life
There ain’t no eden
Proud ignorance
The storm lies under your feet
Get on your knees
And repent now
Swear on the cross
And implore me

I stand above the tides of time
And elemental strife
My figure stands above, sublime
Shadowing the Key of Life

Fear, passion, or man’s deadly wife
Desire the suicide !
