ENSLAVEMENT OF BEAUTY LYRICS

1. A Kodak Kiss

[Instrumental]

2. I Treasure The Sadness

[Ole Alexander Myrholt]

She said pucker up and take it like a man
when the shit hits the fucking fan
caught in a public display
where all your sins are foully portrayed

Pucker up and take it like a man...

I see the demons gleam
in all my dreams
I feel the pain...

I take the highroad again...

If you take a long hard look at my soul
you will be so alarmed
and if I told you how I really feel
you would leave...
cause suddenly it's clear
I can only improve if you make me feel

I can only promise you that it won't be allright
pre pain and pro delight
and hindsight makes me sad
B.A.D. - yeah, bad...
all the grief that I've assembled herein
memories of past tense and previous sins..

...is pouring fuel into the fire of the heart of the soul
you are pouring fuel into the fire of the heart of the soul

I treasure the sadness;
the only friend in a world of foes
and I remain alone
reaching an all time low...

All the times I didn't, replaced by what I won't
all the nights "alone" and all the shit I don't
whenever there's a reason, whenever there's a cure
I know we'll grow apart, I've seen this shit happen several times before

I still loath the hypothesis of tomorrow
and I fear the comedies of the past
aiming for superficiality tonight
tediously entertained by a shallow cast

I remain alone...

3. Lush

[Ole Alexander Myrholt 2008]

I bestow you my vilest dreams
I awake on the verge of tears

Let's take the lords name in vain
let's take the highroad again

The heaven cracks and all my fears unite
the storm is approaching and Christ, I was right

Let's take the lords name in vain
let's take the highroad again

I felt her hands
fondling my flaws
I saw the eyes of the devil
when I dove into prose

I shrive...
I admit...
I confess...
I am still lost
bewildered by my own thoughts
slicing the muse
reflecting the confusion

I awake on the verge of tears
I will bestow you my vilest dreams

So let's take the lords name in vain
and let's take the highroad again

I feel your hands
fondling my flaws
I see the eyes of the devil
when I dive into prose with you

4. Severely Flawed

[Ole Alexander Myrholt 2008]

All good books have one thing in common
they tell you that these dreams are not just dreams
thus confirming the extent of our depression
and the sole intention...

All my dreams are truly wicked
if I cannot destroy it I have to defeat it
the high road obscured in the blink of an eye
as I pour myself another drink...

I've been chasing the dragon for such a long, long time...
I keep flirting with the devil, the primeval muse of all my rhymes

All my wicked deeds are but suppressed needs...
my vile endeavour is grace under pressure
I pour myself another drink
and close my eyes...

I've been chasing the dragon for such a long, long time...
I keep flirting with the devil, the primeval muse of all my rhymes
if you' chase the dragon with me, we'll be soaring through a fucking vacuum
we'll have a blast, we'll laugh and glow
it'll be a woo ho-ho with vast amounts of blow

5. Mirror Souls

[Ole Alexander Myrholt 2008]

I awake on the verge of tears
from horrid dreams feeding my fears
I awake from the taste of my tears
from horrid dreams feeding my fears

...the conclusion is that the track is lost for ever
and the twilight is severely severed...

Do you remember the rose I held in my hand
as we defiled virtue with a vile intent
we shared the cold night and a Kodak kiss
mirror souls, mirror bliss...

I descend...

6. I Descend To Perdition...

[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...
