An affinity for exuberance


A wounded soul leaps highest
I've heard the poet tell
'tis but the ecstasy of death
and then the breath is still
As I lay, defeated, I'm dying
longing to have you near
as I lay, defeated, I'm dying
longing to have you here
The smitten soul that gushes
the trampled heart that springs
a wearied ghost that keeps running
from where the torment stings

Mirth is the prelude to anguish,
and laughter is its final aim
lest some fucker spot the wicked
and do not fail to exclaim!
As I lay, defeated, I'm dying
longing to have you near
as I lay, defeated, I'm dying
longing to have you here
Success is counted sweetest
by those who never succeedto comprehend a fame like this
requires sorest need

Not one of all those fuckers
who rose the flag today
can even tell the definition of fame
so pure, of victory

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics AN AFFINITY FOR EXUBERANCE of ENSLAVEMENT OF BEAUTY is also present in the album Mere contemplations (2007)

Biografia

Enslavement of Beauty is a Norwegian symphonic black metal band formed in January 1995 by Ole Alexander Myrholt (vocals and lyrics) and Tony Eugene Tunheim (guitars and composing). Over the following years, the band composed and recorded material, developing their unique expression. In the summer of 1998, Enslavement of Beauty recorded the demo CD "Devilry and Temptation", which led to 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 band returned to the studio to record their second album, "Megalomania", joined by drummer Asgeir Mickelson (Borknagar/Spiral Architect) and bassist Hans-Aage Holmen. In 2007, the third album, "Mere Contemplations", was 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 takes a more direct approach but is still highly influenced by the poetic beauty of William Shakespeare and Marquis De Sade's works.
