I drift into luciferous darkness
And kiss the blithesome aeons of quietude
A wounded cupid passes saddened by, dead in the winds eye
O, blood, blood, blood...
...I bath in the sea of vengeance
And conquer cupidity by making the leviathan bleed
I am the wraith in the woebegone guise... lost in the reverie
I mock mortality and as I open my eyes, Ah... I behold thee
The aeons of prophane immortality annihilates the mournful impact
I kiss the woebegone flesh goodbye in life's final act
Oh, exquisite star in the passionate darkness
I love thee... fair temptress
The lyrics BE THOU MY LETHE AND BLEEDING QUIETUS of ENSLAVEMENT OF BEAUTY is also present in the album Traces o' red (1999)
Enslavement of Beauty è una band norvegese di symphonic black metal formatasi a gennaio 1995 da Ole Alexander Myrholt (voce e testi) e Tony Eugene Tunheim (chitarre e composizione). Negli anni successivi, la band ha composto e registrato materiale, sviluppando il proprio stile. Nell'estate del 1998 hanno registrato il demo CD "Devilry and Temptation", che ha portato a un contratto con Head Not Found/Voices of Wonder. Questo ha portato alla pubblicazione nel 1999 di "Traces O' Red", accolto con grande favore dalla critica. Nel novembre 2000, la band è tornata in studio per registrare il secondo album, "Megalomania", con l'aggiunta del batterista Asgeir Mickelson (Borknagar/Spiral Architect) e del bassista Hans-Aage Holmen. Nel 2007 è stato pubblicato con successo il terzo album, "Mere Contemplations", con l'etichetta I.N.R.I. Unlimited. Musicalmente la band mantiene un suono melodico profondamente ispirato alla musica classica, ma con un tocco metal più acuto e un'attitudine rock 'n' roll senza compromessi. Lyrically Enslavement of Beauty adotta un approccio più diretto, pur rimanendo influenzata dalla bellezza poetica delle opere di William Shakespeare e Marquis De Sade.
