Wir sind Gætter (We are gods)
Gott ist der Mensch (god is man)
Sein ist die Hand die schaft (his is the hand that makes)
Sein ist die Hand die verletzt (his is the hand that wounds)
Gætterd¤mmerung!
We are gods, God is man
His is the hand that makes, his is the hand that wounds!
As I behold your crucified lord
It is pity I feel not a sign of purification
And yet it are millions taught by his word
Die Gætterd¤mmerung ist hier!
(the twilight has come)
Die Gætterd¤mmerung ist hier!
A universal message of love
Lessons for the world to be clear
But I sense megalomania in his word
Dogmatic, based on fear
Die Gætterd¤mmerung ist hier!
Die Gætterd¤mmerung ist hier!
Like the word taught in that other book
By some other prophet born in the East
Screaming 'jihad!!' Lifes they took
On the non believers corpses they feast
Not that Jahweh offered the other cheek
As he so firmly told his followers to do
Too many sacrifices in His name
Far too many lies not to look through
And here I stand alone in the night
No god or master above me
Do I suffer from this lack of divinity
Faith, my dear friend, can be splendid indeed
A force to hold on when the feeble soul bleeds
Religion served to the masses
Might be a dangerous seed
Forced down your throat
The last thing a free man needs
I walk a lonely path
Am I so blind to see?
At least I can say my soul is free
And my only god is me...
We are gods, God is man
His is the hand that makes, his is the hand that wounds!
We are gods, God is man
His is the hand that makes, his is the hand that wounds!

Ancient Rites è una band belga di black metal (inizialmente) e folk metal (recentemente) formatasi nel 1988. La formazione iniziale comprendeva i chitarristi Johan e Phillip, il batterista Stefan e Gunther Theys al basso e alla voce. Nel 1990 venne pubblicato il demo *Dark Ritual* nell'underground, ottenendo attenzione mondiale proprio mentre il black metal stava guadagnando importanza nella scena metal. Poco dopo la pubblicazione del demo, Phillip morì in un incidente d'auto e poco dopo Stefan si suicidò. Nonostante questo doloroso episodio per la band, decisero di continuare e al posto di Stefan venne assunto Walter Van Cortenberg, suo roadie. Ancient Rites ha pubblicato numerosi album, tra cui *The Darkest Hour* (1994), *Blood of the Ancients* (1996) e *The Serpent's Embrace* (2003). Il loro stile musicale è caratterizzato da sonorità dark e atmosferiche, con influenze folk e melodiche. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si possono citare *Dark Ritual*, *Blood of the Ancients* e *The Serpent's Embrace*.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
