(No! this face is only a mask, a wicked ornament,
illuminated by an exquisite grimace,
Look and see, atrociously contorted,
The real head, and the sincere face
Turned back under the shadow of the face which lies
Charles Baudelaire)
He is profanity in sanctity's guise
An alias assumed I do realize
In their eyes, his cause -
when enticing and cunning in impact
is still a criminal and evil act
So look for him vainly,
He, the incarnation of magickal nature
He turns unrecognizable even to the experienced eye
You obsessively pursue him
Failing to see, hat was why he came to be
one who annihilates with such impunity
He appears your friend, but
the Saint hides many Satans
He's contemptuous, you know
of your Godgiven stupidities
He calls you in question with
affected modesty and create
of you an object of derision
You think him to be pariah
whom company does exclude
But in the midst of all frenzy
He is - feasting in a transitory mood
Passion is a strict lord
He is also its humble slave
When bereft of common ways,
He strides before you on water
He makes clowns of kings,
charm the guests, rides the ball
Is the master of disguise
Prince of the thousandfold face
the charming jester's smile
which invites reason to demise
and imaginations rise
Inscrutable yes, venting his spleen
Somewhere night and day between
Is the master of disguise
The lyrics PAINTING MY HORROR of ARCTURUS is also present in the album La masquerade infernale (1997)
Arcturus è una band norvegese di metal avant-garde, attiva dal 1990. Considerati pionieri del genere, hanno combinato elementi di black metal, progressive rock e musica classica in un sound sperimentale e complesso. Il loro stile musicale è caratterizzato da atmosfere dark e sinfoniche, con influenze barocche e jazzistiche. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano "The Arcturian Legacy", "Winters Bane" e "My Angel's Tears". L'album "Sideshow Symphonies" (1997) è considerato un capolavoro del genere, mentre il loro ultimo lavoro in studio, "Arcturia" (2017), ha consolidato la loro posizione di band influente nel panorama metal internazionale.
