Gnosis Lyrics - Ulver

Science - The new aristocracy 

Progress - The world is on the march 

Why shouldn't it turn too? 

It's the vision of numbers. 

We are moving towards the Spirit. 

Certainly deserted: It's the voice of the oracle, what I say. 

Understand, and not knowing how to express myself without using hidden words. 

I prefer to remain silent 

[original excerpt from Arthur Rimbaud's "Bad Blood"] 

Science! The new nobility! Progress. The world progresses! 

Why shouldn't it turn as well? 

It's the vision of numbers. We advance towards the Spirit. 

It's quite certain: it's oracular, what I say. 

I know, and unaware how to express myself without pagan words, I'd rather be mute
