Np: Ulver - Wolf And Fear

Strangest guitar sound ever, but also one of the best. The little rhythm guitar that there is in this song is crushing, and the atmosphere works.
 
I can't help it but this song makes me want to dance. Kick ass "I hate America" lyrics too.

Out of the seven classic arts
Rhetoric rises to bust the charts
The master of agony invites you to the Forum
Louder than Romanum's decadent decorum
The bell booms GO! The centurion rhymes
Heroically racing for blood-hungry times
Close to the edge he resists their push
Pure strength saves him from the greedy rush
The race has a goal though very few know where
Mostly officers on the ground and satellites in the air
The star-spangled racers speed into house and home
Today the Americans try to recreate Rome


I guess this is my disillusioned, illusioned post of the night.

Oops: Solefald - The USA Don't Exist
 
i used to own every single dire straits album but i had no idea of this gem. And look at the lyrics. Teh merriness.


What it is

The drinking dens are spilling out
There’s staggering in the square
There’s lads and lasses falling about
And a crackling in the air
Down around the dungeon doors
The shelters in the queues
Everybody’s looking for
Somebody’s arms to fall into
And it’s what it is
It’s what it is now

There’s frost on the graves and the monuments
But the taverns are warm in town
People curse the government
And shovel hot food down
The lights are out in city hall
The castle and the keep
The moon shines down upon it all
The legless and asleep

And it’s cold on a tollgate
With the wagons creeping through
Cold on a tollgate
God knows what I could do with you
And it’s what it is
It’s what it is now

The garrison sleeps and the citadel
With the ghosts and the ancient stones
High on a parapet
A scottish piper stands alone
And high on the wind
The highland drums begin to roll
And something from the past just comes
And stares into my soul

And it’s cold on a tollgate
Where the caledonian blues
Cold on a tollgate
God knows what I could do with you
And it’s what it is
It’s what it is now
What it is
It’s what it is now

There’s a chink of light
There’s a burning wick
There’s a lantern in the tower
Wee willie winkie with a candlestick
Still writing songs in the wee wee hours
On charlotte street I take
A walking stick from my hotel
The ghost of dirty dick
Is still in search of little nell
And it’s what it is
It’s what it is now
Oh it’s what it is
What it is now


dire straits - what it is
