Salem Songtext
von Genus Ordinis Dei

I came as pain dressed with shadows
The most beautiful nightmare
A charming monster, a honey-tasting curse, embrace my name

Brother, take me!
Hold my hand and
Guide me through death
We are creatures of pure energy (we are)
Dance in flowers, rest in trees
We are precious parts of everything
Ever living entities
We are fragments of eternity (we are)
We built forests we built seas
We erase grey from deadly battlefields
And paint green living hills

Burn their faces with your glare and fade in shadows

Follow me! I′ve been embraced with chains and kissed with stones
Trust in me! I've been caressed with razors and fed with poison

Stars, hide your fires!
Let not light see my black and deep desires


Sister, breach in! take my hand and follow my name
Brother, take me! hold my hand and guide me through death

We are creatures of pure energy (we are)
Dance in flowers, rest in trees
We are precious parts of everything
Ever living entities
We are fragments of eternity (we are)
We built forests we built seas
We erase grey from deadly battlefields
And paint green living hills
Life′s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more.
It is a tale Told by an idiot
Full of sound and fury signifying nothing

Where shall we three meet again?
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?
Upon the heat!


We are creatures of pure energy (we are)
Dance in flowers, rest in trees
We are precious parts of everything
Ever living entities
We are fragments of eternity (we are)
We built forests we built seas
We erase grey from deadly battlefields
And paint green living hills
