Aim Not at the Kingdom High |
| Bounds of the kingdom divine |
| From the horizons of God |
| The angel beholds our world in flames |
| And the crowds who rejoice |
| In both pleasure and pain |
| Her heart is filled with tears |
| Heavy as wings of the raven dark |
| For her father the lord forbade her |
| To taste the apple |
| That fell to the ground |
| For all the pleasures of heaven are shallow |
| Though eternal |
| I would trade this for a day |
| Among the mortals |
| For just a day |
| I would sacrifice all that was given to me |
| My whitest wings, my faith |
| And my virginity, so take my soul |
| Blacken my wings and let the gates |
| Of light be forever closed |
| Mortals — Open your arms |
| And greet me with what never was |
| Given to me |
| Initiate me into all that was |
| Hidden from me |
| My hunger is insatiable, my wish for fire |
| Is deeper than the skies |
| And like the fallen angels we will ruin |
| All that is trying to hold us back |
| Virgin maidens are to be engaged |
| In the obligations to those of the damned |
| And the angel prayed |
| To ascend in our world |
| As she was given to the flames |
| For we are not the children of God |
| And we aim not at the kingdom high |
| All that is divine is to be dead |
| And all that ever was in decline |
| For shallow are the pleasures of God |
| And I aim not at the kingdom high |
| «So give me pain |
| Teach me to know myself again |
| For self-denial is the norm |
| On which all my thoughts |
| And identity was formed |
| So show me pain |
| Fulfill all my dreams |
| That have been veiled in vain |
| For my blood and my veins are of sin |
| And my soul has been sold so show me pain» |
