Gnosis — текст песни (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
