[Music: O. Brrud/J.R. Mjlland/D. Husvik/C. Espevoll, Lyrics: C. Espevoll] The worship of creation Seeming endless But it will end And every knee shall bow Thoughts of a coincidental existence And a futureless world corrodes into the Spinal chord of the narcissistic man A paradigm shift for worse My ego is my god Given authority by the enlightenment Of science, The enlightenment of the age of freedom Freedom - the name in which we legalize all The name in which we tolerate all Credibility for truth, image for substance Weakness and failure
- unbearable elements in life Subtly opposed through an endless flow of Constantly replaced trends, neither allowed To mature nor to fade The surroundings, A mirror reflecting the signals Of admiration that makes my identity A constant egocentricity providing a Purging of anything threatening popularity The peak of this shallowness Displayed by the so-called stars In their quest for self-actualisation This beautiful people experiencing The illusion of narcissistic prosperity, Uncritically and boundlessly admired, Simply for their own sake
