about

This track reprises a part of what eventually became Wilhelmina V.
I recorded the solo with a Stratocaster-like guitar and wanted it to remind some old blues recording. Also, the final part is influenced by Metallica's early albums.

lyrics

“Odi et amo. Qvare id faciam, fortasse reqviris.
Nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrvcior” [Catullus 85]

This is what I am
Through darkness
Protean living curse
I've crossed oceans ov sorrow to find you
But you were only a will o' the wisp
How come your love's not mine to be?
You were pretending to be here for me!
Why did you have to escape?
Why did you have to escape?

Your words, a knife
My hope, my fall
We're both guilty
Ov following a pleasure so undivine
Wilhelmina, graceful butterfly
You'll fly joyful and untethered
I, lonely soul
Burn in my own anguish

Misled by a lie I needed
Everything near me discolours
My feelings, shattered
My pieces, scattered
My hopes, tattered
My mind, torn asunder
A swansong
For the death ov the nightingale within
Yet I wrote my last breaths
For nobody but you

IN GIRVM IMVS NOCTE ET CONSVMIMVR IGNI

I, lost and forlorn
I wish I could fly
But those very words from you
Clipped my wings
Love is all I ever wanted
I gave it all to reach your heart
But now, look at me
I wander here in cold and starvation
No more can human blood quench my thirst
To release myself from this pain
I die here to this cleansing dawn
