I'm nursing my perturbation with Obama's decision to block release of the torture photos with this Dimmu Borgir offering:
http://www.dimmu-borgir.com/video/sorgens-kammer-del-II.mpgEnglish translation (for those who don't speak Norwegian):
The echoes of silence sets the hour
Gagged in the chains of depression, I fall away
No more I will be bolted fast in the anchor of melancholy
But finally get my longing fulfilled - for leaving
Did I drink too much from the goblet of optimism?
Did I take the vanity of joy for granted?
For my battle against the pain of emptiness - this intoxication of the angst of death
Is all that remains that is mine
In my loneliness I still know
That I have none but myself to thank
This is why I keep my calm
As the rope tightens around my neck(Verse repeats)
Mute witnesses can not give comfort
The common man in the assembly of the gravechoir
This land of perdition
I created by my own hands
This intense attraction to the portals of death
A wandering study of tearful black mass
Controlled since the dawning of time
But something I never would let go - was the sorrow
In my loneliness I still know
That I have none but myself to thank
This is why I keep my calm
As the rope tightens around my neck
