A Song Of Liberty

Текст песни ULVER - A Song Of Liberty <br/> (plates 25-27)[1.] The eternal female groan&#039;d! It was heard all over the earth.[2.] Albion&#039;s coast is sick silent; the American meadows faint![3.] Shadows of prophecy shiver along by the lakes and the riversand mutter across the ocean: France, rend down thy dungeon;[4.] Golden Spain burst the barriers of old Rome;[5.] Cast thy keys, O Rome, into the deep falling, even to eternity down falling,[6.] And weep [and bow thy reverend locks.]( )<br />[7.] In her trembling hands she took the new born terror, howling;[8.] On those infinite mountains of light, now barr&#039;d out by the Atlantic sea,the new born fire stood before the starry king![9.] Flag&#039;d with grey brow&#039;d snows and thunderous visages, the jealous wings wav&#039;d over the deep.[10.] The speary hand burned aloft, unbuckled was the shield;forth went the hand of jealousy among the flaming hair,and hurl&#039;d the new born wonder thro&#039; the starry night.[11.] The fire, the fire is falling![12.] Look up!

Buried in the ruins, on Urthona&#039;s dens;[17.] All night beneath the ruins, then, their sullen flames faded,emerge round the gloomy king.[18.] With thunder and fire, leading his starry hosts thro&#039; the wastewilderness, he promulgates his ten commands, glancing his beamy eyelids
