E Nomine - Das Tier In Mir (Wolfen)

E Nomine is one of those bands that likes to be so epic that sometimes it's hard to tell if they're awesomely dark, powerful, and beautiful, or too over the top to the point that it's corny. I tend to favor the first view, because I absolutely love their fusion of EBM, lyrics spoken by famous German voice actors, and gorgeous choirs and soloists singing in Latin. I think my favorite video of theirs is Mitternacht, but embedding was disabled for that one. So... here's another video, with an amazing boy soprano soloist.





Lyrics Translation:

In the ancient moonlit woods
Is my dwelling.
It is in the lighted woods
Under the Stars.

It is the animal in me
that awakens my greed for you
I would gladly devour you
can you sense my desire?

Dark clouds and dark thoughts
The night of the full moon breaks my barriers
Greed builds up within me for animals
That I massacre
I feel a lust for blood here and now…
Deep in the night of the twinkling stars
A sweet smell pulls me into the distance
When I have completely seen the night
My desire is kindled and the hunter in me awakens..

In the ancient moonlit woods
Is my dwelling.
It is in the lighted woods
Under the Stars.

It is the animal in me
that awakens my greed for you
I would gladly devour you
can you sense my desire?

Strange thoughts, wild lust
The desire for the tender breast meat
I want to tear, I want to bite and shred withered flesh
I hunt my prey with lustful agitation
Glowing red eyes follow your trail
The weather leads me across far halls
I mutate into an animal, I am a creature of the night
I am the hunter of the moon until the morning awakens

In the ancient moonlit woods
Is my dwelling.
It is in the lighted woods
Under the Stars.
Under the Stars.

I am the animal
I am the animal
