Ulver - Plates 16-17 - Текст песни

The giants who formed this world into its sensual existence and now
 seem to live in it in chains, are in truth the causes of its life & the
 sources of all activity; but the chains are the cunning of weak and tame minds
 which have power to resist energy, according to the proverb, the weak in
 courage is strong in cunning. Thus one portion of beings is the prolific, the
 other the devouring: to the devourer it seems as if the producer was in his
 chains: but it is no so, he only takes portions of existence and fancies that
 the whole. But the prolific would cease to be prolific unless the devourer,
 as a sea received the excess of his delights. Some will say: 'Is not God
 alone the prolific?' I answer: 'God only acts & is, in existing beings or
 men'. These two classes of men are always upon earth, & they should be
 enemies: whoever tries to reconcile them seeks to destroy existence. Religion
 is an endeavour to reconcile the two. Note: Jesus Christ did not wish to
 unite, but to seperate them, as in the parable of sheep and goats! & He says:
 'I came not to send peace, but a sword.' Messiah or Satan or tempter was
 formerly thought to be one of the antediluvians who are our energies.
