For everything around me which I experience is cold and dead
The blood of others are of a colder substance and taste
Therefore I must spill and serve, The blood that in me runs vibrant
In the frost of the dying minds, Of western society I recreate

It will be the resurrection, Of the brotherhood of holy death
In the year of the holy roman empire, Of night times to come and last
The day of which I shall, Lay my sword upon your throats
Upon the mighty warriors, Of the land of northern regions

Upon the shores of our desolate coast within the waves
I can see the wreckage floating ashore of the dying culture
And so I greet those who still have eyes to observe and see
And who still have courage to break through into the dying light

You have experienced the river of blood
Which here flowed day by day
Against our sworn enemies
I came not to send peace, but a sword

And...have made WAR

Alma Matters
Morrissey
The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support. "Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
