Erik!

Brothers fall, day by day.
DEAD was first "and all others followed".
But now, another warrior has gone
into the raven realm of darkness.

Erik, did you found what you lost:
your own god?
Erik, did you make your own realm
and your own peace?
Erik, was it time, was it time Erik to die?
I could hear the demons cry
upon the place where the demons fly...

And when I hallucinate the older days I hear You.
And when I hallucinate the older times I see You.
And when I will go on, I will keep you in my Mind.
You will be forever in and forever around my Heart.

Erik, May you rape the angels!
Erik, May you be your own tragedy!
Erik, May you rape the angels!
Erik, May you be your own tragedy!
Erik, May you rape the angels!
Erik, May you be your own tragedy!
Erik, May you rape the angels!
Erik, May you be your own tragedy!

Erik,
May I die to get up so high
to be with you where the demons fly.
To walk the shadows,
to walk the night,
to run the hills with a Slipnier ride.
I have never seen the lonely stars shine so bright,
since you has died.
And if you hear my cry run spheres,
you know you will be in my heart.

    The song was written by Kanwulf as a memorial to Erik (aka Grim), former drummer of Gorgoroth, Immortal, and Borknagar. Erik committed suicide of a drug overdose.

    The quote at the end is an audioclip from an Immortal concert.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
