Angelus Novus Lyrics - Ulver

An army charges upon the land 

To the sound of retreat 

This is bigger than us 

A stronger wind is blowing 

Blowing from Paradise 

Into the world to come 

Progress is its name 

Death nods his head 

First the dead 

Then the living 

Call their names 

Like a legion 

Their steps are retreating 

Out of the earth and the sea 

Back to the beginning of time 

An endless beach 

Where a table has been set for one 

With salt and water 

Lay down the kid 

And turn around and leave
