Aesthetic Perfection - Gods & Gold ft. Richard Z. Kruspe (Official Video)

[@ClosetoHumanMusic]

Lyrics: There is a darkness, It breeds just hate and war, Our inner conflict, The seeds of vitriol, We’re clinging to castles that crumble and fall, We die for a cause that means nothing at all, Our soul is the whole of the law, (Is there no hope?) We wanna feel something, We wanna be free, We’re hanging ourselves on our family tree, Our blood it will run in the streets. Is there no hope? For all our woes? Will we outgrow? Our endless war? Of gods and gold? There is no justice, There is just rage and greed, To live with conscience, Is to live on your knees, They say that salvation’s the price that you pay, The blackness is spreading in light of the day, We’re heading to hell in a blaze, (Is there no hope?) We’re digging our ditches and dragging ‘em down, Loyally, Royally, Pray for the crown, Willfully, Skillfully tdaow!

Lord (Jesus Christ, the Son of God): My heart aches when the ones who I govern live in the midst of sin. They do not even know it is sin until the sins they commit pile higher and become a tall strong tower. But I will forgive everyone who breaks down their tower, becomes cleansed, and comes to me. Your pains are my pains. Your suffering becomes my suffering. Everyone who lives in the midst of sin, quickly repent and come back to me. My path is straight and my bosom is wide and deep. I have expressed all my love for mankind. Repent sincerely so that you will not go to Hell. kzbin.info/www/bejne/on2qdmiqitZoZrc

He comes from the dark, the light blinds most from seeing him. I say this metaphorically. Man created God and then said God created man. Man creates hell and the devil to hide true freedom in the darkness of fear. Man creates confession so man can "sin" without guilt. Basic Ideology 😊

[@frostedmelon4992]

I fudging love this song. Your voice blows me away. It's just the vocal abilities you have. Like a lover's whisper and an anger filled scream, a prayer and a curse in one. Just always loved it from the first time I heard an aesthetic perfection song. Enjoy the artistry you use too. Like you are a split person, I really think you could design a great horror film. With lots of kooky design pieces and you as the horror that lives in all of us. After all, how often have you mentioned we have a dark side within is.

Watching this over and over to look at ALL the art in this along with the way it makes me think and ponder and even have some "Aha!" moments of things within my own head/life. All of the videos made still amaze me how the meanings to me can shift as life progresses. They still resonate even in the years following and can transform into other ponderings and "Aha!" moments within all the different chapters of life. THAT's SKILL!!! MAN, Daniel, I STILL can't put into words how much all the work you put into your "NO DOUBT ABOUT IT" calling into this realm of music is otherworldly for me. It means SO much to me (I can only speak for myself considering everyone has their own ways of thinking/other life experiences), and I want you to ALWAYS remember how much not an ounce of your work has been done in vain. Also, MAJOR props to your wife for having been and still is so much into this work with you. You've both found a gem in each other which is refreshing as well!

[@sarahs413]

Copying and pasting my comment here from under your lyrics: I LOVE all the symbolism, the artistry, and then I read these lyrics and get chills because it is EXACTLY what I think and how I feel! Daniel, you continue to amaze me! Feels like you know what I feel and think! I was getting the vibe of these lyrics purely from watching the symbolism and artistic work you put into this, and then noticed that the lyrics were IDENTICAL to the vibe I was getting whether listening to it or merely watching the symbolism. Just .... WOW. Perfection is DEFINITELY a word that simply HAS to be a part of "Aesthetic Perfection." Glad you made it SO! You continue to blow my mind. AMAZING. The whole WORLD needs to see this, hear this, feel it, and NOTICE the symbolism without turning their heads. MAN, I wish albums came with the videos as a bonus for a special limited edition or something of that sort. Simply ... PERFECT.... (BTW, thank you for taking the time to interact with fans and for posting the lyrics -- I can tell you care about your fans for all the extra work you do.)
