LYRICS (ENGLISH)
Hatred on the horizon
Must be assumed for the ascension
Shatter the scepter
Lower the drawbridge
Drain the moat
Empty the catapult
Hatred on the horizon
Must be assumed for the ascension
Unlock the padlock
Swallow the key
For any prisoners there won’t be any need
Hatred on the horizon
Must be assumed for the ascension
Sit out and wait
Wait on the throne
For it to take
And for the beasts to come
Devils, devils and angels
I’m gonna give myself away
I’m gonna give myself away
Dispense with the niceties
Over Over to Neither
I’m gonna give myself away
I’m gonna give myself away
To the monstrosities
Hatred on the horizon
Must be assumed
For the ascension
I hear galloping
Scent of blood
Under the fire
Behind the flooding
Devils
Devils and angels
I’m gonna give myself away
I’m gonna give myself away
Dispense with the niceties
Over Over to Neither
I’m gonna give myself away
I’m gonna give myself away
To the monstrosities
Give Away
Give Away
Give Myself
Give Myself Away
Give Myself Away
Give Give myself away

Beautiful and powerful, love you, Rufus.

[@peisithanatos_]

Just watched his grammy performance. What a great song.

[@everdyaguilar4151]

I know

[@felps6072]

me too

[@jadie6692]

same 😭

[@MintyPur]

They removed it :(

[@edsoulsby]

Going To A Town was the journey, Hatred is the arrival

[@nomandyou]

One of the most underrated artists

[@HollyPavement]

Rufus is one of the great artists of our time ❤️

[@susanfay2213]

The GREATEST songwriter on the planet, according the great Elton John!!!

[@zacharymathey3901]

Yeah, this video is weird though. Epic song, however.

[@catalinabusla1151]

Rufus Is the greatest Artist of our times! Pure talent and beauty💕

[@mfrancecoolcool4803]

Musique envoûtante ! Quel génie ! J’adore !!!

[@laninaazul8091]

Rufus Wainwright's voice is as intricate as a "Picasso." Each piece is a paint stroke; Every variable change in pitch, tempo, & chord progression, welcomes different degrees of interpretation. No one listener has the same experience. An invisible tightrope behind the veil of darkness & light is where Rufus Wainwright dances. Among the twinkling lights & stardust..

[@kellygallagher7911]

Love this!!!!!

[@belensays]

Came here righr after watching a minute from the Grammys, what a nice song

[@iris8945]

Yesterday I was waiting for bts category and I listened his voice and I really loved this song . I'm really happy

[@claumouz]

He sang it at the Paramour session, two weeks ago. It's awesome! And Rufus' voice is better than ever!

[@dukeleopard]

Rufus remains too classy song writer for the masses

[@wesleyhempoli5548]

Heard this on cbs this morning and stopped what i was doing and went to the tv to see who was making such beautiful noise

[@jenlala1]

Exactly the same here. Had to stop what i was doing and listen. It’s one thing to capture an audience who came to hear you. It’s another altogether to capture those who weren’t even listening.

[@kimph8994]

I saw Rufus at the grammys while I was waiting to see if BTS won, but when I heard him I thought "shit this guy has a great voice" and asked on Twitter who he was, I'm glad I found him

[@someone384]

Lmaoo me too. I was waiting for bts and he was before them and I fell in love with this song

[@haleymarnette5654]

Same here, but I Googled the lyrics and found him that way. I've listened to this like 70 times since bc I love this song so much

[@kimph8994]

@@haleymarnette5654 yeah, i have this in loop too jaja

[@sofiacespinoza7951]

Same hereeee!

[@patmercer8591]

You asked on Twitter who he was? You haven't discovered search engines yet?

[@Thesidleysmusic]

How is possible to create music so melodic? This is so out of the box even for you and I love it! I’m going to drink some good Cab and listen to your entire album tonight! What a great gift to music! Rufus, you’re an absolute genius!

[@catalinabusla1151]

Artista insuperabile Rufus! È nell'Olimpo della musica internazionale! Inimitabile, IRRAGIUNGIBILE TALENTO! AMAZING

[@k1ra61]

I always play this song when I'm feeling overwhelmed or worried.

[@paolabueso]

Bravo!! What an incredible work of art! Thank you so much for sharing this. 🙌🙌🙌

[@TheDevilishDesires]

I absolutely love you visualizing the angelic part of LA, the quiet Beverly Hills....and the Devil's having taken hold of souls by showing a part of Tent City. I am absolutely in love with this record, but more so with this video.

[@misterscruffle]

one of the very best of our time. rufus has always been so authentic and never went mainstream. love him so much

[@seanpaulcurran]

[@synystersay10m35]

This is the first time I heard this song by Rufus Wainwright. He's fabulous and has such an amazing voice. I adore him, his sound is beautiful and wicked. I love it.

[@synystersay10m35]

@Rufus Wainwright you’re welcome, & thank you for Sharing your beautiful, Breathtaking , and incredible, voice with us all.

[@lisalonghi3360]

I'm shivering, another masterpiece! Bravo Rufus ❤

[@lyswantsmusic574]

What can I say, this song is amazing, musically and lyrically (is that a word?) and you outcamped yourself with this video Rufus, in a good way haha! I hope the Zaldy costume and the outrageous wig will travel along with you on tour and show themselves in a fantastic and wild finale in your live show!

[@notbillcipher]

can't get this song out of my head after the grammys

[@lnteIIigence]

I wasn't sure at first, but it grows on you. Those sorts of songs & videos tend to end up being my favorites somehow. Like a guilty pleasure.

[@StarryDiadem]

The best track on the new album. I've had it in my head for days now. Love it. Love Rufus.

[@Al_Morale]

POV your here from the grammy performance

Snatched for the Gods! Gagging on it, Rufus!

[@marisflowers]

[@bilbatsonbill3793]

Rufus, Rufus... I'm grateful that I lived in the States and i met your music. Wonderful! Greetings from Brazil!

[@dannymckay2679]

I heard this for the first time last night live at the Orpheum Theater in Boston. This song is absolutely beautiful

[@susannajanz427]

WOW! Love this! Rufus is a creative genius and a fantastic drama queen, an opera himself. Wow.

[@deljefferys3718]

I’ll be up in the middle of the night to watch👍👍👍👍

[@polin1674]

Here from the grammys

[@ameliemeliemelo9762]

Le clip et la photographie sont superbes! J’en ai les larmes aux yeux 👀

[@Thetonetemple.]

The director and direction of this video is really really a dichotomy of textures Rufus et Jorn.... Mwaah

[@soybett]

WOW! I loved🙏💜.

[@martinmirabito9865]

WONDROUS RUFUS. Stunning ! Midday Friday 10th here in Sydney. Omg YOU are BRILLIANT. Still shaking shaking from anticipation, excitement and the adrenalin rush. Brilliant xx

[@rabbitterrain]

I'll always be enjoying this piece forever in full fucking everything. Second by second soul wrenching masterpiece as I transparently must say I feel of all tracks everyday.

[@anti_fragile]

Sadly, I now associate this song with disappoinment and anger due to the Grammys, but this is a great song regardless

[@julianaortiz1350]

One listen it's already stuck in my head and I'm glad. Love your melodies ❤ cant wait to listen to your new album in its entirety.

[@kevinwhite1772]

Well where the hell have I been. I had never even heard of this brother until the Grammy performance. Then I spent several days catching up. I stand corrected. This man is the deal.

[@skystuhr3227]

My new favourite from the album! I'm getting opera meets disco vibes when the chorus comes in

[@corbeau2008]

J'adore cette artiste 🖤🖤

[@thefabulousthomasj]

I love it!!! Thank you, Rufus!!!

[@alexandraschafer3843]

WOW. Your album in the mail today made me happy. This video and song is awesome.

[@susanfay2213]

This will be amazing! And is of course quite apropos as we all are feeling the terrible polarity and divisiveness in our country to the NINES lately! (If that is what the devils and angels is referring to. We shall see....and hear! Soon!)

[@ErnestoNodal]

EPIC SONG and VIDEO ! 👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿👏🏼👏🏻👏!

[@miroslavignjatovic5199]

[@eadgythamharach300]

Love Rufus and Love this song.... ❤️

[@blenderofzombie130]

I absolutely Love this song!!! Beautiful

[@geek_1q919]

You did your music-miracle once again Rufus! Greetings from Greece ❤️

[@EverAppl14]

The gods were really trying to prove something when they delivered Rufus Wainwright to Earth. There are songs of his that I've been listening to for 20 years, and still they're utterly absorbing and transcendent. They change everything and remind me of things I can't describe, but which I need to remember in order to really keep living instead of just falling into the empty motions of routines.

[@danusiaalves2722]

Rufus, can’t tell how happy i was seeing and hearing you with a new pop album. ❤️ the paramore concert still sits with me, it was brilliant.

[@nathanielyarbrough7751]

Marvelous performance

[@jasonflay8818]

This would be an awesome theme song for a new Bond film

[@catalinabusla1151]

Amazing Rufus! I'm counting hours, minutes..

[@susanfay2213]

Love the last chord!

[@thestepfordlife2015]

This song resonates. It's so goddamn beautiful. This is pure art. This is next level music.

[@ameliamorrey8416]

Rufus has single-handedly got me through this pandemic and I don't say that lightly

[@josee172]

Magnifique album !
