Aurelio Voltaire - The Conqueror Worm (OFFICIAL) with LYRICS

[@hesitantbullets6507]

I didn't realize this song was originally a poem and I found it in my Edgar Allan Poe book and was wondering why I could only sing it in my head instead of read...

[@gerardoromo2637]

hola papu q hace no entiende o q Hace

[@nerdyintrovert821]

That makes perfect sense dude...I thought I recognized it from somewhere! Thanks for pointing it out.

[@drchicken2477]

Same.

[@3Papadakis]

I didn't realize this poem has turned into a song, and by Voltaire too. I am amazed.

[@sara_polverini]

I can't help but sing it whenever I read it again and again!

[@WillcraftAnimations]

I recently started reading Edgar Allan Poe, and I salute you for delivering this poem in the best way possible!

[@JackSutterEtc]

There are two "best way possible" deliveries. Check the Vincent Price narration of the poem. With the music backdrop. Totally different. Same level of "best" delivery though.

[@KitsuneHime69]

I am speechless.....the words of Poe and the music of Voltaire........beautiful. The second I saw the title on Soundcloud.....I immediately thought of Poe's work...... This final product is simply beautiful.......

[@michaelranous3546]

I truly feel, that if the great Mr. Poe himself heard this song, that by the end of the song he would be too drunk to know what’s going on, so you’ve achieved approval by default. I love it though!

[@EverettJCreps]

I love Edgar A. Poe, and The Conqueror Worm is my mothers favorite poem of his. The meter and tempo on this song are exemplary!

[@Virginny]

Tempo! Thats the word I was thinking of! I kept saying pacing..thank you for the unintentional help 6 years later.

[@DeeMolition]

Extra kudos, mi amigo, for singing "hither and thither." I can't even say those words without embarrassing myself. I might actually be able to memorize the poem now because of your wonderful orchestration of it.

[@thibaultdechavanne9474]

After so many years, your voice, Sir, still gives me goosebumps.

[@sethharris813]

Holy shit! This is my favorite Poe and I just discovered the song. Well done, Aurelio.

[@lectordreadwood9255]

this was brilliant the Conqueror Worm is my favorite Poe poem and this musical rendition of it was breathtaking

[@fish3977]

I would love to see this performed live with full orchestra.

[@glowworm2]

Who knew that a poem by Edgar Allen Poe could translate so beautifully into a song by Voltaire. This is absolutely stunning.

[@sinerealitas]

beautiful poem by Poe, beautifully adapted into music by Voltaire. Nice job.

[@decromcquin273]

This is my favorite Poe works, now it's one of my favorite Voltaire works :)

[@connormason9266]

Hi Quin

[@decromcquin273]

Connor Mason Hullo, long time no see :)

[@adamhaggstrom7598]

Can't believe it's already been 10 years since Raised bt Bats came out; one of my favorite albums, and this track in particular. Makes me wish other artists would take a stab at arranging great poetry into dong form.

[@robertoadder142]

So, he's singing a great song with the lyrics of a great poem?he never ceases to amaze me

[@DeathPoke1qa]

EDGAR ALLAN POE!!! YES!

[@tannerprice8430]

This is poetically strange in the best possible way.

[@Aidyn3000]

"The Conqueror Worm" is one of my favorite Edgar Allan Poe poems, and Voltaire is one of my favorite musical artists, so hearing this song is so fucking cool for me! Great job Voltaire!

[@tristanshepperd7083]

I am so happy this exists, this is my favorite poem by far, little strange pirate jaunty feel though haha

[@Radnugget]

This is intresting how it works so well as a song.

[@thesnuggler9606]

This is the most beautiful poem ever written about literal death and decay.

[@Chris_With_An_L]

I remember back when this album came out and I listened to this song nearly daily. It ended up getting me a 91% on a poem recital assignment.

[@theblasblas]

Is the missing 9% because you started singing it instead of reciting halfway through? XD

[@Madsematisk]

this legit gave me shivers

[@OgieSifter]

Having a poe and dune kinda morning so this is perfect

[@WarBandit111]

Good song. You and thine peeps do good work, Voltaire.

[@IAmTheAlmightyLarry]

Oh god you used the poem as a song.... my ears are in heaven. I love poe and you

[@samcyphers2902]

an excellent rendition of my favorite Edgar Allen Poe poem! Well done!!!!

[@XxtheskullcandyxX]

Gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it.

[@MechaGloomyBear]

Thrilled to death that you decided to make one of my favorite poems into a song. Great work, and I personally thank you for accomplishing something this cool. :-)

[@AshenOniCreations]

When I see the title of this song it reminds me of your song Graveyard picnic that one was one of my faves by far.

[@ursulah.7457]

"Graveyard Picnic" actually references in its lyrics "Conqueror Worm," that might be why.

[@DrakusDukeHoovleyhybrid]

This is a damn good song with the mixture of the poems if Edgar Allen Poe and the music of Voltaire.

[@apteropith]

HOW HAVE I NOT BOUGHT THIS YET? I'VE KNOWN ABOUT IT FOR 4 YEARS. HOW HAVE I NOT BOUGHT THIS YET? I'M BUYING THIS.

[@apteropith]

i've bought this

[@shillinhite3911]

One of my favorite poems!

[@akumaykayuce4862]

How did I not know this existed?!?!?!? I love this poem and Voltaire

[@noxxboxx]

listen to this at 1 am and it fits perfect

[@sapphiredragonia]

Oh God ....divine

[@darktwistedwitch]

Lol I just found out this was Edgar Allen Poe, great job Voltaire!

[@soapyboatman9409]

this is really helping me memorize this poem!!! thank you!!!

[@DBZ17AT]

This is Amazing, I thought Voltaire stopped making music. Then I found this...Thank you Voltaire you made my day.

[@fleshhunter8703]

Voltaire doesn't stop he just takes time

[@harrisonvalentine3034]

+Zachary Saew you can't rush perfection now can you?

[@KraftyKecleon]

Something tells me imma get addicted to this song

[@littlepix101]

I love this song so much. I know it's EAP (does anyone use this acronym? I'm feeling lazy today), but this version- the music the vocals- really really amazing. I applaud you.

[@HeartOfTheBereaved]

Hey, we have a song with the same name, based off the same poem. I'm just glad the music is much different.

[@IGSA101]

My only criticism of this is that at exactly 3:50 the aspect ratio of the album cover changes by mere pixels, and I can't understand why, aside from that this is one of my favorite songs of yours and the best of your covers in my opinion.

[@shippaianbu6859]

This settles it I love this whole album Gonna buy it the first chance I get

[@carbonbasedlifeform8394]

i love this song

[@brenddelioncourt1752]

No conocía esta canción, de lo que me he perdido! Usted ha divido mi amor...... The conqueror worm- Sopor Aeternus VS The conqueror worm- Voltaire !!! Preciosa tu canción!!!! Creo que es mi nueva favorita.

[@ChrissieBear]

I love it.

[@Blisswoven]

I can't help but visualize Chi Chian when I hear this.

[@SoulOfTheReaver]

Damn... now i wanna hear Voltaire singing this as a duet with Anna Varney/Sopor Aeternus

[@nope8827]

YES YES YEEEEEEEEES

[@ShayMcSudonim]

This is my childhood! ^_^

[@nope8827]

*Edgar Allan Poe's ghost wants to know your location*

[@lavendercatsstout7023]

💗💗💗

[@musicalmarzi6272]

I never looked at the description i feel foolish because I didn't know it was the same poem from Edgar Allan Poe

[@gabobluemoon]

es... hermosa...

[@ReinaRoyal]

saw this and a reference lyric in Graveyard Picnic and thought maybe its a sort of musician specific mythos ala Gwar, so I looked it up. Nope just EA Poe.

[@Calaverna]

WELL, this is good!

[@Elfos64]

There's a Hellboy Comic called Conqueror Worm too, apparently it originated as an Edgar Allen Poe poem?

[@MattHolck]

i keep reversing the wield and the wurm the weird = the way though it see it as conflict and the wurm as the eater

[@goodmorninghinata-kun3322]

looks in description "lyrics by Edgar Allen Poe" me:oh so that's why I can't understand fuck all of what he's saying

[@goodmorninghinata-kun3322]

so in literal terms not at all interpreting what he's saying a play was going on then a giant worm came and killed a ton of people

[@rezorteclipez4517]

+Dreamer511 I saw it! it was big, it was all wiggly and it ate everything! IT WAS AN ALASKAN BULL WORM!

[@goodmorninghinata-kun3322]

+RezorT Eclipez Why don't we take the stage and PUSH it somewhere else?

[@wanderingursa8184]

+RezorT Eclipez Nah, was a en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongolian_death_worm

[@ReplicatorFifth]

+Dreamer511 this isn't Shakespeare... o,o

[@8loodyrain]

Nice

[@eeckelshex1183]

I want to see this play

[@phlip82]

Happy Halloween of 2020

[@CrayfishYAY]

The title of the song reminds me of the Alaskan Bull Worm.

[@aligorzeimet4029]

This song was made from a poem by Edgar Allen Poe.

[@thebigsad7455]

[@BurningInquiry]

It’s Heidi Klum time!

[@wickedAberration]

[@wholesomeperson1367]

[@nfadaloo]

Artix Entertainment works with Voltaire a lot.

[@georgemouse504]

+Nick Fadala Both are also regulars at DragonCon, so it's no surprise

[@panqueque3441]

Where is captains all?

[@panqueque3441]

Aurelio Voltaire i wait the answer for the real voltaire(i not speak english)

[@JellyMyst]

Your question's a little unclear, but the lyrics are in the description.

[@panqueque3441]

Mrluigifan102 captains all is another song from this album

[@JellyMyst]

Valentin Lizana Oh, that makes more sense. In that case, it seems he uploaded it about 7 hours ago, but you probably knew that already.
