More from Apocalypse Orchestra:






The video is filmed at the locations of Enångers gamla kyrka and Trönö gamla kyrka. Both are medieval churches originally from the 1100s and 1200s, and got their present forms in the 1400s and 1500s. Both churches are curated by Statens fastighetsverk, the National Property Board of Sweden. They are often open to the public and are well worth a visit!

We would like to humbly thank Enånger-Njutångers församling for giving us the opportunity to film our music video there, with special thanks to Mariette Ädel Sköld, Lena Brisvåg, Ola Borin and Kerstin Olsson. We would also like to thank the SFV for keeping these old buildings alive and standing, and in good condition.

Director/editor/cinematographer/colourist: Magnus Ewald

Lyrics:

Pain and bitter strife
Hands deep in the soil
Sentenced to a life
In this mortal coil

Harrowing domain
Build it to His glory
Worshiping in vain
Throughout history

Seeking - Striving
Searching - For hope

Sights to see - So splendidly
Glass and sun - Becomes one
Choirs soar - To heaven and more
Endless strife, in this life

All of woman born
Mournful lullabies
Feeling naught but scorn
True divine despise

Seeking - Striving
Searching - For hope
Seeking - Striving
Searching - For hope

Sights to see - So splendidly
Glass and sun - Becomes one
Choirs soar - To heaven and more
Endless strife, in this life

Sights to see - So splendidly
Glass and sun - Becomes one
Choirs soar - To heaven and more
Endless strife, in this life

Sights to see - So splendidly
Glass and sun - Becomes one
Choirs soar - To heaven and more
One more breath, until death
