The Serpentine Offering - Dimmu Borgir


My descent is the story of everyman
I am hatred, darkness and despair
My descent is the story of everyman
I am hatred, darkness and despair

Ah!

Evoked and entertained through all the centuries
Wrathful and sullen -- Dormant still
The ferocity pervades everywhere
Waiting to be released at last

Hear my offering
Upon your sons and daughters
Share my sacrifice
share my sacrifice

My descent is the story of everyman
I am hatred, darkness and despair
My descent is the story of everyman
I am hatred, darkness and despair

Reconcile not with the fear of the snake
But embrace it as your own
Inject it's venom into your veins
And replant the seed that gives growth
Still shrouded in mystery
Until you arise above perception
A veil of ignorance is in motion
Continuing troughout generations

A veil of ignorance is in motion
Continuing throughout multiple generations
Let me be the one that deliver you from the deceit
And back into perfect accordance with the laws of nature

The snake is notoriously tempting
But the snake is fair
What is worse than not knowing?
To live or disappear?

The ferocity pervades everywhere
Waiting to be released at last

Hear my offering
Upon Your sons and daughters
Share my sacrifice
Share my sacrifice

One System for All?


Malay to be standardised and screw the other languages?
Maintain other languages as they are part of the education system and recognised even in law.

Mukhriz oh Mukhriz, when will you ever learn to change the ketuanan Melayu?

When someone
in power like Mukhriz makes these sort of statements:

"I am suggesting that we look into the best way of instilling unity among the races at a young age and that would be in schools,"

How is it he can come out with ideas to ban vernacular schools because they are like the main cause of racial polarisation? Hmm...Have vernacular schools really caused racial polarisations?

As far as memory serves me, I have friends from vernacular schools who doesn't bother whether you're Chinese, Indian, Malay, Punjabi or Lain-lain. That accusation is totally baseless.

Firstly, you all know that schools are the place where our children learn their dictionary of bad words right?

Secondly, schools are the biggest breeding pods for racism. This is thanks to certain narrow-minded people who govern the schools. Make baseless remarks like how an Indian dude darkens the sunny day.

Thirdly, if none of you have questioned why is it that Kebangsaan Schools have their daily morning assembly Muslim Prayer, it's about high time now. Why do all the non-Muslim have to stomach their morning prayers and why don't they do it for the races? Is it because we are too small a fragment to be given any attention to?


Based on the three causes above, can I safely say that racial polarisation originates from Kebangsaan Schools?

So Mukhriz, please at least do some research before you spit out something and then fumble and say that "I said the system should be one. I don't think the issue of closing schools arises. This is the last thing I want."

Yeah right.

On to the issue of enhancing unity, Mukhriz, you have to remember that we're all living in a multi-racial country. We're not fully 100% united but we are somewhat there, at a level where we are united. United in peace. United in thoughts that won't cause unnecessary harm to others. If we weren't united, then everyday will be May 13th. Surely nobody would want that right? But then it would fun because we won't see uniformity and monotony.

Unity is defined as absence of diversity; unvaried or uniform character.

Absence of DIVERSITY. Now that is a major word. Malaysia is diverse. Our sea collections are diverse. Our food palate is diverse.

When Mukhriz talks about unity, we have to ask "Which unity is he talking about?"

I have dreaded feeling that it is about Ketuanan Melayu but let's keep that under wraps for the time being.

I know many of us know this but let me emphasise it again.

"Politicians aren't the brightest, they just claim to be bright."
