Pantera - Baudelaire

Let's all get some Baudelaire! It's been 10 years I can't really go around Nietzsche's ideas... Baudelaire is the incarnation of some of Nietzsche's ideas. The inversion of the (wrong) dichotomies between good and evil and between Apollonian and Dionysian are everywhere in Baudelaire's poems. This is just the start of his giant book:

Si le viol, le poison, le poignard, l'incendie,
N'ont pas encore brodé de leurs plaisants dessins
Le canevas banal de nos piteux destins,
C'est que notre âme, hélas! n'est pas assez hardie.

English translation (taken from wikipedia):
If rape and poison, dagger and burning,
Have still not embroidered their pleasant designs
On the banal canvas of our pitiable destinies,
It's because our souls, alas, are not bold enough!

This is a farewell to the most beautiful _non classic_ songs ever. Who said it has to be beautiful? What's beauty? Fuck off! Play it loud and bang your fucking head!
