    “There are four gates to one palace; the floor of that palace is of silver and gold; lapis lazuli & jasper are there; and all rare scents; jasmine & rose, and the emblems of death. Let him enter in turn or at once the four gates; let him stand on the floor of the palace. Will he not sink? Amn. Ho! warrior, if thy servant sink? But there are means and means. Be goodly therefore: dress ye all in fine apparel; eat rich foods and drink sweet wines and wines that foam!” Liber AL I:51 (excerpt)

    Catchy tune.keyboards well thought out in composition.I always interpreted this song as playing around with perfume “names”. Maybe i’m wrong.

    I’m not a darkwave fan at all, but this song is fucking GREAT. Catchy beat and cool vocals.

    Rose = Love/Lust
    Jasmine=Death

    Song about ‘La Petite Mort’ the Ecstatic Moment in Love-Making in Goth parlance as it were…

    This is 100% Gothic. sort of a Sister’s of Mercy/ Bauhaus sound.

    Wikipedia:Clan of Xymox are a darkwave/gothic rock band. Their debut album was released by 4AD in 1985, and drew comparisons to Joy Division and The Cure. The Cure and Joy Division are Gothic. 1985 is pre-darkwave.
