"Oh look at all the pathetic black-clad wannabe's running off to buy the new Shining album. Yeah. Within the framework of our scene, this shit's the latest thing! Something to take a stand for, right? Something new and oh so evil. I mean shit, what could possibly me more true than suicide, right? What you ignorant little fucks don't seem to be getting, though. What oh so very few of you seem to realize at all is that this is no fucking joke. Far to many of you haven't questioned yourself nearly enough to deserve to pretend to feel at home with this music. And honestly, most of you are even more degenerate and shallow than the commercial mainstream you pride yourself so for hating. Hate, you don't know what real hatred is! And consequently, horror is just a joke to you! In reality, humanity IS horror! Just think of all the putrid decadence and inner ugliness passed down genetically through all of us. We're all potential child rapists, flaming homosexuals, murderers, theives and any other egocentric dung you can think of. And as much as it might appeal to you to support all this, in essence or nature, its pathetic since you'd shit in your fucking panties if confronted with the real world out there. And what is with you fucking morons, dissing men like Eminem and Manson? What, is that jealousy just a defect of them bringing this shit to the masses without pretentions for style? I mean at least in their case the audience reflect the artist, right? Which is something that can't be said for Shining, now is it? So take a long, good look at yourself, because maybe Shining isn't really your thing. Maybe you should just turn on the radio and forget all about these obscure releases you have to buy in order to listen to. And maybe you should give the fuck up, understanding the perspectives of schizophreniacs and psychos making art just to destroy the minds of stupid little kids with too-big allowances. Shining's not into building an army! Shining's not a promise for the future! Shining's just the pain of being human, here and now! If you're into the whole organized misanthropy thing, I suggest you go for shit like Dimmu Borgir instead. Like me! Anyway, on behalf of Shining and Selbstmord Services, it's my honour to extend a general death wish to all of you fucking weaklings! Ah fuck you!"

Det är kallt här i dessa ödemarker
Vakumförpackade desperation, kallare lär det bli
Du påbörjade tomhänt, består med mindre än så
Säg mig vännen min: är du nöjd?
Så stirra nu ned i den becksvarta tomhet du kallar för framtid;
Låt dig se, låt det ske...
