The Argument by: Ulver

These are the lyrics for the song "The Argument" by "Ulver".

In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy, drive your cart and
your plow over the bones of the dead, the road of excess leads to the

star. Eternity is in love with the productions of time. The busy bee has
no time for sorrow. The hours of folly are measur'd by the clock; but of

a trap. Bring out number, weight
