Odes Of Ecstasy

“And I listen to the war symphony,
My last ode of ecstasy.
The orchestra plays dark melodies
As I fall in endless sleep.”

_{[ War Symphony (Act III) – Odes Of Ecstasy ]}


I wanted to connect this photo with that song for three main reasons: my expression was intended to be somehow estatic; I’m lying on a tomb, and this makes a connection with the verses; on the background there is the Angel of Grief, which appears on the cover of Embossed Dream In Four Acts, their first album.
