Army of Lovers - Sebastien

Copied!

From the day when he was born
Worlds apart his soul was torn
Killed though he could do no harm
Bless that heart Sebastien
Losing his virginity
Travel through infinity
Buried under astrakhans
Crucified Sebastien

Like sheep the dogs of stray
Monsignors on feet of clay
A meeting late at night
To escalate their fright
The stunning beauty of
A young monk with a glowing love
Kiss those virgin lips
A gift from high above

A serpent on a mission
The devil's passepartout
I hypnotize your vision
I throw my spell on you
Your physical appearance
Your life is in my hand
I crush your perseverance

A circle in the sand
I dwell in the experience
I tempt the sacred lamb
I tempt the sacred lamb
I eat the sacred lamb

From the day when he was born
Worlds apart his soul was torn
Killed though he could do no harm
Bless that heart Sebastien
Losing his virginity
Travel through infinity
Buried under astrakhans
Crucified Sebastien

The egos clash around
The cross to where the boy was bound
The chairman of the board
Strike the burning sword
The villains and the thieves
The body wrapped in golden leaves
Mashed his body down
The golden scent Sebastien

I tremble I'm euphoric
The stench of rotten fruit
The demons clap adore it
The abbots bathe in soot
The prince of fallen angels
I saw the grains of greed
An ancient Ronald Reagan
The vultures that I feed
I milk the naked pagans
I leave your heart to bleed
I leave your heart to bleed
And drink the virgin seed

From the day when he was born
Worlds apart his soul was torn
Killed though he could do no harm
Bless that heart Sebastien
Losing his virginity
Travel through infinity
Buried under astrakhans
Crucified Sebastien

A serpent on a mission
The devil's passepartout
I hypnotise your vision
I throw my spell on you
I'm in the top position
I tempt the sacred lamb
I tempt the sacred lamb
I eat the sacred lamb

From the day when he was born
Worlds apart his soul was torn
Killed though he could do no harm
Bless that heart Sebastien
Losing his virginity
Travel through infinity
Buried under astrakhans
Crucified Sebastien

Hosiannah hosiannah

From the day when he was born
Worlds apart his soul was torn
Killed though he could do no harm
Bless that heart Sebastien
Losing his virginity
Travel through infinity
Buried under astrakhans
Crucified Sebastien

edit bio

Army of Lovers is a Swedish dance-pop group that formed in 1987 and gained international success throughout the 1990s. The founding members of the band were Alexander Bard, Jean-Pierre Barda, and Camilla Henemark (also known as La Camilla). They had previously worked together in a band called Barbie.

Known for their outlandish visual appearance and high camp music videos, Army of Lovers became famous for their catchy dance-pop songs. One of their biggest hits was Crucified, which charted for 31 weeks in the Eurochart and peaked at number 14 in 1992. Another notable success was Obsession, which charted for 32 weeks and peaked at number 29.

The band’s name is a reference to the documentary film “Army of Lovers or Revolt of the Perverts” by German gay rights activist Rosa von Praunheim, which in turn alludes to the Sacred Band of Thebes.

Throughout their career, Army of Lovers had many top 10 hits on the Eurochart, with Crucified being one of the best-selling European singles of 1991. Their total album sales reached seven million copies worldwide.

Despite their success in Europe, Army of Lovers had limited presence in the United States and the United Kingdom, with their popularity mainly confined to club chart successes. However, Crucified did manage to reach the Top 40 in the UK Singles Chart in 1992.

The band experimented with various club sounds and samples on their first album, “Disco Extravaganza,” which was later re-issued as “Army of Lovers” in the US. They achieved greater commercial success with their album “Massive Luxury Overdose,” which included hits like Crucified, Ride the Bullet, and Obsession. The album sold 250,000 copies in Germany alone.

Army of Lovers released several more albums, including The Gods of Earth and Heaven and Glory, Glamour and Gold. They disbanded in 1996, but briefly reunited in 2001 to celebrate their 10th anniversary with the release of a best-of compilation called “Le Grand Docu-Soap.”

In 2012, the band reformed with Alexander Bard, Camilla Henemark, and Jean-Pierre Barda, and participated in the Melodifestivalen 2013 with the song Rockin' the Ride. However, internal conflicts led to lineup changes, with Dominika Peczynski replacing Camilla Henemark.

Army of Lovers continues to make live performances on special occasions, and they released a new best-of compilation called “Big Battle of Egos” in 2013. The band remains an iconic figure in the dance-pop genre, with their unique style and memorable hits.
