Dead Can Dance - How Fortunate The Man With None Lyrics
You saw sagacious Solomon
You know what came of him
To him complexities seemed plain
He cursed the hour that gave birth to him
And saw that everything was vain
The world however didn't wait
But soon observed what followed on
It's wisdom that had brought him to this state
How fortunate the man with none
How fortunate the man with none
You saw courageous Caesar next
You know what he became
They deified him in his life
Then had him murdered just the same
How loud he cried: you too, my son
The world however didn't wait
But soon observed what followed on
It's courage that had brought him to that state
How fortunate the man with none
How fortunate the man with none
You heard of honest Socrates
The man who never lied
They weren't so grateful as you'd think
Instead the rulers fixed to have him tried
And handed him the poisoned drink
How honest was the people's noble son
The world however didn't wait
But soon observed what followed on
It's honesty that brought him to that state
How fortunate the man with none
How fortunate the man with none
Here you can see respectable folk
Keeping to God's own laws
So far he hasn't taken heed
You who sit safe and warm indoors
Help to relieve our bitter need
How virtuously we had begun
The world however didn't wait
But soon observed what followed on
It's fear of God that brought us to that state
How fortunate the man with none
How fortunate the man with none

Dead Can Dance How Fortunate The Man With None Comments
I discovered Dead Can Dane when I was 18. I am 48 today and I still think it is a pure magic.
THIS EFFIN' SONG!!!!!!!!!!
I don't get the message.
Hmm.. it's very similar to the Hitman 2 soundtrack, 47 makes a decision
Excelente
I am always taken back by how good these two people are. Absolutely beautiful moments that I've never seen from other musicians. Amazing they aren't more famous.
*wise that they are hidden precious gems to be encountered, discovered. It denotes a special, unique, genius value and is no accident. It is by design.*
Welcome to the Jejune Institute
A perfect song for the end of the year, and for the end of the world.
I have nothing I see only passengers with qestion so many years why comes the things true why Óoooo Dio Padre thank you for every day
still here 12/2019.....been with this group since 1983? brendan' voice commands the doors to open at the gate of your mind
COME OUT OF HER MY CHILDREN
*LOL! though, the answer is NO.*
"To the wise, death is a blessing in a foolish world. "
Sees the door?
Nice song. He sounds a bit like Jim Morrison.🌙
La escuchaba embarazada de mi hijo,y luego la bailé abrazada a él... mágica
Berthe is a ship you can never live in. Wretched that Pytrel is. The signe of Ester's Grace, her son.
You are welcome for the support of nothingness. The witch dog is dead. He is caste in amber resin with his dogs.
My introduction to Dead Can Dance is so bizarre. I go to a classical music conservatory, and in our library, we have a desk where the library gives away items for free. There's a greeting sign on it that reads, "These items are looking for a new home!" Near the beginning of my first semester here, I saw a peculiar album - an eerie hand being caressed by two smaller hands in black and white. Upon further inspection, I saw the name Dead Can Dance. I immediately thought, "oh yeah! I remember briefly reading about these musicians and their involvement in the dark wave movement!" I was not expecting to hear the sounds I did when I heard the first track of Into the Labyrinth. The music is even more unsettling than the album artwork. Dark, somber, confrontational, and if nothing else, it's a record you'll never forget when you listen. It's as if the album was there waiting for me. How Unfortunate The Man With None is hands down my favorite track. Everything down to the creeping, hypnotic bass line and Brendan Parry's gloomy poetry, it's a culmination of everything leading up to the moment. I can say without hesitation, this is one of the best written albums I've ever heard in my life.
what painting is this?
one o' the most amazing ensembles o' the 20th century...
No - it's not on AION... It's INTO THE LABYRINTH ... All great albums.. what a pair Brendan and Lisa are...
a quick history lesson without the sermonising and a ruler across the knuckles... absolutely wonderful - I've had this song on my c.d .. it may be AEON but I wouldn't swear to it ... I have all the DCD albums but this track is a favourite... Cracking stuff Gromitt.
Most beautiful song ever ever ever made! Can’t stop crying. BP, love!!
Tomasz Beksinski tak zasluchiwal sie w dcd i...Muzyka tajemniza,ale moze cos w niej niedobrego tkwi, jakas depresyjna czarna dziura?
Fantástico!!!
Most accurate song bout superhuman beings the great (King of Kings) Solomon & (The Thinker)Socrates.... really sad song next to “Gloomy Sunday”
The world, however, didn't wait....virtue lost
I'm always in love with this song!
jim sinatra
You’ve heard of noble Donald Trump. He turned our country around. The liberals however didn’t wait. But soon tried to bring him down. It’s courage that had brought him to that state. How fortunate the man with none
The painting is by Dan Gheno. This is his website: http://www.dangheno.net/partist_statement.htm
The Devil Is:
The Devil's a pimply faced German
a Spanish conquistador
surely, he's not someone learning
the bloodlines of worldly wars
The Devil is an engineer
contriving products fine
secrets of the world to last
until the end of time
The Devil is a copied scribe
he sits at head of state
making laws, or passing time
burning witches at the stake
The Devil is a mental patient
insane from what he knows
in recoveries not his making
sitting in a cell so cold
The Devil is a stealing thief
breaking locks and doors
simple things they always leave
and, hidden in the floors
The Devil is a vampire, too
he cheats at playing cards
holdouts under the table, too
a gunslinger fancy with guards
-F. Nienow
Welcome all yee Goths.
What is the instrument played from the start ?
Completely forgot about DMD.
god almighty...
Супер!!!!!!!!!!!
this should be floating through space
My theme song
Tanks for lyrics.
Must be the spirit of Jim Morrison...
Música que lava a alma!!!
This beautiful voice combines perfectly with atmosphere of the song.
Artists who can express yourselves through art that touchs our soul(s). That's the real spirit of music.
What's the message? It is better to be without courage, truth and wisdom?
Truth and wisdom you must attain, Yoda said.
But first buy some cool Star Wars toy!
There are many fancy spiritual phrases and people with head full of it but I'll answer with question: Courage, seeking wisdom, honesty - How Fortunate The Man With None! What is so great about it?
todo aquel que consigue la iluminacion en esta vida sera apagada, que afortunado aquellos que no la consiguen!
Best male vocal ever. Just watch them in Belgrade few weeks ago, in first row, so i had perfect audio experience and his voice blew me away...So eteric and otherwordly..And this powerfull song, always opens something like doors in me which i didn't know that even exist ...changing perspective on life and hope for better ... in faith and humanity..
Au brate otkud propustih :(
@Rayan Dizdarević bili su u Sava centru krajem 6 mjeseca..imala srece sa kartom pa sam dobila prvi red sredinu i to je vrh iskustvo iako je Lisa bila nekako dosta izmucena,on je ovog puta potegao za dvoje :)
FBI coming home now:=)
Me Too...
i just like cannabish...Lol sorry
I love his voice. He's like a Goth Frank Sinatra, lol!
Yes. So trippy
Check out his album Ark if you havn't already. It's a masterpiece
*accurate*
could not have said it better....
Killer lyrics
This is Brendan's finest vocal absolutely incredible. Pure Brilliance.
Yes and indoctrination a design for living also ,love his voice .
listen to the wind . .
His voice is pure gothic magic just to remind us of the very void that is our all destiny yet descended by the "non-existing" gods to let us feel life...
how fortunate the man with none! but soon observed....!
Anyone know what the title of the painting is?
bleak, it's how i feel, music never ceases to amaze me i love this song
Can someone tell me their other songs like this, I don't like their ones that sound like they should be on the Gladiator movie soundtrack
Dead can dance makes me feel like dying and then dancing. Even though I can't dance....maybe I'll learn it after I die though.
ma se uno sta sentendo i dead can dance...perchè si deve beccare questa cosa qua?....you tube impazzito
Сильное полотно! Мир не ждет. Ни Соломона, ни Цезаря, ни Сократа... И не тебя, божья тварь.
согласен. никогда такого не слышал
копи проставивают...
простите мой венгерский акцент..
anyone else see a thunder on the shoe of the guy passing by ?
Love Song. Thanx.
how fortunate the man with none, no ties to another, no sorrow for ones passing, no loathing for a loved one.. how fortunate the man with none who cannot lose a thing.
there is a deep concurrence between the context and the music! i cant describe it! anthem , bible, codex, psalm ?
Csn you tell me the name of the painting ? Or the painter ? Thanks!
I sleep in a doorway, anyone please tell me the painter... Thanks
185 People dont know how the man with with none.
One of the creepier songs I listen to..... Borderline disturbing, but also engaging..
Quality piece of prose but the accompanying music is just that, accompanying and adds nothing, but the prose is outstanding! Love it!
Que musica chata do caralho ,puta que pariu na boa , um torniquete apertando o meu saco seria menos doloroso !

While we all are here living our puzzling lives, none of us will know for certain whether us Humans have really got a Soul or not, whether there is Life beyond Death and whether there is a God or not, so many of us may tend to conclude that Spirituality is just an illusion created by the Human mind. Yet Dead Can Dance's music has the ability to strike some hidden chords in your mind and your heart making Life after Death and Other Dimensions feel real, almost tangible, as if these do indeed exist.
You are lost young man
Niet draaien op een feestje.
Tenzij je wil dat iedereen plat gaat.🛏🛏📒
Main inspiration coming from PLATO's THE REPUBLIC, featuring the parable vvhere ODYSSEUS is seen as blessed but actually admits he'd rather be an average Greek.
Fantástica formación musical desde hace tres décadas. Todo lo que hacen tiene algún valor, que no es poco.
Tuo mies on Jeesus, salkkumiehet ovat Pilatuksia jotka sieluissaan haluaisivat vaihaat paikkaa tuon Pyhyyden kanssa. En usko jumalaan mutta ymmärrän miksi jumalista on kirjoitettu.
sublime!!! Amazing lyrics as well
Socrates was put to death for revealing by medium-istic ways , that which had not been revealed to him by initiation into the secrets, forbidden to those without being initiated, learning & wisdom was not enough, the penalty for this was death! Caesar, for declaring himself, ( if true), as perpetual dictator, yet again against Roman Law at that time! Soloman would have laughed at the judgements passed in the song! Without Wisdom, Learning, Courage, Fortitude, Intuition, fear of the Divine a belief in more than we are! We are as nothing!
Clearly, you couldn't understand the song and the poem from which it originates. I pity you.
@nishikun89 Arrogance is obviously your forte! Pop that balloon n' breath!
Opening reminds me of the shinning
Es demasiado inexplicable.como la.musica puede ser tan perfecta
Get stoned to this!
Brendan's voice on this is Amazing. Gorgeous xXx
Very nice song.Gotta buy some Dead Can Dance vinyls now! :)
Just epic.
a solo man's none is a moment with potential for everything
thank you @FunkyardDogg this is awesome. new subscriber
verse written with DCD inspiration http://rduffus.wordpress.com visceral & ''soon observed what followed on"
This is actually a good painting. Any one knows where is the painting from?

Lovely voice, beautiful translation from Brecht, good music - such a shame they abandoned Weill's tune.
What a cool piece. We're all gonna fear God when he comes in person.
We all are god.
Odio..los anunvcios...
Fortunate, the man with no binds.
Fortunate the man hidden behind no mask.
Fortunate the man unbound by judgment.
Fortunate the man who is free
Fortunate the man with none.
I love Frank Sinatra!
I hate Leonid Uteysoff...
In concert Lisa and Brendan are hypnotic and talented.
Seattle at the Moore, mid-90's.
Jesus Christ and God themselves would approve of this song and message. Makes me want to reach out and grasp faith in every way. Hope I can do so. Thank you DCD!
