After several years with no news of the project, e-mail correspondence between a fan and Chris Tentum (Weller) revealed that the group was in the process of producing new material, due for release some time in the near future. A year after this came to light, a new single from E Nomine appeared on Amazon.de entitled Heilig, due for release on December 28, 2007. The release date has since been pushed to mid-February 2008.
Some fans speculate the E Nomine music project will soon, or already has, ended. Their official website has not been updated since early 2005, as well as no official release of any material since Das Böse. In December of 2007, the single Heilig was stated for release, but due to complications with their record company it was pushed back into Janauary, and eventually February of 2008. Despite this, an actual hard copy was never shipped to any stores, and was only sold via select online music stores.
Sometime in mid 2008, various videos of an E Nomine peformance emerged on several video sharing websites which contained a live music and acrobatic performance to select previously released work. It contained an introduction of “Das Beste aus Gottes Beitrag und Teufels Werk”, as well as the new ‘Heilig’ and an unannounced new song ‘Excalibur’. However, this performance was dated to late 2007.
In recent times, all albums have stopped being stocked in music outlets, and became listed as “discontinued”. Friedrich Graner has left the group as well, leaving the project in the lone hands of Christian Weller. With no real news in 2008, the status of the project is questionable.

Carpe Noctem
E Nomine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ich bin das Auge, nutze die Nacht.
Ich bin das Auge, das über dich wacht.
Ich bin das Auge ohne Gesicht.
Die magische Kraft aus dem Schattenlicht.
Quo vadis?
Carpe noctem.
Carpe noctem
Ich sehe im Schlaf, Schatten blinken.
Sehe durch Welten, die Götter winken.
Ich sehe dein Herz, sehe deine Gedanken.
Ich sah, was ich sehe; wie Träume ertranken.
Ich bin das Auge, nutze die Nacht.
Ich bin das Auge das über dich wacht.
Ich bin das Auge ohne Gesicht.
Die magische Kraft aus dem Schattenlicht.
Quo vadis?
Quo vadis?
Amore orbis meo.
Nutze die Nacht
Quo vadis?
Quo vadis?
Carpe noctem.
Nutze die Nacht
Ich sehe das Chaos.
Sehe Verderben, die Bilder im Spiegel vom großen Sterben.
Ich sehe die Trauer, danach die Not.
Ich sehe, was ich sah; kein Wasser, kein Brot.
Ich bin das Auge, nutze die Nacht.
Ich bin das Auge das über dich wacht.
Ich bin das Auge ohne Gesicht.
Die magische Kraft aus dem Schattenlicht.
Quo vadis?
Quo vadis?
Amore orbis meo.
Nutze die Nacht
Quo vadis?
Quo vadis?
Carpe noctem.
Carpe noctem…
Quo vadis?
Quo vadis?
Carpe noctem.
Carpe noctem.
Ich bin das Auge, nutze die Nacht.
Ich bin das Auge das über dich wacht.
Carpe noctem. Nutze die Nacht
Carpe noctem. Nutze die Nacht
The lyrics of E Nomine’s song Carpe Noctem celebrate the power of the night and the mysterious forces that come to life in darkness. The singer identifies himself as “the eye,” a seemingly omniscient and magical entity that watches over and connects different realms of reality. The eye has no face and draws its power from the “shadow light.” Throughout the song, the singer urges the listener to “seize the night” and use its energy to tap into their own hidden potential.
The second verse of the song suggests that the eye can see beyond the visible world, into the realms of dreams and gods. The line “I saw what I see; how dreams drowned” may refer to the experience of lucid dreaming, where the dreamer becomes aware of the dream state and can manipulate its contents. The third verse takes a darker turn, speaking of chaos and death, but the eye remains a steady witness to it all.
The phrase “quo vadis?” in the chorus means “where are you going?” and is often used to question one’s purpose or direction in life. The repeated calls to “seize the night” and “use the night” suggest that the singer sees the night as a time for self-discovery and growth, and that the eye serves as a guide on this journey.

* Akzeptanz... Also "es ist okay, wenn ich mich grad scheisse fühle"
* Jedes Gefühl durchfühlen
* Bewusst Glaubenssätze wahrnehmen und infrage stellen ("Der guckt so böse, der muss mich hassen" - Ist das wirklich wahr? Kann ich zu 100% sicher sein?)
* Bewusst in jeder negativen Situation die Chancen suchen.
* Dankbarkeit lernen
* Ängste wahrnehmen, auseinander nehmen und hinterfragen. Im Zweifel - Wo die Angst ist, ist der Weg?
* Kooperativ anstatt kompetitiv denken.
* Aufs gerne Geben fokussieren
* Grenzen wahrnehmen und glasklar kommunizieren. Immer und insbesondere, wenn die Angstwarnlampe angeht.
* Sich eigene Ziele setzen - und das auf ne Art, die Du selbst unter Kontrolle hast. (Also nicht - Ich such ne Beziehung. Stattdessen - Ich spreche jeden Typen an, den ich interessant finde.)
* Hilf erst Dir selbst - und dann anderen.
* Finde die Stellen, wo Du Dich selbst bescheißt. Dein Unterbewusstsein merkt das - nimm lieber Deine Unzulänglichkeiten liebend an. Es ist okay, mal das Fitti ausfallen zu lassen, wenn Du grad müde bist - Du musst Dir nich selber 23 Ausreden dafür suchen.
* Mach Dir Deine Werte und die Hierarchie davon klar - und leb sie.
* Folge der Freude
