1. The Dutch black metal band Infinity, hailing from the greater Rotterdam area, consists of three members: Balgradon XUL on drums, bass and vocals (Non Essence Genesis, ex-Ornaments of Sin, ex-Haatstrijd, Funeral Winds, Corpsecandle), Andras on guitar (Weltbrand) and Draconis on guitar and vocals. They have released seven albums since their formation in 1995 and are still very much active.
2. The story of the Norwegian dance/pop act Infinity started when Birgitte Moe (24 years old in 2000) was going to audition for an other Norwegian dance act Devotion. Then she heard that Kjell Gabriel Henriksen needed a singer for his band, after a lot of hard work she finally convinced him to let her try singing. The band was at the time named Barbie-Q and consisted of three rappers and a vocalist. When Birgitte joined the group they changed their name into Infinity.
Their first album Www.Happy-Poeple.net was somewhat quite succesful. It went straight to #1 just after release selling more than 30.000 copies in Norway. The following album was planned to be www.Sporty-People.net, the corresponding website had even been created! But for some reasons, it had never been released (apart from one single called Boys And Girls or 1-2-3-4). Instead there was an album entitled Naked In The Rain, still featuring the voice of Brigitte, the same happy euro style as the previous one.
3. Infinity is a Euro dance, trance act from the Czech Republic. Their biggest hits are 'Let Me Go' and 'Never More'.

Though I am not a prophet, hn hnnn
In the book of Revelation
There is warning for the nations
He that has any ear let him hear
what the spirit is saying

Aisi n le olongbo (In the absense of the cat)
yiyo tekun n yo (the Leopards's stalk for his prey)
ki ma e se tojo (should not be mistaken for fear/cowardice)
Agba ki wa loja kori omo tutun wo (A child's head should not be badly moulded while there are elders in the market place)
Fitila yi to tan (Before the oil lamp burns out)
Imole wole wa (Let the light come in)
Imole ti de (Light has come!)

The song Olori Oko by Infinity starts with the singer making a bold statement of having seen the future, despite not being a prophet. He alludes to the Book of Revelation, which gives a warning to the nations. The song then shifts to a Yoruba proverb about a cat's absence, which allows the mouse to take charge. The leopard's stalking of prey should not be mistaken for cowardice. The song then mentions an elder's role in shaping a child's life, emphasizing their wisdom and guidance.
The next verse of the song refers to the importance of being proactive, in light of the finite nature of time. A lamp's oil lamp is burning out, and the light needs to come in. Finally, the song extols the greatness of God with the lyrics, "aye ile, aye ile, Edumare baba," which translates to "the world, the world, God Almighty." The song ends with a reaffirmation of the presence of Olori Oko, Jagunmolu, and Papa Nla.
Overall, the song Olori Oko is a mix of several themes that reflect the Yoruba world view; the importance of wisdom, guidance, and respect for elders, the need to be proactive, and the greatness of God. It's a reminder of the need for people to appreciate the different spheres of life, learn from them and apply them to their own lives.
