| Forgive Durden – Genesis (feat. Casey Crescenzo) Lyrics

O the Scientist and Ahrima (along with the other deities, presumably) are creating the world during this song. Hence the title 'Genesis'. They're describing the process and how all they really did was create potential for the world and let humans truly make the world what it is. |

Myfawnwy is a Welsh name, so this could possibly take place in Wales. William and Margaret are also common Welsh names, as is Charlotte. Not sure about Isaiah and Dawn. |

He's saying that he doesn't care that his mother is evil and Margaret's pregnant, he just wants to love her. I don't think she's giving birth yet, because lots of stuff happens to her and she doesn't seem to have a baby with her, so she's probably still pregnant. |

This is one of the best anti-war songs because it isn't blatantly angry or sad: it's cheerful, which adds even more bleakness to the picture. The upbeatness emulates the la-di-da-ness of the anchorpeople and of culture in general. |

It was customary in the 18th century to plant pine trees in cemeteries because they are everlasting trees. So her grave is probably in the middle of a bunch of pines. I'm guessing she died from disease, such as tuberculosis, not from being murdered. And him being buried in a churchyard suggests that he is poorer, and possible orphaned, and therefore they buried him in the churchyard, not in the large cemetery. |

I still don't think that's quite right. These are my additional corrections:
You told me just to breathe, but you stole my breath
Two ex-lovers robbing quick
Both so frantic for the fix
Keep on, hold on to me |
