How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Elder God
Listen to me!
Satan
(The confrontations)
I the elder one
Who speaks to you
Trying to get through to you
Sent from the elder gods
To accomplish and reveal to you
Listen to my magick!
Hear the voices of fury
Alive are the voices
Hear the elder yell in me
Listen to our magick!
Hear my voices of fury
Elder is your magick
Hear your voices cry into me
Satan
Go back!
From beyond
Satan
Go back!
From which you eternally lie
Listen to my magick!
Hear the voices of fury
Alive are the voices
Hear the elder yell in me
Listen to our magick!
Hear my voices of fury
Elder is your magick
Hear your voices cry into me
Satan
Go back!
From beyond
Satan
Go back!
From which you eternally lie
Forever
Listen to you!
Listen to me!
