In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
The seventh had seven descendants
The seventh was then divided into three
They were given their first symbols
They bore faces of animals
A Snake, an Eagle & the Lion
The first was known as magic
And he bore an enchanted heart
A Star of David upon his crest
Was his eternal mark
The second was strength,
Half a moon was he
A triangle he adorned,
A sword for all to see
The third was Lion wisdom
A mind unmatched
Represented by the cross
The white was his essence
A crystal his defense
The three were one, divided at rebirth
Forbidden to unite,
For fear of their strength
The divine order was ignored
The three thrn became one
Their punishment was swift
They were denied and then cast down
A thousand incarnations passed
The time was now at hand
A prophecy fulfilled so;
He may save this sinful land
As Jobe bore the sins of all men
Who walk the land
They must bear the cross
As was their comands
The second unification of the angel Seven
Three human souls, merged,
As in heaven
The lion's roar was heard by all
The magic and the force have heard
The will to prophesize was theirs
The cross shook the hammering of nails
Omen in the darkened skies above
Thunder, lightning and rain did flow
As the united angel rose
Ice steamed and fire rose
And the three were born...
The seventh had seven descendants
The seventh was then divided into three
The seventh was then divided into three
They were given their first symbols
They bore faces of animals
A Snake, an Eagle & the Lion
The first was known as magic
And he bore an enchanted heart
A Star of David upon his crest
Was his eternal mark
The second was strength,
Half a moon was he
A triangle he adorned,
A sword for all to see
The third was Lion wisdom
A mind unmatched
Represented by the cross
The white was his essence
A crystal his defense
The three were one, divided at rebirth
Forbidden to unite,
For fear of their strength
The divine order was ignored
The three thrn became one
Their punishment was swift
They were denied and then cast down
A thousand incarnations passed
The time was now at hand
A prophecy fulfilled so;
He may save this sinful land
As Jobe bore the sins of all men
Who walk the land
They must bear the cross
As was their comands
The second unification of the angel Seven
Three human souls, merged,
As in heaven
The lion's roar was heard by all
The magic and the force have heard
The will to prophesize was theirs
The cross shook the hammering of nails
Omen in the darkened skies above
Thunder, lightning and rain did flow
As the united angel rose
Ice steamed and fire rose
And the three were born...
The seventh had seven descendants
The seventh was then divided into three
