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.
A falled painter, born to change the world
Beaten up kid swore his revenge
Whirlwind of chaos and destruction man has never seen before
Blind masses led like a flock of lambs
Deception, blinded by the lie
Another “saviour” of mankind showed the way
Gargantuan monster
Spread terror, food for the guns
Obsession turned to hate
It was their final fate
Projecting, persecuting, murdering and conquering the world
A diabolical plan was created
Armageddon and the apocalypse
Six million people vanished in the air
For the cause of one man
Gargantuan monster
Spread terror, food for the guns
Zenith of power
Zenith of power – He changed the course of history
The final hour
Madness reigns
Zenith of power
Zenith of power – Remains forever a mystery
The final hour
Madness reigns
Beaten up kid swore his revenge
Whirlwind of chaos and destruction man has never seen before
Blind masses led like a flock of lambs
Deception, blinded by the lie
Another “saviour” of mankind showed the way
Gargantuan monster
Spread terror, food for the guns
Obsession turned to hate
It was their final fate
Projecting, persecuting, murdering and conquering the world
A diabolical plan was created
Armageddon and the apocalypse
Six million people vanished in the air
For the cause of one man
Gargantuan monster
Spread terror, food for the guns
Zenith of power
Zenith of power – He changed the course of history
The final hour
Madness reigns
Zenith of power
Zenith of power – Remains forever a mystery
The final hour
Madness reigns
