Forgotten in his reich of shadows
Banned forever
One thought
The lord of the evil
Was given name and place of the seventh sea
Shelter of the seventh key
Who was betraitous?
I guess You know
There would be more than one name to name
Now he whose name is many searches for the one
The one strong enough to survive
As his terrestrial hand
Enticement and promise will crown the king
A puppet on a string
For a thousand years
So they sing

Wouldn't it be nice to plunder with your eyes
Whatever there's for you to see
Is yours to be
Let me be there
Just tell me You don't care
Just say You came here after life
However high the price
I know your secrets
I know it all

I know your secrets
I see them hidden with our light
I am your sickness
Hiding You right behind your lies
Don't try to kill me
I cannot die I guess You know
You and I will be
Heaven above and hell below

Brother [harsh voice]
Release me [women's choir]
Father [harsh voice]
Foresee me [women's choir]
Brother [harsh voice]
Believe me, perceive me [women's choir]

[Andi (1)]
Time will be a turning wheel
Whichever will torn
Time will be a toy
Time we will enjoy
Say You want to live forever
Mindless one day
Say You will obey
And I

[Band as choir (1)]
I will show
I will show
I will show no light of dawn
And I will show
I will show
I will show no fright at all

Wouldn't it be nice to reign until you sigh
Whatever there's attracting You
We'll give this turn to you [harsh voice]
Let me be there
Just say You want to share
The power no one will withstand
Just be my human hand

I know your secrets
I know it all

[Band as choir (1)]
[Solo 1]
[Women's choir (1)]
Don't release us now he sees us
No illusions, executions
The damnation, the annihilation
The non-stopping celebration
Don't release us now he sees us
No illusions,

Executions !
[Andi & harsh voice (1)]
We're a king for a thousand years
We are a king of million tears
We're the ones who bring desire by the greed and fears
We're a king of fallen men
We are keepers of the damned
through the hoping to obsession
We're the king
We're the king for a thousand years

Angels of fire
aeon of darkness fear and hate
Wake up my preachers
Stand up you're bringer of the sate
no one can kill us
We cannot die I guess one knows
Mankind is sleeping
My victim You'll be buried so close

I know your secrets
I know it all

[twinsolo]
Goodbye sorrows [Men's choir]
Follow me You have to return the key
Release me [Mixed choir]
Believe me [Mixed choir]
Goodbye sorrows [Men's choir]
Remember Boy you'll have to [...]
Goodbye sorrows [Men's choir]
Follow me You have to return the key
Conceive me [Mixed choir]

[Andi (1)]
[Band as choir (1)]
[Andi & harsh voice (1)]
We're a king for a thousand years

    Song Meaning

    I think he's talking about drugs in this song. The 'line' that he mentions in this song and other songs could be a line of cocaine or something similar. He says he was a king under its control because of how it made him feel so in control of everything and it gave him so much power in his head, but he knows it's also destroying him and he wants to stop using it. He says 'All that I've compromised to feel another high' shows that he knows the consequences of whatever drug it is but he compromises that to 'feel another high'. The dreams mentioned in the lyrics 'I dreamed you dreamed of me' could also be drug induced. 'Is it worth the price' can show the cost of drugs. 'I need to feel like you've let me go' shows how he wants to move on from it but he can't because of the addiction. 'I've had to break myself to carry on' and 'They say it's easy to leave you behind, I don't want to try' could show how difficult it is to quit once you start using drugs, because of the withdrawal and difficulty to function normally. Most people say this song is about an abusive or destructive relationship which could also be true, but I think that the lyrics can be taken more literally. A lot of Y

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
