This is it in the lions share
Tied to this bed + I can't stand no more
Do you need what I need
In this vault of disease
Take your sides content to bleed
Your revolution died with all your greed
I set the time to all the lies
Of those in bed without a bind
Inside this church
We will burn all the loves
Of the women
Inside this church
We will burn all the lives
Of the damaged
Unjustify. Killed desire

Do you bleed what I bleed
In this house of the need

Genocide in where I live?
I can't forget too much + can't forgive
I'm just a fool with severed eyes
With severed lies with severed eyes
Inside this church
We will burn all the lives of the women
Damaged, damn, live, living, living
Unjustify
Get up and walk away
From this blaming halo
Got to move and set fire
To your church
Move to the living
Justify the testified...petrified...obey
Walk away it's just a flaming halo
In this blame invention
Get up and set fire
To your church

    how is it telling bad things to the masses? Surely somebody should reveal the brutality anf hypocrisy of the christian church. In this the church's sexism is highlighted- "inside this church we will burn all the lives of the women".

    piero10: 1 - amen aren't metal, they're punk. 2 - ladyboygrrl is right. 3 - your favourite band, according to your profile, is linkin park. as linkin park's lyrics are rediculously pubescence and introverted, how can you comment on the validity of an intelligent band like amen? 4 - i hate you

    Amen aren't really a punk band, it is true that its more metal. But not in the modern sense of the word. Hypocracy, eh? Yes OK the Church is hypocritical, but in 2001 I remember a Casey Choas refusing to play the main stage at Reading Festival because he "Hated fucking arena rock". Summer 2002, where was his band proudly billed? Yep, main stage. Sell out?

    o and also, amen arent blatantly racist, homophobic, sexist instigators of violence. unlike relgion in general really. theyre not hypocritical about things that actually MATTER.

    South Hibbing Amen played the mainstage at Leeds and Reading because they were asked too and the band was on the verge of spliting up they were poor as fuck and hadnt played shows in the uk in a long time. Play a mainstage is selling out either. Sell out is an over used stupid term in my opinion and it should never be applied to Amen. And MKpunk42 when the music cuts out Casey just screams ''Get up and walk away its just a blaming halo''

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
