| Estatic Fear – Chapter III Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I believe this version is.. maybe not necessarily correct, but easier to understand: Eil mein gramgebeugt Klagelied, klimm empor, entflieh der Brust, die dich geboren. Am Tage wohlverwahrt, dem Träumer offenbart, ward deinem Klang des Herzens Kenntnis stets verwehrt. Magst dereinst, kühn gereift, dem Geist, der leis begreift, mit holdem Drang der Seele Wahn entziehen. |

| Therion – The Siren of the Woods Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
The Internets also give the translation: When God's human being Shamash's slave, wise men, saw Nergal in himself This Earth-stomped land became God's. At a decent throne Of life and death Nergal comes glowing, Not stopping at Senior Gods As he was fear's bride. In the land with no return In it's glory The look upon judgement Gave birth to Nergal The king of underground. Nergal was born, Adapa suffered, of what was in himself |

| Pink Floyd – Don't Leave Me Now Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| tubson - um, I believe when people mention "Pink" here they don't refer to Pink Floyd the band per se, but to Pink Floyd the character from "The Wall," simply enough. | |

| Iron & Wine – Evening on the Ground (Lilith's Song) Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Lilith is a name that is found in Judeic as well as Christian apocryphal writings. According to them, she was the first woman. God made her out of clay as Adam's wife, but instead of being a man's faithful companion, she turned out to be too independent and in many ways equal to Adam. Obviously, God and Adam didn't like it. Lilith was expelled from Eden and God made Eve from Adam's rib.. Eve was inferior and therefore suited Adam better. Meanwhile, Lilith became a demon who steals women's babies and makes them her own. Also, she comes to men in their dreams ("wet dreams") and tries to become pregnant from them too... they say she's successful sometimes, and some of Lilith's children are now walking the Earth O;-) |
