| Týr Faroese – The Ride To Hel Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This be about Hermods ride to Niflheim to retrive Baldr who had been killed by Loki's tricksy ways " With lies my life was taken" and the challenge laid down by Hel to prove that all weep for his death, only one did not (this could have been loki in a different guise). Some say that Odin knew when Baldr died it would have consequences at Ragnarök, so a few lines could be said to be in reference to this; "The woes of war awaken" "Sent away and you will count the cost" |

Hmm, don't know how you got that. I thought it showed how he would have rather died than them die, mainly because they are in Valhalla and presumably he is going to Niflheim and join Hel's army to fight against his friends at Ragnarök. Also considering the season being reminiscent of both the end of his life (of age i.e. going to Hel) and possibly the start of Ragnarök which was preceded by, I think , 3 years of winter, that event may not be far off. |

| Iron Maiden – Hallowed Be Thy Name Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I'm not going to even attempt to compare a band that has produced album after album of quality without selling to 'tallica THE sellouts of the digital age. The band who had brought the album mainstream - i.e. made their money which I would not normally criticise, but after napster and everything else then they became sellouts - and they aren't that good. Any way to Hallowed By Thy Name. It seems to have alot of similarities between it and Tichborne's Elegy - written hours before his execution for conspiracy - catholic/protestant issues in 16th century. My prime of youth is but a frost of cares, My feast of joy is but a dish of pain, My crop of corn is but a field of tares, And all my good is but vain hope of gain; The day is past, and yet I saw no sun, And now I live, and now my life is done. My tale was heard and yet it was not told, My fruit is fallen, and yet my leaves are green, My youth is spent and yet I am not old, I saw the world and yet I was not seen; My thread is cut and yet it is not spun, And now I live, and now my life is done. I sought my death and found it in my womb, I looked for life and saw it was a shade, I trod the earth and knew it was my tomb, And now I die, and now I was but made; My glass is full, and now my glass is run, And now I live, and now my life is done. Mainly in the context of religion. I am guessing it is more a general setting to ask the question posed at the end of the song how will you feel when you know your death is imminent and above that a more reaching question of what is life, is there an afterlife? |

Becuase the CHristian Right in America are the main voice against this type of bands/music that have enough backbone to stand up an fight (i.e Rage against the machines classic protest-standing stark bollock naked in front of an ozzfest (ithink) crowd for twelve minutes without saying a word with the acrynm of some parents censorship campaign (from americas relgious right), im sure you all remeber the blame placed on marilyn manson after columbine (or watched bowling for columbine) and as micheal moore said he was the person who spoke the most sense one the whole of thew film. Neway hope thats answerted your point BUrtonite and praxzza. Although the Zionism movement PISSES ME OFF (zionism is the idea that we were forced out of a country of 2000 years ago, and when another face of people took it back of the romans everything was okay until 1900 when thy said "we want it back" WFt they do not own it and becuase they jews run alot of the USa econmic status USa recognised them and the they Palistines rebelled and it was called terrorism. Well sorry for my rant but there :() theres nothing you can do about cos you've just read and hopefully been enlightened. Hmm this was a LONG post, so farewell oh yer and UP THE IRONS |

Paschendale was hell. People were drowning in mud, and those unfound bodies will probably somewhere under the mud. But The best song of Dance of Death, and one of maidens classics. |
