I think "My greatest shame" refers to Caleb. He was probably an illegitimate child. Maybe his father even raped his mother, which would also explain her hatred for him. |

Seems to be about a person who can't stop thinking about all his problems and failures, which leads him into depression and thus even more thinking, while his live passes by. |

This is the only reference I found about Marcellin. Unfortunately it is in german, so I will try to tell something about the book (note that I have not read it, I just speak german and read the article) . It's written by a guy named Viktor Farkas (never heard of him) and is about these "strange but true incidents". One of the incidents described is abaout the painter Andre Marcellin, dies 1914. The story is almost the same as posted by Confinedinsanity, but in the book there are also events described that happened after Andre's dead. People died after buying one of his paintings, a house burned down and only his painting remained etc.....
Well, in my opinion it's just a story to earn money, since those books always sell good^^, and as I said before, there is no other trace of Marcellin on the web, so I think Farkas just made up the hole story. |

| Blind Guardian – Sadly Sings Destiny Lyrics
| 17 years ago
|
I think the song is about how poor Judas is. It is his destiny to betray Jesus, thus opening the way for the death and rebirth of him. So he is just a tool to fulfill the plan.
So it's his destiny to be a sinner and he can't escape it. |

Well, the special thing about the site is the discussion feature, but it is also a collection of lyrics for those who just want to read them. So someone looks for the lyrics to Aces High by CoB he should find it here, and not only at the Maiden page... |

| Demons & Wizards – My Last Sunrise Lyrics

I think the thing with Jesus fits well in the Azrael-story. If He is the creator of the entire universe, than god cannot be this. So all the things Jesus said about his father would be wrong and therefore he would not be the messiah, but just a carpenter.
And as said before, the grail, the rose and the lamb are religious symbols. And "They don't exist" because Azrael is the real creator and not a god |

I think it refers to Jesus himself. On the one hand It's about the things he did and said, and on the other hand it's about his doubts ("Why am I born, will I fail to rise again"). |
