Symphony X – The Divine Wings Of Tragedy Lyrics 16 years ago
"Depending on how you look at it, this song is either looking at the far past or the far future."

A agree, jenz1 has a good point. But if we consider RyAqua's last line and interpret it as refering to the far past, it still makes sense if you assume lucifer to be the narater. But then again i don't think being thrown out of heaven would be considered to be a victory and it would only be a temporary paradise.

Dream Theater – In the Presence of Enemies Pt.2 Lyrics 18 years ago
I don't see why you have a problem with Psalm 23 being used in a twisted way. His enemies are very evil. If you know the priest story the evil angels rebelled and were kicked out because they were jealous of Gods love for his new creation (humans). So its alright that his cup fills with their blood because they deserve to die scince they are so evil. Just like the Hebrews were instructed to kill all the people in the pagan cities in canan because they were practicing human sacrifice and other evil stuff.

rare example of a song by symphony x related to modern religion rather than egyptology, greak and roman mythology. Also this song may be one of the only songs by symphony x that tells a story in the future. (part VII) but then again my interpretation may be wrong. The end of the song is not necessarily the end of the story...

anyway
Which is better?

Divine Wings of Tragedy or Octavarium?

I think this song is about Lucifur.
In the first part of the song he talks about his pain which leads him to temptation.

the next part is him talking about how heaven has changed. it used to be one way but now it's another and he doesn't like it. at the end of this part he somehow loses his wings.

The next part is him becomeing evil.
"summons me to decend into the otherside" Other side being......evil bit like star wars.
At the end of this part he says he has been illuminated....it means he can now see beyond what he could before. maybe implying he can see God as the real evil which was hidden from his view. this could be linked to the illuminati too.

The next three lines i think he's planning a rebelion in Heaven

not sure about the next part but it might be when he gets thrown out of heaven.

the next part might be him arriving on earth to annoy people.

the next part is him talking about prophets of God telling the earth about the bible. telling them of judgment day.

the next part is him saying he has caused the whole world to sin. To him this is Victory

In the next part he talks about "The Worrior Prince"
Makes him out to be the Bad Guy.

In the next part he says "the Prince of Truth now the bringer of war" Same person.

The next part he wants to "banish" all the kings of the Earth so he can "dominate" the earth.

The next part is names "paradise regained" so we can assume he's won. and he just describes how he feels about winning and stuff.

well thats what i think it means. It's from lucifurs point of view obviously he's hoping to win at the end.

It's an amazing song. good singing, good solos.
