Toto – Africa Lyrics	1 day ago
It's about finding someone that compliments you. Hurry boy she's waiting for you... time seems to cross paths every now and then but you need to recognise it as soon as it comes for hesitation is regrets. Africa, is one of the most beautiful songs written and probably always will.

Iron Maiden – Hallowed Be Thy Name Lyrics

1 month ago

@[TheDesertFox:54925] the lines where he says ' of a world that has gone very wrong for me ', dictates he is guilty but as time passes he finds peace within. Faith. Death is our greatest fear for we do not understand it only that it's final and forever from what we know as a human. What we dont understand we fear. The bible has opened my mind but naturally there's still fear and moreso when it's premature.

Iron Maiden – Revelations Lyrics

1 month ago

@[Otm:54924] the Hanged man is a metaphor. We all will see death coming in the last days. And we all take some secrets with us. And that's also why the lyricist speaks of the smile on his lips. What we take to the grave and got away with, so our small minds think, but we will all bow before God with a list of bad things we've done and not cared to have remorse over. I'm a Christian and I'm constantly haunted by things I've forgotten I've done, out of the blue. That's when I ask forgiveness. But I know there's so much more because I was a bad person in my younger years and have done so much I no longer remember. Tho the holy spirit reminds me at the strangest of times. That's my reminder to ask forgiveness. Listen to that quiet voice in your mind that speaks only truths and logic. When you're wanting one way but there's that part of your mind saying no don't, that's either something deeply ingrained in our once innocent minds or it's the holy spirit guiding your decision. I never noticed this until I became a born again Christian. Music soothes the soul. Rock on.

Iron Maiden – Revelations Lyrics

@[godamajinANTICHRIST:54923] i don't see Crowley being an influence at all. He was into the occult and the bible of Satan. Maiden have a fascination in themes. Old Egyptian mythology for the Powerslave album. Piece of Mind is entwined in history and thru the eyes of the beholder and his perception of society. Killers was just young raw aggression as with their first self titled album. Somewhere in Time is again perceived humanity just written with broken humour. Unfortunately I haven't kept up with their newer albums. Fear of the Dark is the last I know. They're brilliant live.

Iron Maiden – Revelations Lyrics

@[AinSof:54922] Revelation, the last book of the bible is the only book that heeds a deadly warning as to, if anyone adds or removes anything from this book there will be dire consequences. If you're interested the first 2 chapters are explaining who Jesus christ is. Chapters 3 and 4 are about the 7 churches which relate to all forms of Christianity. It has warnings, and how to see the issues six of the churches have and a gift for overcoming these human issues. Only one church is blessed tho reminds the Christian not to lose his first love. God. The rest is difficult for most to understand as it's pictorial, poetic, and prophetic, tho is in exact order of the final battle here for 1000 years. To study this book properly it'll take the best part of a year for a couple hours a day. It is the most important book of the 66. The Apocrypha should be read too especially the Book of Enoch. It speak of the watchers who fell in love with our women and became an abomination. Also is in depth with the spiritual war which we cannot see. The Canon has removed books thru their understanding and content. As a Christian I am aware of the catholic system. Vatican City being its own country is concerning. Their repetition in prayer is spoken of by God in NT. Prayer is directly to God not man. And the most scathing scandal is that you can pay ahead for the sins you wish to commit over a period of time. To blatantly commit sin and knowing well that no man, church, or priest can forgive any sin, we acknowledge our sin and repent to God. Only he can wipe clean your sins and that's because we are all now seen thru the heart of the sinless Jesus who took on past present and future sins of all mankind that he who believes that jesus died for all and was risen by God will not die the second death, our spiritual being. That's why jesus said Abba(father), why have you forsaken me. God had to turn away from his only begotten son in his last dying moments so Satan had one last test for jesus when he was at his weakest spiritual state. Everything in those three days was Jesus's doing alone and standing firm on his father's word. In the beginning was the word, the word was God, the word is God. Replace 'word' with jesus. Jesus sets everything in motion by his father's commands. There is no trinity, he's a triune God. Last of all, Satan knows every word of the bible and can test the strongest faith. First two chapters of Job explains satans abilities and that god still has power over satans desires. Everyone thinks the ultimate sin was eating of the tree of knowledge but it's not. It's when Adam blamed Eve. Blame is hidden deep in pride. Overcome pride and your two thirds to becoming a better person. Then judgement of others and quick temper are two big players in the last third. Even as a Christian I'm no better than anyone else. It is written, ' we are just filthy rags '. So when we are scrutinised for being hypocrites, remember, we are still sinners just the same as all. We just see our sins a little clearer and are quick to repent. Besides, there are many wolves amongst the sheep who call themselves a Christian. Even tho God knows the truness of our heart our mind is emnity to God. For we bless with our tongue and curse with it too. We too are rotten to the core. We just believe in what jesus did for us and gods truth. If we're totally wrong then atleast we tried our best to be a better version of who we are. It's humbling to see changes within our perception of life. I once was a bad person in big ways. Now I am calmer and see most of my outward perception and don't react as I once did. Tho I still have many failures I struggle with constantly. I still will not allow myself to be vulnerable under any circumstance. That's a big problem but as I age and wisen somewhat some will get chipped away but I'm lying to myself if I'll allow my defences to be wide open to be seen. Not even to another Christian unless I have studied them carefully and known them well. I'll never be an open book but I'm glad some of my biggest troubles that I've held tight and refined to an art are slowly being broken down with understanding and a little trust in those that don't judge, which can be counted on a few fingers. The New Testament is where to start. The Old is history and our continuous cycle of sin,repent,forgiven and back to sin, so the cycle cannot be broken no matter how we perceive the weight of sin. It's still sin. And Maiden have been a major part of my music repertoire since early teens. Tool and Rob Zombie are a huge influence still and I'm over 50. Maynard J Keenan has to be the most intelligent lyricist when it comes to the human condition and our vices. Rock on.

Tool – The Pot Lyrics

1 month ago

Simple. Song title. THE POT. ' when you pissed all over my black kettle'. The pot calling the kettle black. All about hypocrites. Liar,lawyer mirror.... The lawyer is reflected in the mirror as a liar. We all know the truth in that. Maynard loves writing about human nature and our condition. Hes the most intelligent lyricist ive known from my large genre of music. But it falls on so many deaf ears. Rob Zombie is another great lyricist just far more cryptic. His theme is all about the human condition and the state we're in.

Tool – Schism Lyrics	1 month ago
Maynard is a brilliant songwriter who chooses to write about the Human Condition. This song is all about letting go of race and differences so we can once again communicate without seperation, fear, then ultimately war. We fear what we dont understand thus building a wall or war. Communication settles all differences if fear holds no control.

System of a Down – Darts Lyrics

1 month ago

Ninti and Ishkur(Iskur, correct spelling) are both mesopotamian deities. Myths. This song is quite simple. We want what we want without considering the consequences. Even what seems good and righteous comes with consequences. Human nature is to take and give nothing. There is no good within any of us since our biggest fault is judging one another which can have severe consequences as ' the hitman '. We're rotten to the core.
