I love this song, especially the beginning and the ending. To fully grasp its meaning you'll have to read the book "Within the Ancient Forest" by Andrew Tompkins...
I think that the last verse is beautifully written... |

I like this song a lot... it just expresses the way people who dress "out of the normal" feel a lot of times... |

I guess only the authors will ever know what caused this amount of hatred towards some part of Christianity/the Christian scene... |

I agree. I love this song, although I felt affronted by the techno elements at first... but the way the musical styles blend is just... amazing. Brilliant work. |

| 21 years ago

The author states that "I have always felt that it is a tragically sad song that leads to no conclusive answers yet poses many questions. At the heart of the song lies the single most common human emotion, loneliness." (taken from the Synopsis cd booklet) |

According to the author, "a cryptic exploration of sanity in the midst of spiritual revelation. This intense yet atmospheric song was written in early 1990 during a time of great trial and transition in my life.

hmmm.... lots of samples from "The Exorcist"... the Our Father... disturbing noises and voices... religious confusion... the ideal intro for "The Stand"! |

| Saviour Machine – The Gates Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
|
I don't know about that... I think it's meant as a musical bridge/introduction to the more "confusing" part of SM II, beginning with "Enter the Idol". Note that in SM I the narrator stated, "and soon prepare to pass through the beautiful _gates_ of symbolic conviction..." |

| Saviour Machine – The Wicked Window Lyrics

Hmmm.... the prevalence of mass media?
...if this song weren't so old, I'd say it's filled with allusions to the first "Matrix" movie... too bad. |

| Saviour Machine – The Mask Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
hmmm..
"Lurking in the doorway
I saw him hang by the power
Covered in scabs
Covered in scabs
Covered in faceless Masks of men"
I wonder... Could this be a reference to Christ, and the way man-made religion tends to cover up his true nature? |

An invitation into the epic world of the Legend Trilogy, involving several allusions to the "Our Father" and other Biblical passages. |

| Virgin Black – Lamenting Kiss Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
I think it's pretty much open to interpretations. The author says that the lines
"I held hope's hand
But let her forsake me
May I be faithful
To hold onto yours"
pretty much sum up what it's about.
God bringing new hope to a world of hopelessness. |

| Virgin Black – I Sleep With The Emperor Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
I agree that it expresses an individual's longing for God.
At the same time, I don't think any expression of a certain doctrine (as you descibed) is intended... it has a lot more to do with emotions. |
