Demons Lyrics
Clouds pass over the moon
Like an eye that shows impending doom
Tension in this misty air
Souls pass into the room
Drawn in by a lost memory
You will join them in the moonlight
You are my offering
Your soul transcends
The centuries of pain
Your misery in life
Is your ecstasy in death
Time passes like the wind
As we race to beat days dusky grin
Mornings just a moment away
Your body glistens in candlelight
As we all look on in fiendish delight
The ritual is just beginning
Come fulfill the prophecy
With our demons of debauchery
As virgins and spectres sing
This madness will never cease
In the dead of night
You will follow
In the footsteps of many others
Who have come before
I will show you the altar
Your Aztec eyes, Egyptian hair
Your beauty bestoved upon my lair
I've loved you before, in other lives
But you've never meant as much to me
Never meant as much to me as now
In this night of sacrifice
where blood is spilt
That will never spill again
But in your linen robes
We want you now
We want you now
You could never ask for more than that
You are my offering
Your soul transcends
The centuries of pain
Your misery in life
Is your ecstasy in
Come fulfill the prophecy
With our demons of debauchery
This madness will never cease
Like an eye that shows impending doom
Tension in this misty air
Souls pass into the room
Drawn in by a lost memory
You will join them in the moonlight
Your soul transcends
The centuries of pain
Your misery in life
Is your ecstasy in death
As we race to beat days dusky grin
Mornings just a moment away
Your body glistens in candlelight
As we all look on in fiendish delight
The ritual is just beginning
Come fulfill the prophecy
With our demons of debauchery
As virgins and spectres sing
This madness will never cease
You will follow
In the footsteps of many others
Who have come before
I will show you the altar
Your Aztec eyes, Egyptian hair
Your beauty bestoved upon my lair
I've loved you before, in other lives
But you've never meant as much to me
Never meant as much to me as now
where blood is spilt
That will never spill again
But in your linen robes
We want you now
We want you now
You could never ask for more than that
Your soul transcends
The centuries of pain
Your misery in life
Is your ecstasy in
Come fulfill the prophecy
With our demons of debauchery
This madness will never cease

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
It means that we ourselves felt rage and hate to others, example: racism, thus we wanna sarifice them and say life is better without them, so on and on we go with swirling rage and raising anger, when will we stop? NO ONES KNOWS!!!
i love this song.. probably because the offspring are my favorite band.. why hasn't anyone commented yet?
It's all about ritual sacrifice
It's all about ritual sacrifice
Uhm... maybe it's about the Aztec culture, which made human sacrifices "Your Aztec eyes"
several lyrics websites list this song as Demons (A Mexican Fiesta) so does Wikipedia Fiesta=Party Ironic
But it makes sense to me
"You are my offering Your soul transcends The centuries of pain Your misery in life Is your ecstasy in death" They believed that if they died this way they'd became semi-gods
"I've loved you before, in other lives But you've never meant as much to me Never meant as much to me as now " To them, it was an honor to offer their blood to their gods
And well, that's my interpretarion
I just checked a scan from the lyric sheet included with the original LP i don't know if the CD has it too, as i unfortunately don't own that one and yes, it says Demons (A Mexican Fiesta) http://www.discogs.com/image/R-582384-1238118703.jpeg the resolution is not that good but it can be seen if you zoom it in
it about aztec sacrifices
I love all offspring songs... except for this one. It's racist and shows his lack of culture, if he's going to write about historical events he should at least know a little of what he's talking about.
This song is shit, seriously
