The Angels (Cruciform) Lyrics
Rubella, my love, some say we shall overcome
But the sickness bites hard
And yes, the razor's old
Their poisons braced in surrender
Killed every first born son
We were kneeling, dressed for burial,
Reaching for the knave
Heard voices laugh in the spirit at the
Plight of the living dead
A ghost at the bottom of my glass
Made it clear what they had said
"His devil's heart in a tinderbox,
This dog has turned away"
Well, I can't remember god when I'm...
And I'm drunk all day
(Chorus)
Before I leave you, bring the demons on
Your beauty sleep brought to mind
A fever hung on the midwife's jaw
(Chorus) repeat
Some said I was wrong to dream that way
And some made light of death and sorrow
But death is glory...now
But the sickness bites hard
And yes, the razor's old
Their poisons braced in surrender
Killed every first born son
We were kneeling, dressed for burial,
Reaching for the knave
Heard voices laugh in the spirit at the
Plight of the living dead
A ghost at the bottom of my glass
Made it clear what they had said
"His devil's heart in a tinderbox,
This dog has turned away"
Well, I can't remember god when I'm...
And I'm drunk all day
(Chorus)
Before I leave you, bring the demons on
Your beauty sleep brought to mind
A fever hung on the midwife's jaw
(Chorus) repeat
Some said I was wrong to dream that way
And some made light of death and sorrow
But death is glory...now

Would "Rubella" (as in the illness) make more sense in this song, than "Rebel"
The lyrics sound more like:
"Your beauty sleep brought to mind the fever hung on the midwife's jaw"
Can someone include the song "Mother"? I love that one, and I would like to know what other pp think about the meaning of that song. Thank you.
