Daylight adorn her withering lifeforce
with a long lost river
that mend all her woe in its flow
May I redeem my funereal self
in thy mirror of soul sanctorum
to frame every night a delight
Thou stalk the ground, the sea and the winds around
to haunt me down profound when the night surrounds
Thou stalk the Stygian stream and the riverine
to haunt my hallowed fields and astrayal dreams
I'm at sixes and sevens
in the shade of thy heavens
No moon, nor sun
Meridian
prevail in my oblivion
Come with me to seek the sun inside
Meridian
This time around we dance
We're chosen ones
Thou stalk as the unseen in visions undreamed
to revel in the deep of life's malignity
Thou stalk my manic mind yon it's horizon
to draw that waning sun upon Meridian
Thou art eternal darkness
Thou art eternal heresy
Thou art day and night
Thou art the flame inside
I'll make my misery thy saturnine
with a long lost river
that mend all her woe in its flow
in thy mirror of soul sanctorum
to frame every night a delight
to haunt me down profound when the night surrounds
Thou stalk the Stygian stream and the riverine
to haunt my hallowed fields and astrayal dreams
in the shade of thy heavens
No moon, nor sun
Meridian
prevail in my oblivion
Meridian
This time around we dance
We're chosen ones
to revel in the deep of life's malignity
Thou stalk my manic mind yon it's horizon
to draw that waning sun upon Meridian
Thou art eternal heresy
Thou art day and night
Thou art the flame inside
I'll make my misery thy saturnine

What kind of a review is that?!?! if you can't wrap your mind around poetic artistry then go listen to Britney Spears or something obviously more your speed! This song is easily the best on the album! Part of the attraction of "typical gothic lyrics" is that the listener can put their own interpretation on the music instead of being forced to the writer's. I personally like to think this is a pure vamp song...eternal darkness, eternal heresy...and of course the whole stalking thing.
But the writer was probably (in accordance with the rest of the cd) talking about despair stalking his mind...
Thank you rhenna, obviously afflicted4life IS afflicted with a narrow mind. I see the song as being a depiction of one who is wanting to be reedeemed from the state that they are currently in, poosibly being in a state of mental deterioration. It is saying that the insanity or manica that has infested his mind has forced him or her to a point being at sixes or sevens, meaning they can go either way, down into insanity, or be redeemed back into who they use to be before being infected. But you know, thats just me. I was not high when I found the meaning, so I think that afflicted4life shoud probably stick to the more simple and less talented boy bands like rhenna said.
This is a beautiful song!
Nice song. =)
it looks like some typical gothic lyrics that wont mean much to anyone. unless youre high.
Morten said in an interview that this song was about paranoia...
Beautifully written, I love it.
