An Archangel in bondage
Bediademed, souled
With a murder of ravens
But no less Astarte to behold

Abandoned by Heaven
To the dead, dark and past
Cast her dispersions
On life's brittle glass

And though her eyes still held fire
As stonewalls caged the beast
'Gainst the lassitudes of Death
She fought but fell to greet

And midst lies in collusion
She was martyred to teach
That Divinity and Lust
Are forever forbidden to meet

But I swore that they would
Before the veil could part our embrace
Twixt her cold, silent hips, I kissed
And promised Christendom in flames

Gravid with madness
Like a feculent dirge
That obsesses the heart
I am convened by words

To avenge her Ebon splendor and surrender
My soul to the dead to achieve
Prophecies of libidinous scourge
Horripilation braying over carious herds

Vexing nightmares
And their weak prayers
To a no one there
To hinder her decree
To weed the world of their disease

As shadows unblind mine eyes to see
The meat that is their congregation
How they plead to the skies
But this is mere foreplay to war

Scar-riddled saffron eves bleed like the conjugal
Vestal daughters giving throat to the priest
A psychophant, the despoiler of faith
Now his skinless crucifixion feeds a winged diocese

For her interred
I tore a battle banner from his hide
Splashed in red goetia
Hues of Hell and deicide

So came the night
Its obsidian light
Is a master whom disasters
Suck upon like concubines

And under black skirts
That whisper of delight
Dark seeds near fruition
Darked deeds to marry mine

In Death's bed, I have lain
Paying lip-service to shame
But for dreaming of thee, I regain
A reason to seek life again

Then we smite the divine
For our true nature is sin
To strip tender flesh from these swine
Like the lick of carnivorous winds

The breath of the storm that begins
By forcing its Herod tongue in
The womb of the Holy Virgin
To taste of immaculate sin

From temptation's peak, we will see
The world unfurled at last
Now the wolves of time who stalk mankind
Shall be as one in grim repast

Commemorating sickle moons
The pack are poised to reap
A scythe of white roses in bloom
Whose twisted thorns will keep

A crown upon a dead man
Daylights crucified in sleep
And lives that hide in scriptured lies
To the memories of a scream

And we shall dance amid the ruin
As Adam and Evil
Dizzy at the falling stars
That burn fiercer in throes of upheaval

If all must we damn for this moment
Then it shall be so
For our souls have crossed oceans of time
To clasp one another more tightly
Than Death could alone

As Zyklon beats reign to make carrion crawl
The talons of lust rake a clarion call
To the lick of carnivorous winds
To the lick of carnivorous winds

Gravid with madness
Like a feculent dirge
That obsesses the heart
I am convened by words

To avenge her Ebon splendor and surrender
My soul to the dead to achieve
Prophecies of libidinous scourge
Horripilation braying over carious herds

Vexing nightmares
And their weak prayers
To a no one there
To hinder her decree
To weed the world of their disease

As shadows unblind mine eyes to see
The meat that is their congregation
[Incomprehensible]

    I love this song, I think it's about a deal Dani has made with the spectred spirit of Erzsebet Bathory, to 'promise Christendom in flames'. Assuming Midian, From the Cradle to Enslave and Nymphetamine were made to distract attention away from his true plot and make Dani appear to be a image-obsessed goth singer, Christendom should be burning soon.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Album art
Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Album art
Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
