Anthema Lyrics
Girl: "love you" she said as though it were true
"falling head over heels into you,
now I am pregnant with our baby boy forever your lover...and suffer"
baby boy: "giver of life and the nail in my soul this is anthema,
the story grows old still the same boy that was sewn from your ground,
it's the weight of you pulling me down"
boy: "i love you" he said and knew it was true
girl: "I can't be in this marriage with you now
this is our second child in my womb no longer your lover and sufferer"
baby boy: "rivers of love and a trust so betrayed this is anthema the bed that we've made,
still the same boy that was sewn from your ground,
it's the weight of you pulling me down
and you lie as the vultures surround the height that I push up
my halo could come crushing like a wave...
giver of life and the nail in my soul, this is anthema the story grows old,
still the same boy that was screaming inside
pushing my youth through the years of my life...
forever we trust in forever this sound it's the weight of you pulling me down.
It's anthema my voice and this sound"

This song is incredible.
I like this song...but what the fuck is Anthema?? did they mean Anathema (hate)?
this is my favorite song on the album!! i guess they could mean anathema since it kinda fits the theme of the song but i have no idea.
anthema - Synonym: exanthema.
Origin: G. Anthein, to blossom
The song seems very simple. First a marriage in happyness and a child, then the marriage turns sour and the children are caught in the amidst the turmoil. The title is fitting, because of what the children could blossom into because of this situation, as they seem to be the focus of the song.
yes this song is super great and i can see how it would have that particular message of seperation and how the children can be tangled in the situation of seperation. whatever happend to loudermilk though...i know they have some other band but i forgot what there called. anyone know??
Loudermilk was underrated from the start. I apologize to for never buying their album...
loudermilk launched another album under the name gosling..apparently their music has progressed since the red record, reckon it'd be worth a listen.
