Anasis (Xenophontis) Lyrics
Your warm embrace has been replaced by cold.
And those defiant have fallen.
Broken by the floor another rain-streaked face.
Left alone to drown in malice.
And your bleeding heart can only heal so much.
We can't weather this storm for longing.
And water cannot cleanse the blood from our past.
Can you hear your crying wish?
Because your prayers remain.
Answerless.
Your prayers remain.
In sweet decay.
Your prayers remain.
In this sweet decay.
Your love failed me.
Broken hearts and shattered dreams could never carry your fractured world.
So just throw it all away.
Your love is lost on us.
Just throw it all away.
Your love is lost on us.
And those defiant have fallen.
Broken by the floor another rain-streaked face.
Left alone to drown in malice.
And your bleeding heart can only heal so much.
We can't weather this storm for longing.
And water cannot cleanse the blood from our past.
Can you hear your crying wish?
Because your prayers remain.
Answerless.
Your prayers remain.
In sweet decay.
Your prayers remain.
In this sweet decay.
Your love failed me.
Broken hearts and shattered dreams could never carry your fractured world.
So just throw it all away.
Your love is lost on us.
Just throw it all away.
Your love is lost on us.

Winston on anasasis.. "one of my best friends when i was a kid was part of a VERY religious church. it ruled his family's life. i went a few times to see what it was like and looking back now it was pretty heavy stuff, almost cultish. anyway when he grew up and started seeing the world for what it was he got fucked up. it ruined him. they promised him the world and nothing happened. "
this is the right one. he said that on a interview where he talked about some of the songs from his albums

The title is a reference to the movie The Warriors. The movie/novel is based on the ancient Greek story Anabasis by Xenophon.
One interpertation of this is the effects of closed minded religions on those children who grow up or are forced into the religion, only to find that all they were promised to be true was a lie.

Your love failed me.

i believe this song is actually "anasasis" but yeh i like the guitars in it. also another correction its "and those defiant EYES have fallen" but yeh i think its about a girl who possibly cheated on him. but it gives me mixed msgs everytime i hear it sometimes i think the girls the victim. xenophontis means dislike or fear of foreigner or those who are different. maybe shes hated coz shes different..who knows? my fav line is "YOUR LOVE FAILED ME"
this song is unbeleivable. great lyrics. i cant beleive not many people know this song. its incredible.
Actually, xenophontis is not a word as far as I'm aware. Xenophobia is the fear of foreginers or people who are different.
This song is kinda confusing, i also get the mixed messages that either he could have been betrayed or someone close to him is giving everyone all they can but they are getting pushed away or walked all over or something. "Your warm embrace has been replaced by cold." could be that he was betrayed and someone has done something bad to him. "And your bleeding heart can only heal so much. We can't weather this storm for longing. And water cannot cleanse the blood from our past. Can you hear your crying wish? Because your prayers remain. Answerless." I get that a person who may be close to him is being mistreaded because of difference or something like that. anyway, great great song, at around 2:45 he screams OHHH! most powerful Oh ive ever heard. :] peace.
I believe its about a person he loved but didnt grasp the thought of there being a jesus.. and she wished for the best but it didnt work outt.
The Greek term "anabasis" referred to an expedition from the coastline to the interior of a country. I'm assuming "anasasis" is the English translation. A brilliant song title, in my opinion. This song gives me chills every time I listen to it.
Don't try to read too much into the lyrics. It's a song against religion it's obvious. "Your Prayers Remaim Answerless" etc
i get chills every time i listen to this.
