This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
In the fire, the king will come
Thunder rolls, piper and drum
Evil sons, overrun
Count their sins judgment comes
The checkerboard of Knights and Knaves
Man will die, man be saved
The sky will fall, the earth will pray
When judgment comes to claim its day
See the word of the prophet
On a stone of his hand
Poison pen revelation
Or just a sign in the sand?
The checkerboard of Knights and Knaves
Man will die, man be saved
The sky will fall, the earth will pray
When judgment comes to claim its day
See the word of the prophet
On a stone of his hand
Poison pen revelation
Or just a sign in the sand?
Thunder rolls, piper and drum
Evil sons, overrun
Count their sins judgment comes
The checkerboard of Knights and Knaves
Man will die, man be saved
The sky will fall, the earth will pray
When judgment comes to claim its day
See the word of the prophet
On a stone of his hand
Poison pen revelation
Or just a sign in the sand?
The checkerboard of Knights and Knaves
Man will die, man be saved
The sky will fall, the earth will pray
When judgment comes to claim its day
See the word of the prophet
On a stone of his hand
Poison pen revelation
Or just a sign in the sand?

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
I once read the boys were stocked away on some farm when they came up with the lyrics and songs on Argus. Maybe someone began witnessing to them about the Bible or one of them (Martin, Ted, Andy or Steve) sat outside at night and stared up at a full sky of stars and began wondering about their existence and previous Bible thoughts. Anyway, only they know for sure. It sure sounds like, though, that the second coming of the king (Jesus Christ) was on their mind, and a basic understanding of Armageddeon was in the thinking processes. There is some doubt, though, about the prophecy being real (poison pen) or just conjecture (sign in the sand) to be wiped away by the waves of time, so, are we simply bacteria on this small rock 93 million miles from an insignificant star in a routine galaxy, or are we the product or our Creator who has provided everything for us to live and have a bright future (paradise on earth) I prefer to believe in and have faith in the later.
Otherwide, our existence in moot.
