The Death Of Love Lyrics
Where will you be my darling?
Where will you be they tense for warfare?
Where will you be when God is glorifying?
There we will be between the dead and dying
Where will you be my darling?
Where will you be when God is glorifying?
Prophecies and glory forge a massive disdain
For lying passive in the shadows whilst the enemy reigns
Devoted to the votive, holy standard above
'By command of the king of Heaven'
Came the death of love
Where will you be when they're vilifying?
How will they see when the truth is blinding?
Where will you be my darling?
Where will you be when they're vilifying?
Where will you be when the dark is rising?
How will you keep from it's terrorizing?
Where will you be my darling?
Where will you be when the dark is rising?
Burning was the sunset like a portent of doom
On the saintly iron maiden as she fell from her wound
But visions and ambition
Never listened to submission
And she was on a mission from the highest above
To Lord upon the slaughter
Like a sword through hissing water
She arose where archers sought her
For the death of love
The righteous death of love
Gilles adored her drama
Her suit of pure white armour
Blazed against the English in a torrent of light
And as they rallied onto night
A cancer fled his soul
Dissolving...
Framed amid the thick of fire
Aflame, a Valkyrie
She made him click without desire
And in his eyes she swam a Goddess
And even when they caught her breath
Her words would leave a scar
'For only in the grip of darkness
Will we shine amidst the brightest stars'
How will you breathe when their wheels are turning?
How will you know if the sky is burning?
Where will you be my darling?
How will you breathe when their wheels are turning?
Where will you be when Babel builds my fire?
Will you not flee and label me pariah?
Where will you be my darling?
Where will you be when they light my pyre?
Aligned with Joan in all
That was enthroned and divine
He swore to score the crimes
Jackdaws poured on this dove
Crimes he knew alone
Derived from minds of the blind
The church unfurled for murder perched
Upon the death of love
Framed amid the thick of fire
Aflame, a Valkyrie
She claimed the skies were lit with spires
And in his eyes she swam a Goddess
And even when she fought for breath
Her words would leave a scar
'For only in the grip of darkness
Will we shine amidst the brightest stars'
Where will you be they tense for warfare?
Where will you be when God is glorifying?
There we will be between the dead and dying
Where will you be my darling?
Where will you be when God is glorifying?
For lying passive in the shadows whilst the enemy reigns
Devoted to the votive, holy standard above
'By command of the king of Heaven'
Came the death of love
How will they see when the truth is blinding?
Where will you be my darling?
Where will you be when they're vilifying?
How will you keep from it's terrorizing?
Where will you be my darling?
Where will you be when the dark is rising?
On the saintly iron maiden as she fell from her wound
Never listened to submission
And she was on a mission from the highest above
To Lord upon the slaughter

She arose where archers sought her

Blazed against the English in a torrent of light
A cancer fled his soul

And in his eyes she swam a Goddess

i love this song so much! I'm not too sure about the details, but all i know is that this song is in some way about Joan of Arc.
Best song on the album. Yes, Gilles de Rais was one of Joan's captains - the idea here is that he was so enthralled by her that when she died it drove him mad. This is something that has intrigued many writers over the centuries - this coming together of a saint & (allegedly) the ultimate monster. The truth is probably that Gilles wasn't so black as he's painted, nor Joan so white...
This song is really poetric and combines the romance and drama so perfectly. The femalevocals also makes the song earn that sound also... The growling comes right after the femalevocal fits so perfectly in the song! One of my very favourites!!!
I love this song, though it's far from being the best in the album, again, this is the selling song of the album, even my sister that don't like this kind of music think it's nice... but CoF don't suppose to be nice..

This song have it's role on the album though, the idea is to show that once Gilles was a man of god, and that he knew feelings like love, devotion and sadness, possesing a human heart, before he became the "wolf". In my opinion this is why this song is so soft and non brutal unlike the rest of this awesome album. It also play a part in the conclusion when Gilles return to the embrace of god in the end, it's a very nice circle in which Gilles change his skin and faces.
the song is about Gilles de Rais when he was driven mad by the death of Joan of Arc, whom he was enthralled wioth
Morbid is right. Gilles de Rais was one of Joan of Arc's captains. The song decribes Gilles and Joan as she is led of to be brurned at the stake. Joan says (the female voice) "Where will you be when they light my pyre?" "The Death of Love" speaks to Joan and Gilles alleged romantic involvement. (Most historians believe that this was not likely, but it makes a good story.) When Joan is excecuted. Gilles in a sense becomes mad and thus loses his capacity for love, making him the person that he later becomes. Hence, "The Death of Love".

One of the things that's been played down in biographies of Gilles & (especially!) Jehanne is that we know exactly where he was. He was at Louviers, about 12 miles away, & he had an army with him, so it's likely he was planning a rescue attempt that went wrong. Why wouldn't he? He'd saved her life twice, in battle...
Who the FUCK is that King of Heaven!!??
Whay the fuck this song sound TOO MUCH GREAT ???? x_x
very dark reminds me a little of nymphetamine
by the questions he asks it seems that when he she was captured it was almost like a "cancer fled his soul" almost like he wanted to stop worrying of her "the righteous death of love"
