Wrought On This Holiday's Eve Lyrics
Now we, awake, bathed in glowing white
Anticipation gripping with this morning's promised sights
One had come up missing while we rubbed our weary eyes
We wonder where our father could have been throughout the night
Captured, we watch you
Writhing to escape
Exposed, exposed, for all your crooked ways
Captured, we watch you
Writhing to escape
So save your breath
We celebrate this ending to your reign
Your look, it betrays you
You've no excuse to claim
10 AM, it came and went as we waited and we waited for
The smell of harlots fume, exuding from your skin
One last seduction
'Twas the night
Before you met your end
Captured, we watch you
Writhing to escape
Exposed, exposed, for all your crooked ways
Captured, we watch you
Writhing to escape
So save your breath
We celebrate this ending to your reign
You want to sow all your seeds in dirty deeds
But retribution's coming like four black steeds
You want to sow all your seeds in dirty deeds
But retribution's coming like four black steeds
His justice cometh quickly for the secrets in your sleeves
For indiscretions wrought on this Holiday's eve
Captured, we watch you
Writhing to escape
Exposed, exposed, for all your crooked ways
Captured, we watch you
Writhing to escape
So save your breath
We celebrate this ending to your reign
Anticipation gripping with this morning's promised sights
One had come up missing while we rubbed our weary eyes
We wonder where our father could have been throughout the night
Writhing to escape
Exposed, exposed, for all your crooked ways
Captured, we watch you
Writhing to escape
So save your breath
We celebrate this ending to your reign
You've no excuse to claim
10 AM, it came and went as we waited and we waited for
The smell of harlots fume, exuding from your skin
One last seduction
'Twas the night
Before you met your end
Writhing to escape
Exposed, exposed, for all your crooked ways
Captured, we watch you
Writhing to escape
So save your breath
We celebrate this ending to your reign
But retribution's coming like four black steeds
But retribution's coming like four black steeds
His justice cometh quickly for the secrets in your sleeves
For indiscretions wrought on this Holiday's eve
Writhing to escape
Exposed, exposed, for all your crooked ways
Captured, we watch you
Writhing to escape
So save your breath
We celebrate this ending to your reign

Schwab really issues the verbal beatdown on infidelity, especially concerning some father figure. I wonder if someone in his life gave him cause for this.
hm, it would appear so.

this song sounds like it's about a father who has been irresponsible toward his children and have not taken care of him as he should. sounds like he was out either with prostitutes or having an affair with another woman. ("The smell of harlots fume, exuding from your skin/One last seduction/'Twas the night/Before you met your end.")

(because "...under these anxious darkening heavens no deed goes unheard and no deed is without compensation..." QUICK! p86 fans, what's that quote from?)
the singer of the song has no remorse for the father being caught. when someone is doing wrong and you are aware of it, you feel kind of relieved when they get caught because it's no longer a burden for you. that seems to be what this song it about. correct me if you will, i'm all ears.

"A TEXT MESSAGE TO THE SO-CALLED EMPEROR"!!!!!! yay, i win! when i first heard this song, i thought it might be about a son finding his dad eating santa's cookies since it's on their Christmas EP, and the son dealing with his disillusionment that santa's not real. i figured that was a stretch and probably not what it was about, but still thought it'd be hilarious if it was.
