Red Sun No. 5 Lyrics
I'd been living through days
Carrying no burden
But the shit of cattle
And my resignation
Until the sun rose crimson
Crept across my limbs and
I saw that they were earthen
That they decay and worsen
And from my ginger chest, there
Came the sound of thunder
I am not a father
I am not a farmer
I tremble to speak of it.
Held her in my arms and
Pressed her to my heart and
Pressed my hand o'er her lips
I murmured words of his love
I will be his baron
With him I have an ending
With him I have completion
And the cover of night
Carrying no burden
But the shit of cattle
And my resignation
Crept across my limbs and
I saw that they were earthen
That they decay and worsen
Came the sound of thunder
I am not a father
I am not a farmer
Held her in my arms and
Pressed her to my heart and
Pressed my hand o'er her lips
I will be his baron
With him I have an ending
With him I have completion
And the cover of night

Correct lyrics from the cd booklet:

The album's about a farmer called lewis, and i think in this song he's realised that he's living a bit of a lie, and that the words he says to his wife are that which he says to his lover, who is a man so they can only be together under 'the cover of night'. maybe...
i get the sense that he just thinks his entire being is that of a server to his god. i think "HIS LOVE" is Owen's.

I think he's having an epiphany about the worth of his life and that it is meaningless without devotion to Lewis, as you both suggest. So he is kind of saying goodbye to his wife before he begins his clerical life.

this song is about having a gay relationship with a God? sort of. and why subsuming oneself to a deity is fucked up? I think, or close. in context of the album, yes.
