its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Falling underneath again
Enchanted words of evil men
Wills will bow and wills will bend
Prayers against my will I send
Falling where I cannot stand
Descending into depths again
Prayers into the breach I send
When flesh grows thick
The blood flows thin
Knees they bow and knees they bend
Scream my soul into the wind
Not by the power of man
But by the power of the living God
The power that preserves
Beneath the hate beneath deceit
I will rise
I will rise up!
On the precipice again
Falling where I cannot stand
Scream my soul into the wind
Flesh grows thick and blood flows thin
Falling underneath again
Not by the power of man
But by the power of the living God
The power that forgives
Beneath the weight beneath defeat
You will rise
You will rise up!
In our final hour
You display Your POWER
Now through the death of the Son of God
And through the powerlessness of man
Despite the world and its disbelief
He will rise!
He will rise!
Enchanted words of evil men
Wills will bow and wills will bend
Prayers against my will I send
Falling where I cannot stand
Descending into depths again
Prayers into the breach I send
When flesh grows thick
The blood flows thin
Knees they bow and knees they bend
Scream my soul into the wind
Not by the power of man
But by the power of the living God
The power that preserves
Beneath the hate beneath deceit
I will rise
I will rise up!
On the precipice again
Falling where I cannot stand
Scream my soul into the wind
Flesh grows thick and blood flows thin
Falling underneath again
Not by the power of man
But by the power of the living God
The power that forgives
Beneath the weight beneath defeat
You will rise
You will rise up!
In our final hour
You display Your POWER
Now through the death of the Son of God
And through the powerlessness of man
Despite the world and its disbelief
He will rise!
He will rise!

Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
