This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
For what I was
I'm doomed to be
The tempter and the secret foe
Cause I am hell and hell is me
Pure hate will grow
Still I claim to be the chosen one
And still I claim this rebellion is rising
First amongst equals
We're bound to no law
There's noone before us
Ethereal sons now disobey
Awake and arise
You'll be free
How can we take it away from someone who has no right
No right to control the divine
Night shall invade, suspicion awakes
Wherefore he's greater than I
Stay silent
Until the end of the world
So just like slaves we may deem him
Dead silence
Until the end of the world
Hence from this moment we're doomed
I feel
It hurts though
Disburdened spirits we will be
I've learned my lession
Pure and sore
An offer divine
We're far beneath them
They consider us slaves
They steal our pride
Don't trust them blindly
Cause truth they conceal
As it seems
I'll reign
Cause here in my tower
Impassioned, I'll show you a way
I can feel hallowed rage
Now enter my realm
Awake and arise
You'll be free
How can we take it away from someone who has no right
No right to control the divine
Night shall invade, suspicion awakes
Wherefore he's greater than I
Descend, just keep moving
All things shall proceed
It's freedom you're choosing
Preserve our hate
Eternalize
Awake and arise
You'll be free
How can we take it away from someone who has no right
No right to control the divine
Night shall invade, suspicion awakes
Wherefore he's greater than I
How can we take it away from someone who has no right
No right to control the divine
Night shall invade, suspicion awakes
Wherefore he's greater than I
I'm doomed to be
The tempter and the secret foe
Cause I am hell and hell is me
Pure hate will grow
Still I claim to be the chosen one
And still I claim this rebellion is rising
First amongst equals
We're bound to no law
There's noone before us
Ethereal sons now disobey
Awake and arise
You'll be free
How can we take it away from someone who has no right
No right to control the divine
Night shall invade, suspicion awakes
Wherefore he's greater than I
Stay silent
Until the end of the world
So just like slaves we may deem him
Dead silence
Until the end of the world
Hence from this moment we're doomed
I feel
It hurts though
Disburdened spirits we will be
I've learned my lession
Pure and sore
An offer divine
We're far beneath them
They consider us slaves
They steal our pride
Don't trust them blindly
Cause truth they conceal
As it seems
I'll reign
Cause here in my tower
Impassioned, I'll show you a way
I can feel hallowed rage
Now enter my realm
Awake and arise
You'll be free
How can we take it away from someone who has no right
No right to control the divine
Night shall invade, suspicion awakes
Wherefore he's greater than I
Descend, just keep moving
All things shall proceed
It's freedom you're choosing
Preserve our hate
Eternalize
Awake and arise
You'll be free
How can we take it away from someone who has no right
No right to control the divine
Night shall invade, suspicion awakes
Wherefore he's greater than I
How can we take it away from someone who has no right
No right to control the divine
Night shall invade, suspicion awakes
Wherefore he's greater than I

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
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,
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I'm not half as nerdy as I'd need to be to understand the things Blind Guardian references, but is this maybe about Dune? The "divine" being the spice, the person they're rebelling against being Pedofatman Baron Harkonnen, the awakening and arising folks being the Fremen? Also, he says he'll reign, like Paul Atreides, and "night invades" could be the Fremen moving during night.
But then, the focus on hatred really doesn't match up, and I'm pretty sure each of these songs is tailor-made to fit the referenced stories down to the last detail. So I could be wrong.
