Turkish Delight Lyrics
Angels are lost in the sooted fog
Of a million falling dots on a disc of mud
All the closets forgotten
All the lakes are frozen
Well, if internal winter
If internal snow
I'll have a Turkish Delight
I've got the freeze
They offer me holy wine
It gets me through the night
The moon lingers on and shines down
Upon the shroud that covers both the living and the dead
Of a forgotten empire
Better kneel, better kneel down
Before the lady
Shadowing the sun
And if eternal winter
If eternal snow
I'll have a Turkish Delight
I've got the freeze
They offer me holy wine
It's get me through the night
Everybody's hungry for more and more and more
Even though they know that Maugrim is at the door
Everybody thought they could make it on their own
But I've seen them turn into stone
Everybody thought they could make it on their own
But I've seen them turn into stone
Of a million falling dots on a disc of mud
All the closets forgotten
All the lakes are frozen
If internal snow
I'll have a Turkish Delight
I've got the freeze
They offer me holy wine
It gets me through the night
Upon the shroud that covers both the living and the dead
Of a forgotten empire
Better kneel, better kneel down
Before the lady
Shadowing the sun
If eternal snow
I'll have a Turkish Delight
I've got the freeze
They offer me holy wine
It's get me through the night
Even though they know that Maugrim is at the door
Everybody thought they could make it on their own
But I've seen them turn into stone
Everybody thought they could make it on their own
But I've seen them turn into stone

Supposedly this song is about the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Her voice is so haunting and brilliant I couldn't help but buy the whole album after listening to this.
Yeah its about The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe which is a suitably haunting book in its own right but its also an amazing metaphor for our modern world and the way she sings it brings all that home so perfectly; the false God of the White Queen, the bribery of turkish delights and holy wine, I especially "like the ending everyone thinks they can make it on their own but Ive seen them all turn to stone". I was wondering if the album is any good and whether in particular this song sounds as perfect as it does live?
