The Inquisitor

Kamelot

I am a cleric
Serving god, the king and queen
I claim confession
And the belief by any means
Purification heal heretics
Burn the demons out

And god's behind me
Watch my each and every more
You know I'll find you
In the shadow of a shattered moon
Come all you witches
My procedures are approved

Won't you let me ease your sorrow
Let me guide you through the night
All my methods clean and thorough
Don't you fear the light

I reassemble
Broken souls and wasted lives
I raise my head and see
My father through the blood red skies
And in my dreams I know he holds my sanctuary

So all you witches bow to the auto-de-fe
Just close your eyes and listen to my holy say
You disbelievers
Little do you know

Won't you let me ease your sorrow
Purify your poisoned veins
There is yet a new tomorrow
I will ease your pain

Ease your pain
The fire's burning wild
Ease your pain
The inquisition
Has drained the demons
Like I said it would

    absolutely no remorse from this song... unlike the other stuffs from fourth legacy that tackles guilt or weariness, the "inquisitor" is very proud of what he is doing

    i love to sing along with this one

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
