Oops my comment got cut off: more on Lucretia :her rape by the Etruscan king's son and consequent suicide were the immediate cause of the revolution that overthrew the monarchy and established the Roman Republic.
To me this song is in that respect one that speaks of lust crimes and crimes done mindlessly in the midst of alcohol & drug abuse "Reasons? There are none" cried the whisky laden brain . Lucretia an example of the height of corruption & crime that was inflicted, better judgement often clouded & usurped by alcohol & drugs as well as just greed and lust. Rape is a cardinal sin in my opinion especially against a woman but most certainly a man too. This song explores sin against the highest moral scale. How the guilty sinner would just go about there ways in disregard of who they may hurt (sail to the stars on your shining desires) speaks to allowing ones darkes lust & desires to lead the way as opposed to better judgement. In conclusion, the song is brilliant & a cautionary tale. Remarkably written lyrically and hauntingly beautiful musically.
@EternalTearsOfSorrow 6 years later but I appreciate your comment if you ever do see this. Dead Can Dance offers something that out right almost doesn't exist now. A mishmash of eclectic genres into something wholly unique and amazing with lryics that have incredibly deep meaning, Im rambling, anyways thank you for your comment.
