Malice Through the Looking Glass
Echoes of Tragic Loss
Lyrics
Take away the wine
Removing the distraction of wine
For restlessness plagues me
Feeling unsettled or agitated
I am assailed by a spectre profounder
Confronted by a profound and haunting presence
Than hatred and grief or the sum of their hideous crime
Describing the intensity of the specter surpassing hatred and grief
I shalt suffer this confessional mime
Enduring a confessional performance or admission of guilt
Awaiting the sun to set, crimsoning seas
Anticipating the sunset and the reddening of the seas
Only once it is dark doth my misery cease
Experiencing relief from misery only in darkness
She died to a sky dressed in flame
Referring to a woman who died under a fiery sky
Eyes full of curses for her killers by choice
Her eyes filled with curses for those who chose to kill her
Who fell to their god o'er her vision and voice
The killers worshiped their god over her vision and voice
"I am as dusk come to ravish the light"
Expressing arrival like dusk conquering the light
Steal me from their stares and mute Christ into night
Asking to be rescued from judgmental gazes and to silence Christ into the night
"I will answer thy prayers"
Promising to answer prayers
If thou Wouldst drink of my life
If one desires to partake in the speaker's life
Encroaching evening skies
Describing approaching night skies
Die with such tragedy
Death occurring with great sorrow
And those interred in cold graves
Those buried in cold graves pondering future pleasures
Dwell on pleasures to be
Reflecting on anticipated joys in the afterlife
In deep hysteria
In a state of profound emotional disturbance
Where our legend still breathes
Where the legend of the speaker persists
Through sweet death and thereafter
Continuing through the sweet release of death and beyond
Sweeping nightmares shalt feed
Nightmares intensify and nourish the speaker's existence
