By The Banks Of Pandemonium
Reflections on Chaos and Innocence
Lyrics
I urged for a walk in the garden on a tranquil
I desired a peaceful walk in the garden
Dawn in June The silence caused by man himself
The quietness caused by humanity itself on a June morning
And chaos by the moon The snake was dragged
Chaos brought about by the moon
In leather black - as draped in common conscience
A snake, symbolically draped in common conscience
Aestethically he crawled away from a neighborhood
An aesthetically pleasing snake moving away from a nonsensical community
Of nonsense
Materialized a howling dog neglected by the
A howling dog, ignored by the ship's log, disciplined into submission
Captain's log and flogged into obedience
Now considered a brother
- Now he's my brother too
Down along the banks there was this brittle, little
Along the riverbanks, a fragile girl, unwilling to be released into a chaotic world
Girl that never begged to be released into a
Derailed world Being chained to the lies of
Chained to the lies of a universal order, now like the snake
A universal order she's now - like the snake +
Dog - my innocent, pre-whacked brother
The girl, like the snake and dog, is portrayed as innocent, pre-affected kin
But the grass is still green
Despite the turmoil, nature remains unaffected
- If you know what I mean
Symbolic meaning suggesting resilience
(Just like the blood runs red
Comparing the persistence of life to the inevitability of death
And you know you are a-dying)
With a head filled to the brim
A mind full of their authorized lead (control)
Of their legalized lead
For when the heat becomes to heavy
In challenging times, they will abandon the situation
They will pack their bags and leave
You easily reveal the sins of brothers so naive
Exposed easily are the naive sins of brothers
(This fable is a damned one - you will damn it, believe...)
This story is cursed, and you will curse it, believe it
