Two Faces of the Coin

"Trying to find a way, Getting better every day

And I got you now I'm not alone

All I need in this life is one,

One thing to believe in

I've seen many a face, From young and too old

I've stolen their faith and I have broken their souls

Was here before Christ had forgave you your sins

And paid your price and sealed your fate within

Days have come to an end..

Today's the day that we meet again

The self inflicted inebriation:

Guilt never lies

I've been waiting for the chance to reunite this sick romance

Poison never hurt so good

So nice of you to speak of me, your closest friend and enemy

An only savior of masochists

Well it's the dead end slave, from the alter to the grave

It's the last days of our life

The faith of men

Time, its been so long, and now there's nothing to say

I'm trying so hard to find the words to say

I'm tired of being, now I'm something I'm not

I can't believe and I never thought

Days would come to an end

Well maybe someday we'll meet again,

If ever that day never comes, it would be too soon

My love

I've been waiting for the chance To nullify this sick romance

Pull the cord to detonate

So sick of you, don't speak of me, a represent of misery

An only savior of masochists

Well it's the dead end slave, from the alter to the grave

It's the last days of our life

Well it's the dead end slave, from the alter to the grave

It's the last days of our life

The faith of men

Now I've found a way, getting better every day

And I got you now I'm not alone,

All I need in this life is one, One thing to believe in"

A song. A pop-rock song by a band I like. A passionate song, sung with emotion in the music, "ooooh"s in the background by the members of the band, even some added instruments like one of those key-board like piano wannabe things and even some deep, church-bells in the background. Most of the people who write about this song, on forums or lyrics pages, tag it as a terrific song, powerful and all that. Like most pop-rock songs, they think it's about relationships, or love and some such stuff. I used to think that too, in fact, I still kinda do. Cept... I had a thought.

Imagine the song is about, or sung by rather, Lucifer. Yeah, I got bug-eyed too. Go back and re-read the lyrics again. I'll wait here.

Back yet? I don't know if the band was intending to have this kind of meaning when they wrote it, but it certainly changes my view on it. I also think it makes a lot of sense. If Satan were to come raging at you with Hardcore death metal in the background, I think we'd all run away screaming. Though a passionate song with emotional music that talks about "love" and "relationship" in it, Satan would have a better argument. Let's face it: everyone sins. In a way, we all have a 'relationship' to Ol' Scratch, though hopefully, it involves lots of ignoring and discernment. Our twisted and sick 'romance' with sin.

After all, isn't sinning just misplaced Love?

Think about it.
