Junius - "Birth Rites by Torchlight"

[Aedonatwar]

Who are they "quoting" at the beginning of the song... Anyone!! ????

[sbdteekay]

@Aedonatwar Immanuel Velikovsky. A lot of the songs on this album have quotes by him at the beginning or end.

epic song, but it's too short!

[chicoze5]

excuse my ignorance, but who is the man talking in the beginning of the song?

[WipersLegend]

@chicoze5

It's Immanuel Velikovsky.

[bewaretheperil]

"And if I transgressed, and went into many fields of science and humanities, it was not because I was born a reberl. I was coerced to trespass..."

[bewaretheperil]

"The belief that we are living in a orderly universe, that nothing happened to this Earth and other planets since the beginning, that nothing will happen till the end, is a wishful thinking that fills the textbooks... and your textbooks are still of Victorian vintage."

[bewaretheperil]

Why do we call for a sun's rise?

When the raining of fire will atone

Born on the floor, it's our birthright

Facing the spires of control

[bewaretheperil]

The belfry calls out to our fathers

To lead us all down to our knees

Silence is bred with conversion

The chimes ring out our defeat

[bewaretheperil]

{You know that we try hard}

God dares... waits, oh!

My fate awakes, oh!

[DerAllerLiebsteAlex]

Is it just me or does this song sound like "When Doves Cry" in some parts? By the way, epic song and band!

[dreamorigami]

[KSCIAA]
