masterpiece

It is interesting to note the mentioning of the Devil and Hell appears quite a lot on the Secrets of the Beehive album.

The Boy with the gun "summons up the Devil".

"Wishers let the Devil in" from When Poets Dreamed of Angels.

"Guilty as Hell" from Mother and Child.

Oddly, angels are mentioned in two songs and in Orpheus "power struggle between Heaven and Hell" is mentioned.

The album seems to draw upon light and darkness..... such a great artist! Thank you David!
