Samael - The Cross

Samael
The Cross
Live 2002
Album: Eternal
See also: Aeonics

"The title is so strong that it almost sounds cheap. I wouldn't have been able to write it earlier in our career, but then it was more a need than a desire that inspired the lyrics.
The words and music connected in a way that initially led us to name the album after that song. It was only after the recording was finally done that we thought Eternal would be more appropriate."

@lordsavior100 you are a man that has been clearly brainwashed by religious people, let's talk someday when you actually have your own voice instead of saying what old books and people say :)

´TILL WE MEET AGAIN...(also a Samael's song)

[Asmodi666]

@TurkFeBi77

Der Release von Eternal (Die EP, wo "The Cross" drauf ist) war 1999

Der von Carlo, Cokxxx, Nutten (Buärks, schon der Name) war 2001

Erklär mir mal, wie Samael DAS bewerkstelligen konnte

Oh, Moment... Klar

Samael kann die Zukunft voraussehen, was? xD

[TurkFeBi77]

Das ist doch von Bushido geklaut bei seinem Song (Bushido - Behindert) ist es die gleiche Melodie...

[rockhuszar]

Kibaszott jó!!!

@80732288 It's about both actually, we had some serious trouble, even civil war because of religion (catholics vs protestants) in switzerland...

"Helvetia gloria, still smile behind the shade of shame, cross your faith, join your hands, tomorrow holds another day..." Looks to me like a call to overcome religion without completely negating it since it is part of our culture

(Helvetia being the latin name for switzerland)

Vorph lyrics are and will always be dark. It is part of his mind and writing evolution from typical devil black metal writing to a thinking and elite dark lyricist. Now, his lyrics are more mind provoking and he invites his listeners to think and not just headbang to the beats. This is not your typical Dimmu Borgir!

[TorchOfHeraclitus]

@lordsavior100 Spread your filth elsewhere.

[graphomet]

yes kick arse bang ur heads fuckers!

[80732288]

@Diegog5 The lyrics is not really about christianity. It's about Switzerland, Samael's home country.
