Kamelot - The zodiac

Compilation of the videos : Rule the world , Ghost Opera, The haunting, love you to death.

album - poetry for the poisoned (2010)
Metal Melodico

She was so kind to me
She sang her little shadow song
And I could not resist it
Bitter blood, come sing along

With your hand upon the bible
Would you swear that is the truth?
(The whole truth and the truth alone)

If she had only shut her mouth

Shattered memories of quiet cold rejection
A careful devil's irony in pure perfection
In pure deceit

You ask me
Was it all I had to tell?
Was it all I could recall?

Know that I broke her neck
A twisted china white visage
I may seem unaffected
But don't we all want to be god?
[From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/k/kamelot-lyrics/the-zodiac-lyrics.html ]

Is it all you can remember?
Would you swear it on your life?

You will never really know my name without reflection
A careful devil's irony in pure perfection
In pure deceit

But in the moment it's so beautiful
Flow along with a hunger
With the nature of the beast

These are shattered memories of quiet cold rejection
A careful devil's irony in pure perfection
You will never really know my name without reflection
A careful devil's irony in pure perfection
In pure deceit

Seriously, guys? This song is not about "finding the killer without looking inside" or that "the killer could be anyone, even you".... it's about one of America's most infamous serial killer (still at large, by the way!), the Zodiac killer, who terrorized the San Francisco/Bay Area in the 70s. The line "You will never really know my name without reflection" is an allusion to the taunting letters the Zodiac sent to the police and the press, teasing that if his letters were deciphered... [cont.]

[LittleLotte000]

...or his cyphers ever broken, his identidy would be known. Heck, the song was preceded by a narration of a letter the Zodiac sent to the San Francisco Chornicle. "Reflection", in this context, is NOT what you see in the mirror... it's simply another word for "thoroughly thinking through" or "thoughtful rumination". Please dont' undermind great writing with your emo bullshit.

And learn your history.

Thanks.

the funny part about that top comment is, that its wrong XD because kamelot has a story behind the songs. Their own made songs, so dont assume.

Why are the drums always off..freaking editors, attention to details man..sure the sync is off on youtube, but seriously, even in the movies you see it, they never get the drums to look in sync wtf...

@LittleLotte000 Sounds like Jack the Ripper.

@adegeiz I agree, this isn't really Kamelot... think about it, they're named Kamelot because they have that midieval sound to them, but their more recent stuff is more just... progressive metal, I suppose. They're still awesome though xD
