Gamma Ray Heart of the Unicorn (03)

In my opinion this is one of the best songs Gamma Ray ever made!

Lyrics
Heart of the Unicorn (by Kai Hansen)

Masters are relentless, torture is for slaves
Money, greed and power drives you to obey
Temperature is rising, shakes me to the core
Blood and domination, victims of the law

When bloody angels spread their wings

We're drowning in madness, the heart of the Unicorn...
Dwelling in sadness, the heart of the Unicorn...
...is dead

I see the demons rising, beyond their sleeping void
Deep and down the masters take them to the light
Their piercing rays are blazing, obliterating fast
All dreams are torn to pieces, vaporized at last

When bloody angels spread their wings

We're drowning in madness, the heart of the Unicorn...
Dwelling in sadness, the heart of the Unicorn...
...is dead

I scan the dead horizon, illuminated curse
In squished imagination, catastrophies unfurl
Beyond the cataclysm, a dream of Unicorns
The purest heart in heaven, stabbed by poisoned thorns

Bloody angels, searing with fire-turn to dust

All through the millenniums, I've seen the writing on the wall
Into our oblivion, we are the riders on the storm

We're drowning in madness, the heart of the Unicorn...
Dwelling in sadness, the heart of the Unicorn...
...is dead

Beware - all dead
No light - all dead
No dreams - all dead
No life - you're dead

supposedly, noah left behind unicorns when he made his ark... this is suppose to symbolize the "death" of our sub conscience... and now we have the age of science,

matter over mind instead of mind over matter-

therefore the heart of the unicorn is dead because the spirituality in man is all gone... the individual is scrutinized while the government wants all humans to be "hiveminded" besides a select few... killuminati for life peace to everyone else

[lazyredhead]

should of been the song in robot unicorn attack heavy metal

[EnterTheTurmoil]

who cares its basically a painkiller tribute, so what it kicks fucking ass

[masterdog29]

Amazing

[ChickenMuppet]

back in 2003 i used to blast this album and all my friends gave me shit but they eventually came around to loving it. power metal is fuckin tits, no matter how old i get.

[DeatrusTV]

The solo's remind me of one of Blind Guardians song's

[DioandMaiden]

@PushandillPushback I think regardless of his interpretation he has the right idea. It is about innocence in decline and or is killed off. Logically. There are other side themes one can think of, but his theme is right.

i wasn't so sure about this album and band before but today i gave it a try and so far im impress with the singing lyrics and everything so i like it :D

[DukeTwicep]

@PushandillPushback Unless you have talked to the band member themselves I don't think you're in the position to say that the lyrics has nothing to do with scripture (except in vague ways). Lyrics are interpreted different by everyone, there isn't really any objective, or "only", meaning/interpretation. Music is an art.

damncharge's interpretation was very poetic, and perhaps ironic.

Human's didn't always do science, by the way.

i remember Painkiller /../

[tyrintir]
