on bended knees we pray for war, a blade draws blood but often tarnishes
through blazing eyes i see new sunsets, sky now breaking different shades of red
we pray for blades, ablazing locusts call for wars to wet the earth
to cover the world in black and bracken, flaming stubble with churchbell battles
and then i lie in the arms of a smiling girl who prays to christ and the pale
queens mighty in sorrow
mighty in sorrow
mighty in sorrow
mighty in sorrow
mighty in sorrow
when did i stand before i touched the shadows of this life that touch the dark
and dream of ice
an endless winter in this dogday-age, i kiss the cross but dream of wars
a bagatelle for a massacre or wars of fire were build to last
old men die and stone will turn to stone
and then i kiss the mouth of a smiling girl who calls on christ and the pale
queens mighty in sorrow
mighty in sorrow
mighty in sorrow
mighty in sorrow
mighty in sorrow
immaculate heart of immaculate love a tawdry scarecrow for a tarnished crown
his five wounds bleed but only on his throne, his toothless smile cuts wide
across his face
and then i kiss the mouth of a smiling girl who calls on christ and the pale
queens mighty in sorrow
mighty in sorrow
mighty in sorrow
mighty in sorrow
mighty in sorrow
and what shall i receive a little drum to beat when i march with scorched
earth's steps
a rocking horse for a little warrior to trample around and down from fields of
rape
an alabaster doll for the little maid while she waxes and wanes through the
blood of the moon
and camouflaged smocks for the purest of pure, a masculine mark, and the flag of
their shame
and i kiss the lips of the smiling girl who calls on christ and the pale queens
mighty in sorrow
mighty in sorrow
mighty in sorrow
mighty in sorrow
mighty in sorrow
and where shall i go back there and back, furthest and far, to the edge of the
shore
the snow falls thick his mantle of strength descends with a winter on those in
his service
the snow is the winner
message of winter, your hope shall be crushed
the lightflame grows dimmer
child's laughter ceases on a front with no ending
within words with no meaning
child's laughter sickens
child's fever rages
smoldering pages
inquisition!
and i die in the arms of a smiling girl who prays to christ and the pale queens
mighty in sorrow
mighty in sorrow
mighty in sorrow
mighty in sorrow
mighty in sorrow
mighty in sorrow
mighty in sorrow

歌詞解析
一句話主旨
以宗教與戰爭意象詮釋人類在苦難中掙扎的矛盾與無力感。
主題
探討信仰、戰爭與救贖的虛無，描繪人類在暴力與宗教儀式中沈淪的荒謬狀態。
情緒
壓抑、矛盾、悲憤與無奈，並夾雜對神性與人性的質疑。
意象與手法
運用「戰爭」與「宗教儀式」的交錯意象，如「flaming stubble with churchbell battles」（聖鐘戰爭燃燒麥稈），強調暴力與信仰的糾結；「snow falls thick his mantle of strength」（雪落覆蓋他的力量外袍）隱喻虛假的權威與終極的毀滅。
重點句解讀
1. 「on bended knees we pray for war」（跪地祈求戰爭）：
矛盾修辭揭示人類對和平的絕望，祈禱成為戰爭的催化劑，凸顯信仰與暴力的糾葛。
2. 「immaculate heart of immaculate love a tawdry scarecrow for a tarnished crown」（純潔之愛的心，是破舊稻草人對污穢王冠）：
以反諷手法批判宗教象徵的虛偽，純粹的愛被貶為無用的裝飾，暗示信仰的崩解。
3. 「child's laughter ceases on a front with no ending」（孩童笑聲在無盡前線消逝）：
簡潔描繪戰爭對無辜者的摧殘，強化「無意義的苦難」主題。
適合情境
反思戰爭與宗教的荒謬性、面對集體創傷時的沈思時刻、或探討人性在極限狀態下的掙扎。
