Origina… Read Full Bio ↴Angels Of Liberty were a UK based new old skool Goth band.
Original formation was:
Voe Saint-Clare on Vocals & Synths
Scarlet Powers on Vocals & Synths
Echo Von Hammer on Machine Drums.
Influences include Nosferatu, Bauhaus, and The Sisters of Mercy
Formed in 2011 the band spent years on painstaking research. The task was undertaken by getting monstrously drunk out on the UK scene following some of the best Goth Rock bands during the nineties. After years of snakebite fuelled antics, worn out winklepickers and working as glorified skiv-vies in recording studios they set about the task of creating something themselves. So more than a little fashionably late, showing signs erotic crystallization inertia and with moth eaten frock coats.
Debut Album 'Pinnacle Of The Draco' released November 2012 packing new, demo and previously unavailable material. Debut appearance at WGW 2012 was cancelled due to Voe having a biking accident around the time of the Albums realease.
Girl Under The Water
Angels of Liberty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With guilt and murder, haunted remains
I've seen the daughter of the man next door
I've heard her calling, singing tales of shame
We've got to rise up he bones
There's a girl under the water
He voice is calling, She still remains
you should fea the dead, they talk
You should fear the dead, they walk
I'm just here to let them talk
I'm just here to let them talk
We've got to raise up the bones
There's a girl under the water
By Aiakos Barada Nikto
The lyrics of Angels of Liberty's song Girl Under The Water depict a haunting, eerie atmosphere that surrounds a small town stained with guilt and murder. The singer describes how he has witnessed the daughter of his neighbor, who seems to be trapped under water and held down by chains. The girl's voice can be heard calling for help, singing tales of shame. The singer warns the listener to fear the dead because they talk and walk. He says that he is only there to let them talk and that they must "raise up the bones."
The song appears to be about the secrets that towns hold and the hidden horrors that lurk beneath the surface. The mention of a girl under the water suggests that there is something that needs to be uncovered and brought to light. The use of the phrase "raise up the bones" implies that the truth needs to be revealed and that those who are responsible must be held accountable. The song presents a dark and unsettling picture of a town that is haunted by its past.
