Dead Can Dance
East Of Eden (Dead Can Dance) (6)
Our soul awaits in a distant land
Where [? taunt yourselves and? together] in anger
B:["where the tortured souls have to fight together in anger."]
Y:[Where TORTURED SOULS OF (deprived?) together -- in anger]
D:["where tortured souls have to fight together in anger."]
And the scenes of the show are of a cruel and violent nature
Scenes of pain and cruelty are there to be seen
The arena, the town, the place was set for all to watch and see
Our soul awaits in a distant land
Where the blessed rule with an iron hand
And mission of saddened complacency
Left cold and emotionless by history
Scenes of pain and cruelty are there to be seen
All the while i should have known
It was you killing me!
Somewhere is the leader,
The designs will never change
Vented through other's fear
The world stops at the end of the hall
We watch the lifeforce fade away
And that's the price we shall have to pay...

The lyrics of Sequential One's song "Dance" provide a vivid portrayal of a brutal society that is marked by an underlying sense of despair and hopelessness. The song begins with the singer describing a distant land where souls await, only to find that their existence is marked by struggle and conflict. The imagery of tortured souls fighting together in anger suggests a kind of spiritual purgatory, one that is characterized by frustration and despair.
As the song progresses, we begin to see more of the details of this world. The singer describes scenes of cruelty and violence that are both disturbing and captivating, suggesting that there is something deeply compelling about this world, even as it repels us. At the same time, we see that there is a sense of sadness and resignation underlying all of this, as if the inhabitants of this world have given up hope of ever finding something better.
