Voodoo Church Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the moment comes when I no longer know your name
A lonely maiden stands beyond infernal fire
A prince awaits his destiny for all time
Oh baby darling you will see
Your blood belongs to him
A soulless feast
A rebirth of his lover to avenge his hate
Oh baby darling you will see
Your blood belongs to him a soulless feast
Heaven betrayed you
They said that her soul could not be saved
A better believer
The blood his life his sword sacrificed the cross
Returning with a hunger by the power of love
Oh baby darling you will see
Your blood belongs to him a soulless feast
Heaven betrayed you
They said that her soul could not be saved
A better believer
Let her be she belongs to me
And the moment comes when I no longer know your name
The opening lyrics of "Eyes (Second Death)" by Voodoo Church set the tone for a gothic tale of possession and revenge. The first line, "Let her be she belongs to me," hints at ownership and control over the female character in the song. The singer claims her as his own, and later in the song, she belongs to the darkness and the prince who awaits her. The next line, "And the moment comes when I no longer know your name," suggests that the singer is losing touch with reality and succumbing to the dark forces driving him.
The verses describe a "lonely maiden" standing beyond an "infernal fire," while a prince waits for her destiny to be fulfilled. The chorus repeats the idea that the woman's blood belongs to the prince in a "soulless feast," hinting at a ritualistic sacrifice. The lyrics suggest that the woman is being reborn into a new form to avenge the prince's hate. The song builds to a climax with the lines, "Returning with a hunger by the power of love," indicating that the prince is fuelled by a dark love that drives his actions.
Overall, "Eyes (Second Death)" is a haunting narrative of possession, sacrifice, and revenge. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a gothic scene, with the brooding music adding to the atmosphere. The song is an example of Voodoo Church's dark, heavy sound, which draws on influences from metal, punk, and goth genres.
