The Messenger
Your Favorite Enemies Lyrics

The Messenger is standing at,
The Messenger is present at the gate, ready to take action.

Standing at the gate.
The Messenger is located near the entrance, waiting to fulfill its duty.

Ready to let go,
The Messenger is prepared to release what it possesses.

Ready for the crush.
The Messenger is anticipating the break or destruction of something.

The Messenger.
The Messenger exists and is present.

Too late for whispers,
No more quiet or secret communication is possible.

Too late for the blush.
It's too late to feel embarrassed for something done or felt.

The past is mercy,
Looking back on what has happened can be seen as merciful.

When the future is aglow.
It seems hopeful to look ahead to what the future holds.

(Won t you let it go?)
The artist is asking the listener to release their hold on something.

Kneeling jury,
A group of people are kneeling in judgement.

Dressed in a cloak of shadows.
They are wearing dark, secretive clothing.

The hunting s grim for the innocent eyes.
The search for the truth is difficult for those who are not guilty.

Communion s pray is a cup of sorrows.
The religious gathering's prayer involves sadness or grief.

(With failure s scars.)
The outcome of past failures is still evident in the present.

With failure s scars,
The wounds of past defeats remain visible.

For the humbling cries.
The sorrowful expressions cause humility in those who witness them.

The spirit is over town,
Something ethereal is present throughout the area.

Waiting for me to hit the floor.
It seems as if this spirit is waiting for the singer to fall or fail.

Blooming whites can t fool the voice of one calling tonight.
The pure and innocent are not able to deceive the voice that is heard tonight.

Tonight faith is the red crown,
Faith is represented by a red crown this evening.

The red crown around your door.
This red crown is symbolically present around the door.

Time s scattering the seeds of the morning daylight.
The passage of time is causing the beginning of a new day to take shape.

The Avenger is roaming through,
Someone who seeks revenge is wandering the area.

Roaming through the land.
This person is traveling through the entire area.

Ready for the clash,
The Avenger is prepared for a violent confrontation.

For the lasting gash.
The fight will result in a brutal injury.

The Avenger.
The individual seeking revenge is present.

Mothers kissing sons,
Moms are showing affection towards their boys.

With staff in hands.
The mothers are holding onto something for support.

The bride is shining,
The woman getting married is gleaming or glowing.

When the groom is gold.
The guy getting married is special or valuable in some way.

(Won t you let it go?)
The artist is asking the listener to release their hold on something.

Shining worship choked in the wave of silver.
The brilliant show of admiration is clouded by something made from silver.

The offering s grief for deceiver s bride.
The group's sadness is the price paid by someone who betrayed a bride.

Salvation then is a cup of fire.
Freedom from sin or punishment comes with agony.

(Hope is the start.)
Hope is the beginning of a new possibility.

But hope is the start,
There is a new possibility beginning.

Of a morning died.
A new day has started, leaving the previous one behind.

The pilgrims are gathering the marching band,
The travelers are joining together with the musical group.

The marching band s howling.
The band members are making loud, intense sounds.

Compassion is the flag a righteous man,
Kindness is the mark of a virtuous person.

A righteous man will hold.
A good person will uphold this behavior and character trait.

The spirit is over town,
Something ghostly or otherworldly is still present throughout the area.

Waiting for me to hit the floor.
It seems as if this spirit is patiently waiting for the artist to fail or fall.

Blooming whites can t fool the voice of one calling tonight.
Even the purest people are not able to deceive the voice that is heard tonight.

Tonight faith is the red crown,
The symbol of faith tonight is a red crown.

The red crown around your door.
This red crown is figuratively present around the door.

Time s scattering the seeds of the morning daylight.
The break of day is being created by time passing.
