and when he falleth

bir theatre of tragedy şarkısı.
velvet darkness they fear albümündedir.

özellikle şarkının içindeki dialog muhteşemdir.

dinlenesi şarkılardan.

bu da o meşhur dialog;

(he) that cross you wear around your neck;
is it only a decoration, or are you a
true christian believer?

(she) yes, i believe - truly

(he) then i want you to remove it at once!- and
never to wear it within this castle again!

do you know how a falcon is trained my dear?
her eyes are sown shut. blinded temporarily
she suffers the whims of her god patiently,
until her will is submerged and she learns to
serve - as your god taught and blinded you
with crosses.

(she) you had me take off my cross because it
offended....

(he) it offended no-one. no - it simply appears
to me to be discourteous to... to wear
the symbol of a deity long dead.

my ancestors tried to find it. and to open
the door that seperates us from our creator.

(she) but you need no doors to find god.
if you believe....

(he) believe?! if you believe you are gullible.
can you look around this world and believe
in the goodness of a god who rules it?
famine, pestilence, war, disease and death!
they rule this world.

(she) there is also love and life and hope..

(he) very little hope i assure you.
no. if a god of love and life ever did
exist... he is long since dead.
someone... something rules in his place.
