Tema

Escrita para la película *Demon Knight* (1995), **'Diadems'** es una pista pesada y oscura impregnada de **imágenes apocalípticas y bíblicas**, inspirada particularmente en el Libro del Apocalipsis (la bestia de siete cabezas y las diez diademas). El tema se centra en el fin del mundo, el juicio final y la futilidad del deseo humano.

Letra

Sacriledge and blasphemy Sets the stage today The more insatiable the sex The more swelled our tongues became As pre-historic as it seems This is now, today As pre-historic as it seems This is now Talkin' 'bout no vision Talkin' 'bout no dream The harlot puddles for her lies From where she speaks I look above and see Entrails in the sky This song ain't over 'til the Fat lady dies One man rules the earth And rides the seven-headed beast Ten diadems, to rule them all, to crown them all The world, religion at his feet Dreams are told of dreams of old This day will surely come So, run my child and hide your face Once you've been marked it's finished, done You'll become one You're mine You're one I saw a new earth today I saw a former pass away I saw a new earth today I saw a former pass away Vengence is mine Vengence is mine The netherworld and sheol Are never satisfied So the eyes of man are Never sat-is-fied I saw a new earth today I saw a former pass away
