The Truth Beneath the Rose - Within Temptation

The lovely symbolism in this song is absolutely staggering. I want to ramble on for hours about the lyrics, but I'm not sure I really can do justice to all the themes and all their angles. Not at the moment. Maybe after I've matured a bit. I'll just say this: though the words first call to mind the mindless bloodshed in the Crusades, they drive home a point relevant to any conflict conceived in aggression in any time period.

Yes I agree this song is just gorgeous and the lyrics are a masterpiece. I think it would be hard to discuss this song especially because it does refer to religion but can also be interpreted in many other ways, just as you say. Still I think it could prove to be a good debating issue haha.

In the meantime let's bask in this song's glory *__* hahaha
