Demons

Demons有两个意思，一指魔鬼；

二指技艺出众、精力充沛的人

When the days are cold

And thecards all fold

And the saints we see

Are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail

And the ones we hail

Are the worst of all

And the blood’s run stale

Fold cards源自扑克牌术语即指前面有

人 *** 后你决定不跟注或加注，

既不再投入筹码到台面上，弃牌。在

你判断别人的牌比你好，你赢的可能

性很小的时候，你应该弃牌。

在这里引申为时运不济

All the saints we see are made of gold.

指我们崇拜的所谓的神只是金雕像而已

意思是压根没有神明可以帮助我们

And the ones we hail are the worst of all.

Hail这里是打招呼greet的意思

这里说我们平时打招呼的人也就是

我们的朋友也帮不了我们

I want to hide the truth

I want to shelter you

But with the beast inside

There’s nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed

We still are made of greed

This is my kingdom come

This is my kingdom come

Kingdom come这里最易误读。这个词组指来世，天堂

源于圣经马太福音Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6:

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,

On Earth as it is in Heaven

这里指不羁的行为会带来死亡的后果

When you feel my heat

Look into my eyes

It’s where my demons hide

It’s where my demons hide

Don’t get too close

It’s dark inside

It’s where my demons hide

It’s where my demons hide

When the curtain’s call

Is the last of all

When the lights fade out

All the sinners crawl

So they dug your grave

And the masquerade

Will come calling out

At the mess you made

Curtain call 指演员谢幕

这里指整个人生的谢幕

All the sinners crawl可理解为援引自基督再临Parousia of Christ,人们为了上天堂而演好自己的角色，然而恶魔则留在人间

圣经旧约《创世纪》Genesis 3:14里有提到the serpent to crawl，就是耶和华已经将蛇作为人类的欺骗者定罪，惩罚他只能用腹部爬行

The curtain call could be a reference to the Parousia of Christ, where the people who ‘played their part’ ascend to heaven and the evil people of the world remain on Earth.

In the Bible, the Lord punished the serpent to crawl in Genesis 3:14.

Then the Lord God said to the serpent, ‘Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all animals, domestic and wild. You will crawl on your belly, groveling in the dust as long as you live."

Masquerade指假面舞会，那些匿名的人会将你置之死地

Don’t want to let you down

But I am hell bound

Though this is all for you

Don’t want to hide the truth

No matter what we breed

We still are made of greed

This is my kingdom come

This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat

Look into my eyes

It’s where my demons hide

It’s where my demons hide

Don’t get too close

It’s dark inside

It’s where my demons hide

It’s where my demons hide

They say its what you make

God says its up to fate

Its woven in my soul

I need to let you go

Your eyes, they shine so bright

I want to save their light

I cant escape this now

Unless you show me how

When you feel my heat

Look into my eyes

It’s where my demons hide

It’s where my demons hide

Don’t get too close

It’s dark inside

It’s where my demons hide

It’s where my demons hide
