Dagon

behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD
+-----------------[Jennifer, your love is the ark of God taken]



When I first met you, it was in Israel (NR*)
I had everything I needed,
I could wage war with my disconsolation

I called my fears of your rejection of me,
Phillistines
and the memories of them that dark battlefield within:
Ebenezer
and I fought with them, yet incurred loss
even after my flamboyant rallying

Jennifer, you were my strength, together
we were indomitable
the ark of God was our covenant of ambition
(of passion)
but you were taken from me
suddenly
and placed in Ashdod (foreign land of my tears)
before the false god of another man's love
you never introduced us but
to me, he is Dagon forever

And his priests are his intentions to marry you
every morning they discover him prostrate
incapacitated before my love for you
and your love for me. Though they lift him up
his head (thinking you would never fall for me)
his palms (holding hands that really belong to me)
stuck to the ground in our presence unable to stand
all thats left is the stump of
those things that try to tear us apart
and plagued ground and thresholds
for the cabals who wont let you return
to where you belong


(In Israel, in my arms!)

1 Samuel 5:1-5
And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Ebenezer unto Ashdod.When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon. And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him. Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day.--------------------------------------
Alesana - Seduction lyrics

Sunlight warms my face only in dreams of you
I know you'll wait for me... it's been too long
Beautiful eyes. beautiful lies to dull the pain
Beautiful eyes, beautiful lies... you're killing me
I would wait for years just to feel you again
I will die without you... would you my love?
Beautiful eyes, beautiful lies pour from your mouth as
You scream his name... you're killing me

Cries escape your sweet voice as I kiss you one last time
... One last time...
Do you remember me and our beautiful affair?
Look in my eyes and honestly tell me our love is gone!
Why have you turned your back on me?
One day you'll wake up and realize your mistake

Ice runs through my veins as I stand face to face with
The one who stole it all
Compassion is not an option

Cries escape your sweet voice as I kiss you one last time
... One last time...
Do you remember me and our beautiful affair?
Look in my eyes and honestly tell me our love is gone!
Why have you turned your back on me?
One day you'll wake up
Realize your mistake!

In love we're one, inseparable, pathetic lust, thus we crumble
I saw your eyes, I wiped your tears, I waited for you...

Who do you see with your eyes shut tight?
Regret will be your bride
Goodbye...

Do you remember me and our beautiful affair?
Look in my eyes and honestly tell me our love is gone!
Why have you turned your back on me?
One day you'll wake and realize your mistake
Cries escape your sweet voice as I paint my own goodbye
