Salacious sounds from gloomy Leeds band The March Violets. This is their 5th single 'WALK INTO THE SUN' (1984). LISTEN LOUD!
Simon Denbigh - vocals. Cleo Murray - vocals. Tom Ashton - guitar. Laurence Elliot - bass. Dr. Rhythm - drums.
Statues slowly click their fingers
Catch the beat and born again
Come into the drawing room
She draws them in
That smoke filled room
Broken glasses token smiles
Dust is fine so she breathes it in she
Circulates with ermine hands
Picking the wallflowers one by one
Now Walk
Into the Sun
I want you to walk with me
Into the Sun
Statues moving in the ballroom
On the dancefloor all is bright
Vicious sins of gentlefolk
I love my horse thats the joke
Find your picture in the mirror
Find your portrait on the wall
Turn the sundial back again
This is a dance for everyone
Walk with me now
The sun machine is coming down
And we're gonna have a party
Statues slowly click their fingers
Catch the beat and born again
East is West and West is East
Follow me into the garden
Find your future in the crystal
Leave your friendship in the hall
Follow me now this is the way
This is a dance for everyone

I'm slowly discovering that post-punk and goth rock really work for me and the March Violets have been a great gateway into that.

The album that she sells is off of is called “Love”. The entire album is awesome. It’s like hard-rock-goth stuff, which somehow works extremely well.

People forget that the pentagramm being used as a "satanic" symbol is extremely new and began with Lavey satanism. Before that this sign was used in classic occultism (=alchemy, Kaballah, Theurgy and alike) and Christian mysticism. The sign's origin traces back to the stone age and it was mostly a seal against evil spirits and to channel divine powers. Christians used it too as a symbol for the five wounds of jesus. Thanks to Lavey, Crowley and horror movies for making it a sign of the devil...

@captainunload Pentagram linked to devil worshipping is what the modern religion made from it, it is an older symbol with more meanings. It's allso a symbol referring to completeness and venus/woman. If you truly want to know the meaning of this symbol on their LP than it could be: 1. Someone in the band itnerested to esoteric and occult stuff so putting some symbols in it. 2. It was the punk/new wave/gothic period => rebelling to mainstream stuff, criticism on politics, religion, etc.

@taffysaur 11 жыл бұрын

tbh, i don't think there's ever really been such a thing as what we would call 'devil worship'. it's mostly propaganda/panic. modern philosophical satanism appropriated the pentagram because the christian church taught that witchcraft, 'paganism' + 'devil worship' were all pretty much interchangeable. they inverted it to make it their own, essentially. there are lots of genuine satanist bands. the most famous is probably marilyn manson. their purpose is to advertise 'aberrant' perspectives.

It may not be out of the ordinary for a progressive band to be hostile toward Christianity. But it is impossible for an "intelligent" one to be so. ;-) Regarding your comment about the association of pentegrams with satanism vs. devil worship, I can't confirm or deny that with any kind of certainty. Do you have any kind of source you could cite for that?

captainunload mystery religions don’t tell the normal people their secrets. Witchcraft. ( I’m a Christian who was once agnostic and used to love goth, still do really, but I think many of its bands were at least dabblers in occultism.) honestly who wasn’t the reading was weird and interesting.

I agree that Satanism and devil worship aren't necessarily the same thing, but I can't confirm devil worshippers never use that symbol. I've heard the 3 points facing down are supposed to be representative of an insult to the Trinity. Regarding your other contention, I think a lot of opposition to Christianity comes from ignorance of it or a misunderstanding of it.

Regarding your first paragraph, I'm not sure that pentagrams, upside down or otherwise, are not tied to devil worship as well. I suspect they're used in both, even if the frequency is greater in one over the other. Regarding your second paragraph: What would be the problem? Well, it depends on what you mean. I'm not saying the song itself becomes evil or something not to listen to, but such an aberrant religious perspective being advertised so blatantly seems odd.
