Dead Can Dance - Xavier download

my mother named my younger brother after this song. Xavier.

in the depths of my soul, there is music resonating...Dead Can Dance captures each note of my heart, and continually gives me sanctuary, within...

I listen, I read the lyrics!.... my mind travels and I get goose bumps. Did I live in those times? why do I relate to this so much? This music reaches my heart and opens my mind to places so vivid in my dreams........

If I don't see DCD before I die, I will have missed one of the legends in my mind. I'm awestruck...speechless, astounded by their wonderful work. Beautiful, profound, imaginative, and transcendental.

When I listen to this song, I'm imaginating the paladins wearing shiny armors, and praying in catedhral.

"Xavier" Fair Roseanna Your vagrancy's a familiar tale Fraught with danger The lives you led were judged profane Hatred enfolds us Inculcates the minds with its heresy Laymen enfold us Clemency arrive to set you free Faith, although Xavier has prayed That life-giving waters may rain Down on the souls of men To cure them of their ways These were the sins of Xavier's past Hung like jewels in the forest of veils Deep in the heart where the mysteries emerge Eve bears the stigma of original sin Freedom's so hard When we are all bound by laws Etched in the scheme of nature's own hand Unseen by all those who fail In their pursuit of fate Faith, although Xavier has prayed That life-giving waters may rain Down on the souls of man To cure them of their ways And as the night turns into day Will the sun illuminate your way Or will your nightmares come home to stay? Xavier's love lies in chains These were the sins of Xavier's past Hung like jewels in the forest of veils

this song is from another world i like it soooo much

Have not heard this in years ....amazing again .... A small story regarding DCD . They played in Denver in 1988 at a place called The Ogden Theatre . At the time I was operating a used book store across the alley on the same side of the street . The theatre was a recently renovated old movie theatre and had only had a few shows ... DCD was a very early show .. and the owner was nice enough to let me go over in the aftrernoon prior to the performance to watch them do a sound check . Needless to say , it was fascinating and probably got to see some unique things .. though mostly forgotten . I do remember Lisa and Brendan pissing at each other quite a bit.. they obviously weren't getting along . Also ... their road manager.. a Peter Grant type prick walked right up to where I was sitting and asked " Who are You ? " ... i told him and didn't move . He couldn't seem to do anything about it , since I worked next door and knew the manager . The show was amazing and there must have been 20 musicians playing all sorts of acoustic instuments . Lisa was dressed in a strange , overly long ornate ' cape ' that dragged along the floor .. , and delivered all the songs from behind a weird podium ... 1 of the best concerts I've ever seen ............

This is the most beautiful and sad song that i've ever heard of my fcking life for sure

Respect to DCD for this masterpiece.

And as the night turns into day Will the sun illuminate your way?...

Paradise lost have a verion of this music..i think

the most beautiful sonf i ve ever heard, during so many long years, always.... forever..... 'till there's no time exists....

The intro is intense. The whole song is amazing, but the beginning is mystical and blood boiling.

These were the sins of Xavier's past Hung like jewels in the forest of veils Love this song,specially the ending. playing almost every night at my Bar!

My father is a fan of this band and he gave me name from the title of the song :D

I discovered this band 3 days ago and this album deserves to be remembered forever I've never heard something like this it's so mystical and evocative, it creates a perfect haunting atmosphere. This is perfection.
