| I love this song. It sounds like old man Eldritch is perdicting the apocalypse, or on a more personal level, talking about the band's situation. Great stuff. | |

| I hear the sons of the city and dispossessed Get down, get undressed Get pretty but you and me, We got the kingdom, we got the key We got the empire, now as then, We don't doubt, we don't take direction, I love this song, makes me think that change is a coming. | |

| this song is about war (gulf war here) as many of Eldritch's songs (Dominion, Black Planet). He ironically criticizes the war by taking the point of view of the US government (We got the kingdom, we got the key we got the empire now as then...") It should be that as Eldritch is well known for his contempt for the American culture ("a vast, vicious corporate theme-park for junk brains") (sorry for the english, I'm not) | |

| Its a classic "we rock harder than you" song, made up of decadent imagery, rock'n'roll rebellion, revolution, a statement of intent, them against the world - and it describes the different elements of the Sisters. The big machine is Doctor Avalanche, Lucretia is new member Patricia Morrison, and there are a few references just for Sisters fans (Long Train being a rare b-side). This is one of Eldricths most direct songs, despite every line being basically a metaphor. | |
