Powerwolf doesn't take anything seriosly and No prayer at midnight might just be about sex....

but lemme switch to analysis mode for a sec to ramble because I think I'm seeing commentary on hypocrisy and/or religious criticism.

So the overall story seems to be about this small parish who obedient serve the lord and the clock with the lead of their priest. However when the clock turns to midnight all religious principles seem to become obsolete and they revel in sin. I don't know wether this is part of the religion (so they serve during the day to make up for the sins they commited at midnight or maybe partying isn't even a sin if you do it at midnight) or if the parish is rejecting religion for the night even if they shouldn't. Maybe the video is about hypocrisy of being a believer who rejects their faith at night to sin, or then not.

At the end the priest breaks the clock, stopping it to midnight forever which could symbolise breaking free from the cycle of sin and repent? Or rejecting religion all together? (Maybe to keep sinning forever?)

Its the second verse that keeps me thinking:

(Copy pasted from Genius, but they had some holes which I tried to fill s cording to my best ability)

Never dare to unattend the sermon

For the mass is what you can't betray

Any given day we praise the lord

Its all we must obey

Send your (???) in your final hour

We remember all the rights (?) who/to say

May your body rest in peace and prayer any night and day

(Pre-chorus)

No! Break out of sainted holy fire

I said no! Wait for the end on burning pyre

I'm considering what is the message / story they are going on this part specifically. In the music video Attila is walking around the "church" and pointing (holier than thou -kinda way) to the parishians cleaning the place where they missed a spot. This is probably my bias, but I see a religious leader using religion as leverage to make his followers work for him. (I mean they might also be doing it voluntarily as a community and they just have a leader making quality checks in which case this video isn't criticising religion)

When you combine this with the lyrics it seems like the song is encouraging to break free from binding religion (or reject it just for nighttime, and in the morning everything goes back to normal) because "no prayer can testify" (during midnight?)

The pre-chorus that really gets me, because it tells "to break out of sainted holy fire" which I interpret specifically as breaking out of religious rules which are imposed with the threat of hell and eternal torture. The word choice "sainted holy fire" is interesting because it gives this idea that it's messed up that a fire which is supposed to hurt you has been made sacred and you should break free from that.

If we read "end on burning pyre" to mean Hell (because cremation wasn't traditionally part of a christian burial even though today it is normal) the above point is emphasized even more with rejection to just wait to end up in hell, Kinda like saying "No, I'm not going to fear for Hell anymore or wait for afterlife"

Now, "end on burning pyre" could also mean funeral and/or death, which gives another interesting interpretation where the message is "I refuse to think of my mortality" or "I cast away my fear of death to live in the moment"

I don't believe that this is necessarily what the band is trying to say. I'm probably looking too deeply into this. I might also be misguided by my personal bias because I look at Powerwolf from atheist/agnostic perspective, so I'd appreciate if other people could share they thoughts about this.

The Silt Verses my absolute beloved: I'm relistening and was so excited to get back to Chapter 17, and the way that most of the episode just sweeps over you with an unexpected degree of kindness. Important to be reminded that kindness — or something like it — is possible, even in this brutal world.

#the silt verses #tsv #the silt verses season 2 #pine's silt verses relisten #'the words are kind and i enjoy their closeness to my breath' love 2 have feelings about the way we reach for poetry for the ritualized wor #to soothe #as much as all the other things #and now thinking my little thoughts about prayers and rituals and liturgy and how the language of tsv often allows us to navigate #the horrors in a metaphorical-metaphysical?-way #the way the show uses a kind of mythical cadence in its narration carries us into the space of myth or fairy tale #and lets us sit outside it: this is a story #but the naturalistic dialogue and the immersive soundscapes and the so-real performances force us to be present #writing meta in the tags because its after midnight and i don't have it in me to really write this rn #but I'm eternally stunned by this show #no id #sorry i am in a lot of pain and am going to bed soon!

Just woke up from one of the worst nightmares I've ever had. Crazy for me 'cause, I somehow slept anxious about the upcoming leaks in 3 days, AND it just gave me the worst possible vision of his death COME ON now I can't sleep 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

#there's no way THAT image is getting outta my head soon #i'll elaborate later sigh #i know i might sound crazy for overthinking this but... 😭 #i woke up terrified not even gonna lie #it's just so sadistic like WHY DEMON #it's midnight here and i swear i said my prayers before sleep too 😭 #i'm too deep in this 'loving a character' hole to the point of not only having dreams of them but nightmares too apparently #uhh might have shared too much but erm... :") #ೋღ—私.

I’m fighting a headache (and about to go to bed) but I already don’t really want to try to go to any church and a headache would make it where I definitely wouldn’t go, so prayer appreciated I guess
