Magic(k) practitioners- there's a song by the band Faith and the Muse which seems like a spell to me. Do you

agree with me on this one? Here are the lyrics:





The Silver Circle





Come to life my deviltry Possess this poor company


Our secret be benefit Their unhappy lack of it


Awaken my trusting friend My undisturbed reflection


So fluid your beauty All gears and teeth





Come Alive





Come to life my second skin To protect the madness locked within


Yet I know a place where we can touch in tongues


Though words did betray us Did bury our past Cry blasphemy


Cancer masters instinct Sad passive release





Come Alive





Take my dear ones The use of this spell may serve too well


Our mouth is our chalice Our tongue our sword


And truth holds a dozen doors One thrown open wide shall yield one more


Yet mystery remains above their eyes





Come Alive





What do you think is its purpose? Do you know of any other rock bands that write songs intended to be magical (beyond the normal feeling music gives you)?

It's a remarkably poetic and cryptic passage with references to magickal rites that certainly could be used as a "spell" (more of a Wiccan or witch sort than a ceremonial magick sort) but it probably isn't a spell per se.





The quiessentient magickal song (although not a spell), I think, is Stairway to Heaven. It is full of alchemical and hermetic references.

Reply:I'd have to hear it...if it's as amazing as Loreena McKennitt than I'd say yes.





*dances* "Bonfires dot the rolling hillside.....figures dance around and around...to drums that pulse out echoes of darkness moving to the Pagan sound...
Reply:As an ex-Wiccan I'd say it's more touching on the truths of things, and feelings, rather than as a "spell", but then one would have to ask the musician about their intent to be sure.
