Moonspell - Medusalem Lyrics






Two white feathers sewn on the angel black
Be mine just for another thousand nights
Or leave me to rot to the gods of the sun
Just for a thousand lives
Two white feathers sewn to the the angel's back

In Medusalem

Drive a needle through the camel's eye
The heart is a ticking time bomb
Ready to explode
Or leave me to smoke with the assassins tonight
Together we ride
Two white feathers sewn to the the angel's back

To Medusalem

It's the land of honey
The land of pain
The city falls under its weight
The golden sands were painted red
And we shall free you from your chains

Two white feathers sewn on the angel black
Just open the gates, let there be light!
Or leave me to be with Morgana tonight
To the land of Cain, come together, we'll ride
Two more feathers sewn to the the angel's back

To Medusalem

It's the land of honey
The land of pain
The city falls under its weight
The golden sands were painted red
And we shall free you from your chains

To Medusalem

It's the land of honey
The land of pain
The city falls under its weight
The golden sands were painted red
And we shall free you

It's the land of honey, the land of pain
The city walls give in to faith
The golden sands were painted red
And we shall free you from your chains

    This is brilliant! A kick-ass song!

  11. E.... ....

    I just love this song. I really like Moonspell and they have some amazing music but this song just speaks to me, no fucking idea why, but it's amazing. So yeah, big fan^^

  15. M.... L....

    love the font

  16. T.... M....

    Feathers, assassins... and the oriental element. Don't know why the first assassin's creed comes in my mind

  17. K.... P....

    Music,vocal, test... Excellent.

  18. D.... ....

    Reminds me of Sisters of Mercy.

  19. J.... C....

    Mahafsoun brought me here and I'm addicted.

  20. V.... N....

    Consigo perceber o sotaque português dele.

  21. D.... P....

    It all seems like all the parts missing got plugged in.

  22. c.... v....

    Why does Moonspell has to be so good?

  23. N.... U....

    What exactly is the message behind this song? What is medusalem? Is it referring to a real place or is it just to sound exotic? We shall free you? Are they talking about Jerusalem?

    N.... U....

    I want to know too😕

  24. C.... M....

    3:13 <3

  25. t.... ....

    The overall atmosphere of this song is unreal. I'm always a sucker for incorporating a different culture in metal music. Alcest did it in Kodama by adding Japanese influences. I did not know Moonspell had put Middle Eastern influences in a song. Congratulations! This is awesome! Good to know. Will love to see them live here in their native country since I never actually saw them :/

    t.... ....

    I love metal mixed with middle eastern sounds too...check out Myrath and Orphaned Land, they have alot of middle eastern folk elements in their music

  26. G.... S....

    this is bad...i only listen to this because is Moonspell otherwise i wouldn't listen all the song! what happen to Moonspell?

  27. A.... S....

    For those who are wondering, the Farsi bit in the middle is just a part of the chorus in Farsi.

  28. S.... D....

    Almost didn't click on this in my suggestions. Almost made a really big mistake.

  29. m.... ....

    OHHHHHH YEAHHHHHH

  30. C.... D....

    I LOVE THIS SO FUCKING MUCH! \m/

  31. J.... V....

    who or what is "Medusalem"?

    J.... V....

    It sound like a city in Israel, but Medusalem is very probably hypotetical. :)

    J.... V....

    @Sadix Sounds*

    J.... V....

    @Sadix ok, thanks.

    J.... V....

    A portmanteau of medusa and Jerusalem, both of theological and mythological significance.

  32. S.... M....

    I want the female farsi lyrics...

    S.... M....

    +Sadix oh thank you so much! Arabic and Farsi use the same letters :) do you have kik?

    S.... M....

    @Sahab Mas No I don't have Kik, I don't know what it is, but you can contact my facebook page (Sadix) with the same picture as my yt channel, i could send you it there.

    S.... M....

    +Sadix i messages you on Facebook :)

    S.... M....

    look up mahafsoun on youtube. she's the one who said that in farsi. :)

    S.... M....

    Anya evia wow I know her... I didn't know she did the vocals! Holy shit, thanks ❤️

  33. M.... H....

    I like this very much

  34. n.... ....

    Can someone translate the farsi part for me please?

    n.... ....

    "The land of milk and honey,
    the land of anguish and pain,
    golden sands, painted red in the colour of blood,
    we release you from shackles and chains"

    n.... ....

    +Amirhossein Vakili thank you

  35. A.... c....

    Great instrumental work throughout the song.

  36. D.... G....

    OK, we are in Portugal and we have a shitty Rock in Rio compared to Brasil's, Moonspell is Portuguese and they were present in Brasil and they will not be in Rock In Rio Portugal... this is our media in Portugal, try to make us swallow the pop culture instead of put our great bands in the stage, we have so many.. And Portguese people barely know them cause of the system.. this makes me sad..

    D.... G....

    I went to see korn.. it was what it was.. wasted money..

    D.... G....

    You had Moonspell in 2016 in Vagos Metal Fest and they will be back this year!
    Rock in Rio should be called Pop in Rio in Portugal.

    D.... G....

    Diogo gonçalves
    Nao podia estar mais de acordo

    D.... G....

    A culpa é só do povo... A qualidade intelectual do espectador faz a qualidade do evento que é oferecido... Se quem vai a esses festivais, na sua maior parte, são betos acéfalos é claro que as bandas serão para ao seu nível, para assim agradar quem paga...

    D.... G....

    Portugal has so many Festivals , preatty sue Moonspell will be in one.

  37. J.... �....

    Full of energy, the power of this song is unbelievable.

  38. j.... ....

    One of the best MEtal albums in 2015!

  39. C.... S....

    I have to say that this song is a master piece of the art, great animation as well, simply great music, thanks for posting it, now I'm ready to buy the album!

  40. J.... ....

    If you wonder who's the woman speaking farsi, you can find her on youtube under the name "Mahafsoun".

    J.... ....

    Riddlechen92 she brought me here❤

  41. M.... O....

    excelente

  42. w.... 6....

    greatest song of the greatest band! lml

  43. M.... N....

    My name is Medusalem ....wow

  44. A.... ....

    Pretty obvious Sisters of Mercy influence on this song

    A.... ....

    Yeah, it reminds me of Temple of Love

    A.... ....

    Almost a rip-off ;)

  45. A.... ....

    amaaaaaaaaaaazing album do more like this!!!! the mysticism of wolfheart needs to be mre exploited but nice nice!!!!! excellent work

  46. M.... ....

    Внезапно! Новый альбом уступает только "Sin/Pecado".

  47. A.... G....

    I must admit that I like more the "lyric videos" rather than the "live action" videos :P

    The animations are fantastic :D

  48. D.... D....

    Sounds like Samael

  49. J.... F....

    You can find Jews in Jerusaleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeem.

  50. T.... S....

    Awesomeness! Need this album

  51. U.... t....

    good for the circus

  52. J.... V....

    o melhor som de todos os tempos, basta ser ser português. do melhor

  53. V.... S....

    Carrega Moonspell!

  54. N.... O....

    Hace rato no escucho a Ribeiro y sus huestes pero este tema es excelente..aun creo que abusa de las Reminiscencias de los Sisters pero de igual manera creo que es un gran tributo a esa legendaria banda!!!simplemente canción incrible!!!!

  55. J.... A....

    Que música sensacional!!! Minha preferida até o momento.

  56. E.... L....

    me gutó esta rolita n_ny @Misery Wu

  57. K.... W....

    Beautiful song \m/ Moonspell is amazing \m/

  58. C.... P....

  59. R.... S....

    *-* thanks!!!!

  60. J.... T....

    Awesome song and album!

  61. C.... a....

    This was my instant favorite song when i first heard the album :D
    It's great for it to get a video

  62. M.... G....

    Very good song ! Congratulations !

  63. G.... ....

    AWESOME!! This is true music!

    Caralho que música foda!! Moonspell é demais

  64. R.... A....

    I think this music is inspired in Caim, the brother of Jesus

  65. I.... b....

    ADOROOOOOOOOOOOOOO LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE IT

  66. m.... ....

    Does anyone know what the woman was singing? Was that Persian?

    m.... ....

    @Rui Silva wow thanks to be honest I did not expect an answer but I am pleased very much about it. The Farsi words sound pretty similar to the English lyrics so I suppose she sort of repeats the English chorus. Thank you again for your efforts to clarify this :D

    m.... ....

    @moorgott666
    sure no prob I rarely come to google plus and only recently noticed the posts integrate on email, so I'm not used to come here at all but have had it here on email all along :p
    I was trying to get a few minutes of her time again to certify my romanized farsi but as I said she's referred she's been so busy with her Mahafsoun project she never has the time to go through what I believe to be thousands of messages from everybody :)

    m.... ....

    +Rui Silva Its written out in the lyrics book of the album. So if anybody wants it translated, copy it down from the album book and give it to somebody who knows the language

    m.... ....

    Ahah I actually tried to copy the lyrics from the cover, crop them in photoshop from the background image and use OCR software to replace the image with actual font letters to try and find out myself (because I was doing a tshirt image with moonspell and fo and the lyrics in it and didn't want to wait for her to reply :p ) but i could not, it was too hard to discern the text from the image, but as Foroogh said to me at  the time of this post, it's not even a contemporary form of iranian nor is it easily translatable, it looks like her mother helped her to stylize it into an older literary form of quasi-poetic persian :) but she also confirmed it herself, she basically just repeats the chorus in archaic persian :)

    m.... ....

    Rui Maurício it is the chorus spoken in parsi

  67. m.... ....

    Best music from Extinct! / Melhor música do Extinct!

  68. R.... ....

    Sounds really good. What type of genre would you call this? Doom?

    R.... ....

    More like Goth Rock. But anyway, fuck genres. Good music, bad music, that is all.

    R.... ....

    @Rqoiz It is called gothic metal

    R.... ....

    @Rqoiz HA HA DOOM ? it's only stupid rock & roll

    R.... ....

    Im a big fan of Symphonic metal and metal in general. If I would put it to a particular genre it would be Symphonic gothic progressive metal.

    R.... ....

    D Jeff aside from the buzouki, there s nothing progressive in here tho

  69. I.... R....

    *_* Amazing!
