about

The song is a result of The Melting Minds' creative process in assimilating the roots of rock music with the quintessence of Javanese culture. It is also an experimentation to render an experience from Javanese belief (also known as kejawen) which has been told among generations about lust and intention - two tremendous threat which can destroy the principle of humanity itself.
These threatening characteristics are represented by The Witch who always try to possess human minds, but then conquered by the virtue of human being.
With upbeat rock music combined with raw power, dirty guitar sound and exploding energy, it describes the war between human being and The Witch. Overall, the arrangement gives away a heroic nuance, escalating according to the story-telling lyrics.

lyrics

I welcomed Queen of Witches
She gave me angry gazes
Represented lust and intention
She gave me grim delusion
The soul of a deceiver

She forced me to surrender
My mind got real distorted

I was possessed!

I don’t need the moon of night
I don’t need the light

I won’t let the sun shine

All day

Trapped in a deadly embrace
Light guided me to defeat
Uprisen force shifted her gaze
Power to beat deceit
Discomforted The Unblessed
With pure sincerity
Tormented her mind slightly
She was possessed!

I will need the moon of night
I still need the light

I will let the sun shine

Lord give me a sign
And all wisdom has no price
Evil paradise

Every virtue full of every vice

I will need the moon of night
I still need the light

I will let the sun shine

Lord give me a sign
And all wisdom has no price
Evil paradise

Every virtue full of every vice

And all wisdom has no price
Evil paradise

Every virtue full of every vice
