Here I'll talk about some of the Biblical characters and places talked about in the songs so you can get a frame of reference for them.

Jesus

You probably know who Jesus is, but mabye you don't. He basically was born of Mary (we'll get to her later) and God, and is sometimes referred to as "The Son of Man" or the "Son" or the "Son of God." He is the savior to the Christians. God sent him to Earth to teach the people about God, and thats what he did. But the Jews didn't like that and thought that he was a heretic. (Oh yeah, he was Jewish.) So they brought the case to Pontius Pilate (Pontius Pilatus) and he sent Jesus back to King Herod (we'll get to him later). They both found nothing wrong with him, but the Jews decided that he was still a heretic and made Pilate change his mind. So in the end he was crucified.

Moses

You probably know who Moses is too, but mabye you don't. He was born a Hebrew and then orphaned and given to the Pharoah. He killed a soldier to save a Hebrew and left the Pharoah's Kingdom. He walked around for a while and eventually ended up in a small desert town named Midian. There he married some girl and became a herder. One day, while herding his sheep, he ran up the Mount Sinai (sacred because it was the mountain where God lived), and God started talking to him. He empowered his staff that he had picked up walking around and told him to free the Hebrews from the Pharoah. Then there were the plagues, yada yada yada, Hebrews were freed. Skip ahead a few years and Moses is still walking around the desert with these people he just freed. He goes up Mount Sinai again and God gives him The Ten Commandments (Die 10 Gebote). Then Moses comes down from the mountain and sees his people dancing around a Golden Calf. (This five minutes (which was actually more like a few months...) after God had told him not to make false idols and worship them.) So he smashed the tablet which the commandments were written on (written by God, which made them God's Tablets) and yelled at his followers. The whole breaking of the commandments happens twice more. But that doesn't matter, because thats all you need to know about Moses.

Noah

Noah was a guy who lived before Jesus and Moses. The people of the Earth were being huge morons and they needed to be wiped off the face of the Earth. But God found favor with Noah because he was holy or some other malarky. Anywho, God tells him that he can live and can bring his family with him, but he has to build a massive boat and take a male and female of all the animals along with him. He does that and then he goes on a forty day long sail. During this time God is making it rain, which made it flood. The whole entire Earth. Then it dried up, Noah had babies, humanity survived. The end.

Lucifer

Lucifer, The Devil, El Diablo. List goes on and on. Hes the freakin' Devil. He wasn't always like that though. The chorus to "Der Fuerst der Finsternis" tells you what happened basically. He used to be an Arch Angel and decided he was better than God. So, God said,"Lucifer you're a big stupid retard. Go to Hell. Literally." And so, God made Hell, and saw that it was good...I mean....welll.....

King Herod

King Herod was the King of Palestine. Palestine is where Jesus was born. Herod was afraid of Jesus because he is a big panzy. When the Jewish High Priest charged Jesus with heresy, Pilate sent him back to Herod, as Herod was his real king. Herod had been waiting for this day because he wanted Jesus dead. Well, Jesus basically wouldn't talk to him, which made Herod even more pissed of, but nevertheless, Herod couldn't find anything wrong with Jesus. So he sent him back to Pilate. Thats all the King Herod you'll need.

Jericho

Jericho was a town that was ruled by the Jews. Then it got taken from them. So along comes Johua, a successor of Moses who had been the leader of the Israelites for quite some time, with his army of Jews all ready to attack the city of Jericho to take it back for the Jews when God gets in his face and says,"Have seven priests play these seven horns for seven days while walking around Jericho and on the seventh day the walls of Jericho will fall leaving it open for you to attack." (7 is a very prominent number in the Bible. Don't know why). So Joshua does it. Walls fall. They take Jericho. *Insert Rejoicing.*

Mary and Joseph

Mary (Maria) was a girl, Joseph was a carpenter. They were going to get married. Gabriel (God's messenger angel) tells Mary shes going to have the Son of God. Mary gets pregnant with Jesus before she is married to Jospeh. Joseph gets pissed off. Everyone thinks Mary is an adultress. Mary, however, didn't have sex with God (that would be REALLY wierd) and Joseph believed her.So he protected her and they had Jesus.

David

David was the King of Israel. That will matter later. David gets a section because Psalm 23 is about him. But the main point is to give you a history lesson. The word Sigini is translated in my translation as Sigini. Why you ask? Lets rewind a bit...

There were originally 12 Tribes of Israel that all lived in Israel. Then, for whatever reason, they parted ways. Two went south. Those two we know of, so they don't matter much to the context of the song. The other ten went north. No one knows what happened to them, so they are reffered to as the 10 Lost Tribes of Israel. David brought the 12 tribes together at one point...then they split again. One of the lost tribes is rumored to have been named in the original Bible "Sigini." So, now I get to speculate. The line in the song says "Sigini Everlasting." So, it is plausible that the song implies that David was a descendant of the Sigini tribe, and that he was supposed to make them live forever.

Thats just a basic interpretation of the whole 10 Lost Tribes of Israel business, and may or may not be true. But that is the only logical conclusion I could come to about this topic. If any would like to discuss it further with me then please e-mail me.
