    [Verse 1: Cardinal Copia]
    Well, I stepped into an avalanche
    It covered up my soul
    When I am not this hunchback that you see
    I sleep beneath the golden hill
    You, who wish to conquer pain
    You must learn, learn to serve me well
    [Verse 2: Cardinal Copia]
    You strike my side by accident
    As you go down for your gold
    The cripple here that you clothe and feed
    Is neither starved nor cold
    He does not ask for your company
    Not at the center, the center of the world
    [Verse 3: Cardinal Copia]
    When I am not on a pedestal
    You did not raise me there
    Your laws do not compel me
    To kneel grotesque and bare
    I, myself am the pedestal
    For this ugly hump at which you stare
    [Verse 4: Cardinal Copia]
    You who wish to conquer pain
    You must learn what makes me kind
    The crumbs of love that you offer me
    They're the crumbs I've left behind
    Your pain is no credential here
    It's just the shadow; shadow of my wound
    [Verse 5: Cardinal Copia]
    I have begun to long for you
    I, who have no greed
    I have begun to ask for you
    I, who have no need
    You say you've gone away from me
    But I can feel you, feel you when you breathe
    [Verse 6: Cardinal Copia]
    Do not dress in those rags for me
    I know you are not poor
    You don't love me quite so fiercely now
    When you know that you are not sure
    It is your turn, beloved
    It is your flesh that I wear

    this is literally my favourite song in the entire world. i fell in love with it while listening to nick cave's version. then i listened to the original and it made me fall in love with it even more. i can't even express how much this song means to me, so much that now, when i'm so much into Ghost i was afraid of playing it. i wanted to expect and get another masterpiece. and they did that song such justice. it suits Cardinal Copia on so many levels. my stomach literally hurts from emotions. Avalnache is and always will be the most underrated music masterpiece and i'm so happy that tobias also has seen the magnificence of this piece.

      Afaik the most popular theory is that it's from the perspective of God or an angel. Dwelling beneath a hill, having a hunch back and guarding gold definitely smacks of the mountain king though.

    I like this cover, but I never understand "When I am NOT on a pedestal" instead of "When I am on a pedestal." The change both makes it seem like Forge didn't really understand the meaning of the lyrics, and ends up being contradictory to the rest of the verse. If one is NOT on a pedestal, there's no arguing whether one was raised there or not; if one is NOT on a pedestal, laws WOULD compel one to kneel, as they are above the laws, via said pedestal. If "[I myself am] the pedestal for this ugly hump at which you stare," you wouldn't have to state that you're not on the pedestal in the first place, because no one would be viewing you as though you're upon a pedestal.
    The song already has enough depth and complexity that without adding that single word, one could be viewing this as a conversation with God, a communication from God to man, a song from the perspective of Jesus, a song from the perspective of Satan, man struggling with his faith on his death bed, something not religious whatsoever, maybe where someone is dealing with their figurative dark side, etc. The addition of the word kind of muddies the entire verse, and I don't understand what the reason for the addition is.
