I would like to know, if she really speaks about the Samson-story from the Bible. And who is telling the story? Delilah? Why she says "the bible didn´t mention us" ?

Here you can watch the video of the song.

Answer 1

well i'm not really sure, it sounds like it but not really. do you know the story of sampson? well sampson was like born an isrealite, but he wasn't an isrealite, (i forgot wut he was) and god made a promise qwith sampson when he was not yet born, that he would be really really strong and if he cut his long hair he broke the covenant with gid and then he wouldn't be powerful. and one day sampson killed a lion but didn't tell anyone, and then he went and caught 300 or 100 foxes and lit their tails on fire and they ran into the philistenes or whatever's camp, and burnt down their stocks, they got mad, and the isrealites gave him to them so they wouldn't kill all the isrealites, and sampson got away and killed 1000 men with a cows jaw bone. and then a lot more with a hip bone or something.
then, he met a girl delila (sp?) and they got married, they loved eahcother, then the philistenes or whatevr, they told he they would give her LOTS of money if she found out where his strength came from, she said ko, and asked hm. he knew she was lying so he told her a lie that if she bound hi with corn rope or something his strength would go away. he lied, she got mad, so he told her that if she bound him with new rope then it would go away, iot didn't she got mad, he did it again, and she said "you don't love me" so he broke down and told her the truth, and then she was happy and massaged him till' he fell asleep then she cut his hair.
the guys took him and bound his and he was weak, and they took him to this big biulding, and he stood between two pillwers, and he held onto both of them, and he was weak so they left him there and went inside or up on the building to party. and there were like 2000 people there. and he prayed to god for strength one last time, and then he yelled 'f i am to die i'm taking the philistenes down with me!" and he pulled the tow pillers together and died with the 2000 or so people there, men women and children.

so thats it. not sure about that song tho, its very interesting tho.
