agree with me on this one? Here are the lyrics:
The Silver Circle
Come to life my deviltry Possess this poor company
Our secret be benefit Their unhappy lack of it
Awaken my trusting friend My undisturbed reflection
So fluid your beauty All gears and teeth
Come Alive
Come to life my second skin To protect the madness locked within
Yet I know a place where we can touch in tongues
Though words did betray us Did bury our past Cry blasphemy
Cancer masters instinct Sad passive release
Come Alive
Take my dear ones The use of this spell may serve too well
Our mouth is our chalice Our tongue our sword
And truth holds a dozen doors One thrown open wide shall yield one more
Yet mystery remains above their eyes
Come Alive
What do you think is its purpose? Do you know of any other rock bands that write songs intended to be magical (beyond the normal feeling music gives you)?

Paranoid? No. I'm a great lover of the written word, plus I'm interested in this sort of thing. I know that the band members are interested in some way with neo-paganism, so I thought I'd ask some people who use magick what they thought of it. That's all. Always interested in the intent of an author.

It's a remarkably poetic and cryptic passage with references to magickal rites that certainly could be used as a "spell" (more of a Wiccan or witch sort than a ceremonial magick sort) but it probably isn't a spell per se.
The quiessentient magickal song (although not a spell), I think, is Stairway to Heaven. It is full of alchemical and hermetic references.

As an ex-Wiccan I'd say it's more touching on the truths of things, and feelings, rather than as a "spell", but then one would have to ask the musician about their intent to be sure.

I'd have to hear it...if it's as amazing as Loreena McKennitt than I'd say yes.
*dances* "Bonfires dot the rolling hillside.....figures dance around and around...to drums that pulse out echoes of darkness moving to the Pagan sound...

It's purpose is only to entertain. Paranoid much?
