No Picture Harry Average	#1 by Harry Johnson at Aug 2, 1970 at 12:21 AM EST
	Well, he certainly developed his growling since this song.

No Picture kyle Professional	#2 by kyle mcdonough at Dec 20, 1974 at 9:22 AM EST
	Such an epic masterpiece. Black Rose Immortal is one of the greatest metal tracks in history.

No Picture slapslappopslap Badass	#3 by slapslappopslap at Apr 23, 1977 at 4:50 PM EST
	I can't describe how much I love this song.

No Picture James Wanna Be	#4 by James Makowiecki at Jun 20, 1982 at 2:04 PM EST
	I think it's about a man who has lost his loved one. So he commits suicide. When you suicide, you go straight to hell, ("The gateways are closed for me to seek") meaning the gateway to heaven is closed, even though he is a good person ("My shadow is born from light"). She is in heaven, so they can't be together, but they often meet up. And he is waiting for the day where she will join him in hell, because that's the only way they can be together ("When we both walk the shadows").

No Picture isaac Average	#5 by isaac fritsch at Jul 21, 1984 at 10:35 AM EST
	Maybe the vampire is in love with a mortal human, but since the vampire lives forever, she eventually dies, and now he is regretting that he did not turn her into a vampire.. Or maybe he loved her so much he didnt want her to become a vampire like him, but still mourns her passing..

No Picture (DDD Bass Gu Rhythm Player	#6 by (DDD Bass Guitar/Backup Vocals) Jeff Fritts at May 20, 1985 at 4:07 AM EST
	Martin Mendez still does bass.

No Picture Marks Average	#7 by Marks at Jun 18, 1986 at 8:00 PM EST
	Forget the vampire theory. IT MOST CERTAINLY IS ABOUT THE DEVIL. Very similar to The Grand Conjuration, actually. Basically, this guy is speaking to Satan, whom is nicknamed "black rose immortal" in this song.

No Picture Aaron Wanna Be	#8 by Aaron Howe at Jan 5, 1990 at 2:18 AM EST
	Yeah their old was Anders De Faralla or something... His work in To Bid You Farewell with 6-string bass is just amazing...

No Picture brad Average	#9 by brad everett at Apr 22, 1999 at 6:59 PM EST
	Well, he certainly developed his growling since this song. Too bad they dropped the bassist, he was really good.

No Picture The Masta The Muther F*ing Masta!	#10 by The Masta at Feb 26, 2005 at 9:41 PM EST
	This song looks like it's describing an invocation of satan as a final resort to a problem (loneliness, depression, whatever it is). The opening two lines show that it is a cry for help to someone. "I wear a naked soul" - saying his soul is exposed and vulnerable. "Eyes attached" through "but still so precious" talk about his communication with satan, saying that he speaks to satan in thoughts, even though satan is inaccessible, hidden in a "secret orchard." From "Lullaby of the crescent moon" to "divine herd" talks about how he was finally converted by the soothing nature (lullaby) of the night, and gave his soul up to satan. But he hides it, remains among the "divine herd," keeps his "golden symbol" hidden until the day comes that he can join satan (black rose immortal?). Anyway, that's my impression of the song, please help me out, I love this song and want to figure out exactly what it means . . .

No Picture Colin Wanna Be	#11 by Colin Gauld at Jul 20, 2005 at 6:26 AM EST
	sorry I meant Johan De Farfalla, damn Swedish names...
