Though I am not a college trained theology expert, I think I understand a possible meaning. Jesus is the star. Prior to this time, he had times of great popularity with many people (the star that lately shone, for example at the "triumphal entry"). Now he is near to the time of being crucified and is praying "if it is possible, let this cup pass". Even his disciples aren't staying awake and praying with him. He feels dimmed.

What type of christian is daron malakian?

I don't believe he takes the Bible literally ~ perhaps more metaphorically. You can kind of hear that in certain songs, like at the end of Toxicity: "When I became the SUN (the literal interpretation is SON) I shone life into the man's heart". It is very obvious that he (and/or the band) is not too keen on the hijacking of the monotheistic religions via Globalism (aka, the War Machine).

Where can you get lyrics of 'Slaney Valley'?

Slaney Valley Asthoreen Bawn,when first we met, I can see the roses yet, And the light tht lit your little eyes of blue. I can hear your sweet voice say Welcome as the flowers in May In a dream, and when I whispered back to you Chorus: Will you come with me asthore When the summer day is o'er And the rooks are winging homeward in the sky? When the mountains fade away On a field of gold and grey, We'll go home to Slaney Valley, you and I. Asthoreen Bawn, when you said yes, Brim full was my happiness. Summer sped as ne'er before on flying feet Never shone the moon so bright In a starry cape of night. Never sang the thrushes so divinely sweet. Chorus: Asthoreen Bawn for years you've been In my heart it's rightful queen, Ever loving, ever tender, ever true. Like the sun your smile has shone, gladdening all it glowed upon, As it did when first I whispered back to you. Chorus:
