I am the god of gods
Master of the arts
I desecrate the chaste
Writhe in the flesh

Blasphemy

Chant the blasphemy
Mockery of the messiah
We curse the holy ghost
Enslaver of the weak
God of lies and greed
God of hypocrisy
We laugh at your bastard child
No god shall come before me

Blaspheme the ghost
Blaspheme the ghost
Blaspheme the ghost
Blasphemy of the holy ghost

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law
Rebel against the church
Drink from the chalice of blasphemy
Rise up against the enslaver

    This song truly lives up to it's title. To Blaspheme the Holy Ghost is the one sin you cannot be forgiven for (As far as I can tell).

    It's also the only song I know of that blasphemes the Holy Ghost, the sentiment of irreversable damnation scares the shit out of a lot of Aethiests.

    Complete with the quote from Aleister Crowley's Book of the Law, this is a truly Theleman, if not Satanic Song.

    Aside from it's content, its got a great sound. Even if it was done in 1989.

    ..., this has some of the best lyrics for a song, it is true if you are a pure anti-christ too, but i understand their hatred

    Whoa.... Zanarath is right, the bible (I can't remember where) states that Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the ultimate sin, and the only one for which there is no forgiveness. To be honest, while I listen to way heavier shit than this, this song still kind of freaks me out not the music or the vocals (both seem kind of gay and silly) it's just the concept, it's difficult to think that someone would actually go this far...

    whoa hold on a sec guiffporn, this is a fucking SONG. who the fuck said that they actually do this shit? and quit trying to sound tough and cool "i listen to way heavier shit than this." yeah right, limp bizkit and slipknot don't count.

    anyway, that being said, this song kicks ass. Pete Sandoval absolutely slaughters his drum set on this song.

    the lyrics are not for the weak (that means you MTV fans)

    Whats your problem dude? I'm not trying to sound "tough and cool" Limp Bizkit? are you joking? I listen to bands like Slayer, Converge, Killswitch Engage,lamb of God, God Forbid, Death and Obituary (among others). I was just making a point, that it's the concept that makes this song heavy for me, not the music.

    God Forbid, Killswitch Engage, and Converge are all part of this new vomit scene Metalcore which is being passed off as metal and being played alongside bands like Obituary, Suffocation, etc. Those aforementioned bands sing of emo bullsh*t and veganism, not blasphemy. Morbid Angel is ten times as heavier and evil than the mess you mentioned, minus Slayer, Obituary, and Death.

    Ok, first off, Converge are Hardcore. I really don't give a shit if a band is evil or not, I listen to the bands I listen to, because they make good music. Killswitch Engage are producing some of the best heavy metal for years, and their song lyrics are deep, the end of the world, spirituality and the death of loved ones, being just a few of the topics covered in their songs.

    Disregarding a band because their lyrics are not blasphemous is fucking stupid, and suggests that you are less interested in good music and more in trying to look evil and intense, which quite frankly is pathetic.

    It should only matter if the song sounds good to the listener. I don't see the point in subgenres.

    And for the record, Trey Azagthoth is a practicing Satanist (similar to angelfire.com/ny5/dvera/ ), but they add semi-Lovecraft (actually Simon-Necronomicon) themes to some of their songs.

    Morbid Angel Rulez, quiffgay doesn't understand a thing about metal, because he doesn't listen to it... just see what he says: "I listen to way heavier shit than this", like killswitch engange, god forbid and all that pseudo-metal shit.. The only heavy band he listens to is Fat Family, now that's a HEAVY band.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
