Inquisition Lyrics

blatant manner speak parting
bonding cement no longer holds
parting fits too young to grow old
addicted romance love tested
failing from substance abuse
wicked resenting never faces itself
torturer taints animal waits
no evironment torturer loving

righteous real-time intrusion
fears filtered for reasons unknown
cancer attack bleaching desserts so sweet
leaves bitter taste in the mouth forever
torturer taints animal waits
corners creeping fear
tasting force fed lies of the wicked
acting out fears false truth turned around
wicked torture wicked wicked
the wicked words of the torturer
abusing and controlling anyone thats useful to him
wicked waiting of the torturer
wicked waits the torturer

reads story truth seething
believed poison eaten
swallows turning away
torturer taints animal with hate
enlightenment turned away
no change the wicked not facing hisself
controls turning away
wicked torturer
force fed torment
animal torture
torturer turning away
wicked torturer
wicked not facing hisself
wicked turning away
wicked turning away
turning away disappears from himself
tortures the animal
tortures the animal

Cover art for Inquisition lyrics by Skinny Puppy

This song is a psychological environment; a place where our dualities bark to one another to change the scene. Within ourselves, we have both divine and dark desires. The dark within is the tormentor; the entity that shreds away our bonds to the naive and innocent. Wicked; the tormentor steals away before facing itself.

This song seems like a journal of a scientist doing animal experimentations.

The scientist who speaks in "blatant manner speak" is doing these experiments and taking notes.

"torturer taints animal waits"

^^^ The torturer does horrible things to this animal then waits to see the results while taking note of the change in the animal. This happens many times in the story.

"parting fits too young to grow old addicted romance love tested failing from substance abuse wicked resenting never faces itself torturer taints animal waits no environment torturer loving"

^^^ This first experiment sounds like the scientist wants to see what happens when the animal is separated from its family.

"righteous real-time intrusion fears filtered for reasons unknown cancer attack bleaching desserts so sweet leaves bitter taste in the mouth forever torturer taints animal waits"

^^^ perhaps the animal is drugged and doesn't understand why it feels so pleasant. It's because the scientist is feeding it "desserts" and taking notes of the effects.

"the wicked words of the torturer abusing and controlling anyone thats useful to him"

^^^ this reflects the attitude of vivisection and animal testing. Any animal that is useful to these lab scientists they will abuse and control.

"reads story truth seething believed poison eaten swallows turning away torturer taints animal with hate enlightenment turned away no change the wicked not facing hisself"

I think it is the scientist who is not facing himself and he's putting aside his sympathy for the animal. Even though the truth appears to him, he forces himself to ignore it.

My Interpretation

Is there more than one version of this song? When I listen to it there are some lines up here that are very clearly not there.

There's a pitch-shifted voice at the end of the second verse that I cannot understand at all (except three words) is this Ogre or is it one of the sound clips these guys love so much? What it says is most certainly not on here.
