Figurative Theatre Lyrics
In the shallow holes
of a thousand eyes
in the knee-deep graves
of future survivors
The fleshless guests live off
children of the past
Their aging fingers cast the
Shadow of Death
(Chorus)
Their razor sharp tongues
invite to relax
as they slip the skin of your
eyelids back
invasive spectators
get into the act
with roses and candles
silver knives and spoons
persona read women dance with
priests on a side road
your vision perspectives are
turning to stone
cabaret slide show starts
shooting their loads
Act one is the end, the show
now begins
(chorus)
Breath ballet prancers spin on
Porcelain backbone
a child's muddled cry turns into
hilarity
ungracious freeloaders leave their
dead on a doorstep
Flowers of doom bloom in prosperity
luxuries of past days are
luxuries of our days
of a thousand eyes
in the knee-deep graves
of future survivors
The fleshless guests live off
children of the past
Their aging fingers cast the
Shadow of Death
Their razor sharp tongues
invite to relax
as they slip the skin of your
eyelids back
invasive spectators
get into the act
silver knives and spoons
persona read women dance with
priests on a side road
your vision perspectives are
turning to stone
cabaret slide show starts
shooting their loads
Act one is the end, the show
now begins
Breath ballet prancers spin on
Porcelain backbone
a child's muddled cry turns into
hilarity
ungracious freeloaders leave their
dead on a doorstep
Flowers of doom bloom in prosperity
luxuries of past days are
luxuries of our days

Not sure the lyrics are correct but this sounds like a bold indictment of Judaism to me.
I'm unable to access the specific song page at the moment. If you could provide the song title or a brief description, I'd be happy to help craft a thoughtful comment for you! geometry dash 3d

For me, it seems to be speaking of the double life that many religious-fanatics live. They claim to be all-loving and merciful and virgins of the soil, but they are the ones most likely to spit in the face of someone that doesn't agree with them, or they're "shooting their loads" to cabaret slide shows, even though they took a vow of fidelity. Christian Death writes a lot about religious hypocrisy, especially in the firts album.
For me this likens organized religion to some kind of mad cult.
