the soiled ground for the sacrifice
dispelled. crippling. faulty. holyland.
i am your martyr, your stigmata
the tears turn to blood beneath my eyes.
my body listens... as you whisper
my fingers bend... as im nailed to your cross.
the splinters etch... hearts in my back
i denounce this crucifixtion, i demand another sacrifice.
a cast shadow over this narrow hill
pulling my fingers from these nails
there will be no use for a second comming
dispelled. crippling. faulty. holyland.
i am your martyr, your stigmata
the tears turn to blood beneath my eyes.
my body listens... as you whisper
my fingers bend... as im nailed to your cross.
the splinters etch... hearts in my back
i denounce this crucifixtion, i demand another sacrifice.
a cast shadow over this narrow hill
pulling my fingers from these nails
there will be no use for a second comming

"a cast shadow over this narrow hill
pulling my fingers from these nails"
again
I'm thinking this whole stanza is explaining the life of the person being walked all over emphasize on the whole "I'am your marytr, your stigmata" sentence. This is telling you how much the person is devoted. As is the rest of that stanza.
"The soiled ground for the sacrifice
dispelled. crippling. faulty. holyland.
i am your martyr, your stigmata
the tears turn to blood beneath my eyes.
my body listens... as you whisper
my fingers bend... as im nailed to your cross"
And the whole rest of the song explains how devoted the person is only to be fucked over by the person they are doing all this shit for.
"The splinters etch... hearts in my back
i denounce this crucifixtion, i demand another sacrifice.
a cast shadow over this narrow hill
pulling my fingers from these nails
there will be no use for a second comming"
And thats my guess
If you know anything about Albert Fish, you'll know he killed many other little children and stuck pins in himself, as well as other things, as punishment. The hook here is that he believed he was instructed by God to do these things, therefore making him a prophet. So the lyrics are all about him "sacrificing children" for God, and then later punishing himself.
And this is one of the songs that makes me believe the entire album is a concept album about Albert Fish. Yep. Makes Sense!
