Libertheme Lyrics
It canst get no better
When days turn from black to grey
In church ov indifference
So innocent in their guilt
Perfect in their imperfection
Let my children play
When doubts and fears wither away
I stand alone vs. the world
In the church ov man
Where god is trapped in human flesh
I never pray
In church ov pain
I spoil none but myself
Yet my monologue's unheard
Yearning for Thy sweet embrace
The waters ov Styx I have crossed
In this church ov sulphur rain
Flaming mouth ov Sheol
In my church ov broken word
It's so little that I ask
The brightest ov the days
The darkest ov the nights
I wish no longer be
Fear ov separation is no more
One cosmic breath-the whole eternity
Unbroken flow ov awareness conquers entropy
Let them shine through me
Split the seas
Awake inner divinity
The flame ov awareness comes to my eyes
I think this song is about how Nergal feels about the "church" or religion in general. He is saying religion and faith can be a very good way to help you through hard times and that it is not all garbage that means nothing."in my church of liberation, where doubts and fears wither away..." The main thing he hates about religion and Christianity is all the power hungry leaders in organized Christianity, but what people truly believe in themselves he is fine with. "in the church of indifference, so innocent in their guilt. perfect in their imperfection..." in this verse he is almost speaking for god. the "evil" leaders of the church are guilting their followers into what they believe. then he goes on to say they think they are so perfect they are almost better than god. finally he is speaking as god when he writes, "let my children play". he is saying that people have a right to choose what to believe and what not to believe. people need to find what is right for them. the final two stanzas are saying that basically he used to be a catholic but has left that behind. he has found his way of thinking and is trying to communicate this message to his listeners. people need to find what ideology is right for them. -please comment on different ways you would interpret this song to be. i am interested to hear them!
one ov the best off the apostasy. ELU BEHEMOTH!
