Cover art for Sangre lyrics by Amenta, The

Saint Longinus was a Roman soldier who pierced Jesus on his side with his 'Spear Of Destiny' while he was on the Cross. In some recounts, it was said that the touch of Jesus' blood cured Longinus' blindness. The title of this song "Sangre" is Spanish for "blood", so this song is a stab (no pun intended) at religion being "the opiate of the masses".
