Sacrifice won’t suffice
resurrection needs your death
to happen twice (perhaps he speaks of how jesus is supposed to come again, twice)
fall on my heart
and burn and forge
your tortured black-smitten
into the sharpest, fucking sword (the dark destruction of him? make it a weapon)
don’t assume that I’m always with you
It’s just where my mortal body happens to be (I dont like being here any more than you do,no choice)
No Sineater to slay (no bad man to kill)
Us Children of Cain (people like me are the "bad men")
Watching monkey suicide, (monkey is a reference to stupid people)
Sunday AIDS and church wine wash it away (cal themselves christian and what ever they do wont matter)
So take your little black book (bible)
I see the way that you look in to it
I’ll eat it and I’ll cut my tongue
And all the pages you spread,
Sweet as honey you said (sounds good to you)
But I’m choking on your bitter stories (sounds bad to me)
i think the song as a whole is in reference to people are looked down on for not being religious, but to him religion is the bad in society. theres no bad people here (no sineater to say) we dont have a choice who we share this world with. and Cain is a reference to the murdering brother, who we "are all children of"
