This Is the Law of the Plague Lyrics

Cover art for This Is the Law of the Plague lyrics by Diamanda Galás

It's my understanding that these lyrics are adapted from the Biblical book Leviticus. My very simple background knowledge is that her brother was gay, they were very close siblings, and then he got sick and died from AIDS. She was disgusted by the homophobia of the church and population at large. To me it sounds like pure, unbridled despair and rage.

(There's a funny video on YouTube of her talking about how much of a homophobic Axl Rose was.)
