Sacred Ground

Storm every temple and claim god as yourself. Kill it. And let us feast on this divinity as if our very lives depend on it. Live. Sweet libertine. Live. Embrace every horizon. Time honored tradition crumbles in the hands of a timeless romantic. These statues. This concrete edifice of patriarchs and prophets. Foretold destruction at a glance. We will see it fade. I'll watch my oppression die with you. Possessed by existence denied. A memory. I've tasted your salvation and it tastes like shit. The name on my lips is my own and the taste on my tongue is freedom. Push me into the ground once more and watch this blossom eclipse your throne. [Explanation: Christianity was forced onto the indigenous people of "Europe" through genocide and assimilation in much the same way the people of Europe forced it on other indigenous peoples around the globe. The history of monotheist imperialism reads more like a cycle of child abuse, continued with each generation. This song is against 'the way, the truth, and the light' when it does not recognize other ways, other truths, and goes about extinguishing other lights. This song is not about the teachings of Jesus, it's about oppression and finding freedom in whatever you hold sacred in your life.]
