Blessed be thy torment; Bound to the cadaver of the righteous Our dutiful dead;
Dispose of this land in renewed valour For we have slain the pitiful Scoured this repugnant plain With our cleansing touch
With vigour I blind my sight Tranquil I resign my fate Willing I cut my loins For you have bled for us You have died for us
Bind up thy wicked tongues Sew shut her shameful lust Burn up the sodomites For they have wronged you They have opposed you
Our vainglorious divinity Fertile manure of the oppressed Seething in cruor of the devout Lives shed in adoration of you
Pardon the meek inheritance Your words blanch skin bleach white Cast out all other creeds Gomorra filth; worthless kin
Darwin’s soiled grievance Truth outweighed by the dumb No reason in his domain
The deafening throng The rapturous ascent Of lives left in forfeit Our last lament
This selfish appraisal Lives lifted above Bereft of all love
Dominion theology is the term applied to fundamentalist christians who wish to seek a theocratic government within the US. A society where religion dictates the laws of the land. Fundamentalist christianity is plain in its objective. The oppression of women and non-caucasians, the eradication of homosexuals, the rejection of scientific proof. Radical christianity is one of the biggest threats to a progressive, accepting society. The lyrics in this song are written from the point of view of a fundamentalist, where their own choices hinder them from understanding the world around them and any drive to seek the truth is suppressed, burying their heads in fictional ideologies that have no place in society today. As a species we are capable of so much, but even now, after all this time, we find it so much easier to just ignore the bigger picture and accept flawed,ludicrous explanations which do nothing but stagnate our brains. Religion offers us nothing. Stand up and fight against tyrannical beliefs which seek to oppress your way of life, your way of thinking.
