Lyrics
They Stretch Out Their Hands
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The fire's light casts shadows across the faces of abandoned gods.
looming stone monoliths stand silently as a pantheon of superstition burns: emotional immolation.
the thorned crown of self sacrifice,
the horns and fur of immature rebellion,
the false personification of nature--gives way to this passionate holocaust,
to a reawakening of reason,
to the triumph of the will.
the stars' dull shine offers not approval nor any earthly feeling.
it only illuminates our naked forms.
throw your frail bodies down.
throw your white bodies down.
throw your skinny bodies down.
throw your pale bodies down
