Blessed Be the Damned
Blessed Be the Damned: Unveiling Profound Resilience in the Face of Adversity
Lyrics
Once I had some land and it wouldn't yield.
Struggling with unproductive land, facing hardship.
My hope gave way to ire out working in the field.
Hope turning into anger while working in the field.
So I climbed a tree to get closer to God.
Seeking spiritual connection by climbing a tree.
I said can you show mercy while my children pray and starve?
Pleading for mercy while witnessing the suffering of children.
We're not done we've just begun.
Emphasizing that there is more to do, a journey has just started.
Once we had a little but our little was a lot.
Had a modest amount, appreciating what they had.
We're not done we've just begun.
Reiterating that there's more to accomplish in life.
Our work is not over until we are dead and gone.
Commitment to work until the end of life.
Once I had a love but she had to leave.
Had a love that left prematurely, acknowledging her earned peace.
She left us way too early but I'd say she's earned her peace.
Expressing the pain and loss but accepting the departure.
So I grabbed a can of leaded gasoline.
Using drastic measures (gasoline) to reject a higher authority.
I burned it all to hell for his kingdom he can keep.
Symbolic act of rejecting divine influence for personal freedom.
I jumped in the river to wash it all away.
Attempting to cleanse and start anew by immersing in the river.
I came up with pneumonia and completely lacking faith.
Facing physical and spiritual consequences (pneumonia and loss of faith).
We're not done we've just begun.
Reiterating the journey has just begun, more to experience and achieve.
Once we had a little but our little was a lot.
Reflecting on having a modest life that meant a lot to them.
We're not done we've just begun.
Emphasizing that there's more to accomplish in life.
I don't need no bible I have seen the face of God.
Rejecting traditional sources of spirituality, claiming a personal encounter with God.
We're not done we've just begun.
Stating the journey is ongoing, more to explore and understand.
Our work is not over until we are dead and gone.
Commitment to work persistently until death.
We're not done we've just begun.
Reiterating that the journey is ongoing, more to experience and achieve.
Blessed be the damned for they have seen beneath the veil.
Acknowledging and honoring those who have seen beyond conventional truths.
