Priest
Unveiling Deception: Emerald Street's Poetic Critique
Lyrics
It's been such a fine day at Sunday school
Reflecting on a positive day at Sunday school
We're having fun
Enjoying the time and having fun
Priest politician inside his Bible
Highlighting a priest who is also involved in politics, holding a Bible, and carrying a gun
He's got a gun
Suggesting a potential contradiction or conflict in the priest's role
Out in the courtyard, Father Mackenzie is drooling
Describing Father Mackenzie in the courtyard exhibiting inappropriate behavior
Over the elementary
Implies the priest's interest in elementary matters, possibly inappropriate
Maybe he's been fooling with the bottle
Suggesting the priest may have a drinking problem
As he walks on the stage
Depicting the priest walking onto the stage
I drew a line to change
Expressing the artist's intention to make a significant change
The world's perception on the art of deception
Commenting on the deceptive nature of the world and the need for a shift in perception
Something is so strange turning the dark page
Noting a sense of strangeness and a turn in a darker direction
We're in a different dimension
Suggesting a shift to a different, possibly unsettling dimension
He walks out on the alter the weeping clown
Describing a clown figure on the altar, emotionally affected
The weeping clown
Repeating the image of the weeping clown
Mixing scotch and holy water to wash his problems down
Depicting the priest mixing alcohol with holy water to cope with his issues
He's wearing a frown
Indicating the priest's sadness or dissatisfaction
Out in the courtroom Father Mackenzie is stealing
Portraying Father Mackenzie stealing money in a courtroom setting
Money from the jar
Highlighting the priest's questionable actions and potential moral decay
Maybe he's been feeling a little blue
Suggesting the priest may be feeling down or depressed
He's at the bar
Placing the priest at a bar, potentially addressing his emotional struggles
I drew a line to change
Reiterating the artist's intention to bring about change
The world's perception on the art of deception
Re-emphasizing the deceptive nature of the world and the need for altered perceptions
Something is so strange turning the dark page
Reiterating the sense of something strange and a turn towards darkness
We're in a different dimension
Reaffirming the existence of a different, potentially unsettling dimension
I drew a line to change
Repeating the artist's determination to bring about change
The world's perception on the art of deception
Reiterating the deceptive nature of the world and the need for altered perceptions
Something is so strange
Reiterating the sense of something strange
turning the dark
Reiterating the turn towards darkness
