Sheepherder
Embrace the Conduit: A Dark Anthem of Allegiance and Liberation
Lyrics
Allow me to remove the burden of thought
Encourages surrendering the burden of independent thought.
Put your faith into the one true messiah
Urges placing faith in a singular messiah figure.
We are legion for we are many
Asserts a collective identity, emphasizing unity and strength.
Hollow seeds in the ground will not grow but rot and our crops can't grow on tainted soil
Warns against cultivating on contaminated ground, using it metaphorically for an unhealthy foundation.
Either listen or you better pray
Presents a binary choice: either listen or face consequences.
Herrd the sheep in both directions
Directs controlling or manipulating people in both directions.
It's the only choice that you have left
Posits limited options, emphasizing a lack of alternatives.
Prey to prepackaged perfection
Suggests worshiping a manufactured, flawless ideal.
Pledge your allegiance or the alternative is death
Demands allegiance, framing dissent as a fatal alternative.
Line em up
Implies a command to organize or manipulate individuals.
Light em up
Suggests taking action, potentially violent, to assert dominance.
Cock it back and let those mother fuckers know what's up
Advocates forceful confrontation to establish dominance.
If this a dog eat dog world then we are the wolves
Portrays the group as predators in a competitive world.
Join the cattle and find yourself fucked in slaughterhouse
Warns against conforming, using a slaughterhouse metaphor for a dire fate.
Join the cattle and find yourself fucked in slaughterhouse
Reiterates the dire consequences of conformity.
Feel the relief wash over as you succumb to me
Suggests submission to the speaker as a source of relief.
We are all one so you won't be needing this body
Implies detachment from physical existence for unity.
Fodder for the cannons the corpses will line the fucking street
Describes individuals as mere cannon fodder in a conflict.
The bell of liberty
Symbolizes a distorted version of liberty or freedom.
Let freedom ring
Ironically associates freedom with control and manipulation.
Close your eyes
Suggests closing off awareness to external influences.
Let us do the rest
Encourages reliance on the speaker to handle matters.
You're either with or you are against us
Divides individuals into for or against categories.
Let the fight of brothers commence
Encourages conflict between those with differing views.
Your prayers are falling on deaf
Dismisses the efficacy of prayers, suggesting futility.
Ears spilling blood while your eyes are plucked right from your skull
Depicts a gruesome scene, emphasizing brutality and suffering.
Tonngue on the floor
Describes a loss of speech and sight as a consequence.
You won't need to see or speak anymore
Emphasizes the finality of the silenced state.
For we are one
Asserts a unified identity among the group.
Accept me as your conduit
Requests acceptance of the speaker as a conduit for unity.
Free will comes with pain
Associates free will with pain, suggesting its relinquishment.
Let me relieve you of your misery
Offers relief from suffering through submission to the speaker.
