Wretch
Revelations of Divine Conflict
Lyrics
Chews the fat with his creator
Engages in a conversation with his creator
Over breakfast in the sunlight
Shares a meal with the creator in the morning sunlight
Through when he says grace,
Expresses gratitude or respect during a mealtime prayer
When he says grace, he feels enveloped like a shadow
Feels a sense of envelopment, perhaps spiritual, during the prayer
There are evenings when this decimated world of movement, colour, form,
Describes a world that is gradually diminishing in vitality
Is thin and getting thinner
Suggests a thinning of the world's essence and substance
When lights are dim and getting dimmer
Portrays a decrease in light, both literal and metaphorical
when nights are grim and they're only getting,
Describes worsening conditions during nights, emphasizing grimness
Only getting grimmer
Highlights a continual increase in severity and unpleasantness
As they barter their boulders and martyr their soldiers,
Depicts exchanges involving heavy burdens and sacrifices
Teach a man to tear her fucking head from her goddamn shoulders
Suggests a violent lesson, teaching brutality and aggression
Held into the sun by the threads of her hair,
Describes a woman held up by her hair, possibly symbolic of control
They impart a secret hatred from their fathers to their heirs
Indicates the transmission of a deep-seated animosity from one generation to the next
Suppressed and unaddressed the simple fact remains unspoken,
Addresses an unspoken truth that is repressed and ignored
In silence left unbroken, on a bed bound and gagged
Portrays a person restrained and silenced, possibly by societal norms
With culture, language, myth and law: our Goddess gave birth to your God
Points out the origin of certain beliefs and deities, emphasizing a maternal role
From a wounded womb where her flesh scarred and raw
Describes the birth of a god from a wounded and scarred maternal source
Our Goddess gave birth to your God
Reiterates the idea that the speaker's goddess gave birth to the listener's god
