Lyrics
There is a place in hell for you
There's a designated place in hell reserved for you.
For each minute suffered, for each day survived
For every moment of pain endured and each day survived, there's a reckoning.
Paradise lost to heavens and hells
Reference to the loss of an ideal state of paradise, exploring both heavenly and hellish aspects.
Have we emerged as that fallen grace?
Are we now the embodiment of fallen grace, having strayed from an ideal state?
As adam who casts the first stone
Comparing oneself to Adam, who initiated blame by casting the first stone.
As eve who is first raped
Referencing Eve's suffering, being the first victim of violation.
Sister rise up to take your place
An urging for women to rise and reclaim their power and position.
Shatter our hearts - rearrange us as one
Seeking a transformation of hearts, aiming for unity among individuals.
So I may know beauty as well as hate
Expressing a desire to comprehend both beauty and hatred.
Sister rise up to take your place
A repetition emphasizing the call for women to assert themselves.
...and she writhes in tear-stained sheets
Depiction of a woman in distress, experiencing emotional turmoil.
Through fevered nightmares and whispered screams
Describing suffering through nightmares and whispered cries.
Gifts of filth from a heaven divine
Alluding to tainted gifts from a divine source.
Revealer of secrets and bringer of lies
Characterizing someone as a revealer of truths and purveyor of deceit.
as silently death is companion
Highlighting the silent presence of death as a constant companion.
Through each breath of death she takes
Describing the pain and suffering of a woman with every breath she takes.
Hers is an anguish he can never know or understand
The woman's anguish is unique and incomprehensible to others.
Under the shelter of his heaven we dance
Under the guise of safety or protection, there's suffering and anticipation of violation.
And await the violations his angels bring
Waiting for the torment inflicted by those deemed angelic or pure.
In this world that is hell
The current world is depicted as a version of hell.
sister rise up to take your place
A repetition, emphasizing the call for women to assert themselves.
Shatter our hearts - rearrange us as one
Seeking emotional transformation for unity once more.
So I may know beauty as well as hate
Desire to comprehend both beauty and hatred reiterated.
Sister rise up to take your place
Repeated urging for women to reclaim their place.
shatter our hearts and rearrange us as one
A repetition, emphasizing the need for emotional transformation and unity.
Have we emerged as that fallen grace?
Raising the question again: Have we become that fallen grace?
for she who is lost
Reference to a woman who's lost or adrift.
For she who is shamed
A woman burdened with shame.
For she who the world looks black
For the woman whose world seems bleak or darkened.
Wonder not whose heaven crushes you
Don't wonder which version of paradise crushes you when offered only sin and subjugation.
When sin and slavery is all that is offered you
When all that's provided is sin and enslavement, there's no surprise in the resulting suffering.
