about

Religion and spirituality, while not completely condemning them, will only make us burrow into excessive individualism, and forget the purpose of social change. Then, we say, "Why should I worry about the world? This is only a painful test, and in death, I shall find paradise/enlightenment." How will we understand humanity when we adopt such ideas that make us stray from it?

lyrics

I spoke with a priest about the holes in his hands
Which he had gotten from prayer.
And how holiness has made him bleed on everything he touches
Leaving his blessed in terror.
He longs to understand humanity in his holy castle,
Diligent in praise;
Fortified from the world, receiving horrifying wounds
That disturbs his congregations gaze.

So many holy men take numerous paths to hide from their species;
Maybe God is hiding, too, in cathedrals or mountains
To only exist in mystery,
Pondering human condition far from humanity
In microscopic studying,
Stepping back so far, human life becomes like an impressionist painting;

Like Father, like son.
