about

Regarding the substitution

lyrics

Amidst brothers at war
The sound of a cease fire captivates

Remove the tunicate
Let red run slow
Restraints unshackled
The taste of blood will be known

The insatiable vice
Eye for eye
Can’t be denied

Violence beckons a body
To sink its teeth into
Past the trembling hands
A surrogate comes

Gather the kindling
The dead for the living
Bound alive, my hatred on display

The innocent beast
Becomes the ravenous feast
At the banquet of vitriol and revenge

And as we swallow,
The bitterness follows
The taste for blood finally subsides

Stricken by horror as I strike the offering

Rise up, take the knife from the father
Hand in hand, together we’ll slaughter it
The thicket becomes an ellipse
This ravenous anger, wholly eclipsed
Fratricide drains from its body
Not a drop remains of animosity

Sink your teeth into the ram in the thicket
And behold your brother’s smile
