about

“On 18th April 1634 in the town of Loudun in France, a Jesuit priest
Urbain Grandier was burned at the stake. He had been convicted of
sorcery, being seen by law as responsible for the possession of a convent
of nuns. Grandier was shaved from head to toe, tortured, doused in holy
water, dragged through the streets of Loudun and burned to death.

On the 7th February 2013 in the town of Mount Hagen in Papau New
Guinea, 20 year old mother Kepari Leniata was seized by a mob and
accused of causing the death of a 6 year old child from the town. She was
stripped naked and tortured until she ‘confessed’ to using black magic to
cause the child’s death. She was then dragged to a rubbish dump, doused
in petrol and burned to death in front of hundreds of onlookers.”

lyrics

Throughout history
there’ve been those who’ve conspired
to put to death innocents
on the premise of falsified
witness and testimony
they’ve abused their power.

Dictators, cardinals,
barons, lords of agencies
who keep a grip on their power but who
could be deposed of their arrogance and
actually do some good.

Because seeking evil in others
does not improve yourself

Subjective Reality Doused in holy water
Believing falsely I took the bailiff’s daughter
Repressing new ideas laid upon the altar
Keeping parallel there for all to see
(to tradition)

Protect the orthodoxy Yet I am no sorcerer
Persecuting heresy I really think you oughta
Ennoblement of examine your support for
bigotry proceeds the Subjective Reality

But it’s all in your head

They’re crowning make believe
and doing it legally
Subjective reality -
immune to fact, logic and law
when thirteen judges
could not arrange a fair trail

And it’s still happening today
In countries not too far away
Second class citizenry
And while you seek the devil in others
You do not improve yourself

In celibacy, in women, in lack of rights
wytch trials are consecrated


Subjective Reality Doused in holy water
Believing falsely I took the bailiff’s daughter
Repressing new ideas laid upon the altar
Keeping parallel there for all to see
(to tradition)

Protect the orthodoxy Yet I am no sorcerer
Persecuting heresy I really think you oughta
Ennoblement of examine your support for
bigotry proceeds the Subjective Reality


Doused in holy water
Subjected to torture
Taken to Place Sainte-Croix
there for all to see

‘Forgive them my enemies’
Same mistake, different century
examine your support for
the Subjective Reality
