Yup, this is dark. But it sounds pretty damned fantastic.
Nine Inch Nail's "The Downward Spiral" has rocketed into my top 10 all-time favorite albums. I'm still not exactly sure what the other nine are, but when I figure it out, I'll list them in this space.
Anyway, recent events in the world make this song really relevant for me. I'm in another one of my "play loud or go home" moods. Last time, it was more punk. This time, there's a very heavy industrial slant. Some pretty heavy stuff. But it makes for a slightly better commute, and the killing of all things in World of Warcraft is greatly enhanced with NIN and Ministry. Here be lyrics and the song.
Heresy
Nine Inch Nails
he sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see
he tries to tell me what I put inside of me
he's got the answers to ease my curiosity
he dreamed up a god and called it Christianity
your god is dead and no one cares
if there is a hell I will see you there
he flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line
he made a virus that would kill off all the swine
his perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and pain
demands devotion atrocities done in his name
your god is dead and no one cares
drowning in his own hypocrisy
and if there is a hell I will see you there
burning with your god in humility
will you die for this
