Continuing throughout the caustic middle berth of The Holy Bible, this is one of the heaviest and most violent songs, and is certainly the most dense when the lyrics and music are bunched together. The structure isn’t complex, but it definitely appears that way given how breathlessly, impossibly the lyrics are spat out. There’s a creepy, incessant throng of insidious malevolence, the chorus is a guttural expulsion of anguish and disgust, the whole song feels like an exorcism, a cleansing of the blackest oil, but the sudden end suggests that nothing is resolved, nothing is better, and no amount of primal rage will diffuse the malignant vileness brooding inside.
Misheard Lyrics: 1. Your mother’s tea is rotten/Humanity’s another
2. Answers her cries
3. Life bleeds the signs of all the victims
Actual Lyrics: 1. Humanity’s recovered
2. Answers her crimes
3. Life is so silent for the victims
