@jootoob1000 I know what lol stands for....what does "hahahahahahahahhahaha" stand for?
-
@jootoob1000 That is true, even though it's a non-sequitur. You know, I'm starting to get kinda pissed off at the 16 people who voted my first damn comment to be the top one. I'm getting sick of replying to replies about what the song means. We should start commenting about the Ennio Morricone influence.

@MonstroMuggins I'll give you subjective dude, you try Michael Gira screaming at you at full force for 2 hours, that's one subjective-frickin experience!

If you know that story, you might become even more aware, of the overwhelming power delivered thru this song

Pray to understand the meaning of His Words:
"It is mercy that I desire, not sacrifice"

...but then, as Abraham was about to follow through in his obedience to God,
God stopped Abraham, God stilled Abraham's hand. And, then nearby, Abraham and Isaac discovered a lamb ( trapped in brush I think), that they could offer to God, for the ritual and required Sacrifice.
If you know the story of Jesus Christ in the New Testament, then you know that similarly, He was our perfect sacrifice, and as such, we are no longer required to offer 'holocausts' to God.
I think the song is about Abraham. Abraham did not know whether it was God or Satan asking him to sacrifice his own son. He was prepared to do it nonetheless. He chose to believe it was God. Choosing to believe is what religious people call faith, and it often involves killing innocents.

I would listen to this whilst tripping balls but I would worry about it becoming a traumatizing experience.
