Hurt - Rapture + Lyrics

In the life of the wrong a love lingered on,
Love lingered on to frustration.
And if our love is so wrong, what should we do alone?
Or am I just a picture in a photograph?
Why are we stuck in this pantomime fearing a god who died?
One who would not deny lovers?
And I don't care what they say, if what you need is your faith,
Then take a look at my face and know

That till your rapture falls to pieces
Until your rapture falls to pieces
Find in me the room to breathe,
Simple things like suffering
Life had gone this way
Life is gone this way

Still in the life of the wrong we all moved along
Another life evolved to gestation
And so we made our way with the mistake we made
But she was just a picture from a photograph

So she walked in the baby's room
Knowing what she should do leave me in
Absolute horror
She put her hand on its lip she gave it
One last kiss
And sang some tune that went

Until your rapture falls to pieces
Till your rapture falls to pieces
Find in me the room to breathe,
Simple things are suffering

And I would and I would, destroy your god
Yes I would if I could destroy your god
Because you're born again
Until you're worn again,

Until your rapture falls to pieces
Till your rapture falls to pieces
Find in me the room to breathe,
Sinful things like suffering
Till your rapture falls to pieces
Till your rapture falls to pieces

But, if this must be, then burn with me
Anything
Just don't leave
So find in me the room to breathe
Sinful things like suffering
Till your rapture falls to pieces

She swore she heard the voice of Jesus
Telling her it was wrong to keep it
And one more thing, it looked like me
Back when it breathed
Rest in peace
Until the rapture comes to meet us

DUDE SOUNDS LIKE IF DISTURBED AND TOOL HAD SEX AND THIS IS WHAT THEY PRODUSED

@ZZDrocker avenged sevenfold is blatantly christian in it's imagery, and no one but fools think otherwise. btw having atheistic lyrics doesn't necessarily mean your anti-god, and any way this song is about over-obsession in religion.

[bigshoewc]

Actually, this song follows the story of Faust almost verbatim at times. Which I guess would make it have some religious ties in some ways. I can't imagine that its just a coincidence that it follows the story so closely, so it had to be on purpose. It seems like he took the legend of Faust and put his own spin on it and tied it to his personal experiences.

@8608malachi Now, which one was that? There've been too many to count.

@NinjaSkittlez its about that bitch who fuckin drowned her kids a while back i dont remember where it was but she said that she heard the voice of jesus tellin her to do it

[fbrdj]

@NinjaSkittlez Well, your guess is as good as anyone's, but it looks like we all have the same basic idea :)

[lawltaxcuts]

"Why are we stuck in this pantomime fearing a god who died?

One who would not deny lovers?"

That right there shows that this song is not anti-god, but rather about mental illness and possibly religious fanaticism. When its talking about destroying her God, I think he means destroying the source of her obsession/illness.

[NinjaSkittlez]

@fbrdj By the sounds of it.. It sounds like it is actually Post-Partum Psychoses.. Which would afflict the mother after birth causing her to "hear the voice of Jesus"... Of course everyone loves to bash organized religion by using people that have mental illness... I find it hillarous... If I spelled anything wrong.. My bad.

[IAmDimiara]

i think the idea that a god who'd allow such pain in an existence doesn't need praise. they are making a point about the fact that maybe we are wrong and the fact people do this and kill there babies for all reasons. maybe god doesn't exist or does. but to worship him is a dumb idea for some.

[LeoniidasWK]

@fbrdj The singers parents were catholic extremists

[Jedidew]

@fbrdj Christian in imagery, yes, but they aren't a Christian band, and no one in the band is a complete practicing Christian. Not trying to say that you're wrong, but its not like they're trying to put the 'word of God' out there lol. Whether you're Christian or not (I'm not), any religious text has art to it, and makes for a good musical direction. For instance, Metallica has drawn lyrical inspiration from Buddhism. Doesn't mean they're a Buddhist band

@slayer16able you mean if this were the baby they had that was strangled
