The Gospel According To Erinyes

from Groundhog Years by Upinatem

/

lyrics

For almost a whole decade, just a fantastical dream twisted as a multi-purpose straw man for the scheme that led to a near-genocidal war in the wrong land. Behold the awesome power of the hatred of one man. Surprise! The guy you said was soft on terror, with surgical precision, split his head. And as the streets filled like it was VJ Day, my expected jubilation turned to dread. Don't get me wrong because I'm glad that fucker's dead, but I do not portend to be more Christian than usted. If Torah justice is all we ever seek, I think we'll find 'eye for an eye' will truly leave the whole world fucking blind. It's funny, the schlemiel you said would error on pussing out just laid your fears to rest, and proved you needn't wipe out a whole village for your righteous indignation I detest. When you forsake the distinguishing teaching that justified your claim of 'civilized,' you disqualify the effect of religion and compartmentalize what you've defined, exposing the lust for control in your designs. When all is said and done, we see that the effects of one man's blow can't be atoned by sinking his ass 12 fathoms below. There's no way I'm the only one who recalls their jubilation as our people died. Well chalk it up to fucked up human nature, lost irony respective of each side.
