About This Song
I remember going to church as a kid and reading about false gods and false prophets in the Old Testament. They were sort of strange but powerful figures.
As a kid you don't necessarily realize that these figures aren't unique to the old testament— they're with us throughout history and today too.
And I guess that's what I was thinking about when I wrote this song— the idea of false prophets and false gods that are with us even today.
Hope that makes sense. ♥️
Lyrics
Whatever trouble ascends
Babylon to Bethlehem
I can feel it moving through
I can feel it moving through
Seven miles off the coast
The buried spirit below
I can feel it moving through
I can feel it moving through
Sunken god made do it
Sunken god made do it
Sunken god made do it
Sunken god made do it
Now rise up believers!
To your devoted leader!
Here to animate spirit!
Give birth to a fever!
The twisted conceiver!
Painted up in patinas!
Held up to the sky!
Fifth en haut ballerina!
All broken deceivers!
Schemers and seers!
Bang your head to floor!
To hear the call of the deceiver!
Cause the undulating curse!
Stewing deep beneath the earth!
One day it will burst!
And bring forth the disease.
