1. “It” - DOWNLOAD AVAILABLE TO THE RIGHT ! ----->
(This is a song about the destruction of Babylon The Whore. It is inspired by the book of Revelation (The Bible). The word “it” is a pronoun referencing Babylon’s “face”, implying that her face is actually a mask. The “rapier” is the sword of truth used to destroy the “siren” (Babylon again). “He” is in reference to God, who will win in the end. So, this song is about identifying those who use deception to spread evil. Sometimes the deception is pervasive, and emotional appeals are often used to keep good people from pointing out and vanquishing this deception. This song dances around some of these types of emotional appeals, with the idea that those who may be “offended” by it are likely the types of people the song is about. That is, if you are offended by “It”, you probably don’t get “It”. There is a bit of poetic license used in this song, particularly concerning etymology (conduit, conduct, et cetera). Note: The phrase, “I & I” originates from Rastafarianism and has to do with a connection with God. The use here implies that the speaker is doing God’s work.)

I & I rip your face off as you’re breathing through it
De-mask the whores of filthish conduit
Go!

He owns it. We know it.

Glassy eyes lost in the blood-flow
Too late, the screams under the cry of the hate-crow
Go!

The siren slit, the rapier coming through!

Go!
