Trapped in Matter

Matter is bad
Matter is evil
All flesh derives from the realm of darkness
Partaking of flesh weights the spirit down
so that it can no longer fly to God
Matter is bad
Matter is evil
Experience the formless reign
In the sphere of nothingness
In the sphere of neither cognition nor non-cognition
The more insubstantial the foods
the closer the body could come to the gods
Matter is bad
Matter is evil
All flesh’s born of coition
Sex is impure
It propagates more matter
The purpose of life
is not to become entangled
in the material world
but to remain on the edge
on the outside
Life trapped in matter...
Matter is bad
Matter is evil
Mouth's a sepulchre for animals
Soul incarcerated in the body as in a tomb
Light particles like insects in amber
Matter is bad
Matter is evil
Cosmic battle of light and darkness
Wisdom and folly
Good and evil
Mind and body
A battle between life and death
Life trapped in matter and flesh.

Before The Fall
03:26
|
|

Before the Fall
Distant memory
of peace and plenty
A past when no blood was shed
No blood stained men’s lips
Non-violent, vegetarian
No killing, no pain
After the Fall
A world of thorns,
thistle, slaughter and ills
Cain tiller of fields
gave fruits to God
Abel keeper of sheep
gave a sheep to God
God preferred Abel
Cain killed Abel
God doomed Cain
Flood
Noah
New era
Murder
Noah cooked meat
and smelled a sweet savour
Before the Fall
Meat is for God
Veggies for men
After the Fall
Blood belongs to God
Meat is for men
The setting apart of blood is sacred
for murder to be avoided
Now that men killed God
both meat and blood are for them.

Metempsychosis
07:39
|
|

Killing animals is killing people
Eating animals is eating people
And eating people is wrong
So eating animals is wrong
Metempsychosis
The soul is immortal
passing on into another body
either human or animal after your death
Metempsychosis
People are reborn
in the time flow of life on earth
All life forms should be treated as kindred
Recollection of previous lives
Rebirth any number of times
Transmigration of souls
Through complete abstention from meat
all of us could recall what we have been
La viande rend l'esprit impur et fait de nous des brutes
You murder your cousin to eat his flesh
The cries of a dog is the voice of a friend
Recollection of previous lives
Rebirth any number of times
'til you break the circle
Return to the light of day from the dwellings of Hades
Break the vicious circle
Killing animals is killing people
Eating animals is eating people
And eating people is wrong
So eating animals is wrong.

Dionysos le seul dieu qui meurt
Dernier roi parmi les dieux
Dionysos a reçu l'univers
Des mains de son père Zeus
Le passage ne se fait plus par la dévoration
Mais par une cuisson initiatique
Les Titans maîtres initiateurs
Dionysos le seul sacrifice
Égorgé
Dépecé
Bouilli
Grillé
Unité dispersée
Meurtre antique
La douleur de Perséphone
Unité rassemblée
Les Titans condamnés
à leur prison cosmique
Le Tartare

Tu trouveras à gauche de la demeure d'Hadès une source
Et, tout auprès, un cyprès blanc.
Ne t'approche pas de cette source.
Tu en trouveras une autre,
Qui fait couler son eau fraîche
Du lac de Mnémosyne;
Des gardiens se tiennent devant elle. Dis-leur:
Je suis fils de la Terre et du Ciel étoilé;
Mais ma race est céleste; vous le savez aussi.
Je suis desséchée de soif et je meurs;
Donnez-moi vite
L'eau fraîche qui coule
du lac de Mnémosyne.
Et ils te laisseront boire à la source divine,
Et tu régneras alors parmi les autres héros.

Grounds of Suspicion
05:45
|
|
||
Riches consist not in the extent of possessions
but in the fewness of the wants
What people eat is a symbol of what they believe
It begins at breakfast
Animals are not fodder for humans
We make our life by the death of others
A god like power over living creatures
Doing nothing is allowing things to happen
Respect for life
We're all born in the footsteps of the cow
Take care of how you earn your living
you soldiers, butchers, fishermen...
You weak minds!
Fill the belly first and think the principles last
You weak minds!
Man is so fashionable
You weak minds!
The increase of luxury is but the multiplication of filth
You weak minds!
Respect for life
We're all born in the footsteps of the cow
Killing is not natural to humans
Killing needs a suitable setting
Gastronomic preferences legitimise regular slaughter
Vice is a necessary evil
They know their turn is coming soon
They know they're gonna die for nothing
For the pleasure of men
For stomachs
For weak minds
You know it, you know
There's more than just grounds of suspicion
Evidence is of your eyes
Evidence is of your ears
Violence is real
The violence of humankind

Diet of Blood
01:31
|
|
||
Impulse to sweetness
Longing for salt
Revulsion to bitterness
Caution with new foods
Obstinacy in sticking to foods we know
Desire for meat is sensual
Texture of cooked muscle's unique
Mysterious satisfaction
Memory of a hunting time
You cook meat because you tend to dislike the taste of blood
Disguise the murdered animal with herbs, spices, oil
as though embalming a human corpse
Don't you feel horror at the sight of the burnt corpse lying on the table?
Man is not a natural flesh eater
If you want flesh then kill it yourself
with your hands, your teeth and your jaws
Then sit down and eat it
You're already in putrefaction
Your belly is a malediction
You're nothing more than a passage for food
Nothing more than a filler of privies
Has nature given us so insatiable a stomach
while she has given us so insignificant bodies?
