Song Clip
This is a skit in the middle of a song called "And When He Falleth", by Theatre of Tragedy. It sounds like a clip from a movie or something, I'm not sure where the original source is from but I've always thought it cool so I thought I'd post it:
That cross you wear around your neck, is it only a decoration, or are you a true Christian believer?
Yes, I believe, truly.
Then I want you to remove it at once, and to never wear it in this castle again. Do you know how a falcon is trained, my dear? Her eyes are sewn shut. Blinded temporarily, she suffers the whims of her god, patiently. But her will is submerged, and she learns to serve, as your God taught you, blinded you, with crosses.
You have me take off my cross because it offended...
...It offended no one! No, it simply appeared to me to be discourteous to wear the symbol of a deity long dead. My ancestor's tryied to find it, to open the door that seperates us from our Creator.
You need no door to find God, if you believe...
Believe? If you believe, you are gullible. Can you look around this world and believe in the goodness of the God who rules it? Famine, pestilence, war, disease, and death. They rule this world.
There is also love, and life, and hope.
Very little hope, I assure you. No. If a god of love and life ever did exist, it is long since dead. Someone, something, rules in it's place.
Btw, I'm not as cranky now after a few hours of video games and some music...still very frustrated, though.
