Exploring themes of religious oppression and personal liberation, this powerful track presents a critique of blind faith and the dangers it can pose. The lyrics depict a person's struggle with their religious beliefs, feeling trapped by doctrines and rituals that no longer serve them. The "Holy Roller" is a symbol for religious figures who exploit faith for their own gain. The repeated line "Blood into wine, take my body instead" suggests self-sacrifice, possibly referring to the pressure to conform to religious norms at the expense of one's individuality. The refrain about cutting ties indicates the protagonist's decision to break free from these constraints. Overall, this song is a poignant commentary on religion's potential for manipulation and control.
Holy Roller
Lyrics
Holy Roller sits in the garden we fled
Blood into wine, take my body instead
Holy Roller sits in the garden we fled
Blood into wine, take my body instead
Holy Roller
Stand
To the left of me
In paradise
Holy Ghosts will
Born of blood
In seraphim
To grip the Nazarene
Crown of God
You wear it thin
To come and rapture me
Holy Roller sits in the garden we fled
Blood into wine, take my body instead
Holy Roller sits in the garden we fled
Blood into wine, take my body instead
Stand
To the left of me
In paradise
Holy Ghosts will
Fade
Into oblivion
Like a blade
Falling slowly
Curse the holy down
And when I die, you won't pray for me
That's when I learn to
Cut my ties
And when I die, you won't pray for me
That's when I learn to
Cut my ties
Stand
To the left of me
In paradise
Holy Ghosts will
Fade
Into oblivion
Like a blade
Falling slowly (down)
