day 47, halo 8, track 3

Today's song is "Heresy." From what I can gather, the lyrics are about anger at conservative Christianity's depiction of the AIDS virus as some kind of punishment for homosexuality.

This song has some common ground with Year Zero's Vessel, in that both reference God and what the TR or the narrator can put inside of himself.

"Heresy" live in Brixton.

Also, iirc, the demo lyrics are different from the lyrics as-sung in the "real" version. The demo and printed lyrics say "Your god is dead," while the final cut is (or, at the very least, sounds like) "God is dead," which is both more Nietzchean and more anti-religion (versus just being anti-some-particular-religion, which I tend to see "your god" as implying.)
