qec Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Someone was telling me that Crass recorded the most heretical/blasphemous song she'd ever heard. Anybody have any idea what that might be? I'll try to ask her tonight when I see her; she said it was just this 9 minute litany and almost any Christian would've shit their pants.

Hungrydingo Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Well if you're into metal, slayer has always had some awesome songs and lyrics. One in particular is Behind the Crooked Cross. Sounds like it's written from the persepctive of someone fighting in the crusades or some sort of holy war who starts to doubt their faith and the cause they fight for, but it can apply to modern times or any person who at some point has doubted what they believed in and if what they're doing is the right thing to do. The third stanza is my favorite. Time melts away in this living inferno Trapped by a cause that I once understood Feeling a sickness building inside of me Who will I really have to answer to March on through the rivers of red Souls drift, they fill the air Forced to fight behind The crooked cross Do only what is expected of me With no emotions my feelings suppressed Blind obedience carries me through it all Conscience a word I learned to forget March on through the rivers of red Flesh burns, it fills the air Forced to fight behind The crooked cross Time melts away in this living inferno Trapped by a cause that I once understood Blind obedience carries me through it all Do only what is expected of me March on through the rivers of red Souls drift, they fill the air Forced to fight behind The crooked cross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreeLily Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 This is way more on the mellow side of what's been mentioned, but Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins' "Rabbit Fur Coat" is one of my all-time favorite albums. The first track is so southern-gospelly, you start to wonder WTF, but it progresses into folksy, catchy tunes with clever lyrics of full of irony and doubt. "Born Secular" is one of the best tracks, and "Rise Up With Fists" -- great parody video from Sarah Silverman's show ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
