What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
A heroine, a deity
2
On heroin or vanity
3
To jack their personality
4
Beyond normal humanity
5
A crowd of massed humanity
6
Bows down and worships diligently.
7
He's built a loyal following,
8
And soon they steer him thoroughly.
9
But jealous man plots from the pews--
10
No need for valid righteousness
11
One slightly truthful word set free
12
Will turn the tides quite easily
13
Our accusations need not be
14
What would bury mortal man--
15
The sins of our own deity
16
Are tiny, but on these we stand
17
We don't cry for the gods that die by our hands--
18
We throw stones if our gods take a stand
19
We create and destroy our stigmata martyrs, stigmata martyrs
20
So once upon the podium
21
A crucifix we then erect
22
And nail our hero heartily,
23
Hands and feet, and bind his neck
24
The reason for our worship fades
25
Our idol's drenched in his own blood
26
Forgotten are the virtues that
27
We valued beyond royalty
28
We don't cry for the gods that die by our hands--
29
We throw stones if our gods take a stand
30
We create and destroy our stigmata martyrs, stigmata martyrs
31
With joy we dig his shallow grave,
32
Anticipating pains to come
33
We watch the wriggling dance of death
34
And laugh, light-hearted, at death's fun
35
We've pounded out the joyous light;
36
Our savior's buried now for years
37
A legend now of time gone by,
38
A martyr of forgotten tears
39
We don't cry for the gods that die by our hands--
40
We throw stones if our gods take a stand
41
We create and destroy our stigmata martyrs, stigmata martyrs
