Album “Peace Beyond Passion”‎



Un album incentrato su di una trilogia di canzoni che, muovendo da una lettura critica della Bibbia, ‎condannano l’inumanità dell’uomo verso i suoi simili: razzismo, sessismo, omofobia….‎
Hey faggot, better run, learn to run, 'cause daddy's home.
Daddy's sweet little boy just a little too sweet.
And, every night the man showed the faggot what a real man should be.
But, the man and the faggot will never see.
For so many can't even perceive a real man.
Tell me.

It's not that the faggot didn't find a woman, fine and beautiful.
He admired, desired her desire.
‎(Wanted love from a strong hand).
The faggot wanted the love of a man.

His mother would pray.
Save him! Save him! Save her from this life!

His mother would pray.
Save him!
Save her from this life!

Save him!
Save her from this life! (Mama what you gonna do now)?

Go to church, boy.
Faggot, you're just a prisoner of your own perverted world.
No picket fence, stop acting like a bitch!
But, that's all you see.
‎(Ain't that what faggot means)?
No love dreams,
Only the favors sweet Michael performed for money to eat,
‎'Cause the man kicked the faggot out the house at sixteen.
‎(Mama let it be).
Before long he was crowned Queen for all the world to see,
His bloody body face down.
All hail the queen.
The wages of sin are surely death, child.
Yes, that's what Mama used to say,
So there was no sympathy.

His mother would pray. (Yes she would).
Save him! Save him! Save her from this life!

His mother would pray.
Save him!
‎(Yes she would, now).
Save her from this life!
‎(Down on her knees)....

Save him!
Save me from this life.

‎(Hoo-hoo hoo)
Searchin' and searchin' now....
‎(Hoo-hoo hoo-hoo)
Sock it to me now.
‎(Hoo-hoo hoo)
Searchin' and searchin'....
‎(Hoo-hoo hoo)

His mother would pray. (She would pray)!
Save him! Save him! Save her from this life!

His mother would pray.
Yes she would! (Yes she would).
Save me from this life!

Hey faggot!
You better run, learn to run, 'cause daddy's home.
Daddy's sweet little boy just a little too sweet,
Just a little too sweet.

La-la-la, la-la-la, save me from this life!‎
La-la-la, la-la-la, save me from this life!
La-la-la, la-la-la, save me from this life!
La-la-la, la-la-la, save me from this life!

Beautiful angels dance around my soul,
As I rise!‎
