The Sun God
by @orinthebard
Liner Notes
The sun god did not want me to post this, as I had technical issues at every turn. The tempo is still messed up somehow-- idek 😀
This song about how we sacrifice our bodies to capitalism 🌞🩸
Acoustic one-take + fake drums for now
Lyrics
The sun god, he wants one more
What’s another human sacrifice to the Lord?
The sun god, he wants one more
If we we wanna keep the world spinning, better pour
The blood
It’s all for love
We pour the blood
And call it love
I dreamt the first people-pleaser was a king
To the gods he would sacrifice anything
He spoke Nahuatl and he came from space
And he prayed the gods don’t wipe out the human race
With blood
It’s all for love
We pour the blood
And call it love
And I was taught about a great flood
God sent to wipe out the ones he didn’t want
He said, this time it’s different
This time it’s different
This time it’s different
This time it’s different
And I was taught that capital
Is the thing that makes you happy like a god with gold
Just pour out your spirit
Pour out your spirit
This time it’s different
This time it’s different
I dreamt I was climbing to the sun
For the bragging rights once I was done
The sun god, he wants one more
What’s another human sacrifice to the Lord?
The sun god, he wants one more
If we wanna keep the world spinning, better pour
The blood
It’s all for love
We pour the blood
And call it love
Saying this time it’s different
This time it’s different
This time it’s different
This time it’s different
The sun god, he wants one more
What’s another human sacrifice to the Lord?
Comments
I also liked the switch to the pour out your spirit when in the previous line you had ended with the idea of wealth (capitalism) with the use of words like capital and gold.
The "this time it's a different" gets a little frantic at the end which is just perfect with the build up of the rest of the song.
Awesome song. Sorry the production was giving you problems but I would say it was worth, cause it sounds great.
