A lot of people could think this is a religious track, but it's not. Vatican is about fighting addictions that rule your mind and beat you down. "Scrape your knees, as you kneel" Basically surrendering to your addiction. "As your king, 'the substance' smashes your skull." I try to keep it very poetic and open for the listener to create their own connection as well.
lyrics
Another replica of a saint
Drinks the cup of denial
I've felt the earth shake
With thoughts of you
Scrape your knees, as you kneel
As your king smashes your skull
I see your flaws
One winged beauty
Bleeding on the cross
Can you save me?
Another replica of a dog
Bites the hand of justice
I've felt your world choke
By my hands
By my fucking hands
So sad to see this band fade. These lyrics hit home very hard and every instrument melts together in one powerful melancholic, bitter cocktail. When I am cycling in the marshes and the abandoned forest roads, while listening to King Apathy, I feel very connected to the mother that gave birth to us all. Mako's Abs
