Blessed Are the Sick / Leading the Rats

Song Meaning

The lyrics introduce a dark, ancient entity, describing its inherent nature. It speaks of being "born to serve" a purpose of destruction and suffering. There's a palpable sense of malevolence and a twisted liberation from past condemnation. A core tension emerges from the speaker's self-identification with an inherent "disease" and an "ever lusting pain." This isn't a reluctant evil; it's a fundamental aspect of its being, seemingly beyond a creator's original intent.
