If Agnes returned how do you think she’d feel About her venerated innocence when that’s what got her killed? And being made a Catholic Saint for purity and youth in a desperate smokescreen used to bury such ugly truths She was murdered by men for whom she wouldn’t submit and martyred by the church in the name of virtue despite the fact that it... covers up child abuse and takes away victims voices forbids abortion and bans women’s contraceptive choices And the lamb she gently holds is nothing more than a Sunday meal Another Symbol of innocence turned twisted and venal And it’s all done through pacifying lies with cognitive dissonance supplied So you never have to see the pain in your victim’s eyes Your victims eyes When I was young my Grandfather took me to a slaughterhouse I tried to comprehend such awful sights and sounds My parents owned a butchers shop and made me work in too I don’t think they understood what it put me through But fuck it, now I walk around with my eyes open To the suffering and exploitation that we all play a part in Either through passiveness or active involvement And Agnes’ Sainthood was just to mask the horror Just like stroking baby lambs and killing them at Easter But if there’s one thing I’ve learnt from all of this She was just a young girl who wouldn’t put up with your shit ‘Cos when someone says no they fucking well mean it

about

Agnes of Rome takes the story of Agnes, the Catholic martyr of purity and innocence, to draw lines between the crimes and failings of the Catholic church, patricentricity and the horrors of the meat industry (with an outline of my own journey from teenage butchers boy to committed vegan). Emerentiana was Agnes' sister, as she shouldn't be forgotten either.

Click on 'lyrics' if you want to read 'em (just Agnes though. The other two tracks are instrumentals).
